What do you guys think of this challenge?

[TemjinGold]

1) Impossible Difficulty
2) Must complete and win all fights
3) Can only use Level 1-2 units throughout the whole game (including for the training fights so warriors need to nix the bears and you can't use the pallies!)
4) No summons/mystic egg/phoenix/etc. Phantom is fine but that is the only thing remotely related to a summon allowed.

What do you guys think?

would be interesting, minus the training fights. I'm not even sure if you COULD beat the ents and thorn without using the paladins, do to their amazingly high defense and HP. Especially with a warrior.

I think you should be able to use egg and call of nature, but only at the level where they only get level 1 and 2 units.

[TemjinGold]

The training fights are possible as I've personally done them (defend mostly and abuse dragon kick + spells/scrolls.) The point of not using egg and summons is because a lot of no-loss games and games in general have such a heavy reliance on them.

Few lvl 1-2 units have good resistances and will die like flies to the bosses' mass attacks. Turn-backing may help, but that spell is very, very costly and I wonder how long you will be able to hold your ground against Zilgadis, K'Tahu and Baal. Fairies and Dryads may still do some considerable damage, but few level 1-2 units are good enough to provide some tanking (and spawning thorns requires some time, since dryads have lower initiative than most high-level units).

Other difficult armies to beat will include dryads, evil eyes/beholders (their sleeping attacks seems to proc against lower level targets much more often), and others.

The only difficulty that can be won with Peasants (or other lvl 1 unit) only is Easy, I suppose. Enemies (even bosses) are weak and Resurrection spell can cope with the losses.

Still, that challenge may be possible, but the true trial by fire will be the final boss battles, as their attacks are very powerful and will surely deal 300% damage to lvl 1-2 creatures due to the atk/def ratio and that may push some general attacks to well over 8-10k damage - and that hurts.

I guess this would be possible if you are not going for a no-loss game and the only requirement is that you fight all battles and win them.

If you have Eviln and the Burial Mask (+2 defense, -20% leadership of zombies) then undead units to consider are:

Skeleton Archer
Zombie
Decaying Zombie

Let's not forget the no-retaliation, fireball-throwing imps:

Imp
Scoffer Imp

And of course, some power-puff girls:

Lake Fairy
Forest Fairy
Dryad

It's definitely possible to win and complete, but as a no-loss? No thanks, I'll pass.

[Zechnophobe]

Well, he didn't say 'no loss' in the list, so I assume that isn't a stipulation.

This would possibly be a fun challenge though since it would require you to use troops you don't often use. I might give it a shot. Paladin with resurrect talent can help a lot, I imagine.
