KBH, you have really turned over a new leaf here in the AP forum. No more raging about how people can beat the game so quickly and/or with no losses (I am 2/3 of the way through an Impossible Warrior no-loss game, btw). So congrats to you too.

he he you'll pardon my ignorance at the time. But the methods that were being used to achieve those ridiculous scores still offend me!

I may be joining you in a career as a (Music) Teacher. I spent nearly 20 years as a Musician with varying degrees of success and I feel the best way I can feel good about that time is too explain/teach others the pro's and con's of Music and the industry.

Oh and morning!

Shark Tooth - +5% XP per battle, +5% gold per battle
Learning skill - 20% XP per battle

So, maximum is +40% XP per battle.

OK so I started a new game as a pally and this is what I got after some "kiting" :

2 x Hand of Necropolis + 2x10% XP
Level 1 Treasure hunter + 3% XP
Shark Tooth +5%XP
Level 3 Learning + 20% XP
Total ----- 48% XP

I still didn't have even one fight ( not counting the tutorial). I'm wondering what will be the max level I'll achieve with this char??

[DGDobrev]

Maybe you can get to lvl 58 or even 59. Try it out

BTW, when I made this calculation, I wasn't aware that 2 hands of necropolis may spawn. However, I got 2 in all 3 of my last playthroughs, so it is completely viable.

Cool, the money is reasonably good and the holidays sure are nice. Two more weeks and then summer!

Oh and back on topic - DGD - I got two Hand of Necropolises in my current game too. Only using one though. I won't get anywhere near level 59 but I'm 49 now and there's still Nameless and Reha to go.

Well, if you have the spot, use it! +2 atk/def is a very welcome bonus for any warrior, at least in my opinion Few items are that useful, and the necro's gloves take the cake big time.

i had 2 in my first game but none of second one

[Elwin]

OK its time to post my scores.
One thing is bad: i have played 2 games and in none of them found a slippery cuirass whoch made the game only a little harder

First play .. normal mage to get familair with the game .. tried to minimalize the losses but it wasnt no loss run at all


Second play no loss hard warrior - easy :p

ONe thing which makes me wonder are numbers of units on the warrior game .. i always thought its the amonut i buy but its definetly to high shown there ...

[Metathron]

Woah, how'd you get your leadership to 49,000? In my warrior game, I thought I did good with 42,800! I see you had the baton, but I had the ogre set!?

[DGDobrev]

Great work, Elwin!!!

I sincerely hope you enjoyed the Tirex-paladin-chosha-archmage-gorguana army setup. It has wondrous potential 1 wonderful sacrificial lamb, regardless of the time of the day (Tirex), 1 unit that constantly spawns meatshields, much faster than the Royal thorn (Chosha), 1 unit to seriously boost ANY damage (gorguana), 1 unit to ress (Paladin) and 1 unit to ensure the Guardian Angel Medal + 50% less damage to the tank + 100% crit - Archmagi.

That simple army setup looks stupid at first glance but actually, those troops have it all - meatshield, resurrection, sacrifical lamb (so you don't have to waste time to go back for troop replenishment), and last, but not least - wicked damage
