My attempt at getting the highest score

[McSwan]

HI, ( aiming for 0 loss too)

I'm going debir->scarlet -> rusty -> verona-> mont -> verona-> bolo as the first route. I'm in Rusty atm.

I'm trying to use the "1 dragon" technique. I've discovered it's very slow lol. I killed hector norbo, the guy near the tent on scarlet, with 1 bone dragon and no mana. I just flew around for 3 turns, then would cast it's poison spray, then repeat again and again and again, until everything was dead.

I'm on Rusty now, and have 1 green, 1 red and 1 bone dragon.

Given that I don't have the fear spell, my fire arrow does 90 points of damage, healing heals for 75 dam, I "have" to use the dragons to do all the damage, or most of it. I don't know how else others killed the enemies on Rusty. Also, there was the joy that the creeps guarding the map to Verona were unkiteable.

So, I fought the map guards with my 3 dragons and 3% bonus physical resist. I had to kill about 100 bowmen, 50 inquisitors, and lots and lots of hand to hand guys. It was round 15 when the the last of the "shooters" finally fell, with some amazingly crazy kiting so I could hit the archers and not get hit by the tonne of hand to hand guys. After round 3 my bone dragon had just 1 hp left, so that 3% phys resist actually came in handy, and he didn't do much for the rest of the fight.

Then it was the spectre of the Hector norbo fight, of running around in circles, using the dragons special attacks.

Anyway the fight took a mere 2 hours. Ouch. And there's about 6~7 more fights like it.... + many many more in other continents.

So, for the 1 dragon style, do you go hard on levelling chaos magic, so you can kill stuff faster, or go for higher magic, or go for level 2 healing spell? I think the lev 2 healing spell might be the way to go. ( I have level 2 concentration)
