Impossible Warrior challenge

[pillz]

I am also on warrior impossible. It's very possible with no losses.

I used this strategy - by lvl 5 i was at demonis grabbing the dragon eggs. Thus now i'm back clearing the basic stuff without any losses at all. I have the sacrifice spell, but currently have not enough intellect to get a dragon out of it ... well that's how i'm doing it at least. Currently my stacks are emerald, black, red dragon and a stack of archdevils.

I'm a bit confused - how are people getting to demonis at level 5 ? I thought that in order to get there you had to (a) kill the turtle and (b) obtain the dwarven map. It would seem to me that killing the turtle as warrior pre-level 5 is quite a feat (with or without losses). Also, to obtaint he map you need either 50K; kill redbeard or kill john. This also seems quite a feat at pre-level 5. Am I missing something obvious ?

The turtle can be killed at level 5 and lucky james at level 7 , but I don't know if it can be done without losses.

Probably cause some people bragging on here are talking absolute bollocks mate!

There are some very lofty claims indeed. People who have never played the game before, or very little, completing it on impossible at the first attempt.... with or without no losses ha ha

The internet is full of insecure attention seekers

I don't think that was aimed at me, probably the likes of Calinda, sector24 and MajorS, but I am getting tired of your inferiority complex. I don't think any of them have cheated or made stuff up (why would you bother?). They have just learned how to master the game.

[Calinda]

As a matter of fact I managed to kill the turtle at day 2, about 6:40-something in the morning; army used 42 bowmen; 8 archmages; 2 thorn hunters; Hero was lvl 4, and I only used spells haste and battle cry; both mages and thorns were split into 2 groups, for telekinesis x2 and thorn spawn cycling. So at 7:10 on day 2, I am baron with 2600 leadership - nice start to try to beat my previous highscore

Just from my personal point of view, the score exists for people to compete for the best scores. It's definitely not the kind of thing that everyone wants to shoot for, and I can totally understand why people would think that min/maxers are silly. I just chose a personal challenge that I thought would make the game more fun, and I can tell you that it was significantly more entertaining for me. None of the fights were boring and some of the fights were epic where if I was just playing and didn't care about losing a few guys they'd have been routine. I think some of the zones have a few too many fights that can kind of erode your desire to play, and this was one of the ways to keep things interesting for me.

Um, yeah. I've almost played this through four times now, which is just nuts given that it takes 60 hours to play the game, and certain areas really seem to grind more than others. On the other hand, I didn't want to try the no losses challenge myself because I know you were doing it (and the russian guy shd has done it before) and also because I knew it would take a lot longer to play.

I love this game more than any game in maybe the last five years, but there are too many fights and the level progression does slow down a bit much. It's a bit stupid how the main quest fights don't scale up in difficulty, meaning that you can defeat General Karador for example but not the dragon that prowls around outside.

Some areas seem to grind more than others as well. I've decided now that Freedom Isles and Kordar are the worst grindfest. Darion, on the other hand, is still extremely fun, and I like Ellinia and the Land of the Dead too.

I'm up to level 23 in my game now. Money is a bit of an issue (only 500,000) but other than that, the game is breezing by. I've already unlocked Haas' Labyrinth but I need to grind through the rest of Ellinia, Land of the Dead and Demonis to increase my level.

[MajorS]

Day 10 7:00am just back from defeating Karador and omw to Demonis.

ETA for finish Day 12-13

So far Warrior doesnt play much different than mage (bit harder in the beginning, bit easier now). Im still using Thorns in a stack of 2500 with 4-6 damage (crown + 2x +1 damage weapons) dealing more damage at long range than Elves.

Agree. Its not like such a game has never been there before. Everyone that played HoMM, AoW or the Original Kings Bounty already knows basics and some obviously some of the tactics like Angas + Fairies is already common knowledge.

I don't know about the other difficulties but on impossible, the map is actually 100k, not 50. I seriously don't see how a warrior can defeat James at L7 with no losses but Redbeard is certainly possible. At L5 with no losses all game, you would have to get some insane stuff in the form of artifacts.
