Hardly! But thanks mate . It seems like there are a lot of people out there who make me look like a mere child in comparisment!

Yes. I dident go to any islands twice except for when I had to hand in a few quests and such. Sometimes its hard, well tedious as you have to reload a lot on some fights. But its the most effective way to do it. Also if you have the right spells you can do anything really. This playtrough I found all spells and even better I found the important ones really early on aswell. (for the most part). Its not like you need that many spells when you have red dragons sniping all over the place .



I found impossible easier with one stack then with a full army. As you can see in my screen I spent most of the game using Red Dragons and they were quite easy to keep up using max rank heal and "time back" if it got nasty.

I would also hit space to pause after every fight to plan ahead on where I would go next and I tried to end most of my fights with full mana and rage.

Also I would save a lot and run around to plan out routes and try some fights just to see how it would go.

All in all this playtrough took me 4-5 weeks and the hardest part for me was actually Umkas. Got some crazy huge shaman armys there with the WRONG kind of support units.



What challenge to go for now.. hmm

How did you manage to kill armies with huge stacks of shamans(especially if they are distributed into 3 stacks), I had to go all the way back to just have a single Black Dragon army to avoid their devastating magic axes.
I have no idea how I would beat them as warrior.

Yeah that was the hardest part of the game for me. For those fights I ended up stacking defensive items and I had the magic resistance hat that cut 50% of the damage (giftbag item) and stone skin was always up. The trick was to survive the damage they did every turn while casting rank 3 heal.

It was especially bad with 3 shamans + catapults, but it works if you stack enough damage reduction and catapults can be quite easily crowd controlled with fear or such. In the end I wore them down with my red dragons. One thing I noticed was that based on what spells I would use, they sometimes change the order of how they used their spells. Surviving one or two sets of axes is not as hard as surviving 3 sets. Also if they move a step prior to casting their spell you can reload and put a trap in that spot.

Hope any of this helped .

It is finally done...

main goals:
* Impossible difficulty using Warrior class
* LEVEL 61!!!
* Day 7
* all 87 quests
* ZERO casualties

seconday goals:
* all medals at level 3
* FAILED: pet dragon only level 57 (was targeting level 60)

final score: 1,869

Screenshots of high score pages attached. I might create a post giving tips on how to achieve this (especially the level 61 goal) but I would like to give KBAP a rest for now.

As with with my KBTL high score game, this is my only KBAP game that I finished; the attempt simply takes too much time planning and doing, and I don't have too much playing time with family and work being my priority.

As always, it has been a blast playing KB!

Well done loreangelicus. Some people are born to get absolutely everything out of games. Apparently you are one of them. Respect.

Thanks, but I did have a great advantage in foresight by reading up on the discussions in this forum before making my attempt.

As such, I would like to give credit where credit is due:

1) unicornXP for the Day 7 path that involves getting all 87 quests

2) DGDobrev for doing the initial run for level 60 and posting GREAT tips on how to achieve it

3) all the contributors in this forum that showed me the power of black knights, bone dragons, and the two droids for the zero casualties attempt

4) lady luck for placing the two Hand of Necropolis XP items BOTH ON VERONA

Heck, the only genuine contributions that I have are: 1) replaying easy battles to dig chests for call colossus/call of death/ancient knowledge early on, and 2) replaying Elenhel battles to get him to cough up ancient knowledge every 30 battles.

I'll write up the post giving tips on my run; may it serve to inspire others (especially the veterans) to make a high score run as well. It should be noted that I didn't play with the gift bag mod, and that playing with the said mod could lead to a LEVEL 62 run since I think it adds another +5% XP item.

[DGDobrev]

In my opinion, loreangelicus, you're too modest Thanks for giving me a credit, but the achievement is entirely your own. It represents hours of commitment, perseverance and a strong will to keep on going. This is something few people possess in abundance. You had the nerves of steel to get the most out of the battles.

Great work

As for the 62, I'm uncertain. I think the 5% isn't as much as it looks, but it is well worth the try.

Thanks.

Btw, here is my "official" post regarding my run. Hopefully it inspires others to follow suit just as I have been inspired by the accomplishments of others.
