Sorry, I meant with the strategic approach with minimum losses. Zerging of course also works.

Just use Frog wife with all 3 types of snakes + inquisitors/evil beholders and whatever else u want - snakes will massacre the redbeard's army themslves and u gain access to dwarven mines

Another VERY important hint: ALWAYS sweep wherever u can WITHOUT fighting to gather all cash/items/flags whle luring away th enemy THEN buy bigger army/items and come back to fighting.

On impossible TRADE is crucial!!! one crapload of scrolls from few areas can be worth even 50000k and u can sell every item u've been using for the same cash u purchased it when u find a better one.

Last hint: start all upgrade fights with strongest possible rage attack or a geyser spell - it can decimate entire army and pull down or significantly damage the pesky towers - ull sustain much less damage this way and a ppure int mage can 1-hit many battles with geyser

with 35-40 intelligence u do around 2k dmg to 8 targets and 5-6 dmg with fire rain spell[with 30%+ fire amulet]

I think person trying to do impossible already know that. Its about warrior so high int spells is bad here.Also 1 hiting battle with geyser on impossible will not work, stacks are too big. And for upgrades strongest items on impossible gremlins got like 10k+ hp so this 2k is not realy much ~~. They are quite easy with srpites/lake fairies and archers like hunters and dragon arrowed skells

Well I've been doing some thinking about calinda's savegame he posted in the impossible warrior challenge thread, and the only way to pull that off is to be extremely fortunate with items, spells and units in the game. There is no way you could pull off those end statistics if you do not have gift, many inquisitors available to buy, target, slow and source of magic before you go to freedom islands or find the spells on freedom islands.

I get the limited horsemen thing, you only need the amount the tent gives you in greenwort. You are not losing any units so need for sacrifice. However, this does require you to have many inquisitors (25+) available to buy in order to be able to resurrect. Then of course you also need gift, source of magic and target. Then you need to play long battles with enemies to get out without losses and as much rage and mana as possible.

For the gift ressing, this gets quite tedious as your only way to restore mana is through source of magic. Some battles just seem impossible to regain enough mana to ress the dead due to enemy units not cooperating.

I would love to see the savegames of people who got 1650+ scores on impossible with a warrior when they are in darion and freedom islands. Basically before you get reaper spirit because its from there on.

Funny how i struggle more with the beginning of the game then the end in terms of fastest playthrough with minimum losses.

Actually I did have sacrifice; for units - I used the same that you mentioned in the first post in this thread, but managed to keep the stacks maxed almost all the time. And I think I was lvl 11 when I went to islands.

Hi Calinda, thanks for the reply. Im really amazed by your accomplishment and your score. I was wondering, do you still have any of those savegames left? If so, I would love to take a look at them, I just keep struggling at freedom islands and feel I could do much better. I really appreciated your ambrosius savegame. Feels like a pre-arranged chessgame which you have to solve, I really like that

[Razorflame]

it's not so hard if personally feel the warrior is the easiest to play with
it really get A HUGE army

but anyway

when u start the game first priority is maxing learning too 3 then distortian magic then u can free run the rest of the nescessary skills

[Calinda]

I have only part of the saved games on this PC, the others are elsewhere, I may check if I still keep them on Monday. Anyway, the earliest game that I have here is from the Freedom Islands, pity not right from the start of them - the first island is somewhat complete - but it shows what I did have at that time. Now when I look at it - besides everything else I had pretty good children from the zombie wife

[Razorflame]

gats beat your score yet?

[Calinda]

Even if he did, he didn't post anything about it ... So my guess is no, he didn't.

And I went to office earlier, so noone will have to wait till Monday Here are a few more old saves. One from nearly the beginning of the game, second from the start of the Freedom Islands, and there are 2 games in the last one, the interesting there is that I upgraded to the Marshal's batton in-between them, and I remember that the battle for the upgrade was very challenging at that time. Very hard to win, long, satisfying and everything that a battle can be
