I'm back!
I had an accident... this Monday afternoon, in my office I suddenly saw some black floating objects inside my right eye. I have floaters in both eyes since I can remember, but those were new additions. On close inspection they dispersed... and I knew I had blood in my right eye. I left work immediately for an ophthalmologist... he told me that my right eye indeed had a blood vessel bursted. Bleeding already stopped when I noticed it, and my retina had no sign of falling off, so he sent me home with some medicine, vitamin C pills and "Papase 30mg" (seems to be some anti-swelling enzyme), and told me to come back two weeks later. I still have no clue why that happened... I never had any eye problems before, other than being close-sighted, astigmatism and occasionally dry eyes, which is understandable for an IT guy that stares at monitors a lot. So I'm now taking it very seriously... a mandatory 5 minutes break every hour from any reading. Hopefully I won't have another busted blood vessel somewhere... While I have to stop realtime gaming like Starcraft II, luckily Armored Princess and upcoming Civ5 are still viable choices. Anyway, I defeated Elenhel, but not really because of a lot of skill on my part. It's just the mysterious ways the AI acts in this game. I tried single 8/8 EGD stack using invisibility first, but Elenhel's stacks moved first, and I was down to 4 EGD when I get to move. I tried several times more (on Orc islands), and then started switching the triggering battle, trying to start out on a better terrain with full rage/mana. Eventually I chose the magic protection test as my triggering battle (I know I won't get a chance to equip it)... I didn't end it with full rage/mana, but somehow in Elon Elenhel stopped spamming geyser every single turn. Instead he chose to use Call of Nature almost every turn, and only used Sheep on my Archmage and Demonologist stacks once each. Here's the before and after saves... http://www.box.net/shared/639y9dg97e And here's the result screen... Archmage stack didn't deal enough damage to out rank the multiple stacks of Cerberus. @ impy: Quote:

Edit: Exchanged mind runes (had near 40) for magic runes, so I have Summoning III now. Might runes is around 15, I think I can go for more bonus defense in Defense and Caution later, or get Anger II. Only Concentration III left, then it's Wisdom or the map-regen on for a bigger mana pool. Got flying mount. Last edited by kcwong; 09-11-2010 at 10:12 AM. |

Your spells seem to do very little of your damage, percentage wise.
I continued using dragons/archdemons and cleared out all the islands of regular armies. I would mix up between using a single stack of dragons, multiple stacks, or dragons + demons depending on whether my strategy was more kiting or more aggressive. Fear, geyster, death star, and ghost blade the dominant spells. After that I went back and started taking out heroes (using a knowledge scroll for extra xp), and once I'd done that, I started knocking down bosses. Driller, Demenion, the frog were all easy with my dragon army (hellooo hitting the boss through its own summoned troop), but I could quickly tell that wouldn't work for Gremlion. I wound up using royal gryphons, archmages, and paladins for Gremlion. With two archmages robes, the +crit belt, and +crit mind skill, my archmages had a 100% critical strike rate. I used their magic shield on the paladins (they have lesser resistance) and attacked the boss otherwise. I let the gryphons and paladins kill the gremlin towers, while the paladins would give extra turns to the archmages. I cast ghost blades and fire arrows on Gremlion, and resurrected troops when my spell power hit 90-100% on that troop. I used rage eater to keep my mana up, and on the very last round, had my paladins heal all three troops to their full stack. Driller Demenion Gremlion |

Here's some fights with higher magic damage percentage... Champion Title Demenion Dragon Cave in Montero Fat Tirex hero in Reha The cave the necromancer sent me to Royal Thorn hero on Elon Here's some boss fights: Samman Driller I only have Gremlin and Lizard to go. Both are quite tough as I only have one of magic (the certificate) and one of physical resistance (slippery cuirass) artifact, plus leather dress (5% all). Current army is Demonologist, Archmage, Paladin, Royal Griffin and Horseman (replacing Troll). I maxed out all skills except Alchemy (which is 0) on Magic tree. In Might tree I have 3 Defense (any more def I can get is good), 3 Cautious, 3 Rage Control, 2 Dragon Training, 1 Anger. In Mind tree I have all the left-most skills at 3 (except the one for more gold, which is at 1), plus 3 Holy Anger (for bonus against Baal), 1 +Critical%, 1 Persuasion (since I'm mostly using human troops now), 3 Glory (for a bit more troops). Edit: Wait - I forgot Moro Dark. He's still on Elon with about 30 black dragons. I will defeat him this time. Last edited by kcwong; 09-18-2010 at 07:50 AM. |
