Trapper medal

[firebomb9]

Is trapper medal bugged? I have killed enemy troops with traps but it still shows 0/10.

You have to actually kill off the stack with traps, not just kill troops..

Thanks for the reply. I get it now, but having a really hard time trying to get a small enough stack to step on the trap!

umm it's not that hard. get some flying units and figth versus melee armies. kite them and it's very predictable where they will go

Guard droid hook attack , archmage telekinesis ability , green dragon grab ability , or try this : (spoiler) take some strong unit to deal with enemy and then take 10 inquisitors (split them in 1 + 1 + 1 + 7, 5th slot is some dragon best). Let dragon kill enemy but leave some weak range stack alive and then use trap 1st lvl in front of your inquisitor , move him on trap to die it will count for medal and give you lots of mana from transmutate skill in magic tree if you took it. Then revive dead inquisitor with some of others and repeat this as much as you can (you can get 3rd lvl medal in 1 battle with this). But dont kill stack of 7 inquisitors because on them you cast phantom when you use revive on other 3x1 stack.
Try it out on some weak enemy to see how it goes.

It's really simple to achieve when you get the knack of it. I have Trapper lvl 3 in my current run.

Trapper lvl 3 helps a lot and the pre-made traps make a lot of damage so it is worth investing a time in it.

PS. Although in the castle sieges the traps often are more useful to the enemy then to me

Also going against Scoffer Imps with lvl 3 trapper often backfires as well. It helps not to cast mass haste until you take the little buggers out though.

In my first game I got trap spell really late, so it was hard to arrange it so that low stack numbers stepped on them. In the new game, I got it early. I am a trapper level three. It is a clear case of be careful what you wish for, because they are often strategically placed to be more of a nuisance and a hindrance than a help to my troops.

It's definitely easier if you get the spell early and start using it aggressively right away. It gets easier after level 1 because the traps placed by the medal effect are usually much stronger than the spell ones (though they tend to spawn in rather useless spots).

I also recommend using elemental effects (poison/fire/frost) as much as possible as the periodic damage can't kill the troop entirely and is useful for softening them up.
Plus you get to work on Battle Alchemy at the same time
