Shall we start a new high score/info thread? (Spoilers inside)

"Since you can't summon the dragon, you can't transform rage to mana. Well, this little toy will do that for you. It's 5 for 5, but it's better than nothing."

DGD what about the Order Magic spell that converts Rage into Mana? Not quite as efficient as a mana ball but only costs 1 mana to use and on level 3 is about 75% efficient from memory.

Anyways, great result! I'm trying a Mage no-loss play through at the moment as well as a Warrior and i completely agree about the need to do some serious sneaking first.

Exactly, i was using calm rage like crazy during ktahu and ball fight

That is a very good question! Now you can ask me why I sold it without thinking I would not have a proper answer.

I noticed your army had no sprites and fairies? Also, your tirexes were your best fighters yet were not in your army? Is that cause you got them very late in the game? they killed 22% of your enemies

I haven't come across any good dinosaurs yet, only the flying units

I did a stealing spree all the way to Reha in the beginning, So I came out of there with 19 Tirex eggs and started using them since battle 1. Free units for the win

Sprites and Fairies can ruin a no-loss game, especially as a Mage. In fact any unit that is low on HP can do that.

What was fun about that playthrough, was that I had to utilize every single bit of knowledge about this game in order to pull out a no-loss victory The Mage hero is really hard, so a lot of intellect and unusual cunning are called for

That's amazing. You didn't have a single fight for ages yet you got to Reha lol I can't seem to get the troops guarding the nav maps out of the way, most of them anyway.... so how are you able to?

Using the pause trick. Run at a 90 degrees at them (not directly at them, or they'll kill you), and if they move out of their place while you're getting away, hit space to pause. Quicksave while paused. Prepare to move just an inch and pause again. If it happens successfully, pause and quicksave again. If not, restore the old game. You have the advantage of the paused game to try the same.

This way you can kite any map guard who is not in a really tight spot. The ones in tight spots... You can't, unless you get lucky, and to get lucky it takes a ton of attempts.

Oh, and it needs a lot of practice. So practice, guys

Or you could just edit the save game to unlock all the maps, right? I guess either way you don't get the 'cheater' comment on your final save.

ok,

I might have a crack at the record. (+no loss)

I've scanned a lot of save games and got a save game with the scaly set by montero mines and twinkling boots in Elon.

I'll have to check for hand of necropolis too, but I suspect they won't be needing till late game.

Basically I'm not kiting at the start, in case there are scroll guardians I can't beat, plus it's faster to not kite, although I might need to do *some* later on.

Playing Mage so, 1st I'll clear debir, ->
Skills-> get to 350 leadership with the pal skill. -> then get the mana regen for mage, then 30% learning pal skill. This will be hard because I won't have chaos magic for a while, and I hope fire arrow will be enough.

Do you think that the dragon bash should be upgraded at the start to make the first battles easier ? Obviously, it's almost useless later on. Probably have 2 stacks of inquisitors to get rage.

I might get a call of undead wander scroll or call colossus would be nice at this point.

Scarlet - I'll get 3 slots for arch mages to cast magic armour, every round for ten rounds until I get armor ahievement. Might need to change config for the harder battles. I'm not sure if it's possible to clear scarlet at the start but I'll give it whirl.
I know you need to come back to it later on for a annoying quest.

I'll prob skip bolo If i can and hit rusty anchor in search of a green dragon, like what unicornxp does.

I'll need to figure out the "primary key" of the shortest paths to locations that also fulfils every quest. Anyone have that primary key ?
