My attempt at getting the highest score

Don't forget necro call scroll for a quest in umkas too.

Made it back to Monterro, after taking down K'TAHU down with 132 black knights. Man it is sooooo much easier now, on my final spin around the islands.
Day 6 currently, pretty sure I won't finish it by day 7.

Feel free to post anything on here too, lol. I imagine that, yes indeed, it would be an unbelieveably interesting thread with just me posting, but occasionally other peoples input is nice to make it appear as though the discussion is balanced.

I'm currently just spamming phantom mainly with emerald green dragons, the phantom giving me back the mana it cost to make them.

Also, I'm pointlessly casting fireballs on the ground where is no enemies to get that mage medal - 600 casts of fire arrow/fire ball. Do medals counts towards the score ?

Yup, same here, I have a scheduled project to start next week, so I don't know how much time I could spend playing.

I also made a stupid mistake:

It's not the first mistake I've made. I remember in KBTL I'm already in the dwarven mines, about to go to Ellinia, when someone mentioned to me that losses in the training battles counted as actual losses in the record. Being a no-loss attempt, I had to re-do that from the start.

As for your question, stuff like no-loss, the level of the medals, the level of the pet dragon, these don't affect the score, but are nice goals to target anyways.

Don't mind if I sidetrack a bit....
I was worried earlier that I will not hit my fire mage medal as I need like was like 200 more at about level 25ish or something....

So I when I thought of getting Imp I can get a bonus. 2 fire balls charges, phantom and phantom

So easily hit 50 per battle with L3 high magic.

Unfortunately No.

Havent' found a reason for that though....

Anyone noticed it ?

That's probably because leveling the medal doesn't include unit abilities, only spells cast. In any case, Fire Mage is one of the hardest medals to raise, so don't worry too much about it.

Nah, I wouldn't say it's especially hard, what with higher magic. That's 6 rounds times 2 fire spells + 4 more rounds = 16 casts per battle. You just have to stall the battles often, and that can get tedious.

Well, I think that's what he meant. All the 'cast a spell' medals just require you casting a lot of spells. But the Fire one requires a LOT more than the others. It is tedious and annoying to get.

[Metathron]

Well, I kinda disagree. In my experience, the guardian angel one is rather tedious to get depending on the units you use of course; as for the fire mage medal, I usually raise a huge chunk of it just by casting spells "the natural way", i.e. not by artificially prolonging battles, since in my opinion spells like fire arrow and fireball are a mage's weapon of choice from the get go.

Guardian Medal is not too bad. Just Start in Debir with 3 Arcmages split. You can easily get 15~20 casts in per battle and have the medal by the time you finish Bolo!
