You're kidding, right?

Well, I was, but only a little

The sole Black Knights stack in a no-loss game becomes even more powerful when you slap in 20% more BK's and 2 additional morale. Otherwise, they may not last all that much in the toughest fights on impossible with only +1 morale and lesser quantity, especially when they get surrounded and there is no option to put an eviln because the bosses constantly summon units that step onto the piles of corpses the that BK's create.

Have just finished the game. As I promised, some pictures when victory

Again please, I do not boast about my success. I know my achievement is nothing compare to DGD's or Lo..'s ( the guy completed the game in 7 days, no loss, impossble. Sorry I forgot his name ^^ ). Just to prove that I am not a noob and I am serious with what I say.

Especially thanks to DGD and kcwong who shared me interesting experiences and strategies.

P/s: someone please explain for me: I am quite sure that I didn't lost any single unit but finally the system informs that my casualties are 10 ? why?

P/s2: can I say I completed the game with one stack of BK only?

First off congratulations on completing the game on impossible; and don't sell yourself short, this is a feat in and of itself. I myself did not use solo BKs since I didn't have enough info to use them consistently (Marquis of Krause taught my solo BK stack a lesson by repeatedly casting Dispel on my Stone Skin).

Regarding the 10 casualties, you must have just incurred it in one battle and failed to notice it. I know, no-loss is made even harder because you really have to be vigilant and patiently check for casualties at the end of each and every battle; and at 300+ possible battles, this is easier said than done. Sure, the no-loss medal keeps track of all of your no-loss battles, but it would have been better if it also kept track of the TOTAL battles that you have fought (thus alerting you to any battles wherein you incurred a loss). I remember finishing the fight wit Baal and praying fervently that I did not miss any casualty battles, and the final score screen shows zero for casualties.

thank you loreangelicus well I figured out the problem :-s reading somewhere in the forum, I see that they usually dismiss the very first units, which were given at the beginning of the game, and complete the training battle with 5 given paladins. Omg, I don't even think that the system counts the two training battle in the no-loss medal after creating a new game, I can see that I have 3 bowmen, 5 swordmen and 2 bears =>10 damned casualties

You can park your whole starting army in the castle, taking only the paladin stack to the training battles. When you return you will be given a new copy of the starting army, effectively doubling it.
