Orcs on the March - high score/highlights/combat statistics

[ckdamascus]

The only thing that bothers me is that you used "The Destroyer"... I used that nickname too! Haha.

Sorry for that

A fourth attempt it doesn't seems to be needed. 1060 is the magic number.
I don't get exp anymore. So it's official.
Max level in game , 1060 .

If I had to guess, he modified the .kfs or whatever files to give more XP.

I replayed my Mage Summoner build, this time using Demonologists to help out.

I dropped red dragons from the mix and only used one to help me out. I couldn't get the Emerald Dragon because I didn't have enough leadership to carry all 50/50/50 guys in one shot.

Black Dragons, Rune Mages, Demonologists were the primary mix. Later on, I would throw in Black Knights to help me with Ktahu, Baal, and the first round of the Arena of Death. Very early game, I used Engineers as well.

Surprisingly, I was able to beat my old score and do it with zero losses.

Some highlights

- beat Hagni the first time around, so I can speed up travel later and get the treasure on Umkas
- used Archmage Skill to great success with the new 1.3.1 Rune Mages
- used Slow more effectively
- freed the Skull of Pain, achieving a much higher intellect rating
- Used Holy Anger level 3 (Mind Tree) for once... wow it is a great skill
- Killed Gremlion with Death Star
- Killed Baal with Black Hole (still used Black Knights for easier recovery though)
- 9 Days to win, down from 14!
- I avoided Ogres the first time around, but later on, my Dragon of Chaos was able to tank them.

I don't think the way I play, I could achieve 7 days. Mostly because my build requires me to go to Verona fairly early to get the Call Phoenix scroll, then go back to sweep everything. I can probably drop it to 8 days, but it seems like a lot of work.

I would have to not dilly dally as much while on Montero's Caves and possibly kill some enemies at lower levels as well.

It is a little strange beating Ktahu so early on though. In a weird way, it makes everything else seem so much easier in the second half of the game, which is somewhat fun.

I used mostly Summons. Occasionally, some battles I would do Summons + mega debuffs.

I mean, no real point in achieving a godly army if you can't really use it, right?

Yea - but I want to know where the 93'rd quest came from

btw in my no loss games i was able to reach level 61 (though only 92 quests in each). The big problem is my days play tend to be around 18.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. It has to do with the order of how I do the quests, which seems to be related to the "quasi-speed" run since I have gotten 92 quests before, and 93 quests.

The speed run forces you to engage in certain battles a bit early, so you need a very "overpowered" strategy.

For me to hit higher level, I would need to keep all my "experience items" equipped. It isn't so much that I couldn't do it, I just don't want to do it.

I love having a lot of intellect or doing nearly maximum damage, etc. Not to mention, I also need to farm for Ancient Knowledge scrolls, which to me, is brain numbing since I would have to save/reload a lot.

Yeah, the second half of the game forces a lot of travel time and makes those last few days jump up like nuts.
