Discrepancies to point out

I'd agree with the sentiments that traps should be for units killed, or number of groups stopped, or something sensible.

But something is just not right with the whole process. My games consist of walling of a unit and berzerking him 10x in a row each battle. I then move on to stone skin 10x in a row. I use inquisitors and phantom to summon endless rage to level my dragon. And I dig three chests every battle. And I wall off, sleep, whatever the enemy each battle until I get that done. I've used 3000 rage now in 9 battles. I wouldn't call that fun... but the game heavily rewards such play.

I head into each battle not with the intention to decimate the enemy as best I can, but rather to tick off as many medal check boxes as I can, and to lvl my dragon as much as possible.

In an ideal game I shouldn't have to choose between fun or making the most out of my character. That's what mmorpgs are for.

I do actually agree to a certain extent, also after kiting pretty die-hard in my impossible paladin without losses game I just wish kiting chart guardians wasnt an option.
It's simply too tempting to do if you cba with it, especially if you want to play without losses, either for the medal or the whole game.
I'm now back at debir without having killed anything there ( think ive had like 4 battles ) on a lvl 16 paladin with 54xx leadership and 3 archdemon, 2 tirex, 24 paladins etc. and fully stuffed with items, just spamming spells and such to gain more medals pretty much like your said, can't say it's much fun really.

It is normal to feel like that in the beginning - I did too in my current game. Wait will you get to the boss battles, castle sieges, and the tougher heroes that spam geyser like crazy. It is in those battles where a no-loss game is decided.
