super ultimate challenge

[ivra]

impy! If you can achive this it would be some achivement!!! It seems to me that you are doing good so far.

I am currently trying to do a no-loss impossible mage that uses as few days as possible, hopefully no more than 7 days. That is hard enough for me... Personally I agree with Zechnophobe that your challange takes away some of the fun of the game. I like digging for treasures, and I like level 5 units. I like doing massive damage with the pet, like Fiery Phantoms against dragons and Ball of Lightning against huge enemy stacks.

thanks for the feedback boys.
I actually unintentionally rasied the difficulty for myself, since i am level 39, all maps opened, cannot find time back spell. I guess paladins with inquisitor sword and summoning III at 69% will have to do for now. Well, opponents are really hitting a wall, since I have 39 defence + 12% resist all.
I was originally waiting for Disciples 3, when KBAP came and i love this game. I was looking for the ways to make it harder. Normally, middle game gets easy, we all know that. My battles are still challenging and I have to think about nearly every single one and keep changing setup.
Time limit is not for me. I once forgot to turn the PC off, came back from work next day, and it was day 50. Besides, i am 31, so i would probably have an heart attack going for time limit challenge

Well, time is only calculated meaningfully when you travel from island to island. And even when on an island, you can press space bar to pause. So just do that before leaving it on all night...

right, job done.

See screen shots attached, all conditions met plus, as i said earlier, I could not find time back spell, eventually very late in the game, so i played game without it.
I also include savegame after defeating Baal, if someone does not believe it can be done without pet dragon, target, time back. I cannot prove no map kitting + no wanderer scrolls, you just have to believe me

Great work impy You've proven a very strong point that the pet dragon isn't exactly everything for a warrior, as well as that the game can be won by conventional means and the black knights isn't exactly the most important thing, as well as the target spell. I also like your army setup (judging by the troop damage) - it's good, it's flexible, it's versatile.

How is your score only 395? I thought the minimum score for Impossible would have to be 404 (100, + 1 for days completed, all multiplied by 4 for difficulty). Even then you should have some amount of additional points for quests completed and level's gained. Hmm.

Edit: Nevermind, I got the math order wrong. Your 'days' number is only multiplied by difficulty level, not the 100 base, so: (100 + (1*4) ) * (100+ 54*2 + 86*2)/100 = 395.2

Score is so low, because time was not the issue. But if you really want to know the truth, I've had problems with PC lately, so i never turn it off untill i find time to format it etc. So I left pc and kbap running for days
I liked the Dobrev idea in another post running with single black dragon for as long as you could, so i give it try.
Interesting thing i noticed in my quest was usefulness of snakes, one usually dumps them later in the game. But since i had to heavily concentrate on defence, and they usually just bite and run away i was ok, only dumped them for baal fight.
Also suprisingly, no target throughout the game was not a problem either. Due to high def again, and paladins+inq. sword i was ok. having summoned griffins, thorns, demons and extra clone on griffins+summon kept the opponents busy.

Reason to leave pet dragon on 1 lvl ?
You dont need to make dmg with it, use treasure searcher, egg, wall and mana regen for lvl`ing it, but you still odnt make any dmg scorewise. Just saing warrior isnt all aout rage and drgon, but it is needed for less tedious battles with no mana regen, and faster lvling for treasure searcher medal ( 7% more exp )
