How do you fit black knights into a full army?

In KBAP I didn't scan for these droid items as I didn't plan to take them from the get-go; I did scan for the Black Helmet and Eviln as I wanted to get Black Knights.

My KBAP unit evaluation Excel file in ZIP format attached; good thing ZIP is allowed here. As you can see, I called the repair droid "auto 1" and guard droid "auto 2" because I created this unit evaluation file even before I got my hands on KBAP.

A legend would've been nice. Like what's LPL and why are some of the numbers blue/red/bald-ed. And what does the final score stand for.

Oh my Deity, If making such a spreadsheet just for the sake of statistical analysis is your idea of limited time to play, I pray you never go on a KB binge.

Lore goes all out when he does play. He gave me a run down on the best places to use Ancient Knowledge scrolls.

I did a lot of homework when planning for my 100% Critical Ranged Warrior build. I don't know about an extensive spreadsheet though.

It is worth it when it comes together. Killing nearly every boss in Impossible in about 10 rounds (some in 4, some in 12) - No loss is what I call... fun.

After I win with my Impossible Mage build, I want to try out an Impossible Paladin build using heavy melee. Not sure if I will hit 0 losses though on that one.

And where might that be?

Buried in the thread somewhere. I just did a search for Ancient Knowledge and remembered it was in my "I got 9 AKs!" thread.

Hi ckdamascus! I actually did complete that game, and here's the link to the complete breakdown of that game:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=14756

I created that post so that other people would try for a high score too, and not be intimidated and be armed with the necessary information to actually do a pretty good run. I personally believe this is what this forum is for: to help each other do better and get more enjoyment from the game by pushing it to it's limits.

Lol, as for creating that file, remember that this was after KBTL but before the English version of KBAP was released; I had some free time to play, but no game to play. And sorry for having no legends, it was meant as a personally file. You already know DPL as damage per leadership, I thought it was not hard to decipher LPL as life per leadership. Granted, I myself don't remember what the purpose of that last unlabeled column was (something to do with representing LPL differently). The blue highlight is to tag a stat as decent enough, then blue in bold is better, then red is better than that, with red in bold as the best. Note, this is just a straight-up evaluation of damage and life, not counting other factors.

And besides, doing a no-loss high score run for a campaign as long as KBTL and KBAP takes a lot of time. So it's better to spend some time planning first and then take on the task and do a decent job, than run head-long into it and do a half-baked attempt that makes you want to do it again. Just like in real life.

Ah yes, I remember that one. Fantastic job, by the way! I gave up on going for high scores, since everyone seems to have outdone me in some way. Just having fun with the new items and units. I hate super planning that far ahead of time or saving the heroes and stuff. It is sort of fun killing heroes that are higher level than you, but I didn't want to waste the Ancient Knowledge scroll prematurely.

I've won as a warrior and mage, but I never won as a paladin though, and now I'm not sure if I should.

I forgot that for my ultimate "melee monster team" I will need three weapons, and that means I have to pick warrior since there are no armor bearers who can hold two weapons. (Drill, Battle Axe, Ogre Club).

Ah well. So much for having the rune mages get a bonus due to my resurrection skill.

I suppose with that much melee the new "counterattack" ability is more worth while. I wonder how that works.

I wonder if the game manual is wrong; they mention Goblin Rakura as an armor bearer, yet NO ONE has mentioned him yet.

Aieee... I am sucked back into this evil game again.

Yeah, 4 months is really too much fpor me to drag a game. S'why I dont play a strict no-loss game, although I accept casualties only in special cases. I figure that your score is the current highest in crossworlds? Im aiming for a score above 1550. Considering the irritating amounts of time and pre-calculation and scanning it would otherwise take, Im ok with it. Actually I havent finished crossworlds yet, so what is a good above-average score for an Impossible game there?

Wow, Canoneers have 0,07 DPL. And peasants have 0,3

Color coding was just manual highlights to point out promising values.

The last value is a susceptibility to a high attack rating monster (specifically attack rating 56). So the value is the bonus damage the enemy has against you!

In other words, the lower the better. The lower values indict a significantly better tank with normal attacks, and abilities except for dancing axes, astral attacks, and poison axes.

It uses a base attack of 56 (enemy) and applies it against the unit's defense.

Hmmm I could probably re-work and re-use this sheet. I've been on a quest for more insane winning combinations.
