KBDS Normal/Hard/Impossible No-loss thread

[Zhuangzi]

Thanks to both of you for the help. After MUCH stuffing around I finally have the scanner working on the five save files I created. Sadly, 3 seem to give gold, 1 Cold Grasp, and 1 spell_reaction, whatever that is? No Evil Book or Kamikaze. So if either of you wants to PM me a savefile with either or both of those spells in the Ore Cart, that would be much appreciated!

EDIT: did another 10 - 6 gave gold, 1 Fire Arrow, 1 Fireball, 1 Hunter Armor, 1 other spell which I've forgotten

I gave up and just modified the starting troops to give me two ancient vampires and two necromancers.

Praying for the perfect saved game AND enemy spawning with less than normal troops (I always had 8 elves which would one shot my vampires before I could react) is not my idea of KB fun.

It also means you are completely forced to a single or tedious path.

Just go to the original ses.kfs file, back it up, rename ses.kfs to ses.kfs.zip, extract to ses.kfs folder.

Okay, here are all the ones I've been able to generate so far:

• Ball of Lightning (really, really hard!)
• Evil Book (hard, DGDobrev also has one here)
• 2 Kamikaze's (not as hard, the first gives 2 scrolls, the second gives 4) - I haven't played either of these, yet so give them a shot!

Good luck and enjoy!

See DGDobrev's instructions here.

Thanks ck and Matt. ck - I can see why you got frustrated. We are forced to do something 'outside the box' just to make a start in 2 out of 3 races on Impossible. I love this game but I really hope we get a patch to address this severe balance issue (we probably won't).

Matt - thanks for the saves. I will have a try at Kamikaze 2 first. Cheers.

[DGDobrev]

Wowie! Matt, that sounds really awesome. Could be well, well, really well worth a try. I will give it a go sometime.

I've made a bit of a start on the Kamikaze save, haven't got far year, but I was delighted to find that I had a Frost Grasp scroll in my spellbook. I never used Frost Grasp at all on my first playthrough but I'm finding it to be superior to Poison Skull and it costs the same 5 mana.

[Zhuangzi]

Ugh, I'm stuck on this game at the same spot, having killed the Dwarven stack but not being able to get the Elven or Human. I am a few point short of Level 5 and I don't have even one point in Diversions, but I have Chaos 2 with Frost Grasp, Poison Skull and Kamikaze all at level 2.

The problem is that Kamikaze, while devastating, takes 3 turns to explode. Against the Elven stack, the Hunters (9!) one shot my Vampires, like ck said, and the Human stack isn't much better.

So I think Kamikaze is a bad spell for this fight. Back to the drawing board. I'll try Evil Book next.
