I really dislike no loss in WotN because in early game there is only one strategy... save and load. I quit my impossible game and start again on normal without using load at all.

will do soon;)
not much time atm

Another way is to just artifically impose restrictions on yourself regarding skill usage or unit usage.

Or, to find a way to speed run through the game (map the optimal path).

Another is to use a much smaller army and/or restrict yourself to only one type ala impy's solo black dragon challenges.

After first island i thought this game will be really super challenging but i hardly can finish it atm, due to it being super easy mode, im playing 3-4 fights/ day to not get bored.
What would be cool is challenge mode, very limited resources - u work with what u get, story mode for this could be nonexistent aslong as fights are awesome. Boss fights should implement WAY more mechanics, i mean there is plenty to do here. Boss could have diffrent resistances that switch per round, or healr itself if u dont do certain type of dmg, counterattack in even rounds and cast magic in uneven rounds, spawn diffrent type of adds, that lets say 1of3 heals u on attack, other 2 apply diffrent debuff, terrain exploding if u stay in one place for 3 , other forms of terrain alternations, like blocking off melee units, mechanics with shields that have diffrent effects if u burst them they explode or heal boss so u haev to stop doing dmg in this round. THere are unlimited ideas for awesome boss fights with complex mechanics. In this challenge mode you would have to fight with fixed spells/units to certain degree, and they would change every 10 battles or smth like that. You would have to make decision if u want to get more troops or upgrade skills, runes would come from gold mostly, items and spells also increased in price so every upgrade should be well thought out decision. Well i would love smth like challenge mode in this game.

I agree with this. I've always wanted someone to finish the game with just Peasants.

Yeah, it was somewhat disappointing to find out that they do not affect gameplay in any way. They could have thought of something here (like a discount for viking units after defeating the undead spider, because you are well known for this feat).

@Nevar: A playthrough with just peasants sounds hilarious. But I guess with soothsayer and timeless + big number of buffs (as soon as timeless is patched to actually work) this should work fine, as soon as you get the good spells. But it sounds extremely boring.

True, I expect the player would get bored at some point. Would be hilarious for a while, though.

I agree with restrictions but restricting time in a game is most def. not the way for me. The fact that their point system at end is based off of time just baffles me. WTF wants to rush through a game they paid for and get it over fast? I wont get started on this since i already made a post on it.

But I agree we could make restrictions to other parts of the game.

@ckdamascus
But in AP/CW any1 could make interesting runs because you could kite around and decide : OK now i only use archer units (for 100% crit play) , or i use only stack of black dragons and see how far i can get . . . Here there is no kiting, and by time you get to peasants/black dragons or any other unit picks almost half game is already done. Why would then players chose to go some particular run after all that time.

@gunnyhighway
Here is one problem i wonder about for long time. Why make so limiting end game score in game with so much choices ? Time (in DAYS) , hero lvl and quests finished , WTF why not calculate time in hours passed not round it in whole days , no regard to rage lvl`s , or to amount of dmg dealt with units/rage/spells (warrior get bonus in score for more dmg with rage , paladin for dmg by units , mage for dmg by spells or something). This version of end game score is to simplified and constricted for game of this randomness.
End screen shows bunch of different information, and take in consideration for score only 3. And this is kept since theLegend, very bad politics.

There are no fights post-4 islands that are threats to no-loss. As soon as you have Rune Mages and Paladins (or Inquistors, but that's slower), you have infinite Ressurects that require no mana or rage. As long as a stack doesn't get completely destroyed, you can bring them back up, it's just a slow process.

The problem the OP is having is that he's exploiting the system and then claiming not enough challenge. Ok, fine, stop exploiting the system. Fight the Spider Boss the normal way, for example, rather than trying (and succeeding) to figure out a way to stop the spider summons.
