If it's the latter then what's the point? There's plenty there to choose from but if they were created for that purpose, why are there none for achieving a no loss run?
If i make it through 50 battles without using magic, or it's counterpart rage, what do i get?
Seriously folks, these achievements that need to be grinded and your playstyle radically gimped to get, have the same feeling as medals without rewards.....
Why didn't they just expand the medals panel?

Anyone else got thoughts on this?

A lot of games have achievements for the sake of achievements like on the Playstation Network. That's the way it has always been as far as I know.

I don't see it as a major grind. Obviously some are easier to achieve than others, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

I got the 50 battles without magic easily because i'm a Viking/Warrior. I didn't HAVE any spells to cast! Haha.

The 50 battles without rage is semi-easy too since I am at the stage where I can easily kill without rage.

The hard ones are blitzing bosses in 15 rounds in Impossible mode.... especially if one is going for no-loss. But no-loss isn't a big deal now that gol and units are far more plentiful.

Anyway, do it in good fun. Don't kill yourself over the achievements. As a Warrior/Viking, I'm not going to do the "do 1M dmg with spellbook" achievement.
