Am I missing something? can some of the braggers on here be that good?

You should also note two very important factors. 1) Most of the shit in this game is random, if you get Resurrect in Darion - Awesome! - but I didn't get it until well into Elflands, nor did I get a satisfyingly large ammount of inquisitors, so I just had to deal with the losses, using strategy as the main tool to keep them at a minimum. 2) A lot of the things in this game are modable, while I'm sure that some people could have pulled it off with pure luck and effort, I'm just as sure that one could fake with it only some minor code editing skill. Not to mention you can manipulate time and numbers in dev mode.

Interesting...

The training fight with the dragon does count towards your totals, and it is completely impossible to beat it without losses as far as I know. You have to run around him and snipe the princess.

I'm not offended that you think the game can't be beaten without losses, and I hope you're not offended that I said I did it. It's just the internet there's nothing at stake.

Who cares? It's a single player game guys. And y'all want MultiPlayer.

Oh, comeon now!
We're making simple things too complicated here.
Since my early days on Internet, i learned one very simple and important fact: i can maybe 'own' a game and consider myself an 'ace', but, once i compare my results with the results other people in the world have at playing the same game, the truth is obvious: in my backyard i am maybe the king, but globally, worldwide, i might be just a pimple on a butt of an elephant.
Simply, there are talented people that can rip apart a given game much better than anyone else. No way in hell to best people like this, especially if they have tons of gaming time on their hands. Works for any game, especially multiplayer online games.
Maybe one in a million, but the millions are many, so, there you are. There are guys/girls who can cut apart a human eye, then sew it together and it will work better than before. It's just talent. And alot of free time.
Never EVER underestimate people with tons of free time on their hands

Instead of scorning people like that, i will rather sit and absorb any hint they might give me, thus making my gaming skills improve. Our OP probably acted somewhat abruptly, but i am sure noone hates the guys that managed to 'rape' KB:L. They are the exceptions, NOT the mediocre players who make 99% of the target gaming population, WE are!

Peace, and have fun!
Sorry for my English, it's not my mother's tongue, it's rather my third one

for me its hardest in beginning. with some luck on mobs and spells its gets easy or very easy from from lvl 10.

getting sacrifize,resurection,firerain for mages, good artifacts, royal snakes avaible,inqvisators avaible and so on.

i have played some games with 7 inqvisators and no royal snakes and non of the spells above on normal hehe.

i rather play on impossible with them then normal without em.

This is the best post in the whole thread. I agree.

Oh, and I was scratching my head about the Green Dragon in the Training Centre. I couldn't kill it without losing the peasants, and I was thinking 'HOW am I supposed to do this without losses?' I thought I was just stupid.

Well - you can disband the three week units (peasants, archers, or sprites, dragonflies.... and fight only with horseman and crusaders...(or whatever they are)

[Kings Bounty Hunter]

So, basically the likes of sector etc Are taking up to 20 turns (if need be) to finish a fight, then legging it too the next one

I suppose that could be possible, and then to get no losses using that time/life consuming method. That's very anal and calculated but I have no problem with that, if people like the game that much to go to those lengths. Playing the game that way sounds very stressful though ha ha

Prior to this game I was playing Sins of a Solar Empire and some of the mods being created on there are absolutely brilliant. Star Trek mods/Star Wars mods to name a few, but I moved on and ended up here

Well done guys, those of you have belittled this wonderful game by sussing it out and winning in less than 15 days gametime, I take my withered hat off to you.

I had fun every KB game i played. And yes some fights took way more than 20 rounds. And some took atleast 10 reloads to get them 'perfect'. But i guess everyone that plays different from you plays "anal".

@YENKO i like your post. Im not an extreme player and everyone has different skills in different games. And who says getting the Highscore in a game is the best way to measure skill? Everyone can define their own challenges for an example beating the game in the least Real time (i would totally lose there, because of my perfectionism) And in the end its about how much fun you have with the game nothing else.
