super ultimate challenge

Well, time is only calculated meaningfully when you travel from island to island. And even when on an island, you can press space bar to pause. So just do that before leaving it on all night...

right, job done.

See screen shots attached, all conditions met plus, as i said earlier, I could not find time back spell, eventually very late in the game, so i played game without it.
I also include savegame after defeating Baal, if someone does not believe it can be done without pet dragon, target, time back. I cannot prove no map kitting + no wanderer scrolls, you just have to believe me

Great work impy You've proven a very strong point that the pet dragon isn't exactly everything for a warrior, as well as that the game can be won by conventional means and the black knights isn't exactly the most important thing, as well as the target spell. I also like your army setup (judging by the troop damage) - it's good, it's flexible, it's versatile.

How is your score only 395? I thought the minimum score for Impossible would have to be 404 (100, + 1 for days completed, all multiplied by 4 for difficulty). Even then you should have some amount of additional points for quests completed and level's gained. Hmm.

Edit: Nevermind, I got the math order wrong. Your 'days' number is only multiplied by difficulty level, not the 100 base, so: (100 + (1*4) ) * (100+ 54*2 + 86*2)/100 = 395.2

Score is so low, because time was not the issue. But if you really want to know the truth, I've had problems with PC lately, so i never turn it off untill i find time to format it etc. So I left pc and kbap running for days
I liked the Dobrev idea in another post running with single black dragon for as long as you could, so i give it try.
Interesting thing i noticed in my quest was usefulness of snakes, one usually dumps them later in the game. But since i had to heavily concentrate on defence, and they usually just bite and run away i was ok, only dumped them for baal fight.
Also suprisingly, no target throughout the game was not a problem either. Due to high def again, and paladins+inq. sword i was ok. having summoned griffins, thorns, demons and extra clone on griffins+summon kept the opponents busy.

Reason to leave pet dragon on 1 lvl ?
You dont need to make dmg with it, use treasure searcher, egg, wall and mana regen for lvl`ing it, but you still odnt make any dmg scorewise. Just saing warrior isnt all aout rage and drgon, but it is needed for less tedious battles with no mana regen, and faster lvling for treasure searcher medal ( 7% more exp )

Why do people run marathons?
Surely running just 5miles would be tiring and chllenging enough?

Thing is, after playing kbap for few times the initial excitement starts to disappear. People look for other ways to entertain themselves - high score, quickest way to finish the game, interesting setups, or in my case more challenging environment. Since pet dragon is strong weapon in hands of warrior character it was challenging to play without it (just like for example playing with mage without casting offensive spells)
Besides,if you use pet dragon and inevitably gain levels, how you are going to prove to community you have not used it offensively? Clean cut..

To `impy` you put 2 things in opposite to yourself in tread name :
5) no pet dragon usage throughout the game. He stays at level 1.
And later in same post you type :
Do not get tempted to buy much else than creatures, you will not have dragon for digging. I was running around with training buckler & sword until 15 level.
How can you leave pet dragon on 1 lvl , if you use him (or her, i`m not sure) for diging for chests +7% more xp medal. Dragon will get some exp form if for sure, therefore geting lvls.
I agree that game can get tedious after couple time playing it, trying diferent tactics can get chalanging for some time. But this ultimate chalange simply contradicts itself.
How about this then , ultimate chalange.
Rules : 1) Use only peasents
2) no more rules . . .
Game makers made diferences between warrior and mage in pet dragon/magic. Playing warrior and not using dragon seems pointles to me, but that`s just my oppinion.
I hope they`ll make some kind of multiplayer for this awsome game, or at least something similar, cause AI just isnt interesting. Anyway play for fun ppl
