My attempt at getting the highest score

So I've started back just before bolo, getting repair bots there and working my way through again. So far it's a heck of a lot easier!

I'm glad you have decided to replay the game to go for a day 7 finish; to be honest, I don't think you would have gotten a higher score than unicornxp had you continued and finished the game in 8 days and level 60.

With level 3 heal for the dragons, this army can recover fairly easily from hideous casualties. I'm beginning to think that vamps are superior to black knights at the start, as they usually don't need an eviln to recover. Against undead, you do need eviln though. And vamps damage isn't great, but against most creatures they seem to hold out, maintaining there level and slowly kill the mob. Back doing Verona atm.

You are correct that black knights require Eviln support each and every time you decide to engage the enemy with them, and that is why for most of the regular fights, even most hero battles, I just let them sit back and relax at the back lines. But this is only because it is a lot easier to spam Phantom bone dragons (EGDs in your case) to take out the opposing army.

I don't know how it goes for the mage class, but you might miss their firepower during tough fights, like boss battles. Their 30% base physical resistance helps a lot too. Do keep us posted on how your battle with the Driller/Zilgadis/K'tahu pans out.

I'm at Uzala atm, but I've also started on a 2 month project at work (finished by early/mid-May) so it would be slow-going for me again.
