So yeah, wow. This is actually tricky. I tried it once or twice and kept feeling that I must be doing something wrong.

The luck of the draw here is super huge though. My first try, the first battle had a bunch of Choshas, and Gobots as the army... causing a large number of constantly spawning and powering up bad guys to deal with. Uggh.

I rather dislike the dragon usage in this. Since you don't start with any good XP granting abilities, you have a really hard time getting to 'the good stuff' with him, making it especially hard on a Warrior. Doubly so since more leadership doesn't help if you can't afford a real army.

Well, I was going to try a no loss Impossible game, but I don't see how I can do it. I thought Mage would be possible, but when you start the game you either get the first stack being the Choshas/Gobots or Demon Army/Fire Arrow. I thought it might be possible just to use both type of droids (with the medallion that reduces leadership for them) but I can't seem to keep them alive long enough for no losses.


Anyone got through this first first on Impossible without loss? I thought it would depend on initial army selections but I can't find any tough units like Trolls etc.

[axelle]

well...this is as far as i can get under impossible-no-loss-mage with only droids(no engineering badge)

the snake boss on the dock is too much for me because all the magic-damage-units that he brings...

maybe its possible if you save/load for a good game where the snake boss brings mostly physical-damage-units.

I had landed on Rhea to finish the Orc March and decided I had done this one enough. I went to the menu and selected Crown and it restarted the game?

Can't just go form one campaign to another, without restart?

[DGDobrev]

No. I guess they all use a different session file, which is loaded as the game starts.

It's not that much of a pain

[Zhuangzi]

So no losses on Impossible is currently looking uh....Impossible?

if we can obtain some really OP artifacts/scrolls through restarting.

then we will need to save/load repeatedly in the first 3 fights(merchant/2 boss) such that we obtain 3 wanderer scrolls/expensive scrolls so that we can sell them for gold and buy those OP artifacts/scrolls. and don't forget to sell those scrolls you begin the game with.

we will also need to buy some artifacts that we can upgrade (upgrade means more fight, which then means more chests which means more gold, not mentioning more experience)using invis + green dragon, or somehow abuse the night time regeneration of troll skin...

it's DEFINITELY doable, but is it even a remotely enjoyable process, i doubt it.
