Defender of the Crown Challenge!

[axelle]

another impossible-no loss game i completed this morning.

yes i only got to level 26. however, i managed to beat the entire game with pretty much just one ogre!!!

some upgrade fights went like this: mage cast magic shield on ogre. ogre's turn, cast peacefulness + armageddon, and all 5 gremlin towers get instantly killed haha!

so after discovering this strategy, i realized that I can simply abuse undead unit + death star (it hurts the gremlin towers i hope? anyone c/d?), as long as i have a few experience-heavy level 4~5 upgrades, i will be able to hit level 30 easily!!!

What spell is magic shield not sure I've heard of or seen that before.

archmage ability ;p

But his mage cast it ? Is this unique to defender of the crown (I'm playing orc campaign).

It's present in any campaign who has archmagi in it.

As for the challenge, it's interesting. I'm currently slowly doing OOTM campaign (not much time) but I may jump on this as well.

Then his mage did not cast it; his npc did.

What npc?!

I have never seen anything other than the archmage unit to cast the Magic Shield ability (this is why it is ability, not a spell). Unless anythng has changed, things should be exactly the same.

Maybe if someone has seen something similar, he/she'll jump in and say something on the matter

Ummm... I don't think that's an Ogre you used there axelle.

I was also wondering how the archmage survives the armaggedon, and the answer I assume is, of course it doesn't; you resurrect it afterwards. I think for the level 30+ game 4 AK scrolls plus a bunch of upgradeable artifacts is necessary.

1 AK is enough to hit level 30.

if you fight five level 4~5 suppression, each fight will yield close to 20k experience. and 5 of them already put you at 100k experience which is level 28

the rest all combined will be more than enough for 2 levels.

but of course the more AK the merrier! but any AK on the first island probably won't be bought because you need money to buy lots of artifacts that you will suppress later!
