Trying to play allowing losses is horrible

Did you complete impossible as soothsayer ? I'm playing it right now and got stuck few times (spider, Zalnaron, now undead invasion). I heard skald have a super easy playthrough. I agree that game should have more balanced difficulties and classes.

Same here, playing as a soothsayer and having not an easy time at all.
Certainly hard with the no loss approuch.

Well, if the game is possible to finish without losses it is quite obvious that it can't be very hard to play otherwise.

If players keep insisting that they want a game that can be finished without losses, developers won't make the game so difficult.

Personally I think instead of worrying about losses in a battle, a player should worry about winning a battle.

I totally agree. I wish they would make it so difficult that this no loss nonsense goes right out the window.

After all its war stuff must die!!!!

Partially agree, but in this case the game need much larger reserve. I simply dont have fun when I'm forced to visit 3-5 maps to replenish army after every battle

In my current playthrough, I had 4 fights with massive losses and a few with minor ones. But those no loss battles against deadly to invincible enemies I had to kill were challenging indeed and required different approach.

Skipping ahead zones perhaps can help make it a little more challenging but then your forced to go back and clean up more boring fights

I agree that resupplying armies would require redesign in that case.

Yea soothsayer thus probably why Skald is making this feel too easy. Spider boss I was fortunate enough to figure out that you can cover the entire battlefield with ice fragments and spiders cant fall from sky thus no adds :]


Worst part of it all is I tell myself, "self, we are gonna take losses this time and we are just gonna enjoy the game." But I simply feel my hands reaching for escape key on 1 death to reload. I want to play with losses but this community kinda ruined the game with this no-loss nonsense and I bought right into it. Now I feel there is no going back lol.

This thread's name should have been "Playing the game without caring about losing units is horribly easy".

Because I don't think anybody is trying to lose units...

I agree that the game is super easy. With the exception of the Boss Spider of course, which is a quite imbalanced fight especially with Mage.

I think the no-loss concept exist back in the days of the TL. But I didnt care about it until AP with the medal which increase leadership for no loss, and money in AP/CW were very tight, I must minimize loss to save some money for items.

It seems the developer design the game against no-loss. There is plenty of money, enemy heroes spam AOE with secondary effect just to make you take some loss
