Trying to play allowing losses is horrible

[gunnyhighway]

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

Really? How, man? I used to get literally milions of gold on impossible by the end of the game. I don't remember ever struggling with gold.

If that's the case, they sure made a very poor job. Even the spider can be no loss, and he is the hardest fight in the game.

Well I am scrapping the skald he is just waaaay too easy. I think I will try Viking and try to accept "minimal" losses while focusing heavy on attack defense and not much on magic.

I would love too find a way to make some of the ranged units not feel so worthless. I just feel like hunters and archers just dont feel worth it in my army compared to many better melee units.

I often finish AP with around 1 - 1,5m, but the time I can fight stack in Verona I have only 100k, not enough to fill my army with Knight and Horseman.

It's obvious that you haven't finish the game. Many Heroes and boss at the end spam AOE like Geyser, Armageddon, Ice Snake, Heat Focus. There are a few of them use Hypnosis.

And even worse for mage, who need to buy and destroy every piece of equipment just to have enough crystals

My point? Well, the OP state that the no-loss community ruin his gaming experience, so I want to explain a bit. First, in AP playing no loss is almost a must to progress at least in early game. This wasn't just for fun or challenging, it's a requirement. And this was when people talking so much about no-loss game. Also running back and forth between island to replenish troops is no fun. So the no-loss concept was somehow forced on us.

It seems the developers read the forum and feel insulted when people show off that they beat Impossible no-loss and in 7 days or so, I don't remember exactly. So they design WOTN so frustrating for anyone to play no-loss, everyone can beat Impossible but go for no-loss is painful. There are also a lot of money so people will forget about it and just play normally. Well, you can even try army of Gray Wolf, Hyena, Thorn and Dragonfly if you want to have some fun.
