NO loss first island tips!

[Youpiya]

razorflame, do you think you can be more condescendant ?
Anyway.

I tried a fighter in impossible. Still no call of nature and no healing scroll.

Precisely, 30 fights are possible before ahriman.
- 27 are doable without any loss.
- The 28th (near the magic door to the shipwreck) is extremely hard (EQUAL SIZE of our troop number) but doable with luck (I tried about 15 times).
- 29th and 30th are absolutely not doable (one DEADLY with 70/70/139 skeleton fighters and 119/119 skeleton archers, other STRONG with 28/28/55 zombies, 93 skeleton archers, 3 ghosts). May be with randomization of troops, with bears it could be possible, but still...

With these 28 fights, still level 4, I had 950 on 952 xp points needed to level 5... So indeed as it is said in another topic, leveling is slower in "impossible"...
Furthermore, I came very quickly to the level 1 award "gifted warrior" which add 5% xp on battle...

I now try skald and stop searching for a no loss game if I do not succeed

One thing important that has not been said : the beserkers shield is really usefull. It double defense of vikings (+10) and beserkers (+14).

If i am not mistaken u can do 29 FIGHTS before ahriman(this including the super skeleton stack+skel archers)

26-27 are easy to do you will be level 4(unles u had some luck with a xp shrine that gives more than 50+ xp)
the other 2 (one next to runalov and one at the ramp where chest is) will give u the requirement for level 5 so beat them to get to level 5 before u meet ahriman

Next UNIT selection

my selection would consider

Soothsayers(can split vs bosses reason is they have high HP and sometimes can survive a poison skull)

Beserkers (their mad rage ability really helps alot with the criciticals) and semi decent tank for level 3

Slingers( just for extra damage from long range, since it's one of the few ranged ones) and bosses tend to blind/fear them (causing no damage)

Vikings( to help out the beserker with the mad rage ability)

axethrowers ( good ranged unit with nimble ability)

Ancient bears for sometimes to swap for the slinger for extra damage suck up or big ranged stacks

I play on impossibel and its impossibel win over Necromancer boss without any good spell. When I almost kill hims enemy him summon a new army

I have good shield some give vikings and Beserkers 100% armor and I have another good stuf but its imossibel win

well you will also have to be lucky with the LDRship amount they produce

it can vary alot between 3k-7kldrship

anything above 5k ldrship from either ahriman or uladaar is a waste of time

i mean even in 1 game where i had 1 wanderer scroll of titan sword
with skald lvl 5

(ahriman was a steamroll really easy didn't even invest in any points save for spirit of def and edda)

while uladaar

has
like

5 vampires
65 skeletons
70 skel archers
2 ancient vampires
1 ancient vampire
2 cursed ghost
7 ghost
12 decaying zombies


vs my

4 soothsayers
17 beserkers
8 axethrowers
44 slingers
and 22 vikings

first time i just had the edda song that cast random spell
(which he dispels on his units) so no damage for me
when i decimate his army with no losses to 1/3 that mofo is always casting a poison skull or ghost blade to give me at least 1-2 losses that are not ressuctable

i have almost tried any POSSIBLE combination and couldn't get pas him

then i tried using all my runes
and gues what
still not possible lol

on most of my run throughs u either get this
a VERY HARDCORE ahriman and a weak uladaar

or a weak ahriman and a HARDCORE uladaar

i really am starting to hate this game you are so RNG LUCK based
that i really don't give a crap anymore
the poor unit selection and the LUCK of RNG is total crap to get a no loss through

yes u CAN reload and restart tons of time untill u get it but it will take at least 5-6 times to even get past the first boss
and right after the second

that will consume hours of play not really my taste of play I don't mind a challenge but this is WAAAAAAY overdone

really bad writing IMHO

Hello. I managed to kill Ahriman and the necromancer in the cave without losses. But I have serious trouble with Eric. He has the poison skull magic and kills something every time he casts it even though he has only 2 intelligence. He casts it several times during the battle so there is no way to resurrect the casualties. I don't have a nature call scroll, only 2/3 soothsayers, one healing scroll and some other offensive scrolls. I'm playing a Viking class. Any ideas?

[Razorflame]

ok sorry for the late reply
i'm more on steam ussually

but give me some info on the invested skills u have
how much runes u have left and what sort of army are you using?
