@argus:
There are different tactics in this game.
I got all brilliant @ lvl 19 and I used crypts at the last level without a problem. Just killing the ninjas with 2 of those explosive temples (first one makes the first ninja loose hp, then the second one is activated by the second ninja and kills the first ninja; and the third ninja activates the first temple again which kills the second ninja... Hardly any ninja gets through) and having crypts to kill the rest. - you need to skill demon lord-skill for this tactic and lich king-skill is useful too.
Much too easy :-(
Got all brilliant already, now aiming for the achievements.
First game was much harder...
The ninjas aren't even worth beeing called ninjas, cause they die so easily...
Why are all my murderers Pastors, Clercs or rel. fanatics?
And damn... That town needs some new higher ups... No matter if they had something to with the murdercases or not, I've found out enough to let them all disappear.
To Bzykacz comment (Feb. 26, 2011) on how strengh, armor etc. effect damages and so on:
"Decrease of damage in %"= 1,2 * ("armor" * 100) ^ (0,5)."
I just played to a pretty high level, and there it doesnt work.
I had about a 140 armor and a 40 helmet-armor, and by this calculation I shouldn't have gotten any physical damage ;-)
My 1500 average damage with 140 strengh and a 130-150 damage sword also won't work with +1 damage by strengh.
So it should be a more complex formula. I thought the armor defense was a little more linear, but didn't proof it.
Damn that was so epic just now. Too bad there is no way to save the game.
Thanks to Bzykacz for his work :-)
Hehe lvl 43 Golem cursed kills the boss monsters with just 2 hits now :-D
Too bad I can't save and play again tomorrow. Now I have to do a suicdal mission :-(
I like that the shapes of the levels change. But they are still too easy: I am half way through, but I don't need the buffs at all (only in one level, so far).
If you play for the first time just run around and let the enemys kill you. You can vary it a little like not attacking any enemy, or taking off your armor (makes you a nudist^^).
Every time you die you die you get a title. In the next life you can select up to 2 titles, which grant you a bonus.
For the better titles you need to kill some enemys off course, but the weak titles are pretty nice for a begging, so just die some times.
Rate so the new ones can read it please.
