Demons are cute. +2 speed and +2 spear. This game is real easy. I completed the game just by spamming spearmen/archers or a hybrid depending on the situation. And guess what? For the last map, I spammed SCOUTS lololol. :P
@Tathar: (My guess) I think this is to prevent people from "cheating" - like if they know they can't win and are going to lose (particularly for hardcore/Extreme mode), they can just reload the game and have a second attempt. Well, rogue games unfortunately have no second attempts. :P (Or it could genuinely be a bug - I don't know.)
Oh I just noticed one of the comments here that Mission 8 is to conquer the world. How intuitive. Here's a suggestion - provide the conquer-all as one mode, and the mission-based one as the other. And link all the missions so that you can't do any without first completing the preceding ones.
Geez, is there something wrong with the structure of this game? I finished Mission 1 and then... nothing. There is no continuation at all and it is as if this game is just pure mission-based. Play it mission by mission. I attempted playing the game by just attacking but it seems I just have to choose a mission. It's dumb really. I think you just insulted a favorite game of mine - the one whose name you took and use.
Btw anyone know more about dagger? It gains bonus from both dex and str... take an example: 100 points into dex OR str vs 50 points in dex and 50 points in str. Which version gives higher damage? Or are both the same?
@BillMeltsner: Thanks for clarifying. I thought otherwise because it said "melee attack" in the description and not ranged attack. From my experience with other characters and skills, melee attacks will only be performed on the first line of enemies and when you are on the front row. For instance, try equipping a mage with a melee sword, put him in the back row then use the first no-cost "magic attack" to try hit a mob. You can't. :P
