Third and last dead !

[Loudhy]

My third game on expert difficulty endet with bad luck in Trynton yesterday. I wanted to reach Nessie that weekend but ......

After I had no time to play for some days I started saturday to finish Trynton -but Trynton finished me.

I nearly reached the zoo when I saw some widowmaker spiders. I know these guys, they nearly destroyed my party in an earlier game. So I decided to retreat back to the first house ( where those 2 giant spiders were ). The widowmakers moved in the same direction.
When I just ran through the tree a second group of widowmakers came from the other side. Combat mode kicked in and because they were very fast they blocked my way to hide myself somewhere in a corner for a better combat.
And there I stood : 2 groups with 3 widowmakers each. One in the front and one in the back. After the first combat round all members were webbed. You can imagine what happens next.

That's it . W8 will rest for a while now because I got W&W and I starded my first party after I managed to remove my frustration about my third destruction. I am sure I'll return because I want to win on expert ( It must be possible ! ) but for the next months I'll play W&W & Civ3Conquest only.

Well, maybe you should try with 4 characters next time.

X-ray would have warned you that there's something in your back. But your bishop surely had no level 4 mage spells.

That's bad luck though...2 tough groups to run into.

Since I started games on expert I always had bad luck [img]smile.gif[/img]

1: Killed by Brekek (mostly swallowed)
2: Killed by Battering Hogar in Trynton ( he followed me to the first ladder in the tree)
3: Killed by 2 groups of widowmakers.
4 : I was nearly destrow by some oak elders ( could escape with 4 dead characters )

2-4 happed in Trynton . If I restart W8 again after I finished W&W, I'll do not enter Trynton until my party has lvl 14 after the first T'Rang and Umpani quests

Sounds like a good plan that...Good luck with W&W!

Loudhy, Is W&W turn based or anything like the Baldurs gate engine? I just picked up UFO Aftermath which lets you pause and issue orders like Baldurs gate. I keep hearing about W&W as being a great game but I don't do the RTS thing.

Sorry, Nightwing. I don't have much time so for now maybe this link helps.

Avoid battering hogars (and picusses). They aren't hostile as long as you stay away.

In my experience, Trynton is no problem if you have a level 9 mage or bishop (elemental shield, x-ray, offensive power). With a group of hybrids, it is more dangerous.
