Brazil, America, Mapuche, Russia, Cree, Spain

I recently had a game where I think I got my most impressive hero ever and it wasn't even a Champion. 

This was Fang and actually what was really good was I had a combo of Fang and Shin Bo, both with excellent items.

I was playing Life and Chaos (2 Chaos books for Hell Hounds to start), but I went on a crusade busting encounters in Myrror and got some really good loot.

I had Fang with Super Might and Luck. I'd rather have had Constitution or Agility than Super Might, but hey. On Fang I had the Helm of Trollish Might (Has Regeneration and +3 attack and other stuff), and I think it's the first time I ever got that. He also had a Plate Mail with Magic Immunity and a Sword with a bunch of attack (had Flaming) and +hit. Fang had 7 Movement. 

Shin Bo had a Shield with Wraith Form and some powerful weapon, a Mace I think, with Haste on it and some ring with True Sight and other attack and movement, etc. He had 5 movement but due to Haste and Wraithform he could move double on the map and in combat, so really 10 movement, but I kept with paired with Fang much of the time. 

I ended up just basically stopping all my other stacks and doing everything with these two for the heck of it. I also had Warlord and cast Crusade.

I had other good heroes too, but these two were over the top. If Fang ever did get in trouble or die invisible Shin Bo would be able to win it, but I also had Resurrection and Raise Dead anyway. 

I've had really powerful Champions of course and basically un-killable heroes with Runemaster + Artificer, but I think this might have been the most powerful straight up heroes I've gotten with all just treasure gear and not counting Champions. I did switch their armor for a bit when I went against Freya to prevent her from Webbing Fang, and she couldn't see Shino Bo so she never Webbed him anyway.

Oh, and how I ended up getting so much insane loot was I had two stacks that took all the most powerful encounters. I took one that had I think 8 Sky Drakes and a Storm Giant and several with multiple Great Worms and such. All were taken with either a stack of Adamantium Slingers with Lionheart and Flame Blade or Adamantium Berserkers with Lionheart and Flame Blade (not ever single unit, just usually 2 or 3 with the buffs). I think the big Sky Drake node was done using the Berserkers. After doing like 4 or 5 such encounters back to back I had insane loot, including many of these items.

What crazy heroes have you had?

Hello, i've downloaded the patch, unzipped it to the game folder and tried to run it on dosbox 0.74.

So I got 11th book from treasure...?

edit: spell costs seem to have gone down another 6%

So an Island Plates map it is. Last time I rolled an island Plates map for PBEM 4 it took a long time to find one that was split evenly between 5 continents. I may resort to massaging the base script a bit if I don’t find anything in a reasonable amount of time. I’m hopeful that I can spend a half hour of so rolling this evening and see what I come up with.

Would something like this be useful to you?

Rarity (the spellbooks)

First time in ages I have played. Took a few quick starts just to recall enough of the interface to start this game.

I played different, going with pods to show what they do.

Opening post.

As the good Winston Churchill is claimed to have said, I intend to use my previous failures as a learning experience this game. 

I intend to play England.
