My Dream Team

[Sarisin]

How's this for a starting team:

Shadow - 1,250 XP
Shadow - 1,227 XP
Shadow - 1,125 XP
Volanna - 702 XP (Volanna is a Beastmaster Adventurer Hero)
Beastmaster - 461 XP
Shadow - 454 XP

OK, XP isn't everything, but I think I will send these guys to the next Olympics, or Arena, or somewhere.

Honestly, I have another 6 with well over 100 XP. I have never played a FFH2 game with so much combat - just the way I like it.

PS. All this fighting and I won a Cultural Victory!

Holy crap. I've never played beyond turn 250 or so! I imagine a lot of >99.9% odds were seen.

Turn 900 geez! What gamespeed?

Epic speed. It is the same game I was talking about in the Super Stacks thread.

I got a Cultural Victory the next turn. I was third in points, but you gotta love the old Ardor-Regained Birthright-Ardor trifecta. Lots of Bards and culture to put me over the top.

I have to admit, though, the game got really tedious the last 100 or so turns as it was taking at least 3 minutes between turns and I was getting the occasional memory allocation crash.

I don't think I will ever rack up XP numbers like these again. It was just one of those games...

As to the 99.9% odds, yes (not greater than 99.9%, though, as I don't think it is possible anymore). 3 of the 4 Shadows were HN and you really have to be careful with them as they seem to take on a lot of damage with a lot of time to heal. Still, even at 99.9% odds I was getting damage to heal time of 8 turns. One thing I've learned to avoid is combat with Assassins. The combination of Poison Damage with Regular Damage gets you heal times in double digits of turns.

I did have the Shrine of Sirona and that helped too.

Oh yeah, the total game time was listed as 38 hours, but I often have the game going and take breaks to do other things. Still, Epic speed games can require a significant time investment on your part, not to mention Marathon.

Wow, what speed do you play on? I use normal speed and rarely finish before turn 400. Do you even have any of the cool units researched by 250?

Awww, no super hero immortals. It takes you through a long and nearly pointless religious route but they are so cool.
