Challenge: 99 Turns

[Davek]

Just finished a game with Harad. At Turn 99:

- Largest city: 19.152 in Hyarmen
- Highest income(of a single city): 2764 in Hyarmen
- Regions under control: 38
- Annihilated enemies: 1 (Gondor)
- Victory(Short Campaign): yes.

Gondor still has one general escorted by two regiment with in total around 25 soldiers, these were the last remains of the rebel horde, but they disappeared into the dessert of south Harad. Gondor made its last stand with a (scripted) army that carried out a navel invasion and captured a town in south Harad.

Wow guys, those are some really nice stats for a campaign. The 36'000 people in Thranduil's Halls are just insane! In just 99 turns? Very impressive.

I put all your cool campaign-stats in the first post. We even have multiple people going for the SylvanElves highscore, nice.

[Finkeren]

Impressive results indeed. I have no ambition to ever start playing VH/VH, and I certainly wouldn't be able to achieve these results.

Dwarves

- Largest City: Erebor About 20'000
- Highest Income: Erebor 2500
- Regions under control 38
- Annihilated enemies: 3 (OoG, OoTMM and Rhun) Steam rolled Rhun they didnt stand a chance
- Victory (Long Campaign) No

[VlaDeatHell]

Not so hard to achieve, abuse AI stupidity and develop your governors smart. There is a guide for training governors somewhere in the guides section, I recommend it to everyone. Despite me being around since Shogun TW I still learned couple of really useful things there.

There it is: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...on-60-Complete

It might be a good idea to show a screenshot as proof whenever you break someone else's highscore. To catch 38 regions with dwarves in 99 turns is quite a deal!

[kirky1337]

Forgot to add i have the divde and conquer map, 38 towns isnt that hard if you rush all the rebel settlements, Rhun isnt strong during the first 40 turns there units are rubbish compaired to the dwarfs. Both the orcs are easy to beat back aswell if the high elves and free peoples help take them out, cant do a screen shot as i have carried on my dwarf campaign

[Loki_999]

I probably got that many or more playing as Dwarves in 99 turns, although i do play on M/M, so not the same challenge as VH/VH.

And what I myself find important: both east and west osgiliath are almost rdy to be rebuilt

edit: 228 battles won 76 lost
edit 2: at 99 turns now. Edited everything that needed editing. Also added the print screen (I don't have the program to alter .tga)
Edit 3: seems I can't add the tga... weird... If someone needs proof of this i'll just upload my savegame (i'll keep one at turn 99)

[manekemaan]

updated ^^ could the first post be updated as wel?

[Shingen]

You have to convent TGA to jpeg or png to upload the screenshot.
An easiery way is to press ALT+PRINT and paste the screenshot into an graphics editing program.

I PMed the thread starter several days ago (email notification) but nothing happend until now.

[manekemaan]

i'll give that a try right now.


edit: it didn't work, I got a print screen from what was happening behind the game (my browser)

Tomorrow, I'll see if I can find the details.

[Bowmaster]

I feel like a noob watching these stats.

[Flinn]

I feel like a noob watching these stats.

not everybody is focused on lore-like games as we do, my friend

I'm rather puzzled at some of the results in particular that are reported here, anyway it all depends on play stile I think, if I would spend my time only to exploit game mechanics I'm convinced I can do the same, but it would take too much time, so cheating is probably the best way

this is not a rewarded competition, so I will take the things as they are, but maybe to see some screen or some account on how things reached the actual spot would be great, there is always something new to learn!!
