Nightmarish Problems

[Malmsey]

Ok I have to start by saying, even on the smaller maps, nightmare is just not do-able. How do you expect us to beat the difficulty when the enemy faction gets over 3k strength after 10 seconds. Then you get rushed by 2 dragons and some regular dudes which dont matter, its the 2 ♥♥♥♥ing dragons that ignite your base and incinerate everything at about the 1 minute mark that really annoys the hell out of me. Do not even put this difficulty in if you wanna do it like that because there is practically no point in trying to play that difficulty. The AI enemy is just to freaking cheap at start with a zerg that its a 0 % win chance. Whats the point?

Sorry for not adding where im getting this issue. XS Imperial Conflict, 1 AI.

It is possible to win, it takes a bit of luck and you have to play on large maps to stand a chance. It's more about trying not to die on nightmarish until you can finally collect enough materials and upgrades along the way to fight back in the end.

I've been able to beat just about anything by rushing vampires as the merchant leader, but then again vampires are broken lol.

It's beatable. I ran for my life in the begginning. I gathered what I could and moved my circle home circle to circle.

It is not beatable on a very small map (4 tiles); as they will directly attack you with 1-2 dragons after 10secs. With 9 tiles it is beatable, and everything bigger of course too.

Hi everyone, the general consensus is that it's beatable on larger maps. I'll look into ways to make it more beatable on small. Or then again, what if somebody manages to do it? Let's wait.

Nice Video, but that's Full Conquest. I believe the OP didn't state it, but that issue that was stated usually happens on the game mode Imperial Conflict. Where there is at least 1 A.I. against you that tends to start with insane amounts of resources (resulting in early dragons and steamrolling).

I've been trying to go with the strategy of me vs 2 A.I. on a 4-circle in hope that the two A.I. will attack eachother and wipe out most of the dragons. Not been so lucky thus far.

As for Full Conquest, even on the hardest difficulty it is rather simple to win by using towers and buffering melee attackers with a gate. You just need 6~8 towers minium (varies on opponent forces) to use the towers offensively.

2 dragons, 8 wizards, 2 apprentices, 10-15 archers/guardsmen and some knights... after 5 min in game, when you possibly can only build about 10 low power units. How are you supposed to have a chance to survive?

[Malmsey]

Yes I did mean super small map size of 4 tiles. You get rushed. I get rushed every single time. Also I did not do Full Conqust. Just Imperial Conflict.

ai nightmare indeed is hard but i found it rather easy on large maps just having luck the dragons dont find u that quick and using alot of towers when the dragons are dead its just an easy match

[Malmsey]

Yea I can easily beat nightmare on Full conquest because the AI hardly even attacks. They just sit there. Imperial Conflict the AI is literally out to decimate you as quickly as a player would with access to a force like that, its no joke. Not sure it is beatable at all.

I beat Impossible on my first try on XS map.

[Malmsey]

On Imperial Conflict?
