Has anyone have ever won that quest as a hero?I am playing campaign for a second time now. For the first time we didn't end it because my spouse was losing every single quest. She is not a bad player. She wins with me in most games. We were playing 2 player game with me as Overlord and she as 2 heroes: dwarf berserker and loric Rune Master. It was a disaster. We were frustrated.
So I' ve read some post on bgg. The guidelines were:
- no dwarf because he is too slow if you play only 2 heroes
- must have a healer
- the best way to play 2 player game is with 4 heroes (that i didn't do)
- use fatigue to move
Then the guy in board game shop have told me this game is not about fighting monsters but running. Don't fight just run for the objectives, he said. And so I did.
Now we are playing second time. Now I play 2 heroes. I have Widow as necromancer and Ashrian as Spiritspeaker. Both heroes has nice items like shields, + life, + 1 fatigue, new weapon for Ashrian and nice abilities like +1 attack die for undead, extra activation for undead, then stone skin, healing rain and storm for Ashrian.
Now it wasnt so bad until we get to Cardinal's Plight quest. I just don't see a way to win with overlord. In first Encounter OL choose barghests and put it on two squares so I cant move until I've killed them. OL has his test successful every turn so he managed to rised all zombies before I get to them. Barghests blocked me so I had to fight them and it slow me down too much.
So second Encounter. Ashrian run near dragon to the first door. There are Flesh Moulders but she passes them. Widow kill dragon with the undead. Ashrian manged to find a key in first door, so she run to the Cardinal. Widow is trying to heal him by praying but she fails. Ashrian rescue Cardinal and he runs. Then Flesh Moulders block corridor. They are ok because AShrian had not time to fight. She had to run to cardinal. Zombies attack cardinals back and finished him.
Has anyone won that quest with only 2 heroes? HOW? Is it even possible?
IS Act II more balanced or is it getting only worse?
