Level: 234 Date: 27-June-2010 Mood: Perky???!!!!

A new monster is available! Or can we consider this a Battle? Whatever. Basically it is yet another fight the monster thingy with a different twist. You get to use the same abilities as for “War”. Yup, so get ready to fight more monsters to get the best weapons/items for your heroes. No, you don’t need super powerful heroes (there aren’t really any significantly powerful heroes anyway), what you need is to get those powerful items for your heroes and they will do very well in “War”. The difference between “War of the Red Plains” is that you get to use the “Tactic” function, which you fight like in “War” aka your heroes vs the enemies heroes which then gives bonuses to your attacks. Confused? No, it is actually a very simple idea – you attack as per normal, then any enemy hero you killed, you get an additional bonus to that attack. Look below for more information.

Check out the Tactics button on the bottom left.

Yes, additional damage to those Zenarean Soldiers, whoever they are. I think we are meant to kill as many Zenarean Soldiers as possible. Vermins.

Arrrggggghhhhh…..lack of the party health cause me to hit for less. Just imagine with full party health, what kind of damage can be done! Well, we can only live and learn, can we? I had initially thought that we will be fighting against other players, but I was wrong. I believe these are random units with random weapons and items. And look at the items these Zenarean heroes have, I have absolutely no idea what some of their stats are. Interesting….

Oh, the new gifts for you to create the Zenarean Crest, which in turn….

allows you to summon the War of the Red Plains, which in turn…..

allows you to create this Soul Crusher (need the Death Touch Gauntlet from Lotus I believe as well), or …..

allows you to summon this Hero Hyperion. From the forums, he looks kind of stiff for a hero. And the name Hyperion sounds weird in a fantasy setting, don’t you think so?  Sounds like a science friction name. They should call him “Hyperventilius”. Better. Especially considering that he is wearing such thick and heavy armour.  Whatever.

Okay, now back to our regular programming – updates on loots! From the feedback I get from my readers, this is their favourite part. Or am I just imaging that I have faithful readers? Lol!

I tried my best, but they don’t give me good results for my hard work.  Anyway, I realize that I am finding it harder and harder to level up fast enough to do much of a difference in these high level battles anymore. I guess this is because there are more and more god-like high level players in Castle Age. Sad. And I feel that regular players who just want to have some fun playing Castle Age like me are being left high and dry by the developers. Give me a tissue.

You have been awarded with: Mountain Keep!
You have been awarded with: Holy Gauntlets! [attack: 4 defense: 6]

The Castle Age developers are making me kill so many orcs, yet they are not giving me that stupid Dragon Scale I need to make my Helm of Dragon Power. I am angry. Oh, thanks for the favor points, I really need those. Well as I mentioned before, the rest of the loot are useless to me now. I hope that the developers will find some way for me to ditch all these useless weapons and items, something like Kobo but not only for gifts.

Battle of the Dark Legion with 2,725 orcs killed:
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!

The wanton slaughtering of orcs is making me very sad. This is not like slaying Cronus or Bahamut or even Skaar, but this is the mass murder of innocent orcs. Yes, they breed like rabbits (or they are dug from the ground if you have watched Lord of the Rings) and killing one, there will probably be millions replacing it but sometimes we need to make a stand and say “enough is enough”. Give me my Dragon Scale already! Lol!

Ancient Sea Serpent with 464,146 dmg / 347,068 def:
You have been rewarded 4 demi points  of Azeron!
You have been awarded 1 Favor Points!

You have been awarded with: Atlantean Helm! [attack: 4 defense: 5] You have been awarded with: Atlantean Gauntlet! [attack: 4 defense: 4]

Yes, they have given me one favor point from killing this ancient sea serpent!  The rest of the loots are not impressive at all.  And only one Spartan Warrior, it would probably make me years to get my Spartan Phalanx. Actually, come to think of it, it is much harder to get this Spartan Phalanx unit then getting the Serpent units. If you are lucky and hit hard, you can get the Serpents as loot. But as for the Spartan Phalanx, just imagine the number of fights you have to go through to get those 300 Spartan Warriors! I am disheartened.

Battle of the Dark Legion with 2,014 soldiers(??) killed:
You have been awarded 1 Favor Points!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!

[attack: 0 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Orc War Axe! [attack: 4 defense: 1] You have been awarded with: Spartan Warrior! [attack: 2 defense: 1] You have been awarded with: Valerian Mystic!

You have been awarded with: Mountain Keep!
You have been awarded with: Defender! [attack: 7 defense: 10]

Hmmm……they changed the casualties from Orcs to Soldiers? Why? Is it because of the realization that orcs are living beings too and they deserve some sympathy than us just trying to slaughter them and getting no Dragon Scale in return? Is it? Oh, thanks again for the favor points. I am getting a lot of alchemy parts for the Holy Plates. Not very sure whether the Holy Plate will be useful in the future for me. But for the time being, I am still creating Holy Plates. They are pretty powerful armour.

Battle of the Dark Legion with 2,992 soldiers killed:
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Corvintheus!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Aurora!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Aurora!

You have been awarded with: Paladin’s Oath! [attack: 7 defense: 8] You have been awarded with: Holy Gauntlets! [attack: 4 defense: 6]

It is not me. The developers make me do it. And they don’t even have the courtesy to give me one freaking Dragon Scale! Wuhahahaha! I think they are hoarding those Dragon Scales for their own amusement. Or maybe they don’t want their players to have that Dragon Helm. Oh, as usual, the loots are not impressive at this level. I guess I have start fighting against higher level critters from now on.

Skaar Deathrune with 341 dmg / 159,437 def :
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Corvintheus!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Aurora!
You have been awarded with: Rusty Armor! [attack: 2 defense: 3] You have been awarded with: Feral Staff! [attack: 2 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Soul Catcher! [attack: 8 defense: 7] You have been awarded with: Pestilence! [attack: 7 defense: 9] You have been awarded with: Hellslayer Knight! [attack: 29 defense: 33]

I joined this because one of my friends needed some help. But interestingly, I got an epic loot – Hellslayer Knight. Not too shabby for a measly 159k defense. The developers must be facing a little more generous than usual on that day.

Skaar Deathrune with 1,137,574 dmg / 212,613 def :
You have been awarded 1 Favor Points!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Malekus!
You have been awarded with: Energy Potion! [attack: 0 defense: 0] You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!
You have been awarded with: Feral Staff! [attack: 2 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Feral Staff! [attack: 2 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Rusty Gloves! [attack: 1 defense: 1] You have been awarded with: Hands of Darkness! [attack: 5 defense: 4] You have been awarded with: Deathrune Blade! [attack: 11 defense: 14] You have been awarded with: Helm of Fear! [attack: 9 defense: 9] You have been awarded with: Deathrune Blade! [attack: 11 defense: 14] You have been awarded with: Hellslayer Knight! [attack: 29 defense: 33] You have been awarded with: Castle!
You have been awarded with: Castle!
You have been awarded with: Deathrune Signet! [attack: 9 defense: 6]

Wow, yet another favor point. And 2 epic loots! Must be my lucky day! Or is it because Skaar Deathrune loots are better? From what I read from forums, it seems to indicate that Skaar loots are quite good. Those Hellslayer Knights are powerful units, my friends. Not to be taken lightly. And I joined this battle because one of my friends needed some help as well.

Alpha Bahamut with 1,782,564 Activity:
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Azeron!
You have been awarded with: Angelic Blessing! [attack: 0 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Rusty Armor! [attack: 2 defense: 3] You have been awarded with: Arcanist! [attack: 23 defense: 20] You have been awarded with: Hellkite Minion! [attack: 32 defense: 27] You have been awarded with: Marketplace!
You have been awarded with: Hellforge Guantlets! [attack: 14 defense: 6]

I was here. Yes, I didn’t really hit that much but I was busy with several other monsters at the same time. However, I did a lot of Call To Arms and returned a ton of favors. However, I guess this is not recognized in Castle Age. And I really doubt that anyone bothers to check either. Hey, I am no tagger! And thanks for the Hellforge Guantlets!

Okay guys, this is the end of my little report. See you guys next time. Bye!
