Aloriah: Midgard Progress Update #2.7

Farming scenario points at a rapid rate now with multiple armies. Sleipnir horses are being pumped out and there is even a non-hero army farming. I should be able to get the 5k scenario point achievement this upcoming week. This is a testament to the strategy of having a strong civilization build first.

Do not have lockpicking? Here is an example of what you can get. It seems to be a very nice item. The one you can buy from the Molten Ashlands item shop is only 2%.

Fishing continues, here is the best catch for the week:

Ragnarök's campaign against Bosotter continued. There have been two significant actions this week:
  • We moved to destroy his Tropical Islands village. Here is an action shot of the attack:
  • Bosotter ported his remaining 8 fenrir wolves to defend his village and they were killed by Draak's armies.
Bosotter then decided to call it a day for Midgard, and quit the server. Cheers for being a good sport about the pvp.

Patch 1.003 arrived this week. In case you missed it, here is a link to the patch notes:

The crux of patch 1.003 is that it is not possible to one shot the Mother Dragon anymore. Well, it may be possible but you will need a ton more troops. The developers actually have a challenge (read about it at http://www.aloriah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=2608):
"First one to slay the Mother Dragon from 100% life to 0 % life in one combat I will personally announce to be the true Champion and Lightbringer of all possible dimensions of Aloriah for all Eternity"

Ragnarök is actually close to killing the Mother Dragon in its old form in 1-2 weeks, so the patch extends the game round by several weeks. In spite of this, I am very happy with the change. You might remember my sum up for Migard round one saying it was too brief. When/if we win this round two, it will feel more satisfying. Not to belittle past winners, but winning in this new form, will truly be more epic!

  1. the true Champion and Lightbringer of all possible dimensions of Aloriah for all Eternity...

    ..Is indeed a difficult title to achieve.

    I now hope more players will feel engaged in the process of taking down the Mother Dragon! Also hoping players will be able to prepare mentally that the round will end shortly as she draws closer to the last few percent of her life.

    Congratz on your big fishie!! They were made to be really rare!! :)
