Aloriah: Midgard Progress Update #2.11

I blew past the 10k scenario point achievement quite easily. Unfortunately, there were no new epic(s) rewards. This was confirmed by the developers who said the "undefined" was just a display bug. I will be honest and say it was a bit of a let down. Farming 10k+ scenario points is no mean feat, and the reward is worse then the 5k one. I hope the 20k reward is decent.

On the achievement point front, I am currently at 1920. I hope to make that "Elite Player" 2k mark soon.

The update last week was pretty boring as we were preparing to attack the Mother Dragon and did not want to give that away, until the attack occurred. :) Now, I can talk about it.

So, we attacked the Mother Dragon! This was a proper attack, we did a test attack the other week.

In typical fashion, here is the role-play blurb from our leader Ramdas:
"After Midgard’s first clash with the Mother Dragon she breathed her last fiery breath and died. The G-ds took her soul with them hoping to tame this untamable beast. But it was just that untamable, instead the Mother Dragon got loose and ate several G-ds absorbing the power G-ds the Mother Dragon became Mother Dragon Goddess, the destroyer of mankind. 

You all thought the Mother Dragon was tough to handle now try her when she has the power of several of the G-ds. It is as if the Mother Dragon went on steroids (Don’t do drugs!)  . The Mother dragon will not go down in one attack. Now it will take several more attacks to destroy he life essence to such a degree to cause the Mother Dragon to become a spirit again.

One positive thing about the Mother Dragon eating the G-ds is that the G-ds in her stomach did something to her egg laying abilities. She now lays eggs that give rewards to the heroes who attack the Mother Dragon. This was the G-d’s who were eaten final act of revenge.

We Ragnarök will be taking these eggs in honor of the G-ds of Aloriah. All shall learn why Ragnarök are the force that ends the World."

Note, the world announcement only listed me instead of the seven members of the Ragnarök alliance. I think that is because I was the last one to die.

The "undefined" scenario was a display bug. I did not record how many scenario points I had before the fight, but other members of the alliance reported they gained scenario points. It would have been 285 or so ((4 * 10 * 50)/7) each. The scenario points are not really worth it. Black dragons farming is still better. You attack the Mother Dragon more to kill it and to get access to other rewards, eg, eggs.

We brought 535k worth of troops, and only did 4%! It is certainly going to take some killing. It will speed up in future as:
  • Not all of us were at full troop strength.
  • Eggs (most probably) will process access to better buildings, troops, etc which will increase our capabilities.
Well, it is going to be rinse and repeat. Retrain troops, attack again until the Mother Dragon dies! We shall see what new items/etc unlock as we progress.

  1. Nice, I agree there should have been good items for such hard work in acheiving 10 K SP
