Rescue Mission Elite on latest build 5233

I think the balance is a little of. My ally got destroyed after 10 seconds of gametime, before I had the slightest chance to build op. It was nice that I was on level 2 to begin with, but maybe the computer ally's ai needs a little rethink?

I made some notes to review the difficulty with this quest. Anyone else have comments? (even if not on Elite)

|||They do come pretty quickly in comparison to other quests, even on normal mode. You don't have time to scout anything or get a feel for the map if it's your first time doing it.

I have done this quest quite a few times on elite and have always won the map without any real issues. I am lvl 40 mind you and have decent gear so that does help.

I am a very average player and always get owned in pvp.

I always build a fortress close between both town centres for protection so if i am attacked they're soon cleared out :D

Hi,

I played the quest a few days ago and ran into some strange things. My lvl is 29 and I played the quest on Elite. I don't know if this map is autogenerated, but in my playsession, there where 3 big island. On 2 was the enemy and on one was the ally. So I settled to the island where my ally was. So long, so good.

After a while, elites started attacken. Was quite hard at the beginning, but I did good defensing. So I could build up some small nice army and tried to attack the enemy. Well and it was impossible to realy win. So I rebuild a new army, all over again and started attacking, killed some elites and lost the whole army, build a new army.....and then, no ressources on the whole map. I battlet on, and for me it seems, the AI enemy had endless resources; well at least kind of strange resource managment. So I build a lot of farmes and started a nice day as a farmer. The whole mission took me about 4 to 5 hours. I sold my eating for gold, build some army and could at least destroy both enemies. The enemie just waited on the island to be attackt. What an "§$%&ole ;). And now? Now the quest wasn't marked as complete! So I destroyed every building, and still nothing. Yea the ally was still alive.

Edit: I forgot, at the ending, i only got 1xp from killing the elites

So, thats my comment on that.

sincerely,
Luc
