for all the last adventurer games I have had, the same sequence of events has occoured; I travel all the towns, amassing a horde of soldiers of every kind 'as long as you lead me to glory...' then worked my way to the half destroyed frontier town on the edge of the human territory, and find the half crazed, war shocked mayor: 'as you know we are at war with the orcs... you may be able to acheive somthing our armies cannot...' then a trek down to the orc held dark fortress.
my orcs are modded to be less op and be more in line with the normal races; they have [no stun]+[no nausia] instead of [nopain], the same damblock as dwarves [:1] and use their own custom weapons (all of which are huge, very heavy and have high crit dam bonuses). this fort contains about 80 of them. mission: genocide.
I roll up outside the first fort and orcs pour out instantly- we are already at war. my companions countercharge and soon there is a huge melee... coming to meet me is a relatively modest 'Orc Weaponsmith'. Unarmed. I sneered and moved to behead him with my axe.
biiig mistake. a breif glance at his stats wouldve shown me that he was packing legendary strength, and very tough. Even a glance at the orcs high unarmed damage (1:6 vs human 1:2) should have warned me.
my lashes and pikemen seemed to have the upper hand over the assortment of children and presiets they were hacking apart, so I moved to meet the weaponsmith. one of my boys fired an arrow at him, piecing his left hand, before he even got to me. this is going to be too eas- aurgh.
THE ORC WEAPON SMITH PUNCHES YOU IN THE HEAD- IT COLLAPSES INTO YOUR BODY, AN UNRECKOGNISABLE MASS OF GORE
O_o
he proceed s to punch down two more of my dudes before the orc gaurds mop them up. I have a grudge.
I do it all again- I go to the mayor: 'as you know, we are at war with..', i go the fortress with a posse. I charge. I disembowel a few kids. Orc gaurds pour in. They are no match for me and the human soldiers, and we pave a path to the door with dead orcs. Busting through a pair of unlucky children, I lead the charge on the doorway, only to be met by... the weaponsmith.
I axe him. It sticks into his arm. He knocks me over then breaks both my arms. with singular punches. he punches me in the lower body, propelling me away and doing unspeakable internal damage.
He pulls out the axe and drops it.
my boys are too busy mowing down children to see my plight. he slowly walks over, then lays into me. he punches me into a bloody mess. I die.
Fast foward: I have repeated this process for the tenth time today. This time he wrestled me, breaking my limbs while around him pikey orc children beat me apart. the humiliation is absolute. I am denied my invasion and genocide by a civilian metalworker!
Nothing will take him down.
I have tried with axes. Its never enough.
I tried with pikemen. The pike gets stuck, and i can never twist it enough before he punches my brains out the back of my skull.
I modded crossbows/bows to only do 20 peircing dam, and they do not have nearly enough power to take down this steamrolling, very tough killing machhine.
He still feels pain, but no stunning, nausia. He is always surrounded by other orcs, and my minions always get engaged with the gaurds before he emerges. he has somthing ridiculous like 14 human kills under his name, all unarmed. the human towns are rapidly running out of recruitables; at this rate the humans will lose the war! (they already are, 70% of the world is orc, black orc, goblin or knobold held)
HOW DO I KILL THIS BEAST!
