did you ever get ultimate in campaign?

[absolute virtue]

I only saw necro's ultimate in dungeon campaign (you release some hero from jail and he's got it), and 2 sylvan heroes got nature's luck in sylvan#3 or 4, but what about heroes you actualy start with?
based on a skill wheel, ultis are ether impossible to get to begin with (some initial skill is wrong) or something that is needed in order to progress is just not being offered as you lvl...

so .. has any1 ever gotten an ulti on a hero that you start with??

[DuRieL]

To put a long story short... no.

They are very hard - sometimes downright impossible - to get, and many aren't worth the while when you *do* get them. I seldom dare to pursue the ultimate path; I find the generous - and soon to be had - improvements of the more practical skills far better than the alleged ultimacy of "ultimate" skills.

Yep, both in Inferno and Necro campaigns. Didn't bothered with Haven one, nor will with Dungeon, as they're not too attractive.

In Sylvan campaign you can't get ultimate, but can play with two other heroes with it...and prolly will try with Academy.

[Psychobabble]

I haven't got it on any so far, but I'm trying for it in academy. But I've very nearly fully upgraded enlightenment and summoning magic and I still haven't been offered attack. Hope it comes soon or else I'll have to abandon the effort.

[Bandobras Took]

It's something I'll probably try now that there's an easy difficulty, and you don't actually have to worry about completing the map objectives.

[Curio]

Nope.

And I probably won't try again any time soon. Some seem pretty good, like Sylvan's and Inferno's particularly.

But they are so difficult to get. I've tried once with a Necromancer, and it was going pretty good until my next level up offered up all the wrong abilities, and offered all the wrong skills when I only had one empty slot left. So, it got screwed up. It was quite frustrating, and the witch huts rarely have what you're after to change what your next level up may offer.

on the topic of markal - had him set with basically everything for ultimate, then picked the wrong Master of


ARRGGHHHHHH

[scorch]

I did it with Markak and Realag( that one was waste of time...... cause you don't got castle in the last level )

Never never never do that with Heaven.....rhis is so lame I can't believe it's so darn expandable!

[Qurqirish Dragon]

I got it in the dungeon campaign, but as others have said, it takes so long to do it, and the chance of not getting a choice you can use makes it something you really don't want to bother with in general (for any hero type)

[absolute virtue]

well, I am just hoping that when the map editor will be out with AI attached, the fans will build maps where you could actually get ulti by hero lvl 25 or so (lots of witch huts with assigned skills) ...

The problem with rage of the elements is that it was designed for how the elemental chains worked in the beta, not the way it works now. Before, you could build up elemental chains and blow them for multiples of base damage, and doubling *that* would indeed be ultimate ownage. Now, it's basically a vastly inferior version of nature's luck.

I suggest the Dungeon ultimate should double spell damage as well. I mean, lostistics, enlightenment, war machines and luck... anything BUT destructive magic and sorcery...

Uh oh. The same for me - I'm level 17 in 2nd scenario and still no Attack skill. Oh come on!

[Minmaster]

most time i cant just because the skills/abilities your heroes start out with...

I only just started and I'm level 2 and got offered attack right away, I'm glad I picked it up.

[arturchix]

Phew, finally got it just when hit level cap in the map.

Are you sure you can't get the ultimate in Sylvan campaign? It seems to me, looking at the skillwheel (a godsend, many thanks to whoever did it, possibly Aurelain), that you need to have Defence, Attack, Logistics and Luck to have the ultimate. Findan has Attack already, so why can't he get it?

Because you need frenzy ability and he starts with archery.

[cornellian]

Oh, didn't notice that one... Thanks Lucifer.

[theGryphon]

I tried and failed with Isabel. Simply the given choices at a level-up screwed the whole thing. Anyways, triple damage is not that a big deal.
I did it with Agrael, and Urgash's call is very good to have.
Didn't attempt it with Markal, went for Attack, Defense, Luck and Dark (Leadership was already there).

doesnt findan also have tactics? i thought that prevents it too...
