Winning Star Shield before G?

[BWT]

Hi dear Andori!
There are some reports on BGG where people say they win star shield legend before letter G.

Is this possible?
What do you think?

I think that maybe there is a possibility in 2-player game (maybe even in 3-player game) with Dwarf.

Hello BWT,

maybe it is possible, but I don´t think so.
Every threat have 20 strength points (the "Krahder" 10 for each fighting hero, 30 sp for the "Dark Temple"). You must defeat some creatures to get more strength points for the heroes. But every creature on space 80 moves the narrator.
I think, the heroes must defeat at least four or five creatures to get enough gold. This moves the narrator to D or E and you need 2 or 3 days (F-H). And then the heroes are not really strong.
As I have said, with some luck it could be possible, but this I cannot imagine.

Just my thoughts! Thank you!

But I think after killing just 2 Skrals dwarf can increase his strength up to 14 (4 in start + 2 from start gold + 8 gold for Scrals). It's enough to beat every boss in 2 player game. Especially if you get the runestones.

Hello BWT,

my english ist not so good, but this is an interesting question, so I will try to give an answer:

You don' t need the star shield to win the legend, so I think it is possible to win before letter G, but only with two heroes

The key is Eara. She can get 5 SP (4 in start + 1 from the fog). She can domesticate the wolf with witches brew and herbs, but without any risk.
In this way your herogroup has 22 SP without any (creature)fight and without any Gold.

In the game are 6 Gold and 3 (worth 4) mushrooms. So you can buy 5 SP (or 10 SP for the dwarf).
So your heroegroup has 27 SP without any (creature)fight.

I think it is enough to beat the most threats, especially if Eara get the big black dice.

You can fill the castle - 3 shields and rescued farmers - so you can use the days to finish the other quests.

No problem - or?

Interesting!

Hmmm... Another interesting question - win the Legend without killing creatures!

I think it's even possible to win Legend 3 without killing! Dwarf can build up to 8 SP + wizard with runestones. They can kill a boss.

Hi Vakmar,

your german english is perfect. Better to understand than native english,
zumindest für mich

We did star shield once at E
So I think it is possible.
We were two player and had the Temple as main threat.
I don't know our task but it was easy.
with 3 wolves and every wolf 3 Strenght and the Runestones we destroyed the Temple very easily. But I think it is more difficult with more players.

In my opinion the prince role (Fürstenaufgabe) affects the task difficulty greatly. If you have a easy role, it is possible to finish the game on letter G but if you have a hard role (for example prince Thorald) i think there is no way to finish the legend on letter G or befor.

What prince role did you have?

@Hagen

Vielen Dank für die Blumen.

Jo, german english trifft es ganz gut:

Naja, ich habe gedacht, Hauptsache mein "Gegenüber" versteht mich und das scheint ja so zu sein.

@Tapta

What prince role did you have?

We only buy the original prince role from de Beukelaer.
But I think the prince role from "aldi" has the same quality.
