Adventures with bad berserkers
Previously, I have won these berserkers (in chronological order):
Mi Ce HE Ha Mf Ko Ds Hu VS Vp HO Gr Na Te DD and now Ba.
The remaining dudes were these:
Group 1: Cannot berserk
Formicid, Ghoul, Mummy
Group2: Armour problems
Mild armour problems: Draconian
Medium armour problems: Troll, Ogre, Spriggan
Serious armour problems: Felid, Octopode
Group 3: Generally bad for the role
Deep Elf (joined later by Gnoll)
Of course, I did not think that these guys are all bad. I guessed that Tr will be good, Og and Dr almost as good, Deep Elf will be okay, I was unsure about Sp, and the rest will be awful. The one I was very wrong about was DE: a human with frail 3, bad aptitudes and bad stats is definitely not okay.
I did not streak them, of course, I'm not good enough for that. Also, I usually played 5-6 games simultaneously in various servers and versions, always playing the one I fancied.
Chapter 1: TrBe
I went unarmed of course. As I did not need weapon gifts, I was consciously trying to be more liberal than usual with god powers (which I should probably do in all other cases as well). I took a Swamp dragon armour in Swamp, paying the iron price. Later I went for a FDA. (Note: not "scales", I played 0.17, the best version).
Overall, this is a good combo, and I managed to do it in one try.
