So, I haven't played this game in a while for a variety of reasons, mostly work and school eating up all my time, but I had a bit of free time this long weekend, so I thought I'd give it a whirl for old times' sake.  :)

I didn't feel like doing anything *too*strenuous, so I thought I'd go for something moderately challenging, (for me)  :P  like Quartermaster Gold.  The reason I chose this challenge is that, a while back, someone surmised that it's impossible to get a full win in Angel of Red Alert because you can't drop (extra) nukes, but I just thought I'd show that it is possible if you

wait out the timer on the nuke on the Spider Mastermind level and use the Lava Element at the last second.

Just to make things interesting, I thought I'd go for a Gun Kata build, so it was nice to find a Trigun along the way.  :)  I considered getting Conqueror too, but Gun Kata blocks Brute trait, which makes UC problematic.  I decided that I might try it anyway as long as I found a Hatred Skull in City of Skulls, but all I got were two Blood Skulls and a Fire Skull, so I gave up on getting Conqueror and didn't bother with the Mortuary or the Spiders' Lair either.

Unfortunately, I didn't survive the final battle.  JC kept teleporting around and I couldn't friggin' find him!  :|  I was still doing pretty well, though, and I had gotten JC down to "Mortally Wounded," but by that time, there were just too many minions about.  Dodgemaster allowed me to dodge JC's shots and the shots of the Barons, Knights, and Cacodemons around, but not the Revenants.  Fortunately, after I died, the nuke finished everybody else off and I still got all the medals anyway!  :D  (Also, I must say that I like the special message you get when you nuke JC;  I guess this is the first time I've nuked him in this version)

I'm assuming you are playing on a new-ish character just so as to see the badges earned?  107 previous souls doesn't seem like the right number for you...

Heh, well, after having played a few hundred Nightmare games, HNTR feels like a walk in the park.  :)

I'm assuming you are playing on a new-ish character just so as to see the badges earned?  107 previous souls doesn't seem like the right number for you...

Every time I install a new version, I reset the badges.  That's just what seems fair and right to me, considering that difficulty and challenges, not to mention badge requirements, keep changing from version to version.  The number of games played for this version is so low because I honestly haven't played this game in months.

For the record, the number of games for myself for each version:  (going by the number of previous brave souls listed in the latest mortems)

0.9.9.1:  712

0.9.9.2:  501

0.9.9.3:  47

0.9.9.4:  705

0.9.9.5:  142

0.9.9.6:  107

Total:  2214


EDIT:  I played most heavily in 0.9.9.1 because that's when I first discovered the game and I died a lot.  :P  Second most heavily was 0.9.9.4 because that's when I was really hunting Diamond badges;  I got 20 Diamonds in that version alone.
