So, I decided to let my schoolwork suffer for a bit and play this game again. :P When I was playing this game more regularly, I never achieved the Strongman Diamond in this version, but today, I guess I got lucky, because I got it in only two tries! :D
Naturally, I played with my favourite build: Vampyre. :) I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The new AI makes it a lot harder to farm Pain Elementals! :o City of Skulls used to be the easiest level ever for a Vampyre build, but this time, I went in with a big pile of medpacks and armour, and came out with one medpack and almost no armour left. :| Things were pretty shaky for a while after that, and I wasn't sure if I would win, so I skipped most of the special levels and decided not to bother trying for a full win.
Late game was made considerably easier when I was able to assemble a nano-fibre ballistic vest. Having a permanent 25% boost to melee protection is quite handy for a melee build. :)
Curiously, I didn't get Strongman Platinum. I'm assuming that's a bug, since it has lesser requirements than Strongman Diamond.
