Title: Medal for zero-damage Phobos Base Entry
Post by: grommile on April 07, 2013, 08:20

Infiltrator's Medal: Clear Phobos Base Entry without taking damage or firing a shotgun.

Too easy, at least on low difficulties. You stand at the entrance in a cornershooting position, and run/wait until something shows itself. Blammo, repeat, done.

OK. Add "HMP+" to it, then :)

That's a step in the right direction. I still don't think it's going to make it, but if you can, have it replace something rediculous like the Spider Killer's Cross :)

Damageless Genocidal Approach on Ultra-Violent Archangel of Berserk would be very impressive.

"Very impressive" is easy enough, it's "Very impressive and still actually possible" that's kinda hard to achieve :S

Nah phobos base entry is generally very very easy to do damageless.

However, a bronze for UV damageless, and a silver for nightmare damageless I guess would be kinda ok and logical, all things considered. Or just a medal for UV+ damageless is fine too, i guess.

I wouldn't consider it an "Infiltrator" badge unless it was damageless...with zero kills!

EDIT:...or no shots fired, or both enemies and you received zero damage.
These things might be worthy of a badge worth startscumming for.

Naturally the strategy would be to wait in a grove of trees in a corner for about 1000 turns so all enemies may have wandered out in the wilderness. OR they've enemies their guns in to a tree. If YOU don't kill them but they kill each other off maybe you could still get YAAM and infiltrator medal. So many possibilities...

The original proposal was about a medal, not a badge. Hell Champion Medal is way too easy as well.
I suggest two medals: damageless Phobos Entry and damageless Phobos Entry on N!.

I'm not sure 2 are necessary, but I upvote the idea of removing useless medals like HArena champion & HArmorer's badge. (also, medals named badges, well... hmm.)

Spider killer cross or some other are quite useless too. (you get spider killer for HoC ? Isnt there one medal in AoHu for clearing the spider's lair ?)
Any, I think lair & HoC should both be in the game. Just didnt get enough time to give feedback about new levels

Hey, I like that the game keeps track of how many times I've cleared these levels.

Ok, why not, but... why don't keep statistics about city of skulls or the lava pits as well then ?
