UAC Platinum Badge (Win game on Nightmare!)

-
Destroyer Diamond. Its been kicking my ass every time.
-
-All of the gold badges.
-Elite Platinum (allready have a plan for this.. ehehehehe)
-Marksmanship Diamond (This too)
-Pacifismn Diamond (obviously)
-Find the dragonslayer to test my three theories on.. In Ao100 HMB.
-Nightmare Ao100, ammochain style.
In no partical order however.

I need another silver badge to rank up again, so I have a few I keep rotating between trying:
Strongman Silver Badge: Win standard game using knives and fists.
Eagerness Silver Badge: Complete Angel of Impatience.
Destroyer Silver Badge: Complete Angel of Max Carnage.
I know my goals are far less ambitious than most, but I'm under no delusions about my skill level. I still have lots to learn, and I'm just working my way up as best as I can, setting small goals and meeting them eventually.
Oh, and I need another 150 Barons of Hell to rank up on that front, so working on them as I see them.
UPDATE: Beat AoI finally, so now I have to set my sights on quite a few more silver badges as well as some golds. I'm thoroughly enjoying this new sytem, I really feel it's helping me to become better as a player by being able to set my sights on reasonable things and work my way onto things that I definitely felt were impossible at one point.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Finally earned the Strongman Silver Badge. I got lucky on the level prior to the arena, found both a berserk pack and a homing phase device. Knifed the Cybie down no problem. Now if only I could have that kind of like on any of the AoB games I play.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Died on level 90 of an Angel of 100. Would've been my first win. Oh well, nabbed 66 Barons of Hell, putting me over the mark to rank up. Just 200 Arch Viles now...
-
Ah, rank ups. If I pistol a few mancubi and hell knights to death, its Arch-Vile for me.
No Destroyer Silver yet? I'm only missing it (and bronze) 'cos I only play it on N! :P
-
-Centurial Gold;
-Destoyer Gold
-UAC Gold.
All are easy, i don't even know why I'm getting killed.
And 1 silver. Just for the rank.

I got that one on my first try. Just start a game in ITYTD and it shouldn't give you much trouble.
-
Veteran Platinum. Because I really suck at nightmare. :/ If only there were like an acid gun that melted corpses or something.
-
For me it's...
Breaking the bad luck and finally completing the game on HMP, maybe ?
-
Ditto, I'm still trying to beat AoMC on HNTR as well. I can consistently get within five-ten levels of the Cyberdemon and something suddenly comes out of nowhere to screw me over.
-
Getting a Platinum
Getting a Diamond
Getting Arch-Vile

AoI in N! as explorer/ AoI N! Mortuary. It has caused me to get aggravated and start rambling about how luck is really important. The early levels of N! without being able to carry medkits (and the traits to reflect that game style) seem to be either decently do-able, or completely impossible, so the question becomes can you get lucky enough to avoid the "insta-death" levels.
-
I'm trying to complete UV and challenges on that difficulty. It shouldn't be much harder than HMP right, just more stuff to kill? Still it gets me.
I'm also trying to summon up the courage to try Ao100 again. Last couple of times my careful style of playing suddenly became less careful after 50 levels of gaming, which got killed by walking around a corner. Suddenly standing next to a barrel with tons of stuff shooting at me at the same time tends to have an instakilling type of effect. Now that it has happened twice I'll be sure to shoot every single barrel I see, and not walk around any corner in maze levels but make them nice open cavernous levels with rockets.
The DoomRL addiction has been reduced a little since the new version release craze, but I'm still trying to cram in at least a game a week.
-
Yesterday I was able to beat AoMC on UV with 100% kills, so now I'm feeling confident enough to attempt Destroyer Diamond. If I pull it off I'll get 1 diamond and 2 platinum badges in the process, and already meet the requirements for 2 ranks ahead of me.
EDIT: Aaaand I just did it, lol.

Sort of, but it's a lot easier to splat on the early levels. Like you get hell knights on level 2, and you can get cacodemon caves on 3 or 4, which is just deadly. With some of the challenges, you have to corner shoot pretty much everything until you get your traits going.
So... no luck for me yet on full winning UV. Might try AoB on UV. Anyone have advice for this compared to AoB on medium? It almost seems harder than N! because you can't stay berserk as long.
-
Is no one gunning for Strongman Diamond? So far as I can tell, its just a UV (although N! would be a more viable choice.. better meds + longer power ups :P) pacifism run without the nuke and guaranteed levels. With a much better level of planning than Pacifism Diamond, this might be do-able.I'm being overly sarcastic here. IT MAY AS WELL BE MARKED "IMPOSSIBLE, MOVE ALONG"!
-
IMO, that kind of strategy would work better with marksman diamond. You might be able to get some xp just by corner shooting, etc. But with just fists, gaining xp seems problematic since you need berserk to kill anything... which sort of wastes the opportunity berserk gives to explore more safely.
