Day 256 on Cursed. One portal left. The game has become unwinnable. Has anyone survived longer?
I’ve been playing Kingdom 2 crowns Call of Olympus on Cursed difficulty, and I’m currently on Day 256 with the same king. I only have one portal left on the final island, but I think I’ve accidentally made the game harder than it was ever meant to be.
My strategy for surviving this long has been using the Medusa shield. Every night I would leave the safety of my walls, freeze huge groups of Greed, and let them turn to stone. That kept my kingdom alive for over 250 days.
The problem is that the difficulty has scaled so much that it no longer works.
The last portal is very far from my outer wall, and every single night it spawns multiple Crab Greed carrying Crown Stealers. Even if I freeze one wave, more Crown Stealers run straight past everything and head for my king. If I stand still long enough to use the shield, I risk losing my crown.
I’ve tried:
Rebuilding and attacking again.
Retreating by ship to recover and returning later.
Sending larger armies.
Keeping both sides defended.
Nothing seems to be enough anymore because the nightly waves are so overwhelming.
So I have two questions for the community:
Has anyone survived longer than Day 256 on Cursed with a single monarch?
Is there actually a strategy for beating the final portal in this situation, or have I simply let the game scale too far?
I’d love to hear your longest runs, and if anyone has beaten a situation like this, I’d really like to know how you did it.
