Work with what you got

[arctic kite]

Try to win a match with only 3 trained units.

Rules:
You cannot train more than 3 units.

No spells, and no enchantments, for AI Matches and LEM (Low-Elo Multiplayer). Work with what you got.

Nuzlocke Mode. Your unit dies, it dies forever. You cannot train again after training 3 units.

Spells and Enchantments are allowed for HEM (High-Elo Multiplayer).

No Generals. We are on limited resources here.

Merics are allowed.

Don't challenge with friends that will help you with this challenge.
You are cheating at this point.

Even though Magikill spawn minions, they are still allowed.

Normal is allowed, but you must have guts of steel to even accept this challenge on Hard or Insane.

This can be done on both SWL and SWS.

This is pretty much impossible on Multiplayer. But if you want to try, strategize a bit.

Those 2 starting miners are allowed and can be used for this challenge. But if they die, they die.

For Normal players out there, pick a relatively hard map. Sort of like that boyer trap level.

Yes, campaign is allowed.

Upgrades, like that Armory 2 stuff, is allowed, but this is for making the challenge easier. Future edits will probably remove this rule.

If you beat this with video proof, you can get your name here and I will congratulate you!

...That's it.

Victors of this challenge:

@blazing mica
The first to try and beat this challenge, and the first and probably the only one to beat this on Insane.
Broke 2 rules, but still is worthy to be qualifed due to it being on Insane.
This was beyond my expectations.
Their completion is on the self-promo channel.

Suggest me some rules, otherwise people will cheese this easily..
..please?

Based off that achievement in SWS.
I honestly think this is a bad challenge, but I'm just gonna take a shot and click this post button right here.

[sleek tinsel]

starting 2 miners dont count towards that 3 correct?

also rune not allowed?

[devout elm]

What if I order a level 18 insane mode campaign?

[sleek tinsel]

for the sake of it being a challenge for you not an excuse to troll a teammate I'd figure it only counts if teammate also is playing such challenge but its not my post

[devout elm]

Okay

[arctic kite]

"No Spells and No Upgrades"

[arctic kite]

2 starting miners dont count, free to use

[arctic kite]

No teammates.
Only Ranked 1V1s.
Work with what you got.

[arctic kite]

Proving Grounds or Ranked Matches on Insane are allowed. No Campaign levels.

[devout elm]

Hehe

[abstract jetty]

Wait that means NO ENCTANTMENTS LIKE VAMPARIC SOUL OR POSION SPELLS?!?!?!

[arctic kite]

yes.
work with what you got.

i actually wanna see a person beat this challenge.

[blazing mica]

Do miners count?

[arctic kite]

miners count if they are useful for your economy.
but use them wisely.

[blazing mica]

Fck

No miner rush

[arctic kite]

you can do this in both SWL or SWS

anyone can beat this

the only thing that's stopping them is their own endurance.

[blazing mica]

Swl maybe

[arctic kite]

in insane mode only

[blazing mica]

But in sw3, it just ain't possible unless you play on a new account

[arctic kite]

you can use spells if you are on high rank

[blazing mica]

What would you consider as high rank?

[arctic kite]

i dont know sws ranks anymore, i am an oldgen

but over silver

or over platinum

[blazing mica]

Even before SD, something like gold-plat was still low

Anyway, this challenge is not possible in sw3 unless your opponent is outright raterded

Like genuinely

Only 3 units allowed including the miners

With no generals

And no heal source allowed either

You are practically stuck with only 2 units with an eco worse than literally early game eco

It's just not possible

Hell, not even AI is idiotic enough to lose to this

[arctic kite]

uh check again

i edited this

hope it atleast has a little chance of possibility

[blazing mica]

It's possible now

If you fight a raetard

From what I'm understanding, this is now allowed against AI too in sw3

[arctic kite]

are there any cheesable proving grounds level

i just want to ask

or levels you find relatively easy

in proving grounds

[blazing mica]

Order empire level

[arctic kite]

list them all

[blazing mica]

That's every level for me really

[blazing mica]

Whar

Order empire level

The level that's literally called "order empire" in proving grounds

But even then, in this challenge, you ain't cheesing nothing

[arctic kite]

you beat all of the levels in proving grounds on insane or?

[blazing mica]

Every level

[arctic kite]

okay bro

[blazing mica]

To the point where I got bored enough to quite literally hardcounter myself against some of the levels

[arctic kite]

im asking the game discussion

[blazing mica]

I'm gonna try this against AI

[arctic kite]

record the whole thing

and pick a hard map too if you try this on normal!

[blazing mica]

Why not just the replay and a screenshot

[arctic kite]

replay links dont work for me

[blazing mica]

Ain't no way I'm doing this on any difficulty other than insane

[blazing mica]

Wha

[arctic kite]

buddy do you even have skill to do this on insane-

[blazing mica]

Ig I'll just have to make an YouTube video

[arctic kite]

yeah

thats better

[blazing mica]

yay content to feed my subscribers

[arctic kite]

i will put your name in this forum and congratulate you

and nothing else

[blazing mica]

Idk

But there are a few levels that are weak to magispam

[arctic kite]

give me their names

[blazing mica]

Uh

No

[arctic kite]

god damn it

i would have made this challenge more harder if you said the names

[blazing mica]

That's why I didn't

[arctic kite]

grrr

but y'know, you can do this on normal

[blazing mica]

No

I refuse.

Now I just need to figure out a good deck, good strat, and the easiest level to beat

Wait spells are allowed

Yeah I'm winning 100%

[arctic kite]

for high elo multiplayer.

[blazing mica]

oh

Fck

[arctic kite]

merics are there yk

they count as spells

you can use thwm

[blazing mica]

Only in swl

No upgrades allowed is pain

[arctic kite]

spells and upgrades are allowed for high elo multiplayer

[blazing mica]

This is the shi I gotta use bruh

[arctic kite]

are you on high elo multiplayer?

[blazing mica]

I'm going into proving grounds

This is impossible in ranked

Only 3 units with no spells or upgrades is so damn restricted

Actually I'll use egiants instead of cgiants

[arctic kite]

no spells lil bro

[blazing mica]

Wait is nuzlocke mode in the challenge or is it extra?

[blazing mica]

Where do you see spells in my deck

[arctic kite]

yes, nuzlocke mode is in

[blazing mica]

WHAT

MF this is literally impossible

You can't do this sht anywhere

Hold on I gotta try something

[arctic kite]

no upgrades

or mythics

lol

[blazing mica]

This might be barely possible

Wait does campaign count?

If I don't use the tech tree

[arctic kite]

Doesn't count if the level is fairly easy or cheesable

[blazing mica]

MF that's LITERALLY the only way to beat this challenge

Everything else is quite literally impossible

There is one specific level and one specific strat to beat it, other than that, impossible

[arctic kite]

also, forgot to mention-
you can have as many units as you want in your deck, but you must only have 3 trained units in-match.

[arctic kite]

fine

campaign is allowed

[blazing mica]

I think there's another strat too actually

Just hard to pull off

I might be able to cheese this with 3 merics and shield spam

But I can't deal with the damn spears

I'll try magispam again

The closest I'm getting is with magispam but that just isn't enough

Actually

I could cheese this challenge with one specific level...

But nah, that specific level can be beaten so easily that it'd be considered as cheating

[arctic kite]

just do it

i will review

[blazing mica]

Do it on a level that can be beaten by literally just garrisoning?

Seriously

I can beat the level by just garrisoning and letting CA do the work

–_–

[arctic kite]

@blazing mica try monstrosity

[blazing mica]

Why

[arctic kite]

use juggerknight, riprider and egiant

i think

that's my strat

you get lots of gold

lots of miners

[blazing mica]

Ah yes, because 3 egiants for the entire match will totally be able to beat an entire army of overbuffed cgiants

Using melee in this is literally suicide

[arctic kite]

uc is usable

i just uc riprider and distract the overbuffee cgiants

[blazing mica]

You don't have enough CA and it that ripp dies, you're not getting it back

[arctic kite]

what if my egiants throw the boulders on the cgiants

[blazing mica]

Not enough DPS

[arctic kite]

hmm

[blazing mica]

You only have 3 units and can't replace them if they die

[arctic kite]

eclipsors?

[blazing mica]

How tf do you plan on beating an entire army of cgiants with 3 eclipsors and 4 miners that you can't replace

[arctic kite]

uhh

idk

but it's definitely possible

on normal ofc

i tried

and failed

these stupid deads are in the way

[blazing mica]

Normal diff shouldn't even be considered

[arctic kite]

lol

why do you want to try this on insane anyway

are you secretly a gm?

[blazing mica]

Uh, it isn't a secret

[arctic kite]

wait whaa

are you actually a gm

[blazing mica]

Spas said I was 2050 level a few months ago and Jenny (who probably genuinely wants me to suffer) said I was 2K level

And at one point I had 2 accounts in the top 100

[arctic kite]

crazy

i wish i was 2k level

[sleek tinsel]

the part thats hard is no generals, I've done this with a single general but idk about doing it without, I still think its possible with rip +2 egiants but it might need to just be rips. the problem w/giants is gar trick is annoying and you have to kill enemy eco super early and keep it dead. meric pre 1min rip into meric might work as well

[sleek tinsel]

campaign is too easy so I've been working on how to with order empire proving ground, its definately possible with archer + rip, got them to gar pretty easily.

• archer harrass and keep eg army count low
• rip to focus miners down
• step3 in progress
• step4 win

alternatively could probably go eclipsor over archer tbh and just focus down archers/ miners . maybe build egiants for other units for defense idk

[blazing mica]

You only get 3 units max and you can't replace them if they die

[sleek tinsel]

yeah hence range is very powerful, rips are prefered tank imo because cgiant lacks tankiness without mono

also if you over extend, rips can retreat and garr trick to heal back whole cgiants take like a minute just to retreat

i was thinking about the possibilities of eco sniping with tdead but if the opponent atks its gg

[blazing mica]

This is just not possible

It's not just early-mid power that's necessary, but late-game power too

The only units that could do this are giants and magikill since they're high power units

[sleek tinsel]

no, giants and magikill dont have the power without enchants

i already tested them lol

[blazing mica]

They do, also enchantments are allowed

[sleek tinsel]

wait wut i mean if enchants are allowed this is a cake walk lol

i was trying to do it with no enchants either

even if no spawnimg enchants, can basically solo insane AI with 1 cw rip/archer

[blazing mica]

How?

Btw mythics aren't allowed

You have no eco

You can only have 3 units

And you can't use spells or upgrades

[sleek tinsel]

thats prob why i read as no enchants lol

cause with mythics totally possible but without idk

but eco isnt really a concern cause after you get those 3 units, you could basically sac miners lol

[blazing mica]

Why would you sac the starting miners tho

You could get upgrades to make the units stronger and use them for CA

[arctic kite]

i might just update this cover image

new edit

[blazing mica]

I completed this on grave peril, will it count?

[arctic kite]

did you record it?

[blazing mica]

#self-promo message

[arctic kite]

what diff is this

[blazing mica]

Insane

[arctic kite]

dude

that is insane

never thought someone would actually beat this

[arctic kite]

thought the only problem is that you use those red spell thingy enchantments i dont know their names

which isn't allowed

but i would count it anyway

[blazing mica]

????

Bruh

When did you change it to not allow enchantments

[arctic kite]

when i said new edit i edited it right after i sent that messagw

but this still counts as a completion

[blazing mica]

Yay

[arctic kite]

although, i could've disqualified this completion for 1 particular rule

"No Generals."

[blazing mica]

That's why I asked if it counted

[arctic kite]

you used a general in this, but there is an exception

[blazing mica]

Technically I didn't have. A general

No generals in deck

[arctic kite]

no generals in-game-

but

since your general was like a starting miner

spawned in like those 2 starting miners

you didnt train it

so

your completion counts

congratulations!

[sleek tinsel]

TP to top,
yeah enchants only ever been avail for high elo. I do recommend making a list of which campaign/daily missions are allowed vs not allowed (though they should be pretty obvious) course reformatting rules would make it simpler for anyone new to post

[rain sandal]

seem like if he tried to friendly 1v1 I will make him suffer more

[rotund geode]

i am a bit busy with work this week, so i will edit this to make it easier to read for anybody new to this post, i haven't really beaten everything in the SW series, only beaten SWS and SWL's campaigns on normal. though, i would try and search some campaign or daily missions that are way easy or cheesable that are banned in this challenge, once i have free time i will edit this post again, i wont expect anybody to do something related to this challenge. - s750

[nimble siren]

Hello everyone, do you think they will appear as a general in some updates?

[rain sandal]

yes

btw #game-discussion or #stick-war-saga

[sleek tinsel]

I think I figured out how to do this but not 100% sure, is monstrosity allowed or do the 2 extra starting miners= -2?

[viscid wharf]

Pretty doable in monstrosity level. Don't see how it's possible in any other tho

Hmm wait I forgot campaign

[exotic widget]

Dead and jug ambush mission is easiest to accomplish

[arctic kite]

yes, ofc monstrosity is allowed
and the 2 starting miners don't count
