Hey Zaraphael
Two on one was reallly easy. I went against Gemmory and Selena and used a yellow/blue deck chock full of Yetis, Dhampirs, Icicles, Elves, Nymphs and Storm Giants. It was a bit slow and torturous as first as Gemmory is prone to throw as many spells on you as possible, so I also included some Rusts and Ruins for fun. I was under about 1000 for the first 20 or 30 rounds, but I finally got to place a Dhampir on one of their chained green territories and everytime I walked past it or landed on a tower, I let him run rampant killing green creatures. All the while, I had my blue and yellow land slowly but surely levelling up and to ensure victory, placed a Kelpie on a level 5 land. Over in no time.
The 3 on 1 I havent obtained- I tried a few times, but damn its frustrating to have three opponents! No matter how you choose, you always have a huge disadvantage. I tried Selena, Luthien and Mullyn- big mistake. Good Luck with it though!

The easiest opponents imo are Goligan when using his Idols deck, Zagol who has no spell cards plus when using his Smack You! deck is a total push over, and Aldha who will never attack directly as long as you have defensive items that will neutralize his attack (he will however somtimes place creatures next to your land and attack by moving them). However most importantly for the 3vs1 battle you need the element of luck.

:)It can be a long process but do-able. Now for the 2vs1 I myself found it easy to to confront Selena, and Mullyn. And I used the deck I've posted. Mainly stay defensive because Mullyn hasn't grabbed alot of lands in my games and Selena stays to green, and red lands. So I found them as a team to be a push over with a big board to play on. Now the 3vs1 I added Goligan and did this battle as well as the other at the Heavenly Alter. But I do agree with AkinaSS. There is a strong element of luck. I got a Kelpie,gold idol, land protection, manna, and vestment for my opening draw for the 3vs match. Good luck on these medals.  |

Just got the 3 on 1. You really need a territory where you can mind your business, not pay a lot of tolls and finally spring the trap of your choice. I thought Cratos 2 would do this, but you're always triplely outnumbered in creature ratio- then I looked through the maps and noticed Quanze! It was perfect. I chose Goligan,Mullyn and Whirlwind as my opponents. Loathe as I am to admit it, I used Kelpies and Old Willows- 3 of Each. Some Sinks, Upheavals- 3 Water and Fire Shields, Brass Idol and that Idol that does not allow duplicate monsters to be summoned. About 20 turns in I saw I had 1800 and the trio had about 7600, I had slowly been building up a red land that was occupied by a Wall of Wonder- I switched out for an Old Willow and 25 turns later it was over.

Sad to say I got both these medals using a Kelpie, Only one, but it was enough. 2v1 was easy, got it my first try. 3v1 was a bit more challenging, it took me 3 tries to get that one. Basically I concentrated on the Kelpie and defense. Once I placed the Kelpie I made sure I always had a blue shield, Gaseous form, or Holy Grail to keep me alive.

Need help on the requirements for this medal, please. I beat Zagnol and Pickett last night on the Humongous map. I made those two allies and played solo. I beat them by at least 20,000 points. Why didn't I get the 2-on-1 medal? I didn't use Kelpie or Old Willow - I used Lung and Chimera, Death Gaze (I was going for two medals but it didn't work out right because I only have one DG) - am I supposed to use a particular creature or something? Advice is appreciated. Looking for help on these 2 medals. Any suggestions appreciated. 42 down 8 to go. ;D |

I didn't use Kelpie or Old Willow - I used Lung and Chimera, Death Gaze Lung... Did you use symbols? I think there is a requirement that you can't use symbols. Somebody check me on this. Erik of Ekedahl |

Yes, symbols were definitely the problem here. The medal says "Victory by not having used the symbols in a battle in one-on-two battle."
So you must never own symbols in your match to earn this medal. Clearly if you were using Lung, you had symbols, and that's why you failed to earn the medal.

Thank you. That sounds about right. (I don't have the strategy guide.) This time, I replaced Lung and all the other non-Wind creatures and did almost all-Wind book against Pickett and Selena because they level up so fast - need super-strong creatures like Gouda and First Attacks like Centaur so they don't invade.
Except, I had both Leoknight and Sanctum Guard on board (also Borgess & Archbishop), and one time she won 5 green medals for a defeat - that must have ruined my shot at earning the medal because I won the game, and still no medal. That's an uneasy alliance to beat, too! Everytime you level up, Selena draws a Fog or a Subsidence - tell me the computer is not rigged. Backwards (not to mention Holy Word 1) is really annoying and I don't seem to get my Barriers when I need one. They always wreck the semi-permanent one. Lay down a creature with territory ability and they draw an Ebony Idol and a Cray Idol. Think I'll try out that spell that eliminates all spells if you don't use any yourself.
Next time, I'll take out Sanctum Guard so there's no symbols involved at all. I'm playing at Quanze - without temples.
Beat them by 30,000 hard-earned points. grrr.

Ouch- thats really lame that the Sanctum Guard ruined it- you're choosing a very frustrating alliance too. I can generally handle Selena no problem, but with Pickett- master of levelling lands? Yikes. And of course, Pickett always chooses the worst possible moment to cast Backwards and in addition, their decks compliment each other as Pickett plays with a lot of creatures that give HP and ST bonuses (Coati, MudMan) for every green creature in play and naturally Selena will inundate the board with Dryads, Grimalkins and Woodfolk. For those two, you may want to think about including a Sharazade along with the Archbishop to make sure you can defend against their relentless status-giving effects.
