Wow, this is amazing!
I would also like to add that a few days ago on the Discord, a challenge was posted as follows:
- Play a High Anarchy Helot
- Have > 75 in Ruthless, Skeptical, and Homelander
- Defeat the Archon’s Army with all lieutenants alive
Two people successfully completed the challenge, myself and Ledd. I took the strategy in my Steam guide and adapted it to a Skeptical run by changing a Breden recruitment run to a Radmar one to compensate for losing Eclect’s loyalty bonus, and made some edits to get over 75 in all stats (Skeptical is hardmode!).
Ledd played and posted a entirely different strategy for Acts 2 and 3. I wonder how he arrived at it, whether he drafted it from scratch or adapted an existing run.
I think it’s a testament to how amazing XoR is that two players can independently evolve diverse strategies to complete a challenge, and still come away with different stories (I ran a despotic rebellion, he formed the Moot and attacked Hector.)
