RE: SIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Another endless victory.
Thanks to ILA's strategic use of void walls and tar, smaller enemies and even some ogres and trolls were thinned out effectively. Also, a great problem in endless are the veritable oceans of earth lords, which we neutered with ice vents, the ice amulet, and haymakers.
Clarification:
Void walls are large traps you put on walls. They instantly kill anything thrown into them. They also have other advantages, such as coin and potion generation. They're "passive" traps, meaning that you have to use another trap to propel the orcs into them. Spring traps worked beauitfully for this.
Earth lords are special monsters made of, uhm, earth. They're resistant to pretty much everything except explosive and ice damage. The main problem with earth lords, though, is that when you "kill" them, they break into two earth elementals at full health. So you have to "kill" them too, which causes them to break into two "earthlings" or "baby" earth elementals. The earthlings are the real pain because you have four of them (by now) very near your rift. Ice and simultaneous pounding damage is the best way to break these cheating scum monsters down quickly.
