A Faction Map Win with Blatant Holes in Gear

[dietonight]

First win over a faction map NPC without pushing the limits of my gear.

2 max red mounts (Dionysus and Atelante), 1 max red + 2 max yellow armors (Atelante with the red, Hermes and Dionysus with the yellows), 1 (G6)6 red (Dionysus) + 1 (G6)7 yellow weapon (Atelante), 1 max red (Atelante) + 1 max yellow cloak (Dionysus), 1 (G6)7 white horn + 1 (G6)7 green book for Atelante. But after that, all gear is either nonexistent or severely underenhanced. Hermes had only a (G1)1 yellow weapon. Eris was wearing a (G4)4 yellow cloak; Hermes and Lachesis were wearing (G1)1 yellow cloaks. Eris and Lachesis didn't even have armor.

Took a LOT of tries (probably on the order of a hundred or so). Prestige at M43.

That's all for the forseeable future. Tantalos is obviously just too powerful, while Epimetheus has a water mage hiding behind a cyclops' armored chariot that I just don't have a means of reaching.

Gear is considerably more mature now though. Two red mounts (oops, gave one to Geras instead of Hermes on the Electra fight), one red weapon, 3 red + 2 yellow cloaks. Only major hole is armor: One maxed red, second red 9 enhances from max, 2 yellows and one hero with no armor at all. Prestige at M47.

Palaemon: b23.clapalong.com/?fid=N201305272750115

2nd red armor upgraded to (G6)6 for Epimetheus, (G6)7 for Palaemon. M47

This is the end, and I really mean it this time because Tantalos and Aphrodite are both way overpowered.
