Got the game 3 years ago, 150hrs steam record, finnally meet a purge. It wass great, love how they destroy my 2nd base and destroy everything valueable I have. My T4 blacksmith, my steel bar, my steel and iron reinforcement, my silk, my brick, my every cup of berry juice, everything I care enough to transfer to that 2nd base from my initial humble homested in southern river bank.
They were a bunch of cultists. Their archers are as tough as Kappa King which is rediculous. Yet still I manage to kill 3 of them with my T3 bearer tank and countless tactical retreat. Ironically, since my 2nd base was next to Kappa King for thick hide harvesting, I tried to lure the wild Kappa King to my base to aid the defense, but the cultists have too many 2-leg-kappa-king archers, and I couldn’t kill them quickly enough at all.
My defense was weak. Only 1 lvl11 T3 fighter, about 2500hp. She was down in the first 2 minutes after the engagement. She was surrounded, trying hard with her iron war axe to gain ground. But those 2-leg-kappa-king cultist archers are not only tough to kill, they also hitting hard. Her stygian raider armor was no match to the rain of death. I don’t even know her name, nor her origin, only Figther III, but I do remember the glorious days I spent with her, about how we kill kappa, lizard, spider, pirates, cannibals together, and how we capture some of them. It was she helped me captured the companion I travel with nowaday, the Bearer III, who I also don’t know the name, nor origin. She will be missed.
The cannibal Dancer II was gone as well. She was only lvl 1, and was told to be passive, to prevent her accidently join the kappa king hunting again. At least it was quick. There was another guard, Hyrkanian Figher I, lvl 7, wearing pirate armor set to cover her 2 gorgous assets. She was guarding 2nd floor by the time cultists arrived. I don’t know what became to her, but by the next day, the whole base was perished.
The land of exiles is a strange place, it told me I defeated the purge as I survived it, in a suddon all remaining cultists retreated and disappeared. But there was nothing left. Except me, and my lvl19 11kHP Bearer III, who had only 3k hp left. I returned to my humble start-over-home, defeated, seeing no improved forge, no improved armor bench, no improved potion bench, no double bed, no iron chests. But the wheels of pain are still spinning. Oh yes yes! The wheels of pain.
