Awesome post!! I especially like the insights in the post and seeing how someone else plays the game a bit. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to get through Narvidian Dawn with that squad? It's such a tough campaign that I usually spend a lot more time than you did just prepping my squad for it. I still tend to lose a couple by the end of it though.

It's such a tough campaign that I usually spend a lot more time than you did just prepping my squad for it. I still tend to lose a couple by the end of it though. That particular squad played Narvidian Dawn first. This is very difficult -- only a few of the new game squads can actually do it. It helps that I created the maps, know the location of every secret and the spawn rate and start times on the monster generators. Even with all of that, it's still incredibly hard for a new squad ... but you know, I like to die  Edit -- also, what you don't see in the Prestige calculator is the fact that I started a Battleforce and finished a squad of 5... |

Jesus, that is pretty good. I have a hard time getting my advanced squads through Narvidian Dawn. You're a beast, Cory!
Were you able to get through the entire campaign with just the one squad, you didn't have to remake the squad at all? I mean, I would expect a lot of loses and false starts, getting most of the way through the campaign only to be stuck with my captain and one scout left before realizing it was a doomed attempt.

Yeah, this one got screenshots and blog posts because they made it ... with only 11 losses. At least one level cost me 3 Templars. |

Haha well, still very impressive. Last squad I took through Narvidian Dawn was relatively well kitted, not anything amazing but everyone was out of stock gear. They made it through on Brutal, but I think I lost something like 6-7 Templars before the end. I can't imagine taking a squad of totally green, totally stock Templars through the campaign.
You know what... I know what I'm going to try next time I find myself sitting around the house for a couple hours with nothing to do XD

johndramey - don't underestimate the value in that he made the maps and knows every secret At least the Honor rewards in ND are pretty strong and you could upgrade gear at a decent pace.
