Oh and I had massive fps drops on certain maps with SAO,HDR,AAx4. Like the Emperor map for example. Havent looked further into it. Gtx460, latest driver. The mouse seems to stop being a hardware mouse in the inventory too...

We have some serious business here. O_O

Anyway, I just beat party game with Charisma 8, with a crossbow. Crossbows were good early on, but in the end were lacking in damage per turn.
Roxana did half the job, kudos to her

there is no place to hide from stronk wymen ahhhh :eek:

Anyway, this time I saw that sadly for me Ironman is most likely impossible, because I did a lot of stupid mistakes, because of my health I think.

Difficult fights were - Barca, meeting team right after that, third river fight, Reinard, construct fights, especially famous dude with two shields, Enforcer, Scaurus.
None of them required more then 3-4 attempt, and most of them due my stupid mistakes.
Pics.

Ant queen. Easy-peasy.


River fight. Didn't get that I could fight around corner.


After Heiron's giftt, everything went smoothly.


Marcus too has his moments.


Well, it's time for Roxana. ))


Never noticed before that pose at anybody another.


Also, bonus - have you noticed that Roxana's body covered with scars? )


Last moments of last fight. They scratched Marcus, bastards!

I would also like to see an option to use the "medical machine" on your companions. It would be nice to boost the stats for yngvar for example, giving him more constiution. It would be a nice addition, when your main character is not a combat one, and doesnt need stat boosts.

Why do you carry so much crossbows? Well i never tried that, but is it possible to switch crossbows during fight? That would be very OP, i could bring lots of crossbows, and instead of reloading them, i would just switch to a new one, firing bolts, and just rinse and repeat that.

From my post on Iron Tower forum:

Is it possible to use the machine on one of the followers? A 10 CHA guy wouldn't benefit much from such a machine, his followers are another matter though (Yngvar or Marcus).

How i can give you a "brofist"?
I don't think you can, you need to be here a year or something like it. And it's no problem, I also wanted it but considering the amount of time it would take to implement it's not worth the effort.

Edit:

1. Bro-fisting: You may see "User XYZ brofists this" underneath posts from time to time. It's our form of "like". Because we're a prestigious and exclusive bunch, you will only be able to brofist posts once you have been a member for 12 months or more.

Oh yeah, I got to the next camp with the guy fighting scorpions. I let him die and finished them off.

One thing I would like to see is a bigger battle like the Hundred Swords battle in AoD. It would be cool if the final fight was the PC and all remaining companions versus 25-30 (or more?) Aurelians all at the same time.

I liked the sarcastic [solo] dialogue when you turn down potential party members. Duly noted...

That and the Heran's pass defense was epic.

When do the devs intend to fix bugs? There's some annoying ones, like being unable to attack enemies after knocking them down with a bomb while they're next to a wall, and the turn simply freezing after throwing something in certain tiles and the item thrown(bomb, liquid fire etc...) not working. I wouldn't complain if these bugs didn't affect gameplay in some way, but they clearly do. I just lost a battle against 4 black scolopendras that was about to end because of them and I wasn't happy about that.

You need to report these bugs (with steps to reproduce them) and/or provide a save for them and send it to info@irontowerstudio.com
In general the best place to report issues is iron tower forum.

Can you email us the screens showing which tiles are causing problems and the step by step instructions?

Seems to be random. I threw a bomb before in that tile and it worked fine, but then when I did it a second time, turn was frozen and when it came back it was like I hadn't thrown the bomb even though it cost me AP and the item. In that same battle I threw a bomb next to a black scolopendra and it knocked her onto the wall and I couldn't hit her. I reloaded, did the same thing again but with no issues this time. It was in the battle against the 4 black scolopendras after the last fight in the tunnels against the big guy with the steel warhammer and greek name(can't remember his name). I don't have the save anymore, it's just been overwritten. I have the save after the fight only if it's of any use. Was playing solo if that makes any difference.

I can confirm that in battle with 4 scolopendras there are problems when throwing liquid fire vial in certain situation (It is thrown on wrong tile). I think I will be able to send screens later.

Took some screenshots after the fight pointing the tiles as I don't have the battle save anymore.

The tile the mouse pointer is hovering on is where turn was frozen after I threw a bomb:

2016_11_14_1.png



This one is where I couldn't attack the knocked down black scolopendra after I threw a bomb next to her:

2016_11_14.png


Those tiles are south of the crossroads where the Black scolopendra fight starts.


This happened before in one or two fights aswell IIRC. Only one I can remember is the one with 3 flowers and a black scolopendra. Turn was frozen when I threw liquid fire next to the first plant to the right when facing north, but I didn't bother that time as it was aciddental.

The liquid fire vial throwing problem were most likely due to the fact that the throw was a 'miss'. I'm not sure if I can reproduce it, since it happened mostly on Reinard fight and iirc it happened once again later on but I forgot when. I thought the game froze for real, but I tried waiting for few more seconds and then the description box called the throw a 'miss', and I can finally do something again.

VD, my bad, I pointed the wrong tiles. I realized I still had a save before that fight and started it again to take the screenshots. These are the correct tiles:

Frozen turn:

Non-"attackable" knocked down black scolopendra:
2016_11_14_7.png


I'm pretty sure it happened on the north road, not the south one, but I'm not 100% positive on this. Either way, the position in relation to where the character is standing is correct. I just can't remember exactly if it was right or left wall and north or south road.

If you have a save send it to them, surely it will be much more helpful than screens.
