TBS Fantasy General II by Slitherine Games

Idk, maybe you just haven't yet gotten gud enough my dude?
By applying some tactical savescumming i managed to win this mission without any summons
[/spoiler]

I doubt that, optimal play on my part.
How many units were you facing, how much money did you lose?
Also, by tactical savescumming you mean reload a turn? Thats disgusting! Worse than spamming summons.

I lost about as much as i gained i think, was left with 200 gold at the end of the mission, enough to buy trolls.
Doesn't matter though, the next missons have so much loot that i'm now swimming in gold, armor and weapons and have nowhere to spend them, only lack that magical resource now.
Yup. Well yeah, i cannot resist the urge to savescum now and then.

And yet SigitheBack ,melee units are garbage and get melted in a turn.

They buffed the berserkers with "-100% chance to suffer kills" in a patch so now they are very strong. Only troll chargers & armored trolls are superior imo.

Dunno how one would deal with enemy heavy infantry with shields covered by longbowmen\armored slingers whithout the melee units.

 

[Alpharius]

Just got totally rekt on the Krell's tower map. Fuck the swamp dragons.

Spoiler

Btw also noticed that if you are not at supply limit, the netural units will some times join you when exploring camps, ruins etc. Got some bowmen and peltasts that way, cant upgrade them though, so not really worth it i guess, unless you're low on money.

Also wanted to try and play some MP, seeing as there should be at least some players this close after release, but there were 0 games hosted.
Created one, so any codexian brother is welcome to join and get his ass handed to him.

How do you fix the music from being retarded in Fantasy General 1 (gog)?

its fucking fucked

the tracks shuffle every couple seconds, the only one I can hear start to finish is the Christmas hymn, which is godlike, but annoying after repeated playing

Music files it plays are fucked. They're in game's data/MUSIC/ folder. They start few seconds too late and then include few seconds of the next track.
There's working ones in the soundtrack in GOG extras, but you need to (probably) convert them from mp3 to ogg and rename them. ('Fantasy General OST - Track 06.mp3' -> 'Track07.ogg' and so on)

Managed to keep Frenzy going on main Hero for the whole map of Krells Landing. Game display is bugging out.

Spoiler

Ending screen, 55 dmg to 176 on hammer only, lol

I was kidding when I said that enemy archers heal my heavy axemen with arrows...
But... it actually works xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

This is some kind of bug imo, it did actually heal the troll for 14 hp but its not about armor.

 

[SigitheBack]

What does this item do?

 

[Alpharius]

What does this item do?

No idea, i've also found some letters at the gap map(or the next one?) about some dude stealing the chieftain's armor and hiding it somewhere, and there also a letter with a riddle in the sunken lands 2nd map, which i wasn't able to figure out.

I made my own DOSBOX setup of the game years ago from the original CD (very first PC game I ever bought, btw). Works perfect should anyone need.

Otherwise, I imagine the CUE file for the GOG version was simply set up wrong - would explain the tracks being off. I don't own the GOG version, but I could fix the CUE file for you if you messaged it to me.

 

[RNGsus]

There is no cue sheet. Maybe that's the problem?

Right, GOG has it's own naming convention. Look for a .INS file - that is the CUE sheet.

 

[RNGsus]

Here it is.

 

[Eirinjas]

Here it is.

Yea, the GOG Cue was wrong. Let me know how you fair with this.

Well, now its asking for the cd.

Try this one. Let me know.

Perfect.

Played the first 5-6 missions of this. It's a nothing game. Also I'm at a complete loss as to what points to this being a Fantasy General sequel.

 

[zapotec]

A nothing game? What you mean?

 

[Jimmious]

He didn't like it

 

[Galdred]

A nothing game? What you mean?

Probably that it qualifies neither as an RPG, neither as a strategic game.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

What I mean is that it's so soulless, empty and devoid of any creativity that I cannot even muster any longer comment about it. Also, its price is a complete joke, even on a Slitherine scale.

When even turn-based hex wargames have limited availability seasonal events... I still had the game at the back of my mind for sales, but now they can go f**k themselves.

It'll probably show up every Christmas

I am not sure I would feel like missiong out if I couldn't get the christmas event...

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Another proof that they understand the source material well, original FG was all about the Christmas spirit.
