KickStarter Lords of Xulima

[T. Reich]

Oh, right, my bad. I didn't remember that it was only a deluxe edition option.
Well, there's always Google .

 

[V_K]

There are quite a few absolutely free community guides on the steam page anyway.

 

[Whisper]

If you want to play on highest lvl difficulty, i strongly recommend to have written beforehand what skills you going to max each lvl up for every character.

MEGA UPDATE: Workshop and much more!
13 NOVEMBER - NUMANTIAN GAMES
Welcome to Lords of Xulima V.2.0!

To celebrate the first anniversary of Lords of Xulima, we have released a major update with a lot of new things.

The Workshop

Finally, the Workshop is available. With the Workshop, you can create your own mods for the game in which you can change the rule set system to create a unique experience or simply to improve the original game to your taste.

We have created a specific application, the Lox Editor[www.lordsofxulima.com]. With this tool, you can change the global parameters of the game, the encounters, monsters, skill, classes, treasures... in a very easy way. Then you can publish your mods so other users can try your version of LoX.


Players can easily manage the mods and activate them from inside the main game menu. First, subscribe to the ones you like in the Workshop page of LoX and then you can activate them directly from the game.

You now have three Mods available: "No Random Encounters Edition" (created by the Team), "The Deepest Dark" by the user Celerity and the "Streamlined Edition" by Valadurs Erbe. Hope you enjoy them!

Improved Game Balance

For the new version, we have tweaked a bit the difficulty levels to achieve a better overall balance. The treasures are now better and the bosses from the mid-end part of the game are now more challenging. The Normal version is a bit harder. Also, the resistances are capped at 90 as many features of the game were broken when you got immunity to certain types of damage.

New Wallpaper and Portrait for Gaulen

Our friend and great illustrator Nicole Cadet [www.nicolecadet.com]has created a new portrait for Gaulen which you can see in the game. There is also an awesome new wallpaper. The HD version is included in the Deluxe Edition. Surely the scene represented is very familiar to you ;o).

New Main Theme

Our composer Nicolas de Ferran has recorded again the main theme with the Russian violinist Maria Grigoryeva playing the Solo Violin. The main theme of LoX is now more beautiful than ever.

And that's all. We really hope you enjoy the Workshop. Playing the new mods can be a new original experience, providing you the perfect excuse to replay Lords of Xulima.

Although we are working on more projects, like the consoles porting of Lords of Xulima and a new very secret game, we will continue working to improve our beloved old-school RPG.

Thank you very much for your great support and see you soon!

Right, first thing to do is replace the Galen bloke.

Nooooo! Muh lava-walking!

 

[Anthedon]

Obligatory, when will the GoG version get the update and how will mods work?

The No Random Encounters one sounds cool. No trash mobs and increased rewards from the hand placed fights instead.

 

[RuySan]

This game would have been perfect if not for the hp bloat near the end. Even so, it's a very enjoyable experience,and I loved the colourful graphics that reminded me of might and magic.

Next games of this developer are going to be day 1 purchases for sure.

 

[Cadmus]

Dang that main theme update rocks!

 

[Anthedon]

GoG update coming in about a week and a half.

[Anthedon]

Patch 2.0.4 is now live on GoG.

 

[Celerity]

Designing a good game:

Make the difficulty at least somewhat high.
Still have more than one solution for any given problem.
Make Darth Roxor ragequit early on as a result of an early game intelligence check.

 

[Darth Roxor]

ur pretty mouthy for a newfag m8

 

[Celerity]

It's funny though. This is like the fourth or fifth thread I've seen you complaining about any mechanic that provides any form of resistance or requires any form of intelligence. Cursed Hounds are not even a very good example of this because as long as your backrow can't die from one Lightning the risk level in an encounter with them is very low. And that's a baseline you can hit with base Con and a 24 hour buff so it's not even as if you can gimp yourself out of it.

Mostly it's funny because every game I've seen you rage about is one I'd praise for the exact same reasons. I should just creep out and stalk you so I can find all the awesome games I missed.

 

[Darth Roxor]

ur very observant

i recommend arcania: gothic 4 it was also a game i disliked but you might find it awesome

im sure there's lots of resistance and intelligence there to keep you entertained

 

[Celerity]

So for anyone interested in this game who has some balls (or iron boobs, this is an equal opportunity difficulty mod):

[Ludo Lense]

Well decided to finally give this a spin since it was rotting in my library for quite some time.

(The amount of proper nouns this game throws at you during the first 5 minutes is absurd)

 

[Celerity]

What difficulty?

Edit: Considering doing a modded LP if there's interest in seeing me fail spectacularly.

Reroll with a cleric before it's too late.

Lemme guess....you have 9 classes to choose from but some classes are more equal than others.

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, Paladin auras are fucking useless, and the game DEMANDS a dedicated healer, since most fights eventually devolve into attrition wars.

Xulima is a decent game, but I wish they had made a great 15-20 hour RPG, instead of a 100+ hours monstrosity that makes you beg for the sweet release of death and boredom-quit just by reading you still need to cleanse ANOTHER temple, dethrone ANOTHER prince, grab ANOTHER artifact, kill ANOTHER witch....

 

[Bubbles]

Yes. Priests are the only class you really need to have, but having a frontline consisting entirely of mace wielding soldiers is also quite OP (permastun lots of the tougher enemies, cut through trash mobs much faster with powerful strike + rest spam). In general, while Paladin/Bard will be mildly helpful throughout the game, you might have more fun with a strong offensive frontline (soldiers/barbarians, maybe a rogue for variety) to make the trash mob fights as breezy as possible.

And yeah... I got a good 40 hours out of the game before I got bored, but it's definitely too long.

I can't echo this sentiment strongly enough.

 

[Celerity]

Again, what difficulty? If it's not Hardcore Ironman you can completely ignore Clerics (and Thieves, and anything else mandatory). If it is... you still can, if you buy some potions. With the defense aura physical attacks will deal no damage, and with stacked resists magical attacks will also do no damage.

 

[Anthedon]

Put some points into Shurikens with your thief, the bleed is pretty strong. Same goes for swords. I've won quite a few of the harder fights by applying bleed and then just tank/heal until the enemy dies.
