I also found some in N-W around demons. I got one I needed from some random quest.
Strategy parts are not well done or balanced but I hear on higher difficulty AI is better in tactical. I hope in future they let make tactical tougher without making strategic parts more stupid and boring as well.I started up an impossible run and you start facing enemy 7 stacks immediately - fun guaranteed
I know but I was hoping once I do take him out he stops spamming so many new stacks. Also the Cold War ones are as irritating as they still attack your units and try to take your mines so I want to get rid of that one as well. Last two so far are above Cold War status and I ignore them and avoid them just like they avoid me.
I randomly managed to find a recipe for Keg of Beer or something like that :D But I didn't make it because it would have cost some of my best components. I just wish recipe would write into the list just if you manage to get it as preview and not only once you build one.
I myself didn't really do any scouting, just use heroes+apprentice stacks to clear the map, likely won't cut it on higher difficulties.
You need 5, I guess once you got 4 apprentice you can get 4+1 but you need to do that as last of the 3 goals.
You can buy them from the slaver city in the South-East, or enslave->follower them yourself.
South East is Human town (well more East) and South of that is water and only a few islands. And I didn't run into any T3 beasts to enslave. Also Enslave reduces their stats, I do not want that.
Yea I don't have that spell Follower :D
I'm not sure how much I like the "more hiring locations at the start" thing. Goblins actually have worse stats than other races, so why would you hire them now that you have access to others?
Allfire locations are I think random. One guy on stream didn't have it on same location I have it.
Well that is same as normal potions, only needing to equip on Hero might be a tiny problem, more because than that hero has to move and cast it on unit you want it on which is not a big problem for ranged ones.
You can, but usually it's your hero, that has to equip it and accessing it costs 1 action per potion. Some units can be upgraded to have trinket slots iirc, so that could help.
You get t4 by getting a summon spell that is only on page 4 of a spell schoolCompleted my BalancedAlchemist run. My earlier estimate for weeks was a bit off and in the end I got it done on week 34 with getting a hero to 15, researching spells, and becoming friendly with towns.
I really screwed myself early on and spent probably the first 20 weeks just trying to stabilize, and that was a lot of fun. But once I got going, there was no stopping me.
If they keep working on it, I would like there to be some expanded diplomacy options, moar units, the ability to increase combat difficulty separately from strategic difficulty, no nerfs to many of the OP things out there, and there was something else, but I seem to have forgotten.
Now for a short break and then probably another run as an Artificer. I haven't even touched the Western part of the map, and I still have no idea how you get T4 units - I've only seen two in my game.
that is a bug because its description says they do need that for it to work.
Have same experience, you can cannibalize goblins to heal your undeads or just wait to get the spell researched. Not sure its as powerful as other mage options although , since you could just enchant live units immediately. Game is surprisingly good roguelike 4X mix. Lack of advertising and reviews was criminal.
Started as necro at advenced difficulty. :D Crafting undead is kinda neat, also got some raise dead spells and sacrificing goblin scum for HP regen and raising zombies, all in the name of greater good. Only problem is undead don't regen normally but after some level ups I got magical regen that effects them.
Seems like a mash up AoW, MoM and Kings Bounty right now.
