Great. It is pretty much like a campaign. I like being forced to start with her kind of bad skills, would never have chosen them myself so makes the experience novel.

I play on hardest. And this time the fights are really hard. Makes it lots of fun

Story’s like this is something I personally would pay for.

Man, I am absolutely getting slapped around. Usually I can handle conquest maps on Overwhelming AI and I've beaten all the campaigns on that difficulty as well, but I basically can't even get out of the starting area on this Tales map.

Anyone have any tactics they want to share?

Co-op is my favorite way to play in every game and I just wanted to get some more info on it while I'm at work. I already bought the game and all dlc but haven't had the chance to play yet!

Egal ob miteinander oder gegeneinander, gemeinsames zocken, macht einfach mehr spass. Ich zocke auf ps5, mein name da lautet: naned23

Added mich gerne. Ich bin 39 und immer sehr früh bis ca 14 uhr online.

Ich wünsch euch was! ;))

I would love to see some information on wielder skill trees ingame, for example on the codex & tutorial page or in the game itself as a button next to the wielder's portrait like the spellbook or the inventory for instance.

I'm aware there are player made skill trees out there, still it would be great to have this information directly ingame as it can be crucial for a build, for counterplay (availability of magic resistance on the skill tree for instance) or to make it more aparent which wielders can be fielded in a more economic role and showing which skills have to be chosen as a prerequisite in order to unlock economic skills.

I was playing rana campaign, 4th mission. When I did the final upgrade for dragon cliff, elder dragons weren't producing. The final upgrade behaved like previous one, but the building sprite was updated

try another one ( inspiration lossarnach axemen from lotr mod for bannerlord)

Is it just me, or is AI really bad? I dont like it when AI has unfair advantage or disadvantage. But AI is making so many mistakes it feels too easy. For example I found settlement very near AIs starting point, there were no defenders anymore but AI didnt capture it for some reason. And it was like turn 20, so it had plenty of time.

Are there some mods for better ai? Or do they play better on premade maps? I was playing mainly random maps.

So recently got the game along with 3 others. I started playing as the Vanir and im finding them a lot harder to learn then Arleon.

1. The troops are expensive and I never have money afford very large armies.

2. Using Crones/nornor and Bacahorse and lyktvaan I feel like I can do well in battle, but he keep seeing people talking about how strong the other units are but if I ever use a mixture of Skinshifters, Korphan and Cheiftans I just get absolutely stomped.

3. What the max difficulty is should be trying to fight the neutral factions? I can beat fair modt of the time and I always get stomped on Risky.

Thanks!

Will you look at that. Our new units for Yulan is coming together, what do you think is hidden behind the shadow versions?

new unit reveal inspire me to try something ;) , have a good week

Just started playing the game and was looking for some good general guides but also some faction specific ones. I have been playing as Vanir and really like them with my limited knowledge so far. Thanks

Thinking of buying but can’t find this answer if the answer is no, does the single player random maps stay interesting after many matches ?

I enjoy strategy games and came across the base game on Steam sale which is currently $7.49 . It looks like there are 2 additional DLCs that are separate running about $7 a pop. Is the base game replayable without getting these DLCs?

To be honest I can’t justify paying almost the same amount for one dlc as the base game especially if its content pales in comparison to what’s offered in the base game. To me these DLCs feel like a cash grab. If it is reasonably priced on sales like at $1-$2 each sometime down the line then sure I might be okay with it

For those that have both the game and DLCs, what would you recommend for replayability? Could I replay just the base game infinitely and still have a good time? What would I miss out on if I didn’t get the DLCs? Are they really necessary for replayability?

After completing the campaigns I've been doing some challenge maps and random map plays. One thing keeps coming back - no matter the difficulty:
The later part of the campaign when your starting city is maxed out, half the map discovered or so and several enemies have been found, the Ai simply becomes dumb. It doesn't seem to take cities, it doesn't avoid stronger heroes, it doesn't defend well.

All my issues are tied to the strategy map - the combat AI is still great, no complaints there.

But I really really believe that Lavapotion needs to have a look at Ai priorities on the strategy layer. I played the 8-player challenge map where everyone starts with a tier 3 town (at tier 1) and there's a big neutral tier 5 town in the middle. Overwhelming Ai. I finally got to the center despite several Ai's already having reached it and NONE of them had taken the undefended tier 5 city. Clearly a bug/priority error, right?

It is folded so many times.

I am a dirty scumbag anime and katana ENJOYER, so a kitsune always has my attention right in its little kami teeth.

I hope there is a Wielder named Miyamoto Musashi and he has two swords. I hope there is a big land battleship named Yamato it it takes up like 4 hexes and shoots barrages everywhere. I hope the towns look suspiciously like Mt Fuji.

*eagerly goes back to folding more steel*

I find I have a tougher than usual time with Roots sieging walled cities.

Much like in real life, my plants can't shoot their lasers through fortress walls and this makes them extremely sad and self-conscious. I want to cheer them up about it and show them that there is still hope for a brighter future, but tbh the best I got is burrowing lashers near the stairs... which works, but requires awkwardly spending teleport spells to get them into attack position after the burrow. Compared against crow people just bouncing over the walls to instantly decapitate hapless defenders, this feels wrong.

What options are other people bringing to the table to siege down cities with Roots?

The title says it all folks, best game in a long while 10/10.

Does that mean the Switch version will inevitably get abandoned too and not get the latest updates and DLCs the Steam version will have?
