Who else plays this gem and what are some builds you recommend?

>> No.5390234

Haven't played it in years but without doubt a top 10 game of all time. OF ALL TIME.

As for strategy, warlord + white magic + halfling slingers. Niggas gonna get stomped.

I usually did White Red

It's fun but way too easy.

agree, first time i played this, i steamrolled everything with paladins despite having no idea what i was doing. maybe i was just lucky

Just enchant paladins as a unit if you don't go the enchanted heroes/champions route.

alchemy warlord lizardmen will overrun the world, makes for interesting times when the only thing you can conquer nearby are other unga bunga races and have to assault advanced tech computer ones.

Yeah the game is pretty easy, enemies are rarely aggressive enough and they suck at maneuvering in the manual battles. But it's still a fun game if only because of all the choices you get.

get the 1.50 patch (unofficial but only bug fixes and improved AI) and try to beat on the hardest.

It's gay AF since it straight up cheats with gold and mana, they swarm so fast and feels like they always know your position

>> No.5395191

>>5393040
So, avoid the 1.50 patch if you just wanna have a good time?

>> No.5396584

>>5391692
agreed, you can build some fucking broken ass shit and just wreck the whole world with a single unit.

it's pretty fun

it's beatable, but chaos have always been broken and is even more exploited by the newer AI, so you just have to take care for AI not to abuse it too hard and abuse before it does.

But seriously, if you're playing without chaos and Tauron or Sharee is your opponent, just get ready for them to wipe out everyone else and overwhelm you with their summons.

I just wish there was a mod to allow you to pick the opponents and edit the game world.

What happened to that one project to add multiplayer? Going up against another person would be a huge improvement

that is unfortunate, the channel/conjurer combo really benefits from myrror races but taking -6 spellbooks really interferes with getting a good summon

You could always savescum when hitting Myrran dens/ruins/temples/etc., in the hopes of getting extra spellbooks. IIRC they're relatively common.

IIRC if just pick Tauron portrait the AI will not select him.

Shadow Demons has Weapon Immunity but Warship has 10 melee and range attack, so it's no problem. Shadow Demons are slow so once they're out of ammo, the Warship can outrun them and pelt them from distance. They have regeneration so it could take a long time to kill them.

Wraiths has Weapon Immunity same with Shadow Demons. They are melee only and a bit faster, but Warship can still outrun them. Their Life Stealing attack can be a problem.

All undeads have Illusion Immunity so Invisibility is useless against them.

that isn't quite as good since you can just not get the places your spellbooks drop from, the specific ones you want can be pretty rare.

Lots of fond childhood memories but the more recent plays are just a slugfest against all range-spamming AIs. Them attempting to snipe your weakest hero down in every battle is just boring.

Does anybody ever build fantastic stables? I find them to be overly expensive and the units they produce are underwhelming. I guess flight offers some cheese potential but I'll usually have summons that can do this before I get the f.stables.

>> No.5404240

if for some reason I am orcs I will get it in there every game but for everyone else I will usually just transport dudes and possibly build a settlement on the island itself to pump out reinforcements if needed.

That 40% mana reduction when you go all-in really narrows the field of viable combos.

That said: rune master + artificer is GOAT.

In earlier version of the game, Paladins were broken and invulnerable to almost everything except very powerful non-magic units like leveled-up pikeman and slingers.
