Fallen Entrantress: Legendary Heroes

I'll believe it when I hear it. Y'know what a tight fisted git he is.

OK it looks like swarm was working after all, but the animations on my particular units weren't easy to see.  Cool.  I like how there's a lot of terrain dotted all over the battlefields now, making for some proper tactical choices.  I just beat a superior force by placing my units between two forests, creating a bottleneck and allowing my hero to shoot them full of holes while the two spearmen in front skewered whoever was foolish enough to come close. :D

I've been holding out on playing this until release date but resolve starting to crack.........

I encourage you to dive in.  Although there seems to be at least one update a day, they don't seem to cause saved game incompatibilities, and the engine is already very stable (in my experience).  Release is only a few days away so not much will change.  Go on, have at it!

Ha!  Famous last words!  :P

I've been wanting to start a new game but I'm afraid there'll be a last minute pre-release update that screws up save games.  ???  Right when I'm halfway through.

You only gonna play it once?  Jump in Nef, the water's lovely!

Dammit...*sigh* another game bought. Trying to juggle this, AJE, Rise of Prussia, Dominion3, Stardrive and X3:ap

its kind of hopeless, isn't it?

Well, it's better than the alternative. About a year ago I was in a gaming drought. Had nothing that interested me for weeks and started to think I had lost interest in gaming.

Here's a cheat that I've used a couple of times.  ctrl-n.  It regenerates the world at start up.  Generally I'm not really picky about my starting location.  The one exception that I will always regenerate a world is if the starting tiles have 0 or 1 mana starting attributes.  Otherwise I just roll with what the game gives me.

Lost my first game. All 3 of my AI opponents were just to far ahead of me in research and military strength for me to catch up.

[Bison]

I won my first game but I was playing on easy.  My latest game is on normal settings and it's proving to be a challenge with some powerful monster dens in my AO and my nearest neighbors expanding seemingly at will.  I suspect I'll have to do an early war just to remove one of my closest rivals and take over and free up some shards.

[Bison]

I think my empire may come to a quick demise.  I just lost one of my two cities to a monster stack that I in my current state I cannot repel.  I also lost two pioneers and about 90% of my sovereign's army all in one turn.  That was about 90 seasons worth of unit building gone in the span of 1 season.  Brutal.  I love it.

[Huw the Poo]

I think I'll increase the frequency of monsters in my next game, because I'm not finding much to level my heroes on, leaving them quite flimsy and unable to cast powerful spells.

Still really enjoying it though, after about 120 turns played now.  My cities are starting to take shape, I'm acquiring some shards and strategic resources, and making my way through the tech tree.

The only frustrating moment was when I entered a cave and found half a dozen creatures that were ridiculously tough to beat and were able to one-hit kill all my units.  There was no indication that the cave would be any different to the four or five I'd explored before, so that annoyed me a bit.  It's made me a lot more cautious about exploring.

When you hover over the quest location, there will be a note on the popup that states the difficulty of the quest location/monster/army.  Run like hell from EPIC.  In the early game, you need to shy away from hard unless your army is capped out.
