Fallen Entrantress: Legendary Heroes

[Bison]

I had to retire my latest game.  It was a humbling game of futility on my part.  :D

[Huw the Poo]

Aha, thanks for the tip Bison!

Bison and Co.,

Sounds like you went into the wildlands (green boarder). There is usually boss type fight at the center of each. You need serious firepower to take them down too.

[Bison]

Capn Darwin there is the master quest zone you are referring too, but I'm also finding some serious dens that are not bound to any quest line.  Honestly I'm happy with it.  It's not the insane roaming monsters from WoM, but it does make you pause when constructing new cities/outposts.  The reason being that those independent dens will not attack your city/outpost unless your boarders over take the den's location.  At which point your city/outpost/army become targets for the monster stack.

[Capn Darwin]

Yep, there are a number of those in the game. The Deadly rated ones are just that. The one bad thing in the game is that the AI can build a city or outpost too close and release the critters and they still end up jumping on your cities or resources. I like dropping outposts over certain dens and then hitting them with flamestrike or the quake effect to hold them in place. Then send in the hero army to take them down.

I need to try out a few of the different factions.  I've yet to do a fire focused one or a higher level earth one.

Yeah I found that out the hard way......  we don't talk about that anymore.  :-[

Well it looks like the end of another kingdom is coming quickly. 



I have 5 armies of Fallen from 2 different factions invading my kingdom.  And a massive Lich army running around.  I need to kill the lich to get rid of the plague in my capital city.  I need to survive the 5 Fallen armies to continue my slow expansion. 

[Bison]

And a few seasons later...



I've lost 2 cities and 2 outposts.  I'm broke.  My army is a mere 4 units and soon I won't be able to afford them.  I thought I had a decent remote starting location perfect for a slow turtle buildup, but I was really hurting for resources.  I only had 2 shards in my kingdom and neither were the one I needed - Air.  Well I could press on but I think this one is in the bag.  :(

[Kushan]

Yea, I think your screwed.

I loaded up a save halfway through my first game to see if I could fare better. I must really suck at this game because I lost with the game with all the default settings. I was able to do a little bit better then the first go around but there was no way I was goign to catch the AI when had faction power of 300+ and I was only at 170.

I did notice a few things. First thing  noticed was that even after researching the various treaty options, none of them appeared in the diplomacy options. Do they not appear if a faction has a low opinion of you? No matter how many times I offered the AI tribute or trades I couldn't raise their opinion of me and see if they would then allow for some sort of treaty.

Second thing I noticed was that to even remain within ear shot of the AI faction power, I basically had to have one or two cities constantly training pioneers and expanding my borders. I don;t think turtling is a viable option. Not sure if that was because I was playing a large map with only 4 factions (including me). I was able to colonize a lot more the second time around, but after I had expanded into my natural expansion areas (that I didn't do the first time around do to a drake siting on top of the expansion route), the AI had boxed me in.

[Bison]

I tried to fight back.  I took two outposts, but shortly there after I had all 5 factions declaring war on me and lost them again.  I don't think the AI would have taken me out right away.  But I was hurting so bad in the money department, I either had to produce wealth to break even or go even more broke trying to rebuild the city/resources to mount a future offensive.  I don't think I would have made it that far though since eventually my army units would have disbanded for lack of money to fund them.

I think I need a bit more practice  :)

[Huw the Poo]

Hahaha!  Got killed by a wandering monster before settling your first town?
