(.77 Beta) Factions too easily being destroyed by monsters

from Elemental Forums

I just upgraded from .75 to .77 so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Started a new game and within like 100 turns or so (maybe a little more) 4 factions had already been killed by wandering monsters. I don't think that is supposed to be. I have the AI set to challenging and monsters set to moderate. It is ridiculous that one faction after another is getting wiped out by monsters. I think i am going to win the game without even doing anything.

Problem is faction AI not monsters, it just kinda sucks.

Monsters arn't threatning too me when I play.All they need is a couple garrison units to supplement militia.

I don't think they can garrison units. I didn't even have garrisoned units because of gold issues although I could have built a couple.

Please add me to one of those factions.

 

I see factions die off fast every game. However, I often die off fast too (all default settings)! It's kind of hard not to when you have such uber-stacks of monsters walking around early game, which are 5x as strong as any army, and my hero doesn't even have a damage spell to her name.

I had this happen in my games as well. It also happened to me and I could do nothing to stop it (had all my troops in town). Wandering beasts need to be toned down.

I don't think the problem is regular wandering monsters, but those from the Wildlands.  I've lost count of the no of starts I've had that have been 4-5 tiles away from those zones.

Agreed, within 10 turns I had a faction die off this morning and within another 100 or so another faction.  I've only encountered two factions so far in my game on a medium map and 3 others I wont because they've died off.
