Well, that brings that Let's Play series to an end. As a really brief summary of likes and dislikes: The Good Each faction is starting to play differently so you need different troops to do well against each The balance of HP, Attack, Defence etc in tactical battles feels right. Dodge has been nerfed a little too much I think I like that levelling has been nerfed and I like where it is now set to.</li

Yes, Magnar himself was unbelievably strong but there weren't too many battles where he featured. If my capital had fallen I think I would have lost but I always had enough troops to protect it.I did feel I was on the ropes during the early game and at one point thought I was going to lose. I remember thinking around episode 6 or 7 that it was all going to end quickly. I guess what I really liked about this game is that due to early misjudgements and misfortune it meant I had to p
[quote who="Javaslinger" reply="55" id="3150922"]Sadly I just don't have the time to watch your videos like I used to... but I still relish to hear your opinions and especially comments regarding the progress they've made with the latest patch 0.914. As you're up to 24 episodes, I imagine you're enjoying it. How about a little summary of your thoughts for those of use who can't listen... [/quote] I enjoyed the game very much. I recorded the full

Hi Deggial. Welcome to the forums. :) I think you are right. The least amount of micromanagement the better. The idea I spoke about in the video was to make use of the 3x3 grid as a one-off arrangement to position troops in the front or rear ranks.
I've played a couple of games of Warlock and agree it is nothing at all like Fallen Enchantress - but is still fun in its own right. I think it would be a mistake to try and compare the games.

I use Bandicam to record. It compresses as it records which is really nice. I used to use Fraps until finding it. I actually don't post-process its output. A 30 minute video is typically around 900Mb. And the quality is good.
I think you're right. Mid game the AI never sends stacks with more than 3 units and they become XP fodder.
I'm not missing dynasties at all. Was a distraction to the main game I felt. I like the current mechanic of recruiting different skilled heroes.
I like the current mechanic. If you introduce costs and micromanagement to the 'Xpand' portion of the 4X game it will grind the game down (like it did in WoM).

[quote who="Malkuth" reply="38" id="3148359"]Did they get rid of the create your own units that were in the original game... Don't remember to much about it.. But I do seem to recall you could make your own army units and outfit them the way you wanted. Seems now everything is premade.[/quote] Yes, you can absolutely create your own units and it is much better in this game than it ever was. If you play Gilden you can also use a Golem as your base unit and then add traits etc

YouTube can be hard work. And upload times can be terrible. Would love a quick way to upload. What program are you using?
I was playing as Tarth and had positioned the outpost first, city later. The outpost was positioned on a diagonal from the city.
Definitely only seems to work if the ownership of the land doesn't change (i.e. if there is an outpost covering the area).
I think this is a very important discussion (probably the most important one) because it looks at the underlying game mechanics that give games a long replay value. I think that the start of replayability issues for these sort of games is the need to provide strategic choice that dramatically shifts the focus on one hand, and the need to balance the game on the other hand. The simpler the mechanic the easier the task. That is why I feel games like Warlock have the inside running over
