Loved the game- particularly acts 1, 2 and 3. Wish there were more avenues to raising hordes moral / getting treasure in dark fantasy mode or maybe a mode in between where you start with a little more treasure. I do like a game to have consequences but my dragon is very covetous of his captives and the game almost forces you to give them up if you'd like to treat your captives well / still be able to conquer the realm.
I thought maybe you could get around the issue by raising Kobold moral to 3- but you just end up stuck not being able to gather more gold from them at that point since their gather gold interaction decreases their moral by 1 and it costs 1 gold to raise their moral up one.
The walk-through regarding the solution was a little nebulous.
"Treasure (Gold! Gold!), which can be used to boost Morale and build in your lair (but will lower their morale)."
Didn't realize leaving some of the realm unconquered was on the table - might need to do one final play-through to get it right then :P
The choices about being nice to Mina after recruiting the bandits was rough. You still get the delay of being hunted but you don't go into A4 with them as horde. The meta loss being not auto-conquering Gutters Cove, and the more minor loss being losing the RP of just not having another horde. Horde # doesn't seem to matter- only horde morale.
Witch is currently the easiest to give up of the lair faction characters- she has the least content.
I did make the mistake of building the bath - didn't hit any content relating to it in my play-through and avoiding gaining wounds is entirely too easy / there is rarely a reward for getting your character wounded. [Gutter's cove you can get +1 Str if you are under 2, and fighting the Nalu you can get +1 if you are under 4] Cannot remember specifically if you actually received wounds losing in those cases- but it felt like you should ;-p
You've made a fun game- Thanks for your work. New conquest approaches sounds awesome ^_^.
@WolfLynd Thanks for the data- I did some testing as well with it- seems like there are a lot of ways you can sorta be a dick to her and then bring her back into the fold with the dress- including recruiting the bandits as you've said. Min maxing in the game turns out to be very fun- I wonder what else I am missing about the game.
