Got my first victory at beginner. I think I'm getting better? It's hard to tell. Killing stuff like the chimera or the gryphon or whatever the 4 of a kind guy is just seems like luck. I've never killed Mordred. Figuring out that finishing the graal quest gets me a lot of knights back helped a lot though.
The behaviour of the tavern seems buggy though, or I just don't get it. Sometimes it'll let me roll guys I get from it on the same turn, other times no?
For the tavern reroll there's this strange mechanic I will probably get rid of :
- The number of dice you can send each day is fixed to 5 ( 6 with excalibur quest )
- If you fail to send 5 dice ( only 4 dice at the round table for exemple ) The game remember you can still send an additional dice ( you can see a sword under the table to show this )
- If you get an additional dice ( most of the time, with the tavern ) and still have a sword left, the next roll will send the dice to the battleground.
Yeah, I just didn't realize what QUESTS were. I got them confused with MISSIONS. I think they just need to be more clearly labelled/delineated in the UI (I know right now there's only bare-bone presentation . I can't wait to see the sprites for the missing rivals.). I think part of the problem was that in easier modes, there's only one quest: the Graal. So I just sort of saw that as being an action "look for the graal" not that doing so is a quest and there could be other quests. Now that I play at harder difficulties it's more obvious that quests are a category of actions.
Maybe it should look like missions are stuff that's in or right outside the gates of your castle/city and quests should look like it's sending knights away (on a boat even?) and then be clearly labeled.
Arthur let you send two dice to the tavern each day. So for exemple if there's a 2 and a 3 at the tavern you can send a 2 and a 3 from your battleground to get them ( normally you can send only one dice each day ). He used to be very useful in previous versions but now that you can dub same value dice in tavern with just one dice from the battleground, Arthur became unpopular. I will probably change his power asap.
Maybe Percival should get that power added to his power to make him better or whoever the tavern guy is?(4 I think)
Arthur could grant stars for every so many successful missions, or for any time you use 5 or more dice on a mission, or something like that.
I sort of think the tavern is a weird name for the knight recruitment area in general though. I guess it makes sense--guys passing through town would be at the tavern.
