Dewar Posted June 23, 2015 So I picked this up during the Steam summer sale, booted it up today and WHOA! I've just passed 5 hours playing this thing. While I have a few hours in X-Com, I got a grip on this one way faster and fee like my first run is going extremely well. Granted, I'm playing on Normal. I think part of it is that I feel like there's a specific base/resource build that you have to go for in X-Com that I don't think you do here. (I always got stuck in that level where the aliens turn humans into zombies.) I love the houses aspect and I think it works better than X-Com because even if you know nothing about an individual troop, you can gain a lot of information about them from their crest and quick glance at their family history. There's this transference of importance because they're placed in connection with houses you as a player have a relationship with already. That relationship comes from having picked out the beginning houses, picking regents, and picking spouses. My only thoughts for build order are more keeps than you think you'll need as fast as possible. It's very possible to get screwed by lack of/bad breeding, even if you don't loose many folks in fights. My hard run right now I'm in the 100th year and I have 7 people capable of fighting, and no available women at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sclpls Posted June 23, 2015 I like that the alchemists now have a melee attack. I don't think that was the case when I was playing the beta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
root Posted July 30, 2015 I only just now remembered an hour ago that I backed this game on kickstarter and now I'm downloading my redeemed steam key. Kickstarter is great because it's where I go to get presents that two-years-ago me bought my today self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
