Saul and Taulus being the same person was pretty dang funny, not gonna lie. You don't suppose Saul being the first non-Paine & Agonni general we've straight up killed is some kind of Highlander thing between those two, is it?

Don't know, but as far as I'm concerned the official canon may as well be that they both originated from the Highland faction.

 Episode 17 - Moving Troops We continue to defend against Topaz's relentless assaults as we move troops into position to prepare for our counterattack. Sorry things have been moving a bit slow for the past few episodes...I've been playing things pretty safe. Next time I'm going to attack Topaz regardless of our troop situation so we can move on with the story.

What is the story at this point, actually? I feel like we started out having a reason to fight the samurai and when that ended we kind of just had a world war on our hands and we are plowing ahead without stopping to ask why.

At this point? Fandaria has formally(messengers and all) declared total war on the world. Meanwhile, all the other nations have also been duped/incited into internal and external war. Take a leader(In this case, Gongos), and clean up this mess. Everyone else must fall. Don't die yourself.

Pretty sure Gongos has just been taking advantage of the turmoil caused by Fandaria to take a stab at world domination himself. e: their intro was literally 'Heh, Fandaria announcing they'll be going to war against all the other kingdoms? What fools... but wait, if we did that it just might work! Hmm yes, yes...'

Yeah at this point it sort of seems like Gongos is conquering the other kingdoms just so Goldark can't. My guess is the next big plot drop for the main story will come after we've defeated all the other kingdoms, but we'll see. At the very least we can probably look forward to seeing how Gongos gets duped by each ruler and their core officers.

Ensnare is great because aside from preventing escape, it freezes the power gauge. He cast the one sonic boom because the gauge was filled by default but it didn't recharge after casting. Expecting to see some summon reaper action soon

How does the Reaper spell work? Does it reduce each commander's health to 1, or deal each commander their max health-1? It's an important distinction, because if it's the former then a better idea for a Reap & Switch tactic is probably to let the enemy leader use a skill (if they have an ability that hurts Katt or are likely to at least) before you use the reaper, so that you have a bigger retreat window.

I believe it reduces each commander's hp to 1, regardless of current hp. I knew the risk of casting the spell when I did - I just wasn't expecting the AI to be so fast in their response, and I really wanted to see if it would actually work on leaders.

I actually noticed that as the game goes on the enemy seems to generally get quicker on the draw in their skill usage. Not talking about power charging faster, but for instance thief/ninja types seem to wait less time before dishing out the first power drain move in the match once their gauge is full.

Sordas Volantyr posted:That skill that freezes soldiers in their tracks is really destructive if you still have a bunch of soldiers, goodness gracious. Yeah I was pretty surprised...his troops got quite a few free shots on our guys, even with many of them holding position. There's also the relative command levels / animation advantages to consider, but the spell definitely made a big difference. Luckily Gongos is no slouch in a duel, and had a pretty decent chance of winning even if the health totals were closer to even.

Scar is one of Junon's 4 starting generals but his alliance is more with killing Scythe than any particular kingdom. AFAIK he's the only story general who'll join other factions, including the player's if he's captured. Regarding his personal quest, I wonder if it has a more substantial resolution than the couple of lines he trades with Scythe in the pre-battle screen. Maybe that's all there is to it but I'm hoping the LP will show the intended ending to his story.

I don't recall if he has events outside of playing as Tristan, but I'll try to have him fight his nemesis.

The fight with Vlad went much better than I was expecting, then I checked the troop types chart and beasts are on equal footing with zombies, I thought the latter had the advantage. You could of course have cheated and gone into the fight with no troops at all, then it'd be a matter of winning the duel which Gongos here wouldn't have had much trouble with, I assume. Also, had this game been released today Uryll and the rest of the Tradnor dream team would've been nerfed in a first week patch, no doubt.

Tradnor not being playable until you had beaten the game once is probably a decent enough excuse to let them be just a teensy bit busted. Same dealy-o with Fandaria's generals, probably.

 Episode 24 - The Cold North Gongos and the rest of the Bozack crew meet Junon and what remains of Tristan in a fierce engagement. I thought about scrapping this episode since I forgot about Scar, but something unusual happened so I kept it. Also just as a reminder try not to reveal any spoilers about Junon / Tristan (even if it isn't a huge deal)...I'm crossing my fingers I didn't slip up myself.

No. Madruk is one of several gods. The goddesses deal with creation, the gods with destruction. The gods command the Dragonmen in their task. So when Madruk needed some more muscle in the past war against Legendra, he called them up. Dragons as troops are strong against everything except Samurai, so they kicked about as much rear end as you'd expect. Madruk's want, the nature of the gods and goddesses and why the first war started....isn't properly gone into in the game itself. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Dec 24, 2018 |

Okay, so there's no agreement between the gods and goddesses as to when things are created and when things are destroyed? I guess if this is getting spoilery there's no need to answer.

As far as is known, Madruk's both a rogue, and he's jealous. More than that, his sights are set far, far higher than merely the goddesses. ...On the CD if you stick it in a PC, there is a file. DISC_BIB.TXT. The following is a direct copy-paste. --- quote:
