The game now has a bunch of medium to high tier unique weapons and armors that are awesome. Literally 0 complaint there.

But IMO what we need now are unique and extremely rare versions of some fairly common low(er) level items. For example add fairly common, rare, extremely rare, and stupidly extremely rare variation of a raider/thug armor; you dont even need to do too much work i think, just add more fluff to the items raiders/thugs already use, you know like add furs, are more padding details etc. Im talking items that arent too OP (they have like 5 or 10 more armor) but add a metric shit ton of esthetic awesomeness, epic coolness, and RPG value to a single brother after a battle. You know how you have that event that can give you a 2 handed sword early on? Thats a great example of what you guys should do on a grander scale. That 2 handed sword isnt really anything super special, but its something you wont be able to get for at least some hours into the game; yet you get lucky, trigger that event, and BOOM you just have essentially military grade weapon that turns one of your bros into potential massive damage dealer, and it may even have impact on your whole party composition and battle tactics.

^thats what i absolutely adore in this game.

If i had my own way id have you work on items and items alone for like a month or something, until we have unique version of vast majority of items, even the lowest tiers ones.

Absolutely agree with that comment, but I have a little different view. What this game really needs is legendary items, but they has to be not only the items which have chance to hit head or damage boost. They have to provide us with new experience and unique abilities. Like Frangshire helm does, like Horadric cube does it in Diablo 2, like Allien Blaster does it in Fallout 2. These items have to become a legend which will be retold from one player to another. A lot of things can be invented, for example legendary bow (+2 vision, +2 range), pike of a giant (allows 3 tiles range hit, instead of 2), cheater’s dagger (+20% chance to hit via puncture), Van Helsing blade (burn vampires with one hit) and so on. Off course they would be very very rare.
The same is suitable for special encounters and quests. Just remember how we replay Fallout 2 by character with very high luck rate just to see all these special encounters. And also told to our friends about them and got their respect.

First what the hell is wrong with this forum, im seeing smilies in quotes that are half the screen size…

Second, i dont disagree with your ideas. Sure those kinds of items would be good too.

However i would still vote for simpler items (and in particular items you can obtain practically from the very first battle, albeit with extremely low drop chances obviously). I simply think it would add more benefit to the game (specially for its RP value) at a much lower cost, as it would simply be a case of adding more art (in many cases just variation to the already existing template). What youre proposing, as cool as it really is, would require additional programming and debugging etc its whole features worth of work load.

Now about question. Exactly one factor( there is some more but this one – 100%) on which depend all the battle – it is game day of the company – the farther away the enemies will be more, regardless of the difficulty level, your party size or the fame.

Surely there are some limits to this? Like im not literally seeing bigger and bigger skeleton sites i think.

Didnt know about skele archers, thats useful info.

Ok. Lets get some things straight here.

There are fixed locations on the map and there are quest spawned / faction spawned locations.

The fixed locations are places that are guarded by toughest enemies regardless of what level you are. I also think they may get different sizes depending on your stats later on (i cant be 100% sure but i think ive had locations that displayed different amounts and compositions of troops at different times i visited them, i believe some of them spawn parties that roam around).

The spawned locations, and in particular the quest spawned locations, will, depending on different factors, be scaled to your power. Naturally the missions that spawn them will also have different amounts of skulls, so if you have 6 men party, you wont be sent to kill 14 raiders, in a 1 skull mission at least.

So when it comes to the particular location you ran into, its not one that you are supposed to kill that early on. It will not scale down to your size, you are basically wasting time there. You should not be wandering off road until you have at the very least 12 men party that are at the very least ~ level 6. What you should be doing is roaming from town to town and picking up easy quests that net 1000-2000 gold.

For example my current level 11 party that is customized to kill Orc Warriors would smash through that location probably without anyone even being hit (archery is useless on skeletons, they have like 95% immunity to it, so the trick is to have 12 melees and attack during the night so their archers are useless; since each one my 12 melees can kill multiple skelies in a 1 v 1 its like hot knife through butter, although you have to prioritize the skelies with 2 handed weapons (and 2 tiles reach weapons), those can be nasty).

From that screenshot, that doesnt look like a party i would take vs that many undead.

Thats the main problem.

People armed with 1 handed axes dont have shield, which defeats the purpose of 1 handed weapons.

[Danubian]

Can you show us a screenshot of the battle so that we can see what kind of party you have and what kind of enemies you chose to fight?

[Danubian]

You go out into the wilds and hunt for some forum plebs.

Once youve taken a few, you sacrifice them to RNGesus.

And if youre lucky he might smile upon you and grant you unics.

Agreed on 4) im on like day 150? and ive only seen 1 hedge knight.

[Danubian]

Can someone tell me whether i need to start a new game in 0.7.0.11 to be able to see all monsters?

For example i havent ran into necromancer with zombies.

And i cant seem to run into new zombie heavy infantry in any fixed map location, although i ran into 1 party that was roaming (i guess it was spawned after the patch was applied).

[Danubian]

It is not smart to use 2 handed weapons early on. First, your guys wont have enough natural melee/ranged defense to survive, and second your melee skill wont be high enough to reliably hit enemies with 2 handed weapons (meaning youll be wasting turns).

So switch from 2 handed axe and a shield and 1 handed weapon.

[Danubian]

I kinda agree, at times the world can feel empty and walking around in circles between towns hoping to get a contract can get very boring.

I specially dont like the fact that i cant see the outline of my “view range” circle and the fact that enemy locations seem to respawn within already discovered area. I think they should make fog of war return to areas that are respawning locations so that we can know when to return or something?

[Danubian]

The whole point of the thing is basically to force you hire more than 12 people.

If they made it less serious, you could just ignore the injuries and keep using the injured people.

This way you are forced to hire backup fighters and rotate them.

I love his gear man. He looks alive? He looks like an actual soldier who has seen all sorts of shit.

OMG – look at the prices compared to the attributes:

A unique weapon of that value should do a lot more damage.

I mean all other stuff apart, obviously durability is wrong, somebody probably forgot to update it.
