King's Bounty - artifacts, wives etc.

[Xelian]

Well the idea is to make a thread containing various stats for different items in KB. If you know an artifact, what a wife bonus is, or what a child gives for example post it. I'll keep update the main post with the info.

For all what is in game is best the 1.6.4 rus manual (it is easy to decipher when you are looking only on stats of artefacts or wives etc.)

for wives you can read and use the thread of this forum:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=3977

There are even some artefact threads in this forum as well, but mostly scattered based on sets or upgrades or quests... so I would advise to turn to the rus manual

Well, my translation is for the "obvious" words (like initiative, attack, spider, mana, mage) - where I see what is the word near at, I know that item or creature from the game, so I know that training sword has +1 attack - so I can figure out what is the word sword, attack, training... but I can't read Azbukah at all, so words that are out of context are still mystery to me :)

[ganjatron]

The quest for the frog wife was one of the first ones I did, and I decided not to ask her to marry me. Since then, I've met Rina, Mirabella, the dwarven one, and Xeona.

Is there any way to get the frog as your wife if you didn't ask her to marry you upon the quest completion? Is she hiding out at some castle or something, or did I miss my chance? As a mage, I prefer the int bonus.

[Xelian]

Hmm. I guess she should just be staying in the swamp. Though i'm not quite sure.

The patch had mentioned....

"- Children are chosen from the list randomly after loading when loading the same saved game."


I've tried this a number of times/ways and still always get the same child in the same slot.

I've tried:

- Load saved game, wait a while....create new saved game, load this one and then kiss wife.

- Load saved game, kiss wife, use ~ CLEARWIFE, kiss wife again.

- Load saved game, kiss wife, fight a combat or two, CLEARWIFE, kiss again.

Always the same child in the same slot. Is it possible that this is due to the game being started prior to the patch?

The more I read the forum about everyone discovering this or that about King's Bounty - The Legend, and revealing their discoveries to the rest of us, the more I realise that the Quest for the Manual is almost as interesting as the game itself.

Children's are determined in the start of the game. No matter what you do you will always get the same child in the same slot. Thats a way to prevent cheating :)

Hmm I saw the patch notes and i got what you mean. I doubt they will let you change your child with a simple load. This will make the game too easy. Still i don't get exactly what they mean with this patch note.

This patch note is tricky to understand (if i dont confuse that bug with other one) if you dont know a bit of history of "children bug". That error was in russian version.

As Xelian said, childrens who will born is determined at the starting of game (there are severeal "scenarious"), but there was a bug, that after (!!!) load choosen "scenario" dropped to default one and that reason was why all players got same childrens all the time. As i understand same bug was in initial english version and now it is corrected...

Thanks for the explanation Shd

This setting simply sucks... This game has already way too many random factors and the playing experience becomes a bit frustrating.

I was against using console/trainers but I should say, fortunately, I still get other way around.

[DaviddesJ]

This setting simply sucks... This game has already way too many random factors and the playing experience becomes a bit frustrating.

I think it sucks when games make it too easy to cheat. And, as you say, there are already plenty of other ways to exploit if you want to make the game easier. Not to mention you can just skip having children if you don't want that random factor.

[Kings Bounty Hunter]

Which wife does everyone think is the best to have? Depending on strategy of course but surely Xeona? or maybe the Elf wife. I think Mirabella and her 100% Attack to pirates (sea dogs) is the best for me.

[DaviddesJ]

It seems to me that Royal Snakes with the frog queen bonus are (a lot) better than Sea Dogs with Mirabella bonus. Faster, better initiative, lunge, no retaliation.

[Fate]

The elf princess is my fav. I don't think i will use snakes and pirates till the end game. Not that they are bad but i prefer ranged troops.

[maverick6146]

First, for a single player game, there WILL be trainers/codes around and it is nothing game design can do about it.

Second, as I said in other threads, this game has too MUCH influence from random factors. Not only wives, but also spells, troops, equipments, etc. If the random factor is so important that it can alternate the gaming process, I would rather call it a flawed design.

Also it ruined part of the fun of playing a strategy game because people can hardly experience the full potential of the game. What if I want to go all undead troop? Sorry you can't because you can only get zombies until Elf's land. Or what if I want make a fighter sorceror? Sorry again because you can't get +int items and your wives only give you +scroll kids...

Look at those good strategy games, they give players the choice, but the choice is hard to make.

At last, this is by no means bashing the game. In modern days PC games, gems like KB is hard to find. since I play this game intensively, I have more thought about it. Please forgive my little rant.

Peace.

[Kings Bounty Hunter]

It seems to me that Royal Snakes with the frog queen bonus are (a lot) better than Sea Dogs with Mirabella bonus. Faster, better initiative, lunge, no retaliation.

I'm level 22 Paladin playing on hard level and my Sea Dogs are putting out 49 on Attack. So the snakes perform better at this stage do they? I will no doubt restart with Mage on impossible if I have not move onto a different game by then.

Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand it. When I married Mirabella in my last game, she gave a 100% attack bonus to pirates and robbers (I think it was), which turned out to be useless to me since I never recruited those units much. But there's no such bonus in your chart? :confused:

[DaviddesJ]

First, for a single player game, there WILL be trainers/codes around and it is nothing game design can do about it.

That's fine, I have no problem if you want to cheat. I just don't think the designers have any obligation to make it easy for you. And personally I prefer it to be less easy.

[Azula]

Second, as I said in other threads, this game has too MUCH influence from random factors. Not only wives, but also spells, troops, equipments, etc. If the random factor is so important that it can alternate the gaming process, I would rather call it a flawed design.

First of all wives aren't random, that's pretty much the only active choice you have (apart from your starting class).

Also this "randomisation" is set in stone at the beginning of the game because of one thing, and one thing only: save-load. It would be way way way way too convenient if every single randomised option could be exploited by saving just before and loading ad nauseum until you get the desired result. THAT is not randomisation.

i'm 21lvl warrior and my Royal Snakes have 55 attack and 12-16 dmg, 7 initiative, 4 speed. I'm hitting Land of the Dead and with Silver Rapier, Sword of Light and Holy Anger form Inqs my Royal Snakes tear apart every beast on my way:] I would never change it to Mirabella wife and Sea Dogs (but I'm not so arogant to claim that my idea is better, it's just perfect for me;) )

btw any ideas to increase morale of Royal Snakes?

[Alto]

could anyone please tell me if the "painskull" and the "Demonic Mask" is of any use ? I would like to know what it does after I get it down to 0%.
Also, I see the name silver rapier and a few others mentioned more than one time, are those some sort of fixed artifacts/xx ? Reason why I am sking is that I am having a hard time in the Book of death land.

[kadrzys]

don't know about Demonic Mask but Painskull is pain in the ass for 50 battles after which it turns into Dead Skull(?) which give +5atk +5 int ;) Silver Rapier is weapon you can obtain by finding recipe (don't know if it's random), you can give it to guy in Magic Guild and he can make Silver Rapier for you but the cost is massive - 5 Mind Runes!! 2 Magic Crystals and some money.

[Keneth]

You can always open eng_items.lng (or items.txt if you prefer code, like me) and check what each item does.

[Metathron]

How exactly do you control the forms of some wives? If in fact you can?

[Valerio80]

For the zombie wife you can freely switch from/to undead/human form simply saying your wife the formula you got doing the zombie miller's quest. To talk to your wife simply click on her portrait in hero screen.

For the frog wife it tournes into a frog after a certain amount of battles (if i'm not wrong after 13 battles the first time, and then once each 21 battles) and each time you can decide to keep her as a frog or to change her back to a lady by kissing her (talk with her and you can chose to kiss her).

I know this two only, maybe there are more that can change their form, dunno ^_^

Metathron - My chart doesn't list the actual wife bonuses. Only their possible children and chances of each. I guess I should have included the wife bonuses as well. In case anyone doesn't know...

Rina (living) +1 speed, +1 initiative to all robbers/pirates
Rina (undead) +1 speed, +1 initiative to all undead
-slots are armor, boots, belt, artifact

Feanora (frog) +100% to attack of snakes/spiders
Feanora (human) +3 intelligence
-slots are helmet, belt/artifact, artifact, artifact

Mirabella +100% to the attack of all pirates/robbers
-slots are weapon, boots, belt, regalia

Herda +1 morale of dwarves
-slots are shield/regalia, boots, armor, regalia

Neoka +1 morale of elves
-slots are regalia, regalia, belt/regalia, artifact

Xeona +1 morale of demons
-slots are weapon, boots, weapon, belt/artifact

When you defeated her - she is yours, just make sure you don't have a wife already... if you have a wife, divorce, talk to xeona, there you go

[StoryDiver]

Ok thax

[taltamir]

wow, neoka has the best babies by far... and Xeona's come close if you are a fighter...

[taltamir]

Xelian:
Agba's Ruby - +3 to Initiative, attack, defense, speed and more to female fighters. +300 leadership

It is Anga's not Agba's, and it is MORALE not MORE.

You can also look up the excel sheet with the exact percent chance of each child from each wife.

[Hento]

Hm, it doesn't look like it's worthwhile to gamble with having children when you can lose a slot for a more beneficial item.

[taltamir]

that is pretty much it... also most children are pure shit (+4 scrolls? waste of slot!), and those that ARE worthwhile, are not as good as an item.

For example, the absolute best child possible gives +5 int. The elf woman has a 10% chance to birth him, the frog woman 5%, noone else can birth him.
but there are multiple items that give more than just +5 to int. Like the skull of pain giving +5 int and +5 attack, the arch-mage staff giving +5 int and +20% lightening damage, and so on.
Bottom line, children suck and you should never have any.

Although there is this mod to make then not suck as much:

[tintagel]

heh, scrolls.... YUCK

I think what would make them better would be to allow you to use 1 scroll per turn (or fight) and still cast spells. I would eat them up like skittles then. Maybe if you had to get that as a talent or something.

Anyone wanna do a mod for that? I have no modding ability.
