I disagree

AP was way more fun than this

I will finish the game for god's sake but it has so much les fun in it

WAY too much overpowered fights
and way too RNG luck based (for starters anyway)

the themes are away
the story line is really MEH?
after the spider boss everything get's way too easy
a shame only 3 bosses(AND AGAIN the spider already took him down in the previous installments, how many lives does that spider have)
some abilties are way overpowered (rune mage with unused might runes)
the big bounty of bugs
afaik no random heroes walking the land(like the previous installments, now only quest related)
being mostly stuck to crappy viking units in the beginning
valkyries(i prefer a companion for extra item slots)

what i did like

was the music
some old units getting new abilities
new rage abilities

I like the game a lot! You could look at this two ways, either you
a) impose harder challenge for yourself
b) have more flexibility to use armies that you normally wouldn't have used to win/play

Seems like a win win, no?

I'm a little sad you can't use demon, undead, or lizardmen armies though but ah well.

It could also use a bit more polish too as I think some units are broken, but again, you don't have to use them.

The story in AP is way more lame.
Bosses really dont matter.
I don't think map kiting is fun.
You still have a crap loads of human troop just like the previous game. They are still the best race in this game (not even counting Rune Mage).
Agree about the Valkyrie part.

Too many undead and few mixed enemies. only 2 bosses (3 with the final fight)
I feel the same, I like AP way more then this game.BTW there are 4 bosses.Spider, Loki, Driller on Grotland ( depends on how you choose to solve a certain quest) and ofc lame Guilford in the end.

Yeah, I basically agree with the guys who have been on this forum since TL. WoTN is a fun game but it doesn't have the magic of the earlier games. I thought it'd be fun revisiting the areas from TL but in most cases it's just tedious. Not being able to go to Marshan Swamp makes me sad as well.

I have clocked 70 hours of this on Steam and I'm about 2/3 of the way through, so I'm getting a lot of play out of it, but it's too easy (Impossible Skald) except for a couple of boss fights (the one in Rezo's tower I had to do a few times to get it right).

I am going to have to disagree that wotn is the best in the series. I feel their copy pasting job with all the bugs and imbalance is making this series go downhill. If you tell them this is the best in the series the next game you get is going to have even more bugs and be more rushed then this was and this one was pretty bad. I still feel like The Legend was by far the best in the series and they need to go back and look at what they did before the game becomes too stale.

The Legend
-Games feels 100 percent complete
-Rage box I thought was the best pet idea(some may like the dragon better)
-Liked the idea of having wives
-Game length was very good for the money(very long game took me around 140 hours)
-Story was interesting all the way through(I actually read almost all dialogue in the first one, the rest I just skip through cause its boring and puts me to sleep)
-Game felt by far the most balanced(very important here the game had a nice smooth flow in difficulty and the units all felt balanced with each other)
-Lots of fun boss fights and a story that builds up to the boss fights

Armored Princess
-Game did feel 100 percent complete
-Dragon was a nice idea but felt the rage box was just a little better
-Companions replace wives which is fine basically the same thing
-Felt the story was kinda lackluster here started just skipping through it
-Game was only half as long cause it originally started as an expansion then they held it back and made a full game.
-Game still had good balance I thought
-Still good on the boss fights here too
-Overall did not regret buying this and had almost as much fun as The Legend

Crossworlds
-Game felt about 95 percent complete
-Game was extremely short with its 2 short campaigns and a little added feature to make you play Armored Princess all the way through again to get it see a tiny bit of content added.
-Felt the content was kinda a rip off for what they charged
-Felt like the orc add on should have been in the original Armored Princess and not made an entire game and charge us almost full price for it
-Kinda regretted buying this after I found out what it contained, kinda expected a full length campaign(but that is partially my fault for not doing a full check on it before buying)

Warriors of the North
-Game feels about 80 percent complete
-bugs,bugs and more bugs on this rushed and unfinished game
-Probably over 50 empty buildings that they did not finished and bother to put any npc in
-Entire maps not accessible cause of unfinished game
-Very bad balance on some of the new mobs causing basically huge exploits
-Story was crap and basically non existent, nor did any side quest have literally any story too it.
-Too very few boss fights and most boss fights crashed for most people randomly
-Mistypes, Spells that did not work right, things that were not explained properly, and just plain wrong item,spell or talent ability descriptions
-Valkyries were kinda lame imo and taking away the companion I thought was the wrong thing too do. Made a lot item sets not very accessible
-Kinda felt ripped off for anyone to charge money for the condition this game got released in
-Progression bugs for some making some people have to completely restart the game(this is very bad and makes a lot of people quit and never come back or buy another game in the future from this series)

I could go on and on about wotn but most people know and feel this was not the best in the series and a lot of hard core fans were very disappointed and I am sure this company alienated a lot of new customers. It really feels like the game needed another 6 months to get it ready and they choose to push it out 2 weeks before all the big name releases that come out in november. Everyone needs to stand together here and tell them this was a crap effort and they need to do better next time. Not tell them this was the best in the series after the condition they released the game in cause you just going to get another buggy crappy unfinished release again if you say this game was awesome.

I dislike many things in WotN.
- There is no real strategy early game, in spider boss my autocombat have better reasults then me
- You are forced to play with Viking units so long and then it switch just to human units...
- New units, spells, rage abilities are boring...
- Absolutly hate what they did to classes

What i would want to see
- end of infinite combos, why they are adding more and more of them?
- add units which i would like to play, Archangels
- better AI, seriusly is it so hard to do something more complex then random number generator?
- Most of talest to be off combat and not like now in combat...
- get back something like Rage Box from The Legend, you would kill some boss -> you get some cool rage ability from his spirit
- get back Navigation Maps from Armored Princess
- enemies like mages from Champion of the Arena
