Victory type

Guardian · #1 10-06-2007, 09:04 AM

Hi there, what do You think is better - get a gold victory or skip it for the silver and 100% of map cleaned from enemies and/or artifacts?
I started human campaign yesterday on Hard, and sadly I'm unable to do both (take gold Victory and wipe out whole map).
From Your experience, which is roughly better?

gold = more money a item+ a advance unit.

non gold= more xp some items and gold from towns.

Ideal is to clear map+get gold.

problem is the devs made it unfun IMO to get gold, you have to use a set army and have a perfect game, when it should be more then possable to clear the whole map within the set time for gold and unless you go very slow.

Heh, actually I like it a LOT as it is, You know, the challenge...

I'm getting better and in the future I think I'll be able to get it. Sometimes I miss gold by 2-3 turns, but it's sooo brainstorming gameplay...

Perhaps soon gold+100% of map will be possible to me on Normal. I'll see what's next when I'll get there

P.S. That's why I was asking about mechanics with +2charge cavalry attacking from forest in http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/viewtopic.php?t=143

I am very happy they are keeping gold challenging. I want to have levels that are hard to reach

Mhm, but altough I'm having a hard time on Returning to Derenhall, I've managed to pull this out a mission before:

But I don't think that'll be the case all the time xPPPP

Wouldnt it be better to have more enemies to defeat than this gold limit thingie??

Well, that's the point of my screen - 100% cities taken and enemies defeated AND gold

You can check how many towns I've captured and how many units I've killed below

And Gold - I'm starting to believe IS worth fighting for. Usually You get 50-100 coins more than on silver and an extra unit of good quality - so that's another 280-300 gold. Sometimes it's much better to leave 1-2 enemy units on a map and one ore two villages untaken just to take gold. At least so far - right now I'm pretty screwed in Orc campaing, on Land of Knights map

xPP That's a GOOD game

What is more important - you always get a magic item for GOLD. Some of them are really cool and powerful.
