@ Ryder: Thanks for the starter advices. Initially I had some problems around lvl 1-2 so I just went around and did quests until I was level 4. Then I started picking off the weaker units. So your advice helped alot. I will also pick up alchemists, but Im unsure where to sub them in to my current setup
.
@ Zuvio: Yeah I am currently. Res have helped me alot and Im unsure if I could do it this "easily" as a mage or a warrior
.
@ Razorflame: Yes I noticed a few of them after I made my post. Im still new to the forums so I had a hard time navigating as all the information is a bit spread out
. Im also not sure if losses in the tutorial count, but even tho the dragon is a good chunk og xp it would be horrible to beat the rest of the game without any losses only to find that those 2 units you lost on the dragon did count. As for patience Ive had to reload a few times. Especially on the werewolf "boss" as they managed to rush me and infect my archers. But I got there in the end
.
Progress:
Im now level 5 and Ive cleared out 1/3rd of the continent and completed 15 quests. I currently use Horsemen, Griffins, Archers, Priests and Archmages. I found a tactic that works well for me now and its sending the the Horsemen with Priest bless and Archmage shield in for soaking. The Griffin is support in the back and my casters buff the Horsemen or dps the closest target. I havent been able to find Royal Snakes yet as they arent in any of the normal locations, so Ive had a bit of bad luck there. But I found 300 griffins at the guy who keep the frogs as slaves so I hit some luck there.
I really enjoy playing my paladin this way and I would advice more people to try it out. Probably the most fun Ive had with a character initially, but it does require alot of thinking and some reloading
.
I also found the +1 speed snake boots so I wish I had some luck with the royal snakes soon. But Im not sure where I would fit them in my current setup. Same goes with Alchemists. I HAVE to fit the Royal snakes tho as they are my mid game strategy with the frog wife and especially now that I found the boots.
Im also going for Inq's in the mind tree by puting 1 point into everything and Im only a few levels off. I have so many viable strategies to try out that I just cant wait to get home and play more
.
Btw could the frog wife be bugged for me? She doesnt want to talk to me except to say "quack quack". Or do I have to trigger her somehow? I dont think I had to do that in any of my previous games, but I dunno.
Anyhow Ill keep posting about my progress if people are interested
. Thanks for all the advice so far!
