Ascension To The Throne

[Guardian]

Heh, I've finished Fantasy Wars on Hard since I've played Ascension, so I don't remember clearly. Take a quest from giant near castle to rescue the witch. Don't worry, giant is superstrong, so You'll survive. With witch it'll be easier, try to explore and search for easy targets (You can decide not to fight when enemy is too strong). Look for chests with gold and (rather) authority bonus.

You'll be allright

P.S. I recall that initially I was very fond of wolves (You can hire them in a cave near first village, they are guarded though so get Yourself some army). They are cheap and very fast. Later You'd like to switch to bears (Grizzlies especially ). It's really down to You, what type of combat You like and type of units You preffer. I had all my army on Fast and above, so my medium speed hero was not needed for combat really, magic was used instead. However, there'll be a few "duel" quests, so it's good to add a little damage too, not mentioning the health (most important ).

Hey
i just played the game and i must admit that its the best game i played in quite some time (1-3 years). Does anyone know if they're gonna make expansion/next part of the game? That would be great

There are plans, but nothing concrete yet.

I guess there is no patch forthcoming?

Thanks for the hints, completing the witch quest was quite helpful. Now I'm trying to fight the wolves near the village, though I can't seem to manage without having the either witch or the archer-woman die on me. I'll work on it some more.

Edit: I did it! I found an easy-ish mob protecting an altar, beat them and got enough authority from the altar to be able to hire enough peasants to complete the wolf-quest.

And that's about the way to do this game

When You'll be passing river bordering lands of first guy (the one that whipped You) and his rival, You'll have option to either fight, or go willingly. I took the fight, and boy that was one of the hardest battles I had in the whole game

Hello there!

I would like to say that for old hook as I am , I do not remember game that keeped me stuned that much for long time!
It is not insane graphic UI or music or whatever it is whole atmosphere that made me recall some old feelings from time when games was more than posing.
Anyhow, I got stucked.I dawloaded patch , instaled it etc,. Valinor bug was solved and my game didnt crashed after killing him , but I can't see Emperror armor in my inventory when I looted chest on coast after leaving the castle.


PLEASE , if anyone have any tip for this problem - help!
I want to solve this and go finish the game

Best regards to all

[Guardian]

Heh, heh. Wanna tip? Stick to Sohei (Sothei? Y'know, the light-style speeding fast armor) armor, it's cool because Your hero now is finally Fast on the battlefield (not to mention that he moves on adventure map like a small whirlwind of doom) and can kill baddies without those nasty spells all the time

Honestly, I have no idea why You can't get the armor (You've done the quest for it I presume), I had no problem whatsoever except that once my hero fell below the ground (re-load), and I couldn't finish the quest with magic words (y'know, "stand on midnight at the feet of the ruins and say three words in proper order") - been there, had the words, no interaction with the game to have a chance to say them xP
Propably it's down to the PC's specs...

And yeah, had the same "good ol' game" feeling when I've played ATTT as well. Shame it's that easy (Make. Difficulty. Levels. In. Next. Patch/Expansion ), but nonetheless, great game

P.S. Emperor's armor didn't look that great to me (btw, in final movie Your hero is in Emperor Armor regardless what You actually have on him xPP), and I didn't want to be medium speed again

[Takeda]

Thanks friend,

It seems I made mistake, I should find that NPC before and finish getting armor back sux to walk trough game
My bad

Thanks again

After the initial difficulties, I've really been enjoying this game. In fact, I have had much more fun with it than I ever thought I would, and I'm probably not halfway through it yet.

If anyone reading this are on the fence regarding Ascension to the Throne, go for it. It may not look like much (though the units are very nice), and there are some flaws like Guardian mentioned before, but it's still a real gem.

Too bad the boxed copy is so hard to find in Europe, but there's always GamersGate (http://www.gamersgate.com/). And last time I checked they had it in stock at Play-Asia.
