Defender of the Crown thread

[rancor26]

I wonder how you use the editor to make it so that you can play defender of the crown campaign but without those special arenas? I'd like to play it so that the enemy armies are bigger but the arenas are normal so the enemy doesnt have advantage because of the arena.

Well, I like the fact that there are few battles but each is unique. So the second battle is the lightning field, and the third the barracks. This 3rd battle was very difficult due to my being outnumbered and of course the barracks spawning more units. I managed to win in the end (on Hard) after 33 rounds, but I definitely should have tried to take the barracks down earlier. I have been using a lot of the lightning ball to thin the enemy out as my main dragon attack.

Team of Paladins, Royal Griffins, Demonologists (love these guys!), Guardsmen and Inquisitors. Everything ended up getting chomped except for the Paladins, but the Demonologists are worth their weight in gold for the Demons that they spawn. And I love the fact that this isn't a one-off ability. Shame there's not an unlimited supply of them.

So now I am left with a measly 6 Paladins, but 185k to build up my team for the next fight. Really liking Defender of the Crown - for someone who's played KB for a long time now, I really appreciate having less fights of greater challenge than more fights of lesser challenge.

I too, really like Defender of the crown, it brings a diversity to the table that neither AP or TL had, namely battles where winning is everything, and it doesn't really matter if you wipe your army, because you'll want to replace it anyway. Plus the unique terrain of each battle.

Especially the 'twist of the twist' in the last battle. Won't spoil it as I assume most people haven't reached it yet

I got as far as the barracks with my impossible mage game, in the first 2 fights my complete army got wiped. I'm still not sure if doing the quest for 20k is worth it or not, I only had money left for 2-3 full stacks of units.
