For the building layout, you can get the same buffs while building one less Arsenal. I'm going to explain it like a tick-tack-toe board. Start with the three "Main" buildings in the same layout. Then place the Training ground (this will be the center box in the Tick-tack-toe board). Place the first Smithy in the same place (top right), but place the 2nd in the lower left. It doesn't need to touch the Barracks twice. That lower right slot will instead place your first Arsenal, with the 2nd in the upper left.
Now all three buildings are getting all three buffs, but you saved one building (or drop the last Arsenal if you don't want to give it to the archers, and build 2 less!).
Super valuable information! Thanks for this! I just unlocked the crusade mechanics so your video's were super helpful!
Awesome:) not everybody loves the mechanic but I’ve enjoyed it on all my playthroughs
Playing the game again and this as well as Beginner's tips are so helpful. Thank you very much
😄
Great tips Leeroy! Appreciated as always!
Ty!
This helped a ton! Thanks for making the video!
Glad you found it helpful :)
@@LeeroyGaming Would love a guide about the best units
You should really do a in depth look at the recruitable units and variants, I chose shieldbearers and I regret it now, they are really hard to kill, but they are super slow and can't kill anything.
I have found many to be extreme junk , while others good but very hard to recruit. Some hit the Goldilocks zone. I haven’t seen any where close or all options but I am assessing which seem to perform well.
I haven't seen all the units either, but of the ones I've seen so far marksman, rangers, and champions are amazing. Clerics are solid as well. Hellknights are decent with really good mobility. While not amazing, sorcerers and mongrel archers are better than they look. Paladins are not worth the "upgrade" over mounted scouts. Shield bearers are the absolute worst.
@@charlesbailey5678 I love rangers, great hp, ac, and dmg. Marksmen Have liken I hp sadly. Agree hellknights are solid. Paladins aren’t amazing as their one time ability to heal can easily be replaced by having the cure spell that can be spammed and costs 2 energy.
For units you want the trifecta of high dmg, high ac, and high hp.
@@LeeroyGaming The only time my marksmen ever take damage is if the enemy has a leader with a direct damage spell. In those few instances they do suck, but they're also the only archer unit I can rely on to be available every week, so I still count them as a top tier unit, even if slightly below rangers and champions.
@@LeeroyGaming Marksmen, once you get enough, one shot any stack, and if they can go twice a round completely switch things in your favour. You want your general to have cure wounds for if they do take damage, as as Charles mentions, watch out for enemy generals. I found I could survive their direct damage spells once you get 200+ Marksmen (approximately). Then hiring merc Rangers to add another ranged damage attack lets you sit behind your clerics and soldiers and sweep the battlefield before they even reach your front liners.
Thanks, amazing guide! I wish I had found this earlier!
Better late than never. :)
so helpful thanks a lot
Also: Hard to be 100% sure since I don't have the game in front of me, but I think if you literally swap your buff buildings and your unit producing buildings around, you can save yourself one building.
Buff 1--Unit 1--Buff 3
Unit 2--Buff 2
Buff 3--Unit 3--Buff 1
i was gonna say this. Yeah, he only needs two each of the last two buildings.
When constructing buildings I believe there are 4 adjacency bonuses available not 3. Not sure if the Apothecary was purposely missed . Perhaps the following setup might work instead:
| - | 1 | A | 2 |
| 2 | B | 3 | - |
| - | 4 | S | 2 |
| - | - | 1 | - |
Main Archery - A
Main Barracks - B
Main Stables - S
Buff Buildings:
Smithy - 1
Arsenal - 2
Training Ground - 3
Apothecary - 4
This would give the Barracks and Stables all 4 buffs and archery would get 3 since it doesn't need AC/HP as much as the other units.
I did not know about the synergies. Time to raze my city and start fresh lol
Yea there are a lot of synergies like this, some better than others. Selling does give you “most” of you material costs back. Also, a bit later into the act you do unlock another building for a 4th type of caster unit that also synergizes, but I made my own section just for them.
Thanks for the guide! I got a question though: Wouldn't it be better to put the 2nd smithy in the bottom left corner? Seeing as you are already affecting the Barracks with the first smithy and then you can affect the barracks and the stables with one arsenal (in the spot of your 2nd smithy).
I agree there are ways to optimize this, esp when you get more advanced buildings opened up. This was an operable early/mid game setup I experienced.
Thanks for this .. One thing I was wondering is how to use the "shield" and "dragon" buffs/de-buff. (The ones that show up in the little horizontal toolbar with 9 slots) I figured out how to use the teleport action that shows up here, but I cannot get the shield buff or the 'dragon fear' de-buffs to work.
So basically build everything in each fort! thanks!
Well once you upgrade a lot more building options become available…
Merge issue : the issue is one UI entry does not work (the big i to the right near the bottom opens an army interface with move/exchange icons that do not work) , but the other UI entry (the small icon to the right) works.
can someone explain the unit bonuses from the buildings, the unit sheet doesn't seems to be showing any
Great information. I was wondering if I should build a hospital and do I build all three of those military facilities at the start of the game. What other types of buildings might you suggest? Thanks.
I hate losing units so I tend to build a lot of hospitals to maximize how many units survive at the end of combat. But it depends on your playstyle. You will get a lot of towns to upgrade and all the buildings buffs stack across all the towns so experiment and find what works for you.
I prioritize utility buildings (that allow you to teleport, have your main party rest etc) then I focus on buildings that increase unit recruitment and survival, but that’s just me. Some of the buildings I mention don’t get unlocked until chapter 3 or later. Feel free to experiment in act 2.
what goes in the 3 open slots in the first building area you did? i hope you make a full video about this building stuff
Hospitals. Hospitals everywhere. Hospitals OP.
Either that, or sancuaries to get your Energy production going.
Does anyone have an optimal layout for this? Is it better to put the military buildings in the 4x4 hex so you have more room to put adjacent buildings?
yes, especially for later acts.
I am literally here because of that stupid army and its one shot general. Great tips!
Glad it helped. And he’s that fight is such a pain when you first start!
Careful. According to many, many people on Reddit, the training grounds is currently bugged. It's supposed to make your units do 110% damage, but instead it makes them do 10%. I don't know whether you've noticed that in your own gameplay, but worth watching out for.
Wow that’s a horrible bug. Well my shieldbearers do low dog but I assumed its cause they are sword and board tanks
How can I find the general of Garission 4/4 size ?
Your math blows my mind
Thank you for the tips. I'm actually enjoying the system so far (in chapter 3 currently). Maybe I should do a new HOMM playthrough after I'm done with WotR. ;)
Or play through WotR 2-3 more times. I can’t wait to see what some of the other decisions lead to…..
@@LeeroyGaming I think I'll need a break after the about 120 hours I presume it will take in total. Lots of other games which need revisiting or just a new game altogether. But I think I'll get back to it before long, just playing around with mods and other decisions.
@@magnuskno yea the game is a huge time sink. I’m personally struggling to figure out what to cover. See some god awful guides get a ton of views because of catchy build names. Too many things to make videos on. Think I’m gonna have to make a few more mainstream guides. Sigh, life on TH-cam!
Didn't know I could build in Drezen until way after building in other settlements 😣
thank you couldnt find where/how to actually build
didnt expect "enter" not to make my characters enter like a map of the actual base or smh
but instead give me a build option
I’ll be honest and say that the system is less intuitive than I would expect. It has gotten a lot better over the last year though.
That lvl 6 army next to greenfiels is absolutely bananas. Its literally impossible to beat with a level 6 army of your own, their general one shots all your troops. They need to nerf it 😅
Yea, that’s why I mentioned it specifically. Luckily it’s skipabble
I was able to beat it with the lich army of undead but even then he decimated units of 600 skeletons
So cheat basically? No thanks.
@@Marko25Polo He basically targets archers/back line first, so if you fill the backline with ranged/spellcasting stacks of one, as long as your frontline and general has enough power to finish the enemy troops out in 4 turns, you only lose 3 units. A bit metagamey though. The actual army itself isn't too difficult it's just the general that's op.
@@paulmcmahon5875 I like it, great strategy! :)
So, how do I recruit new skeletal units as a lich? Like al my skeletal armies were like slowly destroyed cuz I couldn't reinforce them...
you should be getting extra skeletons from kills, plus i believe there is a building line for skeles.
I heard you can auto combat battle and if you don't like the results, you can play the battle
By default it auto enters combat,, however I remember in beta being able to choose an auto resolve option before each fight and having the option to play it out if you don’t like the results as you mentioned.
how do you replenish energy points for your general?
Happens over time (literally) so when you skip days, or just spend days through travel on your main party it will slowly go up (it is pretty slow though). Does NOT go up during combat
Your building layout could be improved, if you factor in the 2 by 2 for act 5 recruitment. Filling those slots in act 3 with eco and support slots and demo later.
I agree that in later acts in can improve.
wait they are 2 by 2? fuck me. back to the drawing board.
Just liberated Drezen and I'm starting to build. I see no Main Archery or Main Barracks. I put down Main Stables and Training Ground. Do I have to talk to someone before I get the Main Archery/Barracks?
Edit: Looks like I was given these already and didn't have to build them.
👍
good videos. but you need to add your curser to the screen recording. when you talk about where to click there is no clear visual indication for where you are clicking
Good point. I just noticed that. Have to check my recording settings to find where I enable that.
so how do you turn on auto?
Question: Does unit size affect anything aside from the unit's health? Will a squad of 3 archers be just as effective as a squad of 70 archers, assuming they never get hit? Due to a glitch in my save I'm unable to test this myself as I am forced to use auto-resolve battles and can't find any information on this topic.
No, 3 archers will only do the damage of 3 archers, while 70 archers will do the damage of 70 archers.
@@SirCanuckelhead so the damage is multiplied by the unit size, awesome, thanks!
@@CandleLight129 *additive but ya :)
Can you disband armies? I do t have any use for all these dumb small armies with a dozen unique units that’s I can’t get more of. I just don’t even want to see them on the map.
@Botch ya, now I'm in act 4 and I see that. I'm doing semi evil lich playthrough so I shouldn't mind sending people to die, but it seems wasteful (both to me and my character). I real necromancer should raise their bodies up to fight again but I guess that's a touch too op.
How do you upgrade a fort? I'm completed 2 decree to upgrade forts and I dont see an option anywhere to upgrade them.
Make sure you complete 3 or 4 build slots in the level 1 fort. Then a red explanation mark will appear next to the city on the world map and you can click to upgrade. So again, need 1) complete the decrees (not just pay for it, it has to run the days down to zero) AND have build 3 or 4 a slot buildings in the settlement/city.
@@LeeroyGaming yup did all that. And I used to get the exclamation mark's but now they dont show up anymore. I've completed three decrees now and the option to upgrade doesnt show up anymore. Guess my game is just bugged now.
@@Sunglare1 :(
Weird, my Drezen started with a few buildings
For some reason, my first unit, I couldn't add troops to it. It had archers and infantry and nothing else. When half of them died, I still couldn't add more. I just sent them out until they were all dead.
That’s super odd as bare minimum should be 3 stacks. Weird bug?
@@LeeroyGaming that's what I was thinking. Even after my archers died, I couldn't add more
I have several "relic" cards that either say Diplomacy or Logistics on them.... but I don't
have any other cards/decrees in play, that are using Dip or Log..... so why are all the relic
cards "red" with no option for me to play them?
Make sure to click on the “decree” tab on the right. It will show which decrees are active (each decree takes between 1 and 30 days). If a card is red it means that one decree or another of that type is still active. If you’re under the wrong tab you won’t see the active cards that are counting down, which can be confusing.
Ok, I'll double check and make sure, thank you.
What I did to earn quick finance... each small forts I built the INN to just gain 200 per day for a while, that helped my finance for the beginning of the game. Early on you have limits based on your income and it will help you out.
Interesting. I wonder if that’s unique for a specific mythic path? Playing angel path I did not have an an INN as an option for a 4 slot settlement. Supply depot was my option that gave me like 3 materials a day alongside with the citadel and % to unit production buildings.
@@LeeroyGaming it does appear for Azata... i thought it was a standard choice. In any case, you get far more free finance then you get materials so material buildings win out in the end.
@@LeeroyGaming Appeared in my Lich playthrough as well. I put an Inn and a Supply Center in every fort to mitigate building costs.
Have you ever checked, if the tootip on the Inn is correct? It says, that it provides 200 finance if there is no army recruiting improvement building in the fort. If that is true you need to think much more carefully in which forts to build it.
@@Dee77777 each of the small 4x4 forts I only placed the inn, to give me a small boost through act 3 since it's when you are just starting out. What's the point in increasing your recruitment when you only have a small amount of finance to spend anyway
Being a lich makes crusade a lot easier - you can let zombies and skellies soak the damage and then heal them back to full.
It should actually not be allowed as heal should damage undead instead of restoring them but while it works like that, feel free to abuse it.
I’m looking forward to doing a lich playthrough once I’m done with my good play through. Although trickster looks really fun/different too.
@@LeeroyGaming Yea, I'm really fascinated by trickster one as well. But I wanna do my 2nd playthrough as a good guy so probably will go Azata.
@@user-qd8pb2xq7j right now my top mythic paths that interest me seem to be angel-> gold dragon (current), lich, trickster. Good, evil, batshit crazy … in that order respectively…
Can you split stacks when moving troops between armies?
You can but I don’t remember off the top of my head how it do it (it wasn’t immediately clearly) and im not at home atm. I think it was something semi common like shift or alt plus click. Could have been better explained. I only remember it because at one point I had my melee fighters split into two different stacks in one army (not a great strategy in hindsight, but it was possible).
the only thing i wished of the crusade system is to make harder difficulties :) as "standard was to easy
Yea. I agree.
it should be in game now, or you can use Toybox to fine tune the difficulty of crusade stuff.
Its worthwhile to build your engineers guild for 3 days....once its built, you can put down everything else faster.
You should really enable to show your cursor when doing these videos, can be hard too see what you mean if you dont know already ( when u say right over here) etc , otherwise awesome video!
Yes. I learned that lesson with this video. Sorry about the pain in not being able to see my cursor :(
On average how many generals do you normally have?
For the majority of the game 1. At some point in act 5 when I start pushing out I get a second one to defend cities/outposts from the random attacks that come from different selections. Most I’ve had is “active” generals
@@LeeroyGaming Thanks for your reply. I was thinking that you needed more generals. I have two but it’s hard to keep them both upgraded at first but watching your video helped
@@kurovader4078 that is the main reason for only keeping 1-2 generals. There’s not enough exp on the board to have a ton of generals at high level. Only refreshable exp is the random attacking generals that come to attack you every few days
My tip, build hospitals...as many as you can.. the 5% bonus to infirmary is not capped.
Good idea for overcoming the brutal one shot mechanic
On building synergies.
Unlss there is a benefit of conecting one building to two smithies the second smithy can be built outside to the left. This then allows to only use one arsenal.
Thank for input Samuel!
There is a 4th unit building you've missed, and efficiently utilizing all training buffs means the layout in your building recommendations is far from ideal.
There is one that buff health. I didn’t say it’s perfect but it’s good for starting out your city. Your mileage may vary and with infinite funds you can utilize all the building as you please. I just shared the ones I liked and found effective.
@@LeeroyGaming yes there's that omission, but I was talking about the Caster building, that lets you recruit mages etc.
@@amac5875 ah yes. when i made the video i hadnt unlocked that building yet lol oops.
I cant even get to Drezen. My highest rank army is 4. The demon armies had about 3 lvl 1 armies, then jumped to rank 5 and 7. I have a rank 4, and two rank 1 armies, and cannot fight anything with them.
Can you demonstrate how the tele circles actually work? It says you can teleport anywhere but that is NOT true.
Yes I have them built and should be able to tele between them but you can't as far as I can tell. So if you know how can you demo it for me? I have tried everything.
THere is an ability you gain when on the world map with a 1 day cooldown. you can teleport to any place that has a teleporter. So its your PARTY to any TELEPORTER LOCATION. hope that clears things up :)
@@LeeroyGaming What is it called? I have searched and can't find it. I have 4 useless telecircles lol.
@@LeeroyGaming HAha!!!!! Found it! Thank you sir! Omg life just got so much easier lol.
@@LeeroyGaming Btw, it's called Party teleportation lol. Gees for a smart guy I get stuck in stupid a lot.
My tip: only do mage generals. Magic is absolutely broken compared to everything else. Dont sleep on shieldbearers, I picked them for my main infantry and i thought i gimped myself. But if you get a big enough stack you can have an army with just those and a mage general and they can tank everything. Worked wonders when fighting other mage generals, just use defensive stance & fireball enemy units and throw the occasional heal on them GG.
I agree. Picking mage general was one of my first beginner tips. Fireball (as well as it’s single target equivalent) + cure = winzs.
it's still the same that fucking army, he 1 shots archers every time, or almost. Last time I killed him I was able to heal the archers back to 300 and he killed them with the second bolt. Good thing I had penty of Hospitals so I got the 300 archers back from the infirmary after killing them.
I normally wait until I can just kill everyone in round one before he gets to go. It still is unbalanced for how early that army is available. At least it never moves/attacks you
The year is 2024. The army mentioned at 19:30 is still broken. I hate him on a personal level.
I thought there was no kingdom management in this one ?
There sure is.
@@LeeroyGaming ah . I may be thinking timed quests were exed 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Honestly, it is just endless load screens. I fought with myself on it for a while, but eventually just automated it. It wasn't fun at all, which is sad because i love games like heroes of might and magic / king's bounty and had high hopes for the crusade system.
The battles take too long for my taste. Heroes of Might and Magic get it right by making the encounters much shorter.
Just get a bunch of marksmen and blow through everything they deal the most dmg you gotta defend them tho since they're squishy af
Merging Armies, infirmary...yeah, all that things are realy "advanced" if you don't read the ingame tips and have never played an game before. But okay, I think there are people out there have use for it.
Correct. You’d be surprised how many people skip/don’t read/disable tips. Also you’re commenting now after weeks of the game being out. When the game first came out there was a torrent of confusion. So this video helped a lot of people.
I quite disagree with the citadel tip. The only army that will siege your town are the roaming armies that spawn once a week on the same day you are able to buy new units, and you'll get a notification that one is moving.
On top of that you can see them coming and assume the their path by whatever outpost is closest to them. They also spawn in the same general area and look significantly different than other armies (almost like a paler brown goblin imo.)
So given you know when they are going to spawn as well as which general direction and where they are going, which will likely take like 5 days for them to reach any and another 3 to seige it, you should reasonably have enough time to react and pull back your troops.
Also the roaming armies, as far as I have seen, don't have generals and are pretty midling. They aren't the easiest enemies on the map when it is available, but they are far from hard so they are a decent exp farm for your 2nd general
Merging should have been in the basic video, as it is essential and the game does not make it clear at all
You are correct: it was so basic that I did even think it add it to the first video. Reason I put it in the second video is because I had so many people in comments mention it. I think I even said something to that effect when I mentioned the tip.
ADVANCED TIPS
...
How to merge armies... :facepalm:
JEZUS.. second one is about infirmary... ffs *closing this crap*
The most boring aspect of this game tbh lmfao. I'd rather have a "pick a text decision" event for each encounter in this context rather than the boring system they have in place here. Luckily, the rest of the game redeems this one aspect.
agreed. I mean I dont mind it. I much prefer the way pillars of eternity did it with simple but beautiful storybook segments and a few options to choose from. Both kingmaker and wrath both would benefit with losing these aspects of their gameplay altogether imo but thats just me. To be fair they give you the option to automate but then you lose out on certain things too.
They tried to go above and beyond expectations with this system, but they did miss the mark. However, as you said, the rest of the game is amazing AND some of the choices that depend on your background are reallllyyy cool.
@@Terron29 I respect their decision to give you the option to automate. So if you hate it, automate and move on. And if you want to push through w the system , warts and all, then you have that option too.
I like it and am very impressed with the game as a whole
This stuff made me completely lose interest in the game, and worse.. if it gets swapped to auto you miss out on a heap of cool stuff.
Such a terrible game design!!
its very simple if you have a basic grasp...the only gamey thing is taking mage generals over archers or fighters. You dont want to do attrition battles in this game unlike in Kings Quest or HOMM.
To each their own I love everything about this game
so terrible that you can auto past it or if you do engage with it get cool stuff... How dare they!
do you know what a curser is that thing on your screen that points at stuff, try it, when you say look here as your going over numbers it's lost I THINK I will look for a good channel this one sucks
Thank you for the feedback. Have a blessed day. Sorry for the disappointment in the video.
