I was just running the demo. It would be helpful to know if balance issues have been fixed! Here are mine if you want to pass them along: It seems like 90% of the game is hitting "demand tribute" (there is zero difference between demanding resources and demanding manuscripts, and having to spend turn condensing tribute cards to better fit slots is gay), hence Charisma is by far the only starting attribute that matters (even if you want points in other attributes, the best choice is always bumping charisma to start and just paying to increase your stats with the extra tribute) and Cardinal of Hell the only worthwhile perk. The negative perks practically cripple you and don't give nearly enough points considering how big a drawback they are (-10 for only one order a turn?). Why bother investing in destruction rituals when having better legions/heroes gets you more prestige and kills his stuff better? Why bother investing in deception to steal things when investing in Charisma allows you to outright buy them? Prophecy is entirely dependent on chance in drawing a "fuck you" event card (excommunicate a player? jesus!) so it's either worthless or breaks the game (yet still gives you no prestige). Why do I have to click on multiple red buttons when a double click on one spot would suffice? Why do so many abilities not have any tooltips and force me to alt+tab back to the manual? Why won't it ever tell me what requires attention before I can end my turn? Why won't it ever tell me what movement rule forced my legion to stop? Why are all players the same color? Why aren't there said differential colors marking areas of control on the map? Why is there a 5 second delay changing the zoom level? Why does it bring me to a commit tribute screen for actions that don't require tribute (declare vendetta)? Try reading all that in a Confused Matthew screaming voice! This game actively does not want you to play it. |
