![]() ![]() The campaign map, too, is suddenly full of tough choices. Different environments inherently offer different tools, cleverly preventing you from ever relying on a certain arsenal of spells-you have to turn whatever is around you to your advantage. If a hulking Gorelord is descending on my vulnerable archer, a tattered banner I can animate and tie them up with is a lifesaver. When I see a clanking Morthagi construct, I know that what I want is something made of wood, so I can shred their armour with a Splinterblast. The magic system-in which mystics ‘interfuse’ with environmental objects in order to cast appropriate spells out of them-turns from a clever novelty to a battlefield scavenger hunt of possibilities. In other words, the way you avoid getting one-shot by a bone-bot is to get them before they get you, not to waste time on running interference. Prioritising who you need to gun for first, and what you need to do to get to them, is vital. The enemies arrayed against you in Wildermyth- separated into five distinct factions, each with about 10 different types-have wildly different abilities. I learned to pick my targets more carefully. And what delicious thematic gravy, for a game where the relationships between characters are so important to buff them for sticking together. You have to know not only what you need each character to do each turn, but where they need to end up in order to maintain formation. This system grants a damage resistance buff to any characters that are adjacent by the end of their turn, and when you’re forced to use it, it makes every turn a puzzle of positioning. I learned how many bad habits I’d picked up over my journey so far.īad habits like leaving my party spread out, when ‘walling’ is key to keeping heroes alive. Over several disastrous first chapter attempts, I started to peel back the layers of Wildermyth’s combat system, figuring out how to survive in this suddenly hostile world. The wiki also says that the option to offer your heart is only available to heroes with the "Wildheart" hook, but the hero I got it with was a weird but proud slacker.Ok, back to the drawing board. ![]() Do I need to be on a Pine or Broadleaf Forest territory, or does it only fire on Chapter 2, or something? Or am I just having really bad luck? What are the requirements to get the event to trigger? Following from the above, when I got it but didn't save it in Legacy, I've been trying to get it for a new hero but no matter what I do I can't get Answer to Austerity to trigger again (and I've seen it so many times back when I wasn't actively looking for it!!). ![]() In relation to this, and having done it once, I have a few questions:-ĭoes this effect carry into Legacy, meaning you can start off a new campaign with the hero at 20 years of age, and they will stay at 20 years of age at the end of Chapter 5? Can they even have children? I don't know as the hero I got it with was already a legacy hero, but was not the one I was working to promote after that campaign. I read on the wiki that in the event Answer to Austerity, a hero with the "Wildheart" hook can offer his or her heart to Lord Evergreen, lose 10 from their Retirement Age, but never age anymore ("The years no longer seem to touch her"), potentially allowing them to live through a 5-Chapter game easily. ![]()
