Some questions
« on: June 16, 2011, 05:56:22 am »
New player. I've got to say this campaign is very well-made. Here's some questions.

1) Is disarm combat king bugged? I buy it and it doesn't display in the combat king list.
2) Is there a max number of combat kings?
3) Does saving mess up the game in anyway?
4) What happens when you go back to earlier missions? E.g. you finish chapter 1-5, but go back to chapter 1 and complete it. Will everything get wiped from later missions? Will the items roll over etc?
5) Where do you get honor points and are their only use for buying lives?
6) Other than combat kings, what else can you do with boss points?
7) Is the campaign progress display bugged?
8) Is there anyway to check your amount of luck, boss points and honor points?

Sorry for asking some things that might be in the prologue.. But it loads really really long on my computer..

1) Removed from the game, was too imba
2) 10 now, in the next version 5
3) Nope
4) You will have the items and other things from the earlier chapters, for example if you have completed chapter 4 and start 5, you'll have everything from the last completed chapter 4
5) Honor points for lives. Before they were meant for Honor Shop Items but that idea sucked. In the next version Boss Points will be removed and Honor Points can be used for Lives & Combat Kings. However you can change your Boss Points to Honor Points easily!
6) Lives
7) Where is this "campaign progress display"?
8) Open your multiboard and you can use your arrow keys to check other pages of the multiboard

No problem. Ask more if needed. The campaign really needs some more helping text(and that next version).

Regarding 4) What I mean is you've complete up to chapter 5 and like you go back to chapter 1 and complete it again without the -give up function, how will it affect later chapters?

Also, how does the giveup function work? Do you have to sell all your items first then click give up or does it automatically convert all your items and combat kings into gold+boss points?

I'm stuck on chapter 2 now. Kind of lost. Don't know where to go to get quests and fight mini bosses. lol.

Is act 2 stealing bugged? I've tried stealing from momo chieftain and Mxxxxxx. It said I was successful but nothing dropped.

Chapter 1 is then like chapter 1 before. You have the same abilities and other resources you have chosen last time from prologue. When you have completed chapter 1 for the second time, it will effect to later chapters such as 2 where you'll get the resources from the last chapter you've completed. This is hard to explain but it's very logical.

Also, how does the giveup function work? Do you have to sell all your items first then click give up or does it automatically convert all your items and combat kings into gold+boss points?

Items won't be sold automatically so I prefer to sell your items first.

I'm stuck on chapter 2 now. Kind of lost. Don't know where to go to get quests and fight mini bosses. lol.

Chapter 2 is badly designed but it should be very simple: just cross the river, fight the boss and the the chapter.

Okay I suppose stealing is bugged too right? I says I successfully stole but nothing dropped.

Every puzzle has one omega orb plus when you defeat the boss it will grant you three. When you exit or defeat the boss omega orbs will be given to you.

Oh I get it now. I need to complete the puzzle 4 times and it drops one.

I thought it drops one each time you complete the puzzle in a different colour. Will post the bugs once I get the hang of the campaign. It has real potential. But I guess, to make each chapter as well-designed as the first chapter is gonna take alot of time.

Other things that could be changed other than bugs are like hints and tips. Its pretty hard to grasp the way the game works initially. I had no idea what dig spots looked like until I searched on the forum. There should be some sort of an introduction campaign to teach you the basics of eating food and that you can eat food even if its your boxes, etc.

Indeed there should be. But I don't know where to put that.

Put it between the settings and chapter 1.
There you can teach about recipes, combat kings, food, digging, stealing, alchemy, obtaining extra spells, meditation, etc.

It could perhaps revolve around the main character teaching his son how to be a warrior or something.

By the way, is luck bugged? I'm opened the lucky chest a few times with +1 luck items but I still get the sludge item. =/

How does one permanently get more luck without items?

Regarding -giveup, I think it should automatically sell items on all 3 heroes and combat kings. If not, currently if you -giveup in chapter 4, you don't get the gold from your other 2 heroes.

Not at all. Maybe your Luck was too low to get a useful item from the chest.
(See the item list for more details)
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

Yes I saw item list. It said many times that I should get a different item with +1 luck. But every lucky box i've opened from chapter 1 to 3 gave me the 0 luck item. Ankle, sludge, sludge, sludge. I was wearing the lucky clover, greedy armor etc.

How does one get permanent luck for -giveup? Now I only get luck through items..

Currently only through the Nightmare minigame in ch6.
