Ren'Py God among Kings [v0.25] [SolidDoc]

[Sir Sam]

I like developing combat. I understand that some people may not like it, or that it feels barebone at this point. I should definitely make it a bit quicker

the major problem is definetly the speed of the battle. every turn takes ages since you need to manage everyone and see the status of all the enemies as well. tile movement is limited for most characters so you need to waste a few turns just to get in range of your opponents, and some battles have so many waves that a battle may end up taking 20-30 mins. adding combat is nice way to spice up gameplay, but you don't want it to end up artificially inflating playtime. the writing is not bad at all in this, but it'd be a shame if players don't stick around long enough to get through it because of how slow combat is. that being said. this is still a solid game and I hope the dev sees this as constructive and not just mindless complaining.

Pretty valid complaint, something that deserves some attention

You can speed up combat with the arrow next to the turn counter, maybe that'll help reducing combat fatigue, though an option to skip combat animations from the dev could help.

BTW SolidDoc, thanks for Valerie's option to train units it helps a lot.

[SolidDoc]

nah its not fixed this is what happens after the first turn in damsel in distress

I have a feeling that the issue is from improperly saved data. Would you mind sharing the save file from before the battle? I have run that map like five times already trying to get it

 

[Korat789]

This game is too hard, too many enemies, not intuitive system, seems after clicking your character and then unclicking you can't move it anymore in the round, heal shouldn't count as attack move, cause you lose turn after trying to heal your character, it should be extra move ( so you can attack and heal in same turn), idk what this game is about cause I can't even win first battle, I have 4 characters, enemy way more, and archers are annoying.

There is a god mode in the options screen if you don't fancy the combat

 

[Korat789]

and after losing just one character you lose, it should't be like that. Most games count dead character as simply fainting, you get them back after battle, that's much better system than game over, also let people save during battles, i have to replay whole battle...

Awesome and thanks for fast answer, don't take my comments as hate or complaining of some noob, I generally don't mind turn based combat i played many of such games, it's simply things I noticed that could be improved if you want, so impatient people could also play combat, for now I will check the game in god mode, cause I am realy curious about the story

 

[tehmasta]

Had this game on watchlist for months just to download today and see there's no way to rename mc.
Now i'm big sad

 

[DBAV]

I've seen that complain a few times here but I can't imagine why, I mean you can rename an empty MC but one with a proper personality is harder to rename and self-insert.

 

[SolidDoc]

Well, it's the norm in a lot of games, so folks usually expect it to be there

No pregnancy tag? The empire will collapse without a future heir(s). Shameful display, mi lord
