My approach so far has been, each time I start a new game I choose as different starting conditions as possible to my last game, so that I get exposed to as much of the game’s variety as I can. (Never played this game before)
My first game was OK – I played as Merlin with Halflings, intro difficulty. I had no idea what I was doing or what spells to research or how to use them, but I easily bumbled my way to victory anyway.
My second game is… interesting. I decided to go with easy and create my own wizard – Myrran, Draconian with equal number of chaos and sorcery. (No real strategy behind this – I just wanted a game totally different to my last)
I’ve learned that I like the “small land” setting. It has a better sense of exploration for me – it feels more satisfying to discover new islands than opening up a continent.
Magic power of the world is high, which I think was a mistake.
I basically have the world of Myrror all to myself, but I can’t capture any nodes, towers, caves etc. because they are too well guarded, and I don’t seem to have the right kinds of spells or troops to counter them! (Any tips there?)
Anyway, I’ll keep fumbling around with this. Hopefully I’ll figure something out. If not, I’ve learned a valuable lesson!
