Made a pure magus using eldrich arcana mod
Dunno why people hate kingdom management so much (except ofc the usual contrarians and edgelords).Started playing kangmaker and I'm having a lot of fun. Made a pure magus using eldrich arcana mod for intensified spell metamagic so spell combat isn't inferior to twohanded attacks. The traits added from the mod were pretty cool, nothing grossly OP, aside from picking a trait that lets me cast intensified shocking grasp as a level 1 spell. I restarted after completing season of bloom many times, this time I think I'll actually finish the game. I planned on taking extra arcane points a bunch of times so I could spam spell recall, but you're limited to taking it only 3 times. The mod gives more feats worth picking at least.
Getting the kingdom management aspect right has been really rewarding. Everyone says not to build structures but focused building to pump up stats allows you to hit thresholds to unlock stuff. I wouldn't have had teleportation at the start of chapter 3 without building a bunch of shrines. Was reading the thread and saw that NOT taking the loan at the start was the noob choice. Still not sure about that. I spent all my gold in chapter 2 on BP to afford expansion + some focused building, and if I didn't rob the lich for more crap to sell expansion would have stalled. Only bought a few magic items. I guess if you didn't want to rob the lich you'd need the loan. Looks like I've passed the BP crunch, though, and can start saving for the tournament vendors.
Not sure what type of bombs to get for Jubilost, and feat choice for him is weird. Extra bombs for at least the first few levels, force bombs/infusion/fastbombs, anything else? Skill Focus: World? He's my favorite companion. Also struggle with Jaethal's spell picks, but I rarely use her so it doesn't really matter I guess.
This game is MUCH less gay and diverse than WotR, that matters. (Your first companion in Kingmaker? A halfling Bard. Very fitting for a fantasy roleplaying game. In WotR? A strong black female paladin + a lesbian to tag along. You can't escape the poz stupid goyim.)
It is repetitive, it has events that you can do NOTHING about before it crashes your entire kingdom into the abyss, and your buildings are generally not worth the BP for the effects. There is no tactics or strategy involved. It is just there for busywork at best, or literally give you a game over at worst.Dunno why people hate kingdom management so much (except ofc the usual contrarians and edgelords).Started playing kangmaker and I'm having a lot of fun.

Its nothing to write home about, but if you are immersed enough its lot of fun, imho...
Because it's boring, repetitive, lacking depth, pointless filler content; is that enough reasons or do I need to provide more?Dunno why people hate kingdom management so much (except ofc the usual contrarians and edgelords).

Funny, that's how I'd describe the rest of this game too.Because it's boring, repetitive, lacking depth, pointless filler content; is that enough reasons or do I need to provide more?
a lesbian to tag along.
You did the right thing, what you should not do is mindlessly filling up all your town with random building, but buying 6 on a few town to help you reach threshold n key kingdom stat is what you're supposed, it's that the overall balance of building and skills importance is very bad.Everyone says not to build structures but focused building to pump up stats allows you to hit thresholds to unlock stuff.
Not to mention you would need a guide to know the requirements to unlock stuff in kingdom management, especially the artisans and their quests.The problem with kingdom mode is that you go in thinking that you build buildings to make BP like literally every other strategy game in existence, but that's not the case in Kingmaker. Instead buildings are basically all never going to repay themselves, and most of your stat points come from your advisors completing tasks. Most buildings are either useless or something you build a few of when you're lagging behind stat growth. Only a few are actually important (e.g. teleportation) .And most of your BP isn't going to come from taxes, it's going to come from your throwing your hard won gold from exploration.
For all the crap that Crusade mode in WotR gets, at least building your city to the max feels rewarding and unlocking new things felt like a big deal. Here it's like... "OK, now that I've spent 200 BP on buildings I can earn... 0.5 more BP a month in taxes. Thanks". There's no feeling of payoff because your stats are constantly increasing from events anyway, its not obvious what any of the rewards are for ranking up unless you are reading a guide, and most of your decisions on what to build besides the obvious feel meaningless.
Isn't slayer the one with full bab and ranger and rogue talents?what class synergises best with heavy crossbows? i was thinking of either sanctified slayer or spawn slayer (COTW mod). the cotw adds a trait that doubles luck bonuses so ss wouldnt fall too much behind in the bab department, unfortunately the mod removes the bane ability from ss because reasons.

whys thatOr wait no it seems like the mod I looked at is a completely separate mod to the original AI mod so never mind
So yeah, fuck having COTW as a required mod
