I only played an hour, but this is such a fun game. Shame I have to wait 3 days to play it again.

Would've been nice to have it, but game's long enough for me anyways. No hard feelings really. LKS got released at the right time for me. If it had released later I'd probably couldn't have put in quality time for it with all these releases, my backlog and limited gaming time.upandaway said:

Game is on it's way from GameFly. I didn't even remember adding it to my queue. I probably saw this topic some weeks ago and added the game then, as a reminder. Imagine my surprise when an email came saying it was on it's way to me. 
I looked up the review average and was surprised to see that it's THAT high. I was expecting a good game... not a GotY contender.
If I dig the game as much as I think I will (kingdom building, adventure, and RTS are my favorite genres) I'll be promptly returning the game to GameFly and buying a copy. Based on what I've seen so far, it's like someone dipped into my subconcious and made my dream game.

I finally killed that blasted Golden Frog.
My stradegy worked:
OMG! :lol
Edit: Spoilered the way the boss fights just in case.
My stradegy worked:
Take 8 troops, throw one after the first spray to get the Frog to start hopping.
Only then after it lands, do you wail on it from behind. Rinse and repeat, you should be able to throw without worry of it eating your troops. Finally managed to beat him without losing anyone.

The good news is that he wants to make a sequel!
The game is probably going to tank, unfortunately. Probably for the same reason that Zack & Wiki did.
Man, if I were rich, I'd open a company that advertises good games from small developers like this one.

I love this game, As somebody who has spent the past perhaps two years on the sidelines, only really dabbling and not completing any games at all, its great to have come accross a unique and unabashedly intriguing title that has sucked me in and made me love gaming again! This game has done this, and I cannot wait to finish it a second time, and then move onto something new, interest replenished....

GDI I have a GameFly shipping center right by my house, so when I saw it shipped I got pumped, assuming it would be here today. I looked closer and saw that they shipped it from fucking TAMPA (I'm in CA) instead of the center close to me
Probably won't be here till Monday, now.

played a little earlier. i'm afraid i might finally permanently lose someone. Alice, my first archer, died when we were ambushed by club-toting super-oniis. i'm kind of afraid to continue :'(
Holy Freak! I just beat Duvroc with Little King. It took *forever and was super intense. I'd got him down to about half his life with soldiers, hunters, and diggers, but they all died. So I had to finish him with just Little King. I noticed a few things that could be glitches too. Early in the battle I killed two of the little Onii, but they just laid down and never disappeared until after I'd killed Duvroc. When finishing Duvroc with Little King I noticed that the life meter went down very very little with each hit. Eventually there was apparently no life meter left, but it took about twenty or so more hits to finally kill him. Shew.. I was beginning to think I couldn't finish him with just Little King. After killing him I wasn't unable to collect the present that was just to the right of the stand.
*For the sake of this post: Forever equals a couple of hours. I think that was the most intense battle every. I must have held my breath and stopped blinking at times. Afterwards I had a little headache and my heart was racing. I had that feeling you get when you almost have a car wreck or fall off from a great height. Must have been a combination of adrenaline and the energy juice I'd had earlier.

I'm confused.
I had only one farmer on me, and when I dismissed him, the message said "Royal Guard Dismissed".
That can't be right.

Oh! I thought the soldiers were the royal guards specifically.
I also notice the message doesn't appear everytime you dismiss them, I guess they thiught it was only nessesary for... once a day is it or something?
no, i'm a dude, through and through. i didn't end up losing Alice, but i DID lose one of my oldest grunts, Adrian. i was happy, since i had defeated the toki guardian, and had made my Purple Knight building, and was planning on sending Adrian in to become one of the first of my elite guard, i was crushed to learn he died. i even attended the funeral when the small collection of elite from the guard that were close to him. he was unmarried.upandaway said:
but Alice isn't my favorite, that's my Captain of the Guard, Letty. i tried different combinations something like 5 or 6 times before so i could get the best upgrade so she could be a Hardened Soldier.
oh, and does anyone know what time i'm supposed to go to the beach to see who washed up?

how do I defeat the enemies who run around in those rings? I send soldiers after them, they get knocked away; I send archers after them, their arrows don't travel fast enough. I'm at one point where these guys are dancing around wood and stone I need to break down, but I can't put my people in place to do that since they keep attacking.
and I'm still hovering around my general area so far. I've got my elite four-man soldier unit now which can destroy those bastard frogs in seconds. Joshua, Giana, Jack and Zack. Nicole used to be part of the crew before Zack took her place. For some reason the upgrade to elite soldier made her health drop. She's still in my royale guard, but not the my super elite fighter squad.
oh, and this is totally one of the best Wii games. Best Wii game this year unless NSMBwii is better than great; probably best third party Wii game unless I'm forgetting something (not counting ports).

in between their attacks, send your lumberjack or miner (depending on obstacle), and then have him alone break down the stuff. once the ring guys break their orbit, they're pretty easy prey for soldiers. i can't remember beating them the first time. i sent the archers after them, and it didn't do anything, but when i sent the grunts, they fell just like the rest of the onii i've massacred. meanwhile, Larry the Onii stands in shocked silence as i systematically eradicate his race.

speaking of conquest, i beat Duvoc in combat. it wasn't as hard as some were making it out to be. i only lost one grunt, and that was because one of those damnable frog things jumped out when i was trying to construct the bridge to the land of the jolly.
Duvoc is also SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome. he immediately hit me as Homer Simpson with hair. i also love that i essentially stole his daughter. the opening and ending cutscenes to the boss were superb and really made the character a riot. the music and sound really helped set up the mood. really a fun time. if anyone wants tips to beat Duvoc, if you haven't already, i can spoil some tips i suppose.
I think I may have played the game wrong or something, because I never cared nearly as much as some of you for the NPCs.
Usually I just grab whoever is in my path and go. I don't care for the health or for the items or whatever.
I played on normal though, so I don't know if it's a problem on hard.
I think the game would have crushed me if I did care. The game dives deep enough with all the dark humor with the happy childish style, it almost kills me. All the satirical signs about corruption and dictatorship and christianity and a bunch of other controversial subjects. If I also cared about the citizens or wives after all of that I don't know.

my take on this boss:botticus said:
* tried first with 6 or 7 soldiers - bad idea - recipe for mass poisoning.
* next, limited the troops to 4 - two of my best and two weak guys i eventually released of military duty. the two weak guys died quick as you can hardly avoid getting them hit at all. i deiced to use this opportunity for experimenting, so i let the remaining two guys die as well, and finished the froggie myself in ~15 mintues. all casualties came back washed up on the beach right after the battle, but i reloaded from my save, nevertheless.
* finally, got my 3 best grunts, and exercised the following hit-n-run tactic:
- stayed most of the time behind the tree by the entry of the swamp
- would send one soldier to taunt the enemy when it would go into passive/belch-only mode, while avoiding the poison attacks by hiding behind the tree.
- would not try to actively target the enemy when it performed rapid movements - the game automatically does that for you in such occasions, as long as you were targetting it originally. that helped me minimise greatly the re-targetting.
- would be very quick on the attack/retreat buttons - the game gives you enough cues as to when you need to retreat.
voila - a relatively quick, no-hassle victory.
