i love how every boss can be found either in the boy's bedroom or in that box he created.

Me too. It was the frustration of all that hanging round that made me wish you could just summon him out, so I tried it, not really expecting it to work.
When it did (woohoo!) I spent the whole of the next night wandering around waking various citizens up from their sleep.

Any help of beating the tv guy? I keep getting sent to the wrong place. Sometimes 3 flags pop up but and sometimes some vague suggestion will pop up but usually the ticker just says the same stuff over and over.
The ticker tells you where to go. The flags are just possibilities. And when his health gets low (1/4 or so) make sure you don't jump the gun and pay real close attention to what the ticker is saying.robut said:
By the way, is it possible to exit the TV maze after entering it? I had to trudge through half that thing with 1 HP (used up the spring too :^() and then fight the boss, since I couldn't find a place to warp from... Good thing the boss wasn't too bad...
I've fought a lot of bosses in my day and many start to blur together, but I won't soon be forgetting the TV Dinnah battle. Fucking brilliant. Never thought I would need
to take down a boss
At this point I'm pretty much just extending the game as long as I can becauselike with a great work in other media but so sadly rare in videogamesI know I'm really going to miss this universe.

I am at Shishkabooboo now
I am convinced the game outright cheats in this fight

Just picked this up on the weekend after hearing Garnett mention it on Listen UP. Damn this game is fun. It isn't overly complicated but that is no problem. It is charming and the mechanics are solid. I'm up to the part where the Onii King sends you a letter and now I must lead an expedition to his territory and trounce him. Farming mushrooms for $$$. Alright time for some questions
1) What are money making tips you all can offer and keep in mind Im still early game.
2) How many people can I send to collect taxes per house without people hating me?
3) Can anyone explain the clock to me. I still don't understand what time is when on the clock. I have to rely on the actual sunlight in game to tell.
Bonus Question) Is this game anything like Pikmin? I never played Pikmin before and if it is anything like this I may want to pick it up.

WOAH hold it there bub, if you have anything resembling a soul you'll love Pikmin - but, make sure and grab Pikmin 2. GOTF? Probably.

Don't buy the expensive treasure finding place thing (actual name escapes me right now) until you can comfortably afford it. Build enough homes so that you have enough people to convert into units for questing. Particularly soldiers for guardians (six should be enough early on). Focus on opening new areas and getting all of the various units so you can go on money making quests on an easy and rapid pace. Those suggestion box quests are never ending so you can build up some cash doing them.Niblet said:
I don't think taxing has anything to do with people hating you; that comes from how successful you are in battles, if people die, and how much progress are you making in your kingdom. I think boredom of the carefree's is a factor too, but I'm not certain. And for taxing you can send in everyone in your royal guard per house, per day. You have to squeeze them all in before the next guy leaves though (I think). Taxing the royal area with a lineup of 30 is a big cash grab. :lol
There is one hand on the clock that points to the hour. The yellow bars countdown to the next hour.

I lost 16 people to Shishkabooboo.
Sixteen.
Up until yesterday, my entire regiment was 17!

YESSS. I shall tax my kingdom into oblivion. Yeah I'm eyeing that treasure hunting place, but I'm making everything I can before I get to that place. Just unlocked the modified compodium which make my life so much easier. I have 37 people right now. In terms of highest to lowest people per job I have Grunts -> Farmers -> Animal Hunters -> Lumberjacks = Carpenters. I figure carpenters are one trick ponies that are good to keep around but in low numbers. Lumberjacks seem more flexible, but I see no need to have them in high numbers.
As for the clock, the big thing throwing me off are the symbols on the clock. At around the 3 o'clock zone it looks like a sun. Is that decoration or is it indicating something to me? Also when is a good time to call it a night? Sometimes it super dark when I turn in and BAM next day I get hate mail for working them too hard.
As for Pikmin, I will be picking this up shortly. Hopefully Pikmin 2 is available in wii port fashion. Heard the GCN game is very hard to find.
a few hours in...
surely got myself a *lot* of hate throwing random dudes into the middle of fields before i figured out d-pad-down. boo.
it is, as i suspected, very fun so far. i definitely see why they didn't put pointer controls in though - adding the ability to move one way and shoot another would dramatically change the fighting gameplay.
do i need to worry at all about being "fast"? i've been really pushing each day, but i'm not sure it matters much...

Wow, Tyrant mode actually gets easier as you go. Just beat Tv Dinnah with little trouble. Only 2 kings left. I could probably finish it again by tonight.
I'm really sad to see this game end but I need to get to the backlog. Here's hoping something will come of that sequel talk.

I'm absolutely loving the game. Picked it up just a few days ago, and only a couple hours in. I'm on my way to fight the Onii King.
The game is just a plain delight. It's like this awesome mix of Pikmin and My Life as a King...which is great because both games rock fucking hard.
Send a dude into someone's house (literally aim and shoot a minion in front of a house door), and they'll collect taxes. You can tax any house twice a day, and sometimes you'll get 2000 instead of 1000.

Just send your people into any house and they will automatically collect tax money. Try to send all of them at once because if you do one by one, they wont let anymore in after 2 or 3 people. Also be mindful not to send people in to job buildings. I've done that about 3 times already. Its not fun when you pay to train 17 people to be lumberjacks.LM4sure said:
Maybe old, but Newegg has the game for $45 with free shipping, and no sales tax.
Ordered it yesterday morning and it should be here tomorrow.

I taxed people maybe 3 times in the entire game because I was afraid they would hate me as king
the patterns are fairly obvious, and with the right squad, you should be able to do it easily.

take mostly soldiers and at least two farmers (to dig out the spring to restore health; two+ in case one dies in the space ship part). No other class is needed there. The patterns are fairly simple. Only the final big rat has a weird pattern because he can't be damaged at times. for the most part, guard formation and timing is all that's needed. If you lose soldiers here, don't really worry about it.
