Press the Z button to turn on targetting. Makes it a hell of a lot easier.
Two things.
First, practice your running-away skills. Running away is an important part of this game!
Second, when you meet a new guardian/boss, think about what you are doing - think about what and how many troops you need. Huge armies are not always best. For example, the first giant frog is much easier with just a few soldiers. So are the big mushrooms.

Hooooo boy. I just tried hooking this game up to my new (used) Sony KV-34xrb800 and it easily looks the worst of anything I've tried playing so far. My GF who loves LKS did a big WTF when she saw the picture quality because she is in the middle of playing it atm. She totally gave me the stink eye, lol. Here's hoping component cables do the trick, because right now the game blurs like a mofo whenever the screen scrolls vertically. There's also a weird horizontal distortion in the middle of the image whenever you move that's pretty distracting. I'm not sure why this game in particular is proving to be such a pain in the ass, because so far everything else looks reasonably serviceable, considering I'm running it at 480i until I pick up some new cables.

I've got the exact same issue, it looks as though the whole screen has been smeared in oil or butter.
I've kinda given up playing it now because of how it looks which is a shame as I was loving it at first.

Not really, the smallest I have is 42'' in the kitchen, it's a kitchen/diner.

Dang. That's understandable, then. I wish they had unlimited funds to turn out something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtBE7zR4mGg . The oil painting style will look fantastic for at least 10 years or so on a regular television, but how many dedicated gamers are going to have one 10 years from now? ...I'm sad now.

10 years from now, they'll be running games like this in Super Ultra HD on emulators with crazy Soaring Eagle 96xyz filters and swearing it makes them look incredible, maybe even better than on today's displays.
And I'll be crying in the corner much like I am today. :lol
maybe. sometimes i think it's helping, and sometimes i find the "stickyness" a bit annoying. mostly i think i just need to get better at the aiming partphisheep said:
except that if you're fighting a quest boss and you get more than 50 feet away from them they regenerate all of their hp! it's a bit demoralizing.phisheep said:
small army makes sense. hadn't really tried that. my citizens are used to their loved ones not making it back by now... it was for the glory of the kingdom, but i'm concerned about rumors going around that the king isn't a very good general.phisheep said:
i need to get myself a handful of hours and a goblet of deep red wine and give this another go. i'll like it a lot more once i stop losing so much
I'm deciding between this game and Pikmin (with new Wii controls!!!!).
Which of the two is better for someone who likes micromanaging and clicking as opposed to just walking up to an enemy and watching my army kill it with little input from me?

I didn't like the Overlord demo.

LKS is the better game, regardless of your preference in this kind of game.

Pikmin is a great game and you should play it, but LKS is the deeper game and will last you longer.

LKS director, Yoshiro Kimura, would like to do one, and apparantly ideas are already on the drawing board for Super Little King's Story, but ultimately it depends on whether or not the first one is successfull enough to warrant a sequel. But if a follow-up emerges, it may have multiplayer options!spidye said:
I am really into this game so far, but I have a minor/major problem.
My citizens seem to love each other too much, I have several marriages to perform at the end of everyday. As a result, over half of my population is kids. I figured it was no problem as the kids would grow up, but it's been a month game time, and I still have the first kid. Do these kids ever grow up, is there a way to force them? My town looks like a kindergarden.

Oh, maybe I am just not far enough to get a school or something? I have put about 10 hours and have only defeated one king. I have been doing all the sidequests I get each day, and saving up to buy the shopping district.batbeg said:
Guess I will have a ton of adults when it's time for me to receive the school.
Not in the shopping district, it's in the 'Royal' district - had to defeat some posion mushroom mini-boss first. My party got wiped out 4 different times on it, so I had decided to forget about him. Went back with only 3 people, and we were better able to run away from his poison attack. Once he was gone, whole new area to build upon.batbeg said:
It was getting kinda crazy, I have 108 citizens, but 58 of them are children. :lol
Time for them to grow up; although I might start to miss Alpoko Kindergarden.
I have to say, this game really draws you in, I find myself easily losing 2 hours at a time every time I turn it on. I've beaten 3 kings already, and done loads of sidequests! My latest castle upgrade is pretty swank; and now that I have several princesses, I can join in on the Princess Talk session each day which is pretty cute.
I lost quite a few people in battle during the course of the game, but I'm pretty sure that 99% of them washed-up on the beach the next day.
There was only one funeral.
I was fairly careful, though. I was confident that everybody that died in a boss battle would come back alive, but I often restarted if I lost a few people in side-quests.

How long would it take if I just wanted to play through the game "normally"?
I'm almost at 30 hours now and pretty much done. Still have a few princess requests to fulfill.
Had the worst King Battle today. I took a small party (~15 men)out with me to explore and gather treasure. I even had a child in my party, so I was really not wanting to get into any fights at all. A while later after it has been a long time since I saved, I get a message that my inventory is full. So I am thinking, okay, I'll just head back to the castle - but hey, what's up he... *cutscene*
It was the last King Battle and I am totally unprepared. My only option was to defeat him because I was not going to lose all that treasure and time. My only saving grace was that I had a few Hardened Soldiers with me - but they did not last long
talk about making an against the odds hard fight even harder!
By the last part of the fight my men were being wiped out pretty quickly by the steam rolling onii entering the field. Made even worse were the food carrying onii which fed the boss causing him to gain health.
By the end, I was down to my last 2 guys, the boss had a sliver of health, and food carrying onii were on their way. Had to whip out my scepter to slow them down long enough for my last men to finish the boss off. It came down to seconds, if he had regained any health, no way would I have won. Felt pretty victorious that we were able to take him down so unprepared.
Had my 2nd funeral because of it, poor Jaden, really did die for a good cause. Made especially sure to attend his funeral to pay my respects; his sacrifice meant I could finally save all that progress/treasure I had built, plus taking down the last King. A very honerable death.

Apparently his chicken head had an attack that turned them into regular soldiers and a bunch of my other peeps into carefree adults

Nothing's too enlightening about the postmortem. I'd have missed that prologue if the introduction they chose wasn't so flawless. The game's tone and the quality of the piece itself would be damaged severely, I think.

Finally finished this awesome game. Took me 50 hours all quests completed but tunesmith, 86 paintings collected. Last boss fight was way too long and bloated ugh. But, I got such a sense of accomplishment beating him after so many mistries. First RTS game I ever beaten this genre doesn't interest me aside from this and pikmin. Did a lotta things better then pikmin. I do think it could've used pointer controls- though. More peeps should buy and sing the praises of this game. Hoping for a sequel or a new game with these people.

Rising Star Games says it's still selling well in Europe. More hope for LKS 2 or LKS DS
Excellent. Best non-Nintendo game on the Wii.jesusraz said:Rising Star Games says it's still selling well in Europe. More hope for LKS 2 or LKS DS
