| I actually found the controls to be quite easy after you get used to them, although I found myself taking the same stuff into every battle. Every battle it'd be my Heavy Infantry unit, Heavy Cavalry, Archers. Just those over and over and over again.
I found the game really hard the first time I picked it up, but I came back to it a few months later and beat it rather easily (the original, not KuF:Heros). My tips would be to
Heavy Calvary is God. Use waypoints to 'grind' on enemy units. Never keep them still. Never leave them engaged in combat unless its to specifically tie up enemey archers. Just have them run over and over and over certain units, it disrupts their formation and does some decent damage. Holds them and softens them up for your heavy Infantry's arrival.
Never forget to use trees. If the enemy has to many archers, hide in the trees and slaughter their infantry as they come to you. Even better, wait on the other side of the trees so your archers can help you kill as their infantry comes out onto the other side. And trees burn. Gloriously burn. Fire arrows can slaughter any infantry stupid enough to be in the woods alone.
Resistances are the name of the game. Never neglect to equip your soldiers with armor. Keep in mind what they're often going to be facing. Equip infantry with ranged and melee resists. Knights need electric resist help. Try to cover your weak areas. And remember, the armor your leader wears also confers bonuses on the unit. So your primary heavy infantry unit will have TONS of resists thanks to your commander and his 2 lieutenants. This is probably what made the game tons easier for me. By decking out the command squad it turned my normal unit into a nigh invulnerable killing machine.
Its to bad my Xbox is broken or I'd go pick up the new game |
