Testplay Red Sands Extended

[ecania]

Heya Erki

Good to hear from you, yes that spot i know of, will try and fix it, its a bit annoying but you can get through it.

The version you play have some found bugs, the most serious is trap medal and 4-5 items with leadership reduce for some troops.
This is fixed for next version.

Erki, how do you feel about the balance / difficulty. very important for me to know since trying to find a good balance.

Thanks again Kiras for the bugs.

Now you can sail around Scarlet Island
Rock on bolo is fixed
Sarcophagus and chest on Rusty is fixed
Annoying passage on Debir fixed.
Spirit of fight, no idea what it is

Spirit of Fight is the human racial bonus added in Red Sands. Gives you a chance to have a second move.

Ok, ty Kiras, didnt know that.

Hi Ecania,

I always play on normal difficulty and so chose easy here. Playing from Debir to Scarlet Island felt much the same as in vanilla game on normal. The game balance has been right so far, (on Debir I can get enough leadership to tackle Scarlet) but perhaps I've made playing a bit too easy to me, since I have acquired 2350 leadership from Glory skill and items. I have played a normal Paladin game to level 5 to and shall continue to see if I would like it better.

Sounds great Erki, if you find it to easy after a bit , just pop up to normal and try it.

After next update you can surely do that , as I am adding a huge Cave wich will help level up if you get stuck with to hard enemies.

I've started hopping all over, not sticking to the sequence anymore. A lot of the later fights have been scaled way up over what I'm used to, but that's a good thing, since I'm also more powerful. Level 46 and all skills maxed - incidentally, I have ~100 mind and ~250 magic runes spare. Might runes were the limiting factor, as always for mages. Earlier on, I was religious about always digging up chests on the battlefield. Once it was obvious I was going to max out skills, I focused on leveling the dragon instead.

I have 69 int and a 7590-13115 damage black hole. Biggest threat right now is undead, since I can't use magic shackles on them. Given the upscaling of the enemy armies, I'm really glad I'm playing a mage. 2x spells a round is just so useful for controlling any fight.

The bosses have been jokes. I just killed the frog in one round, despite the armies on his island being rated up to lethal. The spider took me two rounds.

Ok nice going Kiras.

Bosses I can rasise hitpoints on, can go throught them later on.
The new Cave is more or less done with textures, so gonna put out armies soon.

Experimenting with adding some quests, starting add them in the new Cave.

Enemies are scaled up jeah, so thats why i need to know if they are okey in higher levels, I also need to know if medals work on level 5+, dont edit those since some writes in more then 1 file.
