Hi, vielen Dank für den Tip! Lohnt deiner\eurer Meinung nach der Kauf des DLC "Guardians"?

[F.Bolli]

Kurze Antwort: Ja
Das Addon gibt dem Spiel neue Features, die sich in das Grundspiel gut einpaßen.
Ich hab den Kauf nicht bereut und werde mir auch das 2. Addon zulegen.

Hatte von den Entwicklern nen Preview Key und muss sagen mir hat das ziemlich gut gefallen, habe auch gleich mit den Vergessenen gespielt und hatte eigentlich recht viel Spaß damit, es wirkt ein wenig störrend, dass man eine Stadt sehen muss (also nicht nur auf der Map sondern auch mit Einheit in der Nähe wg FoW) um einen Helden darin zu platzieren, denn danach dauert es wieder einige Runden, bis er interessante Spionageaktione, die dann aber durchaus sehr vernichtenden sein können. Aber man muss halt wieder einen Helden eine Zeit lang weggeben, dafür erhalten sie aber Fähigkeiten die am Ende iirc es ermöglichen jede Runde versetzt zu werden.

[F.Bolli]

Das die Spionage an Helden gebunden ist, finde ich nicht schlecht. Ansonsten wären die Aktionen meiner Meinung nach ziemlich op

[Nosferatiel]

Das die Spionage an Helden gebunden ist, finde ich nicht schlecht. Ansonsten wären die Aktionen meiner Meinung nach ziemlich op

Dadurch haben Helden jetzt halt 3 Einsatzmöglichkeiten: General, Gouverneur und Spion.

WB und ich haben gerade eben eine kleine Vorstellung vom Shadows-Addon aufgenommen, die er am Sonntag womöglich schon rausbringt. ;)

[F.Bolli]

Ich habs schon mal angespielt. (ca 200 Runden) Die Spioangefunktion ist nicht schlecht, sie fügt sich gut in's Spiel ein. Man braucht Einfluß um Aktionen auszuführen, und der Spion muß eine gewisse Zeit in der zu spionierenden Stadt stationiert gewesen sein.
Das macht Meiner Meinung nach die Helden,(bzw den Kauf von Helden) und die "Sternchen" Generierung noch wichtiger als bisher.
Einziges Manko, finde ich, ist die Beschränkung das man Helden nur in Städten einsetzen kann die man mit einer seiner Einheiten auch auf der Karte sehen kann.
Wenn Fraktionen die Grenzen dicht gemacht haben, hat man keine Möglichkeit zur Spionage mehr.
