All the other mechanics, deep, plagues, magics, orcs, etc. are interesting but they don't contribute much to victory points, so there is really no good reason to play them for high difficult. DE almost always give you 20-30% for free, while magic/orcs/deep requires a lot of building but can only give you 5-10% at best. IMO the victory points need to be redesigned to accommodate for different mechanics....

Hello, I'm having difficulty understanding this game, even with the tutorial. I don't really understand what I'm doing haha. I honestly, don't even know what all these commands even do. I'm just clicking what the tutorial tells me to do and I know the goal is to "take over the world.." What's the best way to think of this game as, I think it's the theme that is throwing me off?...

It feels like you start sneezing and everyone just puts wards at the other end of the world. I need some help, what are you guys' strategies for the first phases of your expansion? What do you look for and some tricks that work well? Any synergies I might have missed with agents?...

The game says X out of 500 turns, seriously, once tutorial is off, even the basic strats are 30-40 turns. At 500 I will not have touched more than a few cities at best, what happens then?

Playing the tutorial, have just defeated the hero and now have the objective to win by spreading shadow, but am trying to infiltrate Datere Village in the next kingdom to the east. When I try to infiltrate the village using The Cursed I see "The requirements to enable this challenge have not been met". Most challenges look to have orange text detailing the requirements, but infiltration doesn't. Is there a basic condition for it to be used, or is it just the tutorial not letting me?...
