Warbanners game is very hardcore! Careful planning of actions is a necessary condition for the survival of your army. Without studying game mechanics, without using potions and artifacts, without thinking about each move, enemies will quickly destroy your army! Warbanners - this is a real challenge to your tactical thinking!
I want to share with you those tips:
- if you are not a hardcore fan, put the difficulty level "easy" at once! Warbanners - a game with a high level of complexity - even with a "light" level of complexity, enemies are very dangerous.
- your alter-ego in the game is Roderick. This is a good warrior who wields the " Heroic Cry" skill. Try to apply the " Heroic Cry" on the first turn, cover as many of your units as possible. Also, Roderick has a passive "Commander" feature - it gives a bonus to Accuracy and Evasion to all allies within a 2-cell radius. This is a very good bonus, keep Roderick in the center of your army!
- Roderick and all swordsmen have a passive feature " Formation". Keep your melee fighters in pairs and each of them will receive a bonus to Evasion.
- in any case, do not let enemies to the magicians and archers! Artificial intelligence likes to make flanking detours ...
- As soon as possible, hire a priestess!
- Do not skimp on potions! It is desirable that each melee fighter (they are beaten most often) had a healing potion. It is very good to have at least one "Liquid Fire" potion in the army.
- carefully read the tutorial! Spend at least a couple of minutes and flip through the in-game manual. This will save you a lot of nerve cells!
- Do not shoot archers in the crowd of fighters! Red icons above the units are shown by allies, which prevent accurate shooting.
- never fight against the creatures of the night in the dark! Use "Liquid Fire", units with the "Shining" feature (for example, the priestess), fire, arson...
- When you hire a priestess, try to apply the "Blessing" spell to the maximum number of your units in the first turn! And remember her skill "Meditation". The combat qualities of the priestesses are minimal, but they are great support units.
- do not necessarily spend all the action points. Sometimes it is more useful to save them to restore Stamina. Tired units are fighting worse ...
- In missions where you have to defend fortresses, do not allow enemies to climb onto the walls. Come to the edge of the wall and hit the enemy while he stands on the stairs!
- do not worry about karma, it's not the main thing in the game. Karma affects some opportunities in dialogues, hiring elves, achievments and for something else ...
- it is unlikely that you will be able to pass Warbanners without casualty. Small casualty are acceptable. In my senses, it is permissible to lose 1 unit for 2-3 battles. If you have more losses, you should think about reducing the level of difficulty. If you already have an "easy" - write to the forum. There you will either get useful advice, or I will immediately tackle the simplification of the "easy" level. I am ready to play the game operatively so that you will enjoy it!
- Quick buttons will make controlling the game much more convenient. I especially recommend using a space to end the turn, and the "B" button to select the next unit that has enough Action Points and Stamina to attack.
