Hey folks, just got in on the Humble Bundle, so far this one's the winner (I already had the PDS titles, and not too impressed with the other games)
I have a few quick questions. How long does a normal single-player campaign usually last? In turns or hours, I was just curious about the general pacing (for the sake of argument call it medium map with default settings)
If you start beside a holy site guarded by a giant fire elemental (I forget if that was the specific name, but it burned my starter guys to a crisp and ate warriors like a meat grinder), is it better to just restart?
I feel like I'm in over my head from the start with every new campaign, is this normal? I mean, if it's not a super-powered monster, the other campaign I started was right beside an enemy wizard who declared war on me, and we sorta fought back and forth for a long time (20-25 turns IIRC before I had company over and ended it for the time) without anyone making any real progress. The capital city defenses of the other wizard were too powerful, while my settlement, which I took from monsters, had a bat tower and could hold up pretty well with the stream of units I had entering the area.
Okay, I think that's enough for the QQ/QA thread for now, sorry for the paragraph format but hey, it's a quiet forum. Also, no DLCs are installed, if that's relevant.
