LGWI - King's Bounty (Mac) // Intro
I'm collecting viewer input for class and difficulty. The latter affects the amount of days I have to win the game and monster strength. As for the former? I've typed out excerpts from the manual -- Knight: "The mighty Knight starts with the best troops of any of the four classes. His leadership ability is paralleled only by the Barbarian, and his starting gold and commission per week are among the best around. The Knight's only real hamperings are a somewhat limited spell power . . . and a slow advancement rate . . . However, the Knight is the easiest character class to play . . . ." Paladin: "A Paladin's leadership ability is strong, yet not spectacular, and the troops he commands initially are numerous and dedicated, though not especially powerful. The amount of gold with which he starts and his commission per week are excellent. Shortcomings in leadership and rank attainment . . . are made up for by a real proficiency in spell-casting, though he does need initial instruction in magic to get him started . . . A Paladin is a strong character, a perfect blend of a Knight and a Sorceress, and is reasonably hard to play . . . ." Sorceress: "A Sorceress has the weakest leadership ability of the four classes . . . and her initial troops are among the most feeble. She starts with the most initial amount of gold, tied with the Paladin, and the highest commission per week. However, her commission reaches a lower plateau than the other classes . . . She starts the game able to cast spells, her initial spell memory is almost double that of her closest competitor, and her spell power starts strong and rises rapidly. The Sorceress' level advancement is also quick, second only to the Barbarian. A Sorceress is arguably the most difficult character to play . . . ." Barbarian: "A Barbarian's leadership is equal to a Knight's . . . and his starting troops are also mighty. His starting gold is the lowest, but his commission per week just might have the best scale. He also advances in rank the most rapidly . . . On the down side, his magic ability is weak . . . A Barbarian will fly through what gives the other classes the most problems. However, problems might arise in regaining the Scepter of Order for King Maximus in that his lack of magical ability will hinder his progress towards the final goal."
