Err... No Replayable Missions?

[Pixelica]

Missions can't be replayed? So how the heck I'm suppose to level up my troops and buy their equipments?

Thank you for all the tips and suggestions.

If you're brand new, the game can look tough at times. Low gold per mission, and some missions give very little experience points. Rest assured, that you'll get enough experience and gold to buy some gear and complete the campaign. It may help to finish off "extra" enemies that aren't required, to get more gold/exp in a given mission. This can be done early on in Gerald's campaign.

There won't be enough gold to buy gear for every troop every few missions, but it'll be enough. I usually don't buy gear until my troops are level 20-30, so I can just buy them gear once and then they're pretty much set for the rest of the campaign.Gear caps at level 30 (technically 29).

Well that is just weird progression mechanic, any game with rpg element needs some source of exp/gold farming.

Look at the unit tech trees and plan the proper builds to level each unit up. Getting a good healing unit is super essential in every campaign.

Nope, you just gotta budget your xp and gold wisely. I want to think back in the day I had to restart some campaigns because my build just wasn't working. I was also in middle school at the time so that might just be a classic case of the big dumb.

Make multiple save files. Reload an old save if you maybe budgeted wrong. There are some basic things that can help you even if your level is low like exploiting weaknesses of other units.

Not necessarily. This game itself is a bizarre hybrid of genres that happened to be executed very well, so it's going to be a weird experience playing! I understand what you mean about farming, but this game doesn't make it easy like an RPG that lets you over-level as much as you want. It is a strategy game first, motivating the player to carefully select which troops they invest in with limited-ish resources. This is by design.

Might not be your cup of tea, that just happens sometimes. KuF is a lot more forgiving than Dark Souls though, haha. There will be missions that give greater rewards. How far along are you in the game?

I think that having no way official way to farm is a good design choice. Having to make compromises and your decisions count is really fitting with how desperate the whole war is in this game. You're a general on the front and you have to constantly think on the fly.

I think the most that should be done in the direction of "farming" is what the devs did for some of Regnier's missions where it's basically "defeat all enemy forces" and the story doesn't guide you as much. Also, the literal extra missions in KuF: Heroes. They're called "Unknown" missions and are purely an opt-in for some cushion gold/exp if you want it. To me that's a fair compromise but it shouldn't go any farther. You worded it great, CLG: in a game about war and attrition, working with limited resources is thematic and fitting.

There are some other RPGs that dont allow you to grind, like the older fire emblem games. The game is designed around this mechanic and not being able to just grind your way to victory is part of the developers intent. In my experience on the xbox, as long as you spread your exp across your troops, look up the job system to see what you need (like getting 3 melee on your archers to upgrade them into longbowmen) and level your characters accordingly.

[復活した黒]

Only way apart from story progression is to either glitch the extra exp (green number on your hero like +50), meaning you play to the point of getting the extra EXP and then go back to the world menu, or using cheats. For Extra EXP (green number), you wont keep exp from killed enemies normally, but you keep extra EXP. Gerald also has the option to get 14000 EXP early on, when you fight regnier and Hugh tells you to run. Flee from the battle (else regnier just kills you in battle), but stay close. Let your archer shoot Regnier down to very low HP and attack with gerald again. Hugh won't die at all, because of the way the battle is coded, so there is no way that regnier will attack you. After you're done, just finish the mission and look at those sweet 14000 EXP, 7000 per unit (which is the cap). However making it easier for yourself in Geralds Campaign wont make it easy for you in the 3 other ones. Kendal also has a mission where he gets i believe 50000 bonus EXP that you can constantly farm if you every look to max your heroes party to 50 (cap for heroes)

Since we're on PC now you can just grab Cheat Engine and give yourself whatever resources you like. The exp and gold values aren't obscured at all, so you can effortlessly max or freeze them.

No for this game, it's a great mechanic. Remember this is a RTSrpg. having to manage exp and gold is part of the fun of and strategy game. That said, you WILL have time to get great gear and units.

[Pixelica]

Yeah well it would be nice if the game told you in the beginning, i had to restart the campaign because the enemies is way higher level than all my troops, and there is no way to farm exp.

[DarkCow]

ALways make one savestate right after you won a mission. Then, you go trought the management part of the game, wich is almost the most important part of the game. Once you've done your upgrades, make another state on another save slot.

If you fail your management, you load the previous save, and try another approach. It's pretty tactic game, and a little difficult. You need to get what they want you to do.

I suppose you're a beginner and playing Geralt's campain ? If it scares you, you don't need to have good troops with geralt. It's a tutorial, if you fail it's more probably because you didn't understood what they wanted you to do at this moment.

Heroes, not Crusaders, had the mission replay feature where after beating a campaign you could replay any mission with any other character you had completed.
