What do you think what strength and weaknessess the characters have and how to play them best?

[Coconut Bandit]

Quite obvious. You play mostly by a second turn aspect (longer games, read below for more info) (you need one turn to charge up whatever it is you need to charge to use in next turn, speaking about the most profitable cards of each character).

Geralt is what geralt is - the witcher. He kills stuff well, and every second turn turns into a real beast. He have low mobility tho and if you're aiming at point victory you need to plan you routes well, to get the max benefits from monster kills. However he takes quite some time to regenerate and suffers a bit from bad luck. Throw monsters at distant regions - off his way for quests - to limit his point gain, put some bad luck along the way he needs to get through to assure point victory or to make his life harder.

Tris kills stuff well too but her biggest strength is her mobility if she have a teleport card, you can be pretty much wherever you need to be every second turn. She can't handle much punishment unlike Geralt or Yarpen and her gameplay suffers much from wounds and bad luck - use that if you play dandelion or throw strong monsters at places you know she'll need to go to, to use it to your advantage.

Yarpen is good all around, he can fight quite well, defend quite well, get gold and extra leads every second turn. He don't give a dam about wounds and handles bad luck quite well. Throw monsters and bad luck at places he need to go to or along the way to make his life harder, he'll get there eventually but will spend some extra turns recovering.

Dandelion is dandelion. He can't fight, tho can handle quite well sometimes (if you have gold and gold for attack card), but depends on dice roll much. He can get extra leads from other players around him and is quite good at actually messing up with other players by throwing his bad luck at them. Plan your routes along with other players on their quests for extra points while messing up with them at same time to assure point victory. Be careful with leads cards tho, there's a lot of ladies pissed of at him ;) If you play against him basically throw hard monsters at him or places he needs to go for quests - he'll need to recover or spend sh*tload of gold and then need to recover it.

The main factor of gameplay style is based upon the quests needed to win.
If you play one - you pretty much rush towards the goal, not giving much of a deal about side quests or extra cards for you character. You may want to go for side quest/monster/whatever that gives you points if it's along your way and you know you can finish before, or at least in the same round as someone else is going to finish, to assure victory.

If you play three - get some cards for you character, two first quests go quite slow (unless someone's rushing the main quests, then you need to rush as well) third one is a race, depending on points or rounds left needed to complete it before others. You need to adapt. Rush to win or get as many points as you can, while interrupting others as you character and your cards can.

If you play five - usually take your time, spend first rounds to get the most valuable cards of your character - the sooner the better. Complete the side quests as the game speeds up towards the end, every point can make a difference.

At all time try to disrupt others as much as you can and keep track on both your and others quests and possible routes towards the quest places.
Keep your best lead cards for the end (or the moment you really need them the most) to surprise your enemies with extra teleport, leads or getting out of fight that they thought would slow you or whatever (get familiar with cards in game and get creative in ways of using them to your advantage/enemy dissadvantage).

Don't cry about Tris tele being overpowered, as you get into the game you'll see that all the characters are actually quite well balanced and in some aspects very much like one another, only the toolset differs, but as you play more and more for 5 quests the differences start to blend. There's still some luck factor of how fast players get their most useful cards ofc. But that's the luck factor and not some char being stronger - so no need to be mad or cry about it really ;D

Lot's of people actually decrese the potential of this game, i don't really know why, as the mechanics of it are quite simple and easy to get into, but they tend to wine about imbalance or lack of interaction between the players, well it could use some more, but those currently available are deffinately sufficient, you just need to get to know the capabilities of each character and utilize the opportunities presented to you well ;) (like getting out of fights if others need to go to this place and you know they'll struggle or it will slow them down/make them use their extra cards/charges; plan using bad luck placing on the empty regions, so on)

Jesus i talk too much, glhf ;)

WOT too long to read. Basically if you play against the AI Geralt will win 99% of the time. If you play him or someone else. He's very hard ot beat because of the small amount of cards he needs to get compared tothers. The computer will give you a run because it CHEATs and often and the RNG is totally in favor if the AI.

it's too bad the guy above me can't see this but some people are so simpleminded they can't see the 1 in front of the 2 :))

Hey bruh, maybe instead of "TL;DR"ing that post above yours, you might actually consider reading some of it and you might find a few things you were doing wrong if you can't seem to win at all. Even with the AI improvements this game is still very beatable. Sure there is still some RNG, but if you can't handle RNG what are you doing playing a board game with dice rolling and card drawing as the core mechanics?

It almost seems like you have something personal against this game... its a bit weird, actually.

[>//The_FALCON]

I figured most of it out just by playing everybody once in an A.I. game and then two times more with Geralt. Though there are some interesting information there. I'm currently working on a guide since there is no english guide atm. It is still incomplete and I haven't added the information provided by you yet. I'm going to make it public now so you can look into it before I add those informations.

You're pretty stupid if you think I can't win. Did you read what I said about Geralt? BIMBO

I just pointed out the game is totally RNG and the computer decides who wins most of the time and most of them are Geralt no matter who plays him. It's loaded dice in favor of the AI most of the time just like I said about the girl who rolls the eyeball everytime she needs it in another post about this crappy game.

But, if you're that simpleton to see it well have fun playing a romper room kids game then. :)

It's not like there's no RNG in other games, no need for luck but only in this game ...

It's in every game. The luck decides whether you win or lose, if there is such thing in the game you're playing.

Actually you're wrong again of course. Play a game called "Conquest Medieval" and tell me where the luck comes in? Luck because another player isn't skilled? Not the same as RNG where everything is determined by the computer. Conquest Medieval is all about the PLAYERs skill. Has 1% perhaps to do with luck as mistakes can be considered luck to the other player. The MAJORITY of the game is SKILL based though and not RNG luck. ;_)

It's funny how you jump to insulting others, without even realising that i wrote on the multiplayer aspect of the game, not playing vs AI. Guess small penus will never change - unleash teh fury lol

[IroncladMerc]

This game is an implementation of an actual board game, if you don't like the RNG, play something else. Why come in here with your constant negativity? Put something positive into the world for once.

[X-the Unknown]

Yeah I guess so sorry you have a small one and can't spell. :)

[Coconut Bandit]

Thanks for proving my point, dun worry we love you as you are ;*

Do you understand free will and freedom? I'll go anywhere I GD want to and say any GD thing I want to within the parameters of the moderator on that forum. So, you can take your high and mighty morals and stick em where the sun don't shine buddyBOY. :))
