Starting new game on later islands is pointless

[jjmelior]

I can agree that playing starting island over and over again was boring, but starting new game on later islands is unplayable. There were balance to face player having full stash of gold and some archers and builders at start.

So to beat last island you have to start with previous island, or even two island earleir to get some preperations. I could understand that, but if you fail your game after playing two-three island, and you have to start over again it makes me... angry and sad. I honestly put game away for a while.

There should br IMHO an option to simply restart island with the same resources you arrived with. Otherwise for me game is simply frustrating.

If you save your storage_v34_auto from /localow/noio/kingdom in a seperate location (maybe on desktop) and replace it with that save you can restart from last point your quit and saved.
This is cheating though.

It is not pointless at all, it is just harder. I have played this game so much now that I think it is too easy. And if you start straight at last island it is a bit harder. Still the unicorn makes it easy, at least if you have more than 2 camps in the level (but the last island looks like it always have just 2 camps).

If it's too difficult, then why don't you choose an easier island? Fairly certain you can still pick which island you want to start on after defeat with the left and right keys.

I tend to start from the first Island and just rally for boat and knights then ditch around day 10 to go to the Fifth Island.
I tend to rely on all the spawns of shrines to make things work

Bulls*t. It's easy as pie. Just started at level 4. Unicorn + proper cleaning of forest and I don't know, where hide from boring, because even mountain portal is dead

Hah, we have some folks on reddit saying the game is too easy. Best way to get around that is starting right on the last island with nothing.

It certainly is difficult without anything from the earlier maps, but hmm, what could be done to make it challenging? :P

i just started a new game on the third island but i dont have gold to hire a worker, archer, or build walls, one thing i can do is sit here and wait to die ....

I thought the same thing too once, but I found it too tedious and boring to go through the first island with each iteration, and I found myself losing consistently at the second island which made me mad.

But, once I forced myself to deal with the challenges of starting from scratch with no people, no coins, was the turning point when I started to figure out how to actually beat the game, the first time I beat the second Island I accidentally caused the merchant's shack to disapear, I pushed through and beat the game to my surprise, which actually prepared me for no merchant the later islands. After I finally got to the third island I began to just restart at the level I was on, and by my first playthrough of the fourth island I made it all the way with the boat to the dock but with no coins in the middle of winter, I had forgotten I needed ten coins to launch! After restarting once the 5th Island was actually kinda trivial, it was very long, but kinda boring.

Starting from scratch my priorities are:
1. Find the stag, you need to attract some deer for early cashflow
2. clear some trees, unlike "kingdom classic" your archers will make more money in a field, even if this means destroying the merchants shack (but don't destroy close hobo camps unless you have the baker)
3. don't upgrade your campfire to a camp until you've cleared some trees and are getting a good archer income.
(somewhere in here upgrade your walls to the first stone upgrade.)
4. once you have a good archer income, get the banker.
5. once you have the banker, put as much money in as you can and withdraw nothing until you have at least 400 coins in the bank.
6. If you have the bank by day 5 and put 20 coins in per day, plus the interest you will have over 400 by day 16
7. after this point put all money into your boat, and more archers, to take care of the rising threat. 8. then get knights, destroy all the portals only on the side with the dock, then launch the boat and flee
