Ancients start

[ShadowAngel]

So how do you play them? My settlement was going good and all. And than on 9th day 6 fully geerd humans show up and kill everything. Is this a time limit you can play as ancients? Cos there is sure no way I can get a good number of fighters to kill that many attackers.

I always make sure to get the summons with the starting tomes. and then rush a transmutation room and then a summon room. you can make the crystals they need from several different resources. then just summon 20 void guys.

The Ancients are much easier than the other races to get established quickly. However, they face some extra difficulties regarding hostile factions that hunt them.

You can combat this by unlocking summons (a unique Ancient research option in the saga window) to have Void Woken and Void Imps fight for you. The only trick to getting a ton of summons is setting up your transmutation chamber. This is the room which will convert resources into void shards, which you'll need to summon more minions.

Hope that helps!

So apperently problem is, I had too few summons?

Could you add this to tutorial? Something like - summon ♥♥♥♥ ton of summons or youl get game over in 9 days. Cos this is how my second game vent. 10 days in - 3 fully armored humans killd 5 workes and 2 ancients no problem.

Daaang. Nice work! I believe they've always dropped arcane dust? I could be losing my marbles, though.

[pokede]

i believe they used to drop void shards instead.

Wow! Thank you!

I've got some more for this next patch too. :)

[ShadowAngel]

Yeah 30 workers was enough. After that - game becoms a bit too easy. I think Ancients need some kind a summon cap. Maybe 10-15 per ancient?

[pokede]

plz no
