King's Bounty: The Legend
With much thanks to Quaranyr in the comment's section for digging up a lot of otherwise-opaque info.
A disclaimer; I play with the Good Old Games release, not the original Steam release. There may be discrepancies between these posts and your experience as a result, if you're playing a different version; I know for a fact the GOG release has some (fairly serious) bugs exclusive to it, so this is a very real concern.
In order;
Units
Humans. Also includes an overview of various broad mechanical details pertinent to units such as how Morale works and the details of critical hit mechanics.
Dwarves.
Elves.
Orcs.
Demons.
Undead.
Neutral Animals.
Neutral Sapients.
Extra: Gremlins.
Magic
Chaos. Also includes an overview of basic Spell mechanics, such as how Intellect actually works.
Order.
Distortion.
Rage
Zerock. Also includes an overview of basic Rage mechanics, such as maximum Spirit of Rage level.
Sleem.
Lina.
Reaper.
Skills
Might. Also includes a basic overview of some broad aspects of Skills, such as Skill Rune costs. Also covers the Warrior class in particular.
Mind. Also covers the Paladin class in particular.
Magic. Also covers the Mage class in particular.
Other
Bosses. The Legend's three Bosses, which are their own category of entity that plays by its own rules. Including denying you Rage.
Companions. AKA 'wives'. I don't go into detail about children; there's other sites if you want to mess with that largely-useless part of the system.
Turn Order and Damage Types. A complete listing of the Initiative+Speed tier of every unit (Though I leave out Level, and that factors into turn order too), plus a visual representation of how units are distributed as far as damage type access goes. The short version is: they're almost all Physical.

And that's everything!
... for now.
Thanks a lot for you king's bounty posts! They were very helpful and just professionally done.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it!
DeleteI want to thank you for your detailed posts and amazing dedication regarding King's Bounty series!
ReplyDeleteYour entries not only provide valuable information and raw data but also insights regarding gameplay and giving ideas about units/spells etc, combinations. So this blog was my inspiration (alongside hardware limitations) to return to KB game(s) and just did my first impossible run in Legend and I will try some of the other games as well.
Also as someone, who writes (for different game) big wall of text guides, I can appreciate the time invested in both checking all these information and writing the actual posts. Also your writing style is pretty good with on point humor. Since I am not knowledgeable as some of the other users commenting, can't contribute much to these discussions. Anyway, thanks again for your posts.
I'm a little surprised to hear someone describe these posts as humorous, but I can certainly appreciate the appreciation. Hope you have fun with the later games!
