Pelting humans with javelins and stones from the water while luring ships to underwater ambushes is great fun. The dichotomy between fighting humans on the coast and fighting humans in land is amazing, and requires a very different approach. Guess what? We’re going to eat it too.Įventually, you’ll encouter Hoomans, with their fantastical trinkets, floating hovels, and distinct lack of swimming ability. There is nothing quite as fun as watching the enemy’s giant crab trigger 3 different ambush moves and defensive fires as they move to attack an exposed gaggle of newts. Just watch out for the carnivorous fauna! Setting up an ambush and seeing it go off without a hitch is second only to massive encirclements for giddy wargaming highs. Since Lizardfolk can maneuver quickly through water tiles, and can even hide in deep water and kelp forests, setting up ambushes and luring enemies into traps is the name of the game.
#FANTASY GENERAL 2 REVIEW REDDIT FULL#
Lizardfolk are not the strongest fighters out there, but they are excellent ambushers and full of crafty light infantry. The game does an excellent job out of the gate of introducing you to a totally different playstyle. Don’t let Szzlag be human, it may save you later!Įvolution goes that extra mile and demonstrates the nature of this harsh world through gameplay. Theirs is an eat or be eaten world of hunting and raiding where weakness means a swift death. The writing, possible decisions, and outcomes all reinforce the fact that Lizardfolk are not human and do not share a lot of human sensibilities. The story of Falirson and the Empire was entertaining and I’m glad to see that Szzlag’s story is as well. Tonight we feast on Hooman Egg!įantasy General II has generally done a good job of creating a fascinating fantasy world and backed it up with good game narratives in the base game. Now, to the swamps! Szzlag and his warriors creep through the kelp towards a Hooman settlement. It’s a good game and worthy of a playthrough. If nothing else, go check out the base game when you get a chance. I had the pleasure of reviewing Fantasy General II on its release, and I was very surprised with just how good a job the developers, Owned by Gravity, managed to do conveying the spirit of the classic 1996 game while modernizing a whole heap of systems. The third official DLC, Evolution places you in control of the Lizardfolk Szzlag as he attempts to devour his way to prominence across the Broken Isles.
Fantasy General II: Evolution is the latest expansion for the already excellent Fantasy General II released in 2019. You know it’s going to get good when one of the first things you do in a campaign is eat your siblings for getting uppity.
