Tyrant Mode start!

god rest your soul

and noname, you don't have blastworks, do you? i didn't see it in your owned games list. i guess i could try taking a video of it with my sister's camera, and posting it on youtube when i'm done. it'll be a while though. wanting to try to put a couple kings in the levels as sub-bosses, and i was thinknig of making something like that spaceship level at the end if i can.

it's really hard to see i this picture (stupid game not knowing how to take a shot) but heres an onii. ( http://blastworksdepot.com/games/blastworks/10326 ).

Heheh. I was actually thinking of making a Tyrant Mode FAQ/Walkthrough. It's tough, and I KNOW I'm going to die a thousand times, but I also know I can do it! Like every great ruler in history, I shall build my eternal empire upon the rotting corpses of my forsaken followers!!!

I don't think I can bear to play Tyrant mode. I like seeing my people healthy and buff! I don't want to lead a senior citizen army :(

still havent seen this in any stores

another bad side effect is your denizens never talk about anything interesting anymore, just about how their about to kick the bucket. very depressing :(.

What, do you not get the edicts and beans later on or something? Surely your citizens don't STAY at one health...right?

never got that far, so i don't know.

i'm afraid you'll have to see for yourself :b. i've all but given up on tyrant mode.

Well a quick status update, I'm about to take on the Onii King. It's actually been pretty smooth sailing so far (only lost one person so far), but there ARE a few changes to my strategy I had to take.

First, when approaching turnips and jars, you have to "poke" them from a distance with your king's scepter to see if there are any UMA hiding in the bunch, as their spring-up animation can kill your townies at this point.

Second, play it very conservatively with the bosses (who seem to have more health than before...). Cow Bones was still a joke, as long as you only bring four grunts (the fifth one tends to lag behind) and you only attack him after his failed charge. Give yourself three seconds and then recall your troops, because the head's shadow doesn't always pop up anymore. It's also not worth risking an attack when he sends his head scurrying about, as your grunts might get caught between the head and your king when you try to recall them.

Yvonne was even easier, now that her poison attack means jack (what, you're going to lower me to one health? Too late!). Just bring five grunts, and wait until either she lifts her head to spit the poison or she jumps straight up and slams down: either of those are your cues to attack en masse.

The Onii King's going to be interesting because of your lack of ammo. I'm thinking of bringing primarily archers, with just two or so grunts to attack the actual king, but I'm not sure yet. I DO know it's going to be tough, as the first time I tried him (on normal) he still almost killed my army.

Good luck...I thought I was hardcore, but I will not even attempt that. I think it's too much trouble for what it's worth. I'll stick to Hard mode once I finish Normal. But I seem to be stuck >.>
Once I beat it I'll finally play Pikmin 2. Once I'm done with it I can play Hard mode LKS
