TSoG / Boss battles playlist & questions about D'Kah
February 13, 2021, 11:18:16 AM
I noticed there's not really many videos of the game up on YT, so I made sure to record all of the game's boss battles, both mandatory and optional, for posterity's sake.

The hardest boss battle award has to go to General D'Kah in the Al'Dukkan armory, that one's nearly impossible! Does anyone know what happens if you do beat him there? And does anyone know what happens if you drag out the fight with Fernatus too much? And what do people think happens with D'Kah in the endings where he's not killed in the assault on Ravinale?

Aside from that, Hellion was the hardest boss battle due to the power of all his henchmen.

I just finished my extensive review/retrospective on Telepath Tactics, so I'll share it here!

It's rather long, I had quite a lot to say so it wound up being over 5000 words long, so I'll link to my article about it rather than copy it over, since it also contains screenshots and whatnot.

I'm hoping this doesn't count as advertising, I'm guessing not?

Telepath Tactics Campaigns / Re: Guard Llama

The new download link worked, I just finished the campaign!

It did seem that Llama's special Chomp and Hoof abilities didn't work though, they don't appear in the attacks file so that might be the reason. I gave him Possess instead by editing the classes file, because who can look his magnificent face and resist doing whatever he tells you to? Hooray for modding mods!

Sadly Anu Partymember and Bill Swordsmanface died bravely in battle. Their losses shall be mourned.  :(

I've ran into a problem trying to download this campaign, the zip file I download only contains an AOEPatterns and Attacks XML file, and the Attacks file seems to be incomplete:

"<Attacks>
   <Atk elem="Crush" name="Llama Stomp" d="0" cst="1" minRng="1" maxRng="1" shkMag="2" shkTim="10" strD="1.1" powD="0" defD="0" backstabFactor="1.5" sidestabFactor="1" selfHealFactor="0" selfFocusFactor="0" acck"

These are the files I get when I extract the zip file: https://i.imgur.com/3E2EaZx.png
