Telepath Tactics (2015) / Re: Not quite a bug...

Bottlenecked them at the bridge, with the help of generously applied snares and a grappling hook. Bandit axemen rushing in blocked off and segment the enemy ranged units, letting me slowly take them apart as they came in.

It wasn't planned, I tried to outflank the camp and dallied too long, saw the reinforcement arrive, I figured "Oh, okay, I'm dead now. Gotta hurry to the cage next time. Now, before restarting, let's hunker down here and see how many of them we can take before getting overran." Turns out, the answer was all of them.

Telepath Tactics (2015) / Not quite a bug...

More of a design concern. During the 4th (?) mission (rescuing the captive spriggat on behalf of Lakshmi Bana), killing all the bandits before releasing the spriggat from her cell results in an immediate end of the mission, which makes sense, but it then proceeds without adding the spriggat to your party. Now, one would think that with the entire bandit camp slaughtered, our heroes would've had more than enough time to rescue the prisoner and take her with them, but apparently its not the case.

Prolonging the battle even after the enemies are dead to allow the player to manually interact with the captive OR automatically triggering the scripted interaction once the last enemy dies would make more sense than "Oh well, we killed everyone, let's forget the actual reason we came to do it and go home now".

Or was that fight meant to be un-winnable and forcing the players to rush in, smash-and-grab and retreat from bandit reinforcements?

Telepath Tactics (2015) / How to download the game?
April 13, 2015, 08:48:36 AM
This might be a silly question, or I'm missing something obvious, but... Where can I get the game? I don't see a download section or a login button anywhere on the site. Had a direct download link from BMT Micro but after digging out the email, it turns out to have expired in november 2013. I'm sure with the release mere days away, more and more people will be remembering, "Oh. Right. THAT game that I bought years back!", much like I did. So how do we go about getting our hands on it?
