This should be a definite bug. My dwarf warrior (1st recruited char) and elf priest (3rd recruited char) are dead. Only my mage is left still in play but the game ended when my elf died.
His victory points are full. In this situation you lose. Post edit: remember that victory points are not always the same. Your characters are still worth 2 stars, but he only needed 4 to win.
oic ! Thanks ! I didn't recall Gary say anything about victory points, maybe that's why. At least, I learnt it the hard way
On the button that says "Replay (2 more attempts)", is that the number of tries you have left until you have to wait for the mission to refresh?
No, that's the number of tries before you have to start the adventure over. You can still keep trying it, but you have to do the earlier encounters, too.
Ah, so you have so many fails ber battle before you have to do the whole advernture over again. That's pretty cool.
To be clear: As far as I can tell, you have three tries per individual battle. If you're not properly prepared, this can lead to a situation where you play the first battle three times, barely win it on the third, play the next battle three times . . . AND THEN there's something that doesn't appear in the above screenshot: what happens once you've used all three and failed. You are normally forced to quite the whole adventure (and restart if you wish), but you can pay to earn a new three tries at the battle that defeated you. I believe it is 25 gold or 10 pizza. Then, of course, if you finally win, you move onto the next battle and have three normal tries at it. So you can wind up retrying the battles in an adventure quite a lot if you're stubborn.
@Sir Knight: I thought you got three strike per adventure, not per battle? I'm pretty sure that I've for example failed once in battle 2, then succeeded, then failed twice in battle 3 and gotten the adventure over (pay pizza or gold to try again) screen.
Hmm . . . Well, there's only one occasion where I've used the mechanic to its fullest: a time that I spent my last pizza getting more retries. I could have become confused and counted more total tries than I truly had. I'm not sure, though, and will have to play (and lose) more.
It's 3 tries per module not per map possibly more later and there could possibly be checkpoints where it resets but i haven't seen anything like that.
The reason that you are losing this battle with only two deaths is that it's set up for tutorial play with just two characters. That's also why Gary hasn't talked about victory points yet.
