raichean: So troll raids are now twice a month.. they were one a month, which pretty much permanently ties up your general, but now are back to spawning twice. Once that happens, only your general can deal with them, and you are doomed.
This is really frustrating to put it mildly. I thought 1.04 was supposed to resolve this, and this is kingdom on EASY.
In addition to this (bug? hard to tell, with all the other egregious balance issues), there seems to be some aspect of automatic failure built in to these. I tried save-scumming my way past the one-of-two that I could actually assign my singular adviser to handle, and he failed every time. I can tell there was some randomness (sometimes he just failed, sometimes it was a disaster), but over 10+ load cycles, he failed every time.
Now, I cannot tell what the exact mechanics are for the check (cause explanatory information for mechanics is poor at best), but I'd succeeded at some earlier troll raids, so I presume success would normally be possible. I've also already killed the troll king and effectively expunged the trolls from the kingdom, so logical consistency is also in the failure bucket.
I like that the devs seem to be still actively working on the game; I just wish they had finished and balanced it before it was released. =/
Edit: I stand corrected; just to be sure, I loaded a few more times, and sure enough, he succeeded! So I have successfully resolved every single kingdom event which I was able to assign an adviser to (ie: all but the double troll raid events). Oh, and my kingdom is currently rioting, because I have no idea why and HOLY CRAP THIS SYSTEM IS BROKEN. That's all.
