What about the solo experience ?

There's not that much to learn compared to games like Distant Worlds, Prison Architect or any CCG (to name a few).
IMO Controls, GFX & SFX are greats. Musics are a bit repetitive but there's no need to put more effort in those area.

What really could be improved is gameplay richness !
Everything is there and works great, build on it !


Yesterday I started the zombie mod in a solo server mode. It was boring... so indeed, like some said, I'm not even sure it's possible to make a great solo experience (except if you're a god at AI or mod something different).
I tried to change the default cycle map, a few things in script and settings but eventually stop looking at it.

The best thing to do if you're counting on your community is to give the best documentations and examples possible.

 

Builder
the whole basic's plus how to not fucking up your own teams base
how to build structures that actually defend something
how to build efficient
how to build traps that actually traps enemies (not only your own team)
how to decontruct an enemys tower as builder
how to be a one man army as builder and attract all the enemies attention

how to use items (boulder, boxxes, drills, trampoline, corpses, hearts, burgers)
how to use siege weapons

Archer
straight aiming as archer
parable shooting arrows
repel a kag carrier
1vs1 combat against knight
1vs1 combta against archer
how to use grapple to speed up your movement
detect flaws in enemies buildings to exploit with bomb, fire arrows
hide & assasinate
arrowladder

Knight
1vs1 Knight/Archer combat
1vs many enemies
collapse buildings with bombs, mines and kegs
wall gliding, elevatoring however you want to call that
stomping and bombing
defending and carring(kegrunner) teammates
knight tower stacking
single bombjump
flying bombjump
double bombjump
wallglide with bombjump
quadrupple bombjump
multitask e.g you try to bombjump while under fire (Archer) and an enemy knight moving in your direction.

and a personal favorite hidden skill for all classes, drop everything if the enemy has your last flag.

pls tell me that you mastered atleast one class under 10hours.

 

You forgot the scrolls items and griefing ;-)

The good thing with video games is that you're not at your job and you don't need to master anything at any cost.
Specially with multiplayer games, since everyone is the "NPC" of everyone else (to link with AI).

There's plenty of room for improvements and as far as you understand the basics you'll learn quickly.

I hope you understand that if I made this point it's just because I love Kag2d.
