    I'm the guy who sent you the replay, I didn't develop magic for Katarin because I always improve the logistics branch first since I have a mage who is in charge of magic in the early game.

      I used to do that myself, but I don't anymore. The blue line buffs don't give nearly enough power in the early game where every advantage is needed to start snowballing. The blue line is only worth it once the lord has gotten their key magic, dueling, or red line abilities.

    • @leonzoful
      @leonzoful 8 місяців тому +7

      ​@volodymyrboitchouk I would say it depends on the Lord you are playing with and what the core of your army is. I develop magic with mage Lords, and blue line with any other Lords. I would make exceptions if the lore of magic is buffs base, if the core of the army is projectiles, or both.

    • @volodymyrboitchouk
      @volodymyrboitchouk 8 місяців тому +7

      @@leonzoful generally, I fond that it's best to develop magic for magic lords, combat skills for combat lords, and red line buffs with everyone else. The one exception is if I have a dedicated recruitment/governance lord that is gonna sit around inside my territory. That is the only case in which I go blue line first.
      This is excepting getting route marchers of course, naturally that is the first thing I get on all lords.

      @@volodymyrboitchouk I'd argue there's an exception for lords with early replenishment. For example, Cathay's Magistrates get Replenishment early in their blue tree. While none of the Dragon lords get the early replenishment skills making it hard to be aggressive with them with all the funny corruption Cathay has to deal with.

      @leonzoful 8 місяців тому +2

      @@volodymyrboitchouk besides what I have said above, it also depends what race, type of army, and how many enemies I am going to face. For example, if I am playing with Kolek or Karl Franz, I rush blue line as it is more likely that I will face multiple enemy armies at once even though both factions have a different play style. Usually, I leave red line for last since they don't offer me an early tactical advantage in the same way that lightning strike or magic can do.

    It's quite the shock whenever I see the AI moving generals away from the army to get sniped by the player, such a horrible dynamic that should be played out with agents in the campaign map, every match becoming a "who can snipe the enemy general first" seems pretty archaic and I wish we went back to shogun with that.

    Maybe Katarin simply spent most of the campaign so far dead.
