    Body piles don’t do what you said at all actually (I mean they don’t spawn enemies).
    They are there to be looted and serve as barricade. If you don’t want them you can also destroy them with no workers (but no loot). The big ones can give items when looted so they are really beneficial

    You got the story slightly wrong. In short: One mage dropped a nuke, then everyone started dropping nukes. Now the "fallout" corrupts everything, and the mages are trying to reverse it.

I thought it looked kinda cool, but those videos didn't do a good job at helping me understand what was going on. I appreciate that about Splat. Thanks for sharing this man and explaining everything well! ✌️
    This game reminds me of Battle Brothers meets Final Fantasy Tactics in different ways. Pretty sweet.

      Prices and trade are great especially in an apocalypse. They ensure there is an incentive in the first place to preserve and produce resources. If freely given to anyone who merely claims to be able to use it then they are squandered on day one and everyone is far worse off. See Aesop's Tale of the Ant and the Grasshopper.

    Yes, I love games that are like Final Fantasy Tactics. That's why I would love for Nintendo to make Final Fantasy Tactics Advance & Advance 2 into ports for the S/switch. (And maybe the original version of Tactics Ogre, since I now have Reborn.)
    I'd also like the original Ogre Battle, Ogre Battle 64, The 7th Saga, Breath of Fire III & IV, & the rest of the Fire Emblem series.
    (Just to name a few.)
    But that doesn't mean I'm automatically going to like THIS game. And I'm not sure I do, because it seems more like a 2.5D Tower Defense game with RPG elements than a proper tactics game. I guess I'll have to play it some to make a firm determination about it either way, but I'm a little too busy & my computer is a little too stuffed to take a chance on something like this at the moment.
    The artwork is pretty good, though. I'll give it that.

    I love this game but I kinda miss the early builds' difficulty during the boss nights. The game used to be like 'oh yeah, that last night? Well the next one has double the size of a horde, that never s tops spawning. Oh yeah, and I threw a boss in there, or multiple rather, teehee'.
    Now the game pities you and makes it so the regular trash during the boss nights aren't overwhelmingly numerous alone =P. But the first time I completed lakeshire I felt like I really EARNED that +1ap passive unlock thing. I've reset my progress since and now I snored my way and got it on my first try, and that's even after crossbow guns got nerfed to the ground.

    The Last Spell is not the type of game I thought it is, I was expecting more siege survival type of gameplay where you have to find enough food and water on top the materials and gears needed to beef up your defences and heroes. So the game threw me off the first time I played it. Admittedly I didn’t look up any gameplay before buying it, so that was on me. However, the gameplay loop was enjoyable and I got sucked in. Didn’t regret the purchase 🤷‍♂️.
    That said, this is about the DLC, I have planned to buy it after finishing the gameplay, but I am taking my time with it.

    short version RNG ruins this game wait for modding. real modding currently you only have language change.
    long version.
    This is one of the few games I gave a negative review. you will not see the reason in this video because it is still too early but at later levels, it gets more annoying but the level. 1st there`s too much RNG to the point skill, strategy, and anything requiring thinking is useless. you live by the RNG and you die by the RNG. Your swordsman can get levels that only suit mages for a while and you can`t switch classes. the game thinks you can and encourages you but switching classes means you will be double handicapped. because you have a skill tree you are only allowed around 11 skills so if you put 6 skills on Warrior and get mage stats you are screwed. Your items are also RNG both in what they are, and what stats they have. I had cloth armor of EPIC or RARE quality being better than LEGENDARY gear. and new levels have new gimmicks designed to make it harder on top of the natural increase of difficulty. some gimmick has you waste turns disabling shrines the summon gosht fighter to help the enemy. then there are the invulnerable enemies that will shoot LAZERS at you in Kamehameha style and you can`t do anything to them for X amount of turns. and the natural increase in difficulty being more enemies and stronger enemies. this is too long and I barely touched a single of the issues and I still have gotten to other offenders like some skills are set in stone and others are not. so if you have a warrior your final skill can be organic armor which is pure thrash. it replaces armor for HP. In-game armor is a flat block to most types of attacks. so every turn you can block 40-90-200 damages if you have the armor. so the game can double handicap you by removing your base skill and giving you thrash ones.
