EmperorRotMK Campaign tips/review #2

While playing this game I noticed many gaming tips and tricks that are posted on the internet, but there were no really helpful tips for completing the campaigns. Some of them can be really hard, even on very easy, and can take up many hours to even figure out.

So here are some tips:

General tips:

• Always start off slowly: do not rush any industry or agricultural buildings.
• Start with a basic housing block, there are many different ways to do this so try each out till you get one you like. I prefer to do the one that you will see in each post. This is just a basic housing loop.
• Improving buildings is key to getting max productivity in your town and will allow you to easily go into the agriculture phase.
• Only once you have a steady sustainable flow of food into your housing blocks can you move over into the industrial phase.
• Once in the industrial phase, start off slow by building only a few buildings as needed, better to keep your unemployment under 50 and have never have employees needed.
• Once all of this is checked off it is time to start getting the trading and military going.
• Always keep enough troops at base to defend it, once you have more armies than your enemy you will be able to demand trading and goods, if they refuse then a simple attack will make them bow down before you.

Campaign Tips

• Having 50 people in a Humble Compound is difficult as the buildings/houses require a lot of attention and population. It is always a good idea to see how many of these houses you will need before you start building them.

• As you need a high population and need to fit in those humble compounds, you will need to plan your layout before you begin. Keeping your housing inside the walls is a really good idea as you will be attacked often.

• You want to get your temple construction going as soon as you have finished with the housing blocks. The temples always take the longest.

• As you will be attacked often you might want to build a secondary wall around your whole base. It won't be able to cover everything and you will be left with a big gap where you can funnel the enemy army into and kill them.

• Keep your unemployment around 100 as the will be needed in the towers when the enemy attacks. It is also a good idea to have this as sometimes your housing block does not run as smoothly as you would like it to.

In my opinion this is one of the coolest temples to build and so far it has been the most beautiful temple I have built during the campaigns. The gardens around the building really make it stand out.

Review:

I really enjoyed this one as there were a lot of options when it came to attacking and defending your city. This one was also nice as it had a good "all round" play to it. Many campaigns concentrate on one specific thing, but here everything was well balanced, from the attacking to defending and building, it was a lot of fun

Fun: Due to the fact that it ticked all the fun boxes I would give it a 9/10. I was quite annoyed with the fact that you had to trade for some of the resources needed to build the temple.

Design: This campaign is really well designed as it has a good difficulty and leaves nothing out. It has a really good trading design which is definitely needed to complete the campaign. I give it a 10/10 as every aspect of a nation and its problems is well grasped.

Interaction: It was nice to have something new happen in the combat side of things. Each time you attacked an enemy the others around attacked you. This made it a little harder to both attack and defend at the same time. I give it an 8/10, they really need to change they way trading works as making people happy is so hard.

Story: I am not sure how this level of the campaign fits in with all the rest, but the story given in the start of the campaign really describes well what is going to happen in the level.
