Hey! As far as I can tell it seems to be a great game and I`m thinking about buying it. So just a question. Do you plan to add further features?

Whats the use of Flagellants, never used them so far.

I have really enjoyed this game so far. I would like it if the game started out paused. As well the speed keys bound to 1234 would be nice too.

Hi Checkmaty,

The game is just AWESOME! I really love playing it.

I bought it 2 days ago, and after some lossed games I got the hang of it. Now i'm winning every time with no big challenges.

I use this tactic to win:

1. Start with 100 or 200 extra wood (you can use other upgrades but they wont matter as much, +1k gold is usefull as third option)
2. Start game and pause immediatly, build a church, market and well with enough space around them. 
3. Build houses till you got 50 wood left~
4. Build 2 farms, 6 patches of farm land. 1 windmill, 1 bakery.
5. Build 3-4 woodcutters
6. If you have any resources left, build iron cutter or a pig farm.
7. Start the game, immediatly make 3 militia. Place 2 militia on the furthest sides of your base, to give you some time to move your other solders there if attacked.
8. Defeat the first (or first 2) wave, build 3-4 more militia, make more farm, build 1 hob farm with 6 tiles of hob fields.
9. Now go for a ale maker, weapon smithy, leather tanner, armory, another pig farm and start upgrading houses.
10. Build barracks, another windmill + bakery and start building stronger soldiers.
11. Add the tavern next to the church to upgrade the houses (you should keep a spot saved early on, by now you should have enough ale for a tavern, even with a single hop farm)

Further in the game:

Depending on your food/money supply you should expand with a warehouse and go for either:

1. another set of church/market/well/tavern with lots of houses if you need money. (usually i have like 8 woodcutters by now to build the houses)

2. Fertile ground to build more farms, if your starting positions lacks fertile ground. Build more farms with windmills/bakery's.

Tips:

-Put militia's on the far end of your base and your main army in the middle in the early waves.

-When building units with the barracks, add 1-2 units to your main army, then start building a second army. If your base is stretched you should get multiple armies, i've finished the game with as many as 5 army's.

Feedback on the game:

-I love building walls, but they don't really affect the battles that much.

-When focussing on money early, the whole game gets easy. Certainly when I build met second warehouse to expand the houses. Either limit houses or decrease their returns above a certain number of houses.

Played the game abit more and managed to survive to wave 14. 

My map was so clogged at that point where every wave (of annoying friggin catapaults) just took a solid 1/3 of my base while i tried to kill everything else. This is with all of the camps cleared (huge base btw)

- We should be able to upgrade certain buildings OR be able to research production sciences that boost efficiency, OR Both. Less map clog= better game play. Upgrading buildings function like Caesar games where adjacent houses can combine and upgrade (maybe automatically after some time) a bigger house. Maybe something like 1x1 tent > 2x2 house > 3x3 big house > 4x4 tavern. 

- Getting attacked from multiple unexpected angles and losing because of it is so unsatisfying as a player. Sure, It makes the game harder, but it feels RNG because surviving the wave depends too much on if you placed your towers at the right side of your base. Balancing the game would be easier if every playthrough with similar conditions. I think all of the enemies should come from a single direction/

-Class system feels... not very unique. This could have been done so much better IMO.
The ranger doesn't shoot arrows. Paladin and Warlord die instantly without micromanagement because of stunlock. Sorceress's E ability feels like it should be on the Paladin. I feel like their abilities should get a complete rework. Stay to traditional ideas. Draw inspiration from games such as LOL/Hammerwarch. Archer should Insane dps to one target.   Sorceress looks to have  AOE/Waveclear. Paladin should be a Huge tank with with taunt abilities. Warlock should be a frontline... etc 

- Leveling up could definitely do something more than just 10% increase and reduction in dmg. Maybe a unique passive for veterancy or maybe something more like a skill point distribution system?

Something should also be done about stunlock

These changes should probably give a more smoother progression curve and prepare it up for 15+ wave games

I had played the game today for 5 hours managing to arrive to wave 10! and I must say that I've enjoyed all the time.

The idea reminds me Kingdom Under Fire a game that I loved in the past, anyway I want to say what should be improved:
1) Demolish building don't give you back some resources
2) The combat system is clunky as hell often the hero get stunned getting destroyed
3) If you lose Royal Gards you cant rebuild them
4) The hero should level UP like all the other units
5) The reward system is unfair because you can use it only when you restart a new game.. I needed my new giant and the abilities I've unlocked to survive.
6) You shoud be able to build on top of trees!
7) Why I can't sell in the market extra stuff like armors and weapons, or buy needed resouces?
8) The fallen king and his bodyguards are too strong imo
9) The building are too squishy and since the enemy can use catapults I would like to see something like only catapults can destroy buildings like castles and defensive walls
10) why catapults can shoots while in melee combat?  

Ten list points after 10 waves not bad! I'm sure you'll do a great job making this game great.

Love the game, just played 10 hours straight and only passed the 3rd wave three times. This game has soo much potential. I dont think things need to get nerfed however there definetly needs to be some QOL changes.

First off the map selection is so RNG that you pretty much are fucked if you have a bad starting point and have used your items. This had lead to me straight up restarting game after loading bad terrain with no empty space.  Just make the map (atleast 2x) bigger and let us choose where to place the castle. The game is very light so you dont need to worry about fps lagg.

We should be able to command woodcutters to chop down certain trees. Currently only thing i can do is place woodcutter close and HOPE he cuts down the tree.

Save game feature is a defs need imo, however hardcore makes the game much more intense.

Yeah, I have more in mind however these are the main things. Is there a forum where we can discuss ideas and strats? i was quite lost when i was trying to learn the game.

ive been playing this game for about a week now and i cant stop playing it. im glad a youtuber i watch showed this game. the furthest ive got to is act 4 before losing but  had the champion, extra food and stone,  and cleave and jump smash to get that far. Overall im glad i bought this game and cant wait for its release keep up the amazing work.

Hello! As i cant wait, i want to buy your game here. Will the purchase include a steam version/code once its released in 11 days?

I learned about Reignfall from Nookriums channel

I can't really even describe how impressed I am with this project. You are really on to something with this and have my full support. I thought the 3rd person action combat would just be a gimmick but somehow your have managed to make it integral and even satisfying.

The game most definitely has balancing issues but I'm sure you already know this. I love a challenge in any game I play and understand how delicate balancing is, especially when you are only one person.

A place for suggestions, feedback and bug reporting would be great.

I look forward to seeing Reignfall evolve. Keep it up!

hello,

Do you have a email contact?

This merge between RTS and 3rd person looks great! God I love it.

I'm pretty excited about it now. 

I have a quest if you allow me. Will the full release be strictly a horde defense game? 

I think that having a campaign with objective oriented stages on Reignfall would be pretty awesome.

There's an oldish game I played about 10 years ago called Battalion Wars 2 that have this concept of RTS but the player can "possess" units and play in 3rd person as well. On that game every level had an objective, like carrying an item somewhere, protecting some structure, or killing some particularly strong unit. 

So I thought something like this would be cool to help keeping the Reignfall gameplay fresh throughout the play sessions.

Well anyway you are doing something awesome here. Keep up the good job. I'm cheering on you and looking forward for the full release.

Should have different level of difficulty

Hey  downloaded it. Keeps saying it's a security risk? Anyone know why?

Totally enjoyed that, very well made game that is intuitive and easy to get to grips with, the balance of production and farming works really well and all the time you're watching the clock tick down to the next wall of the Fallen. Love it, thanks for making it available for us to play, I made a video of it, i hope you don't mind!
