Wrath of the Righteous. BG3 coming out reminded me I had gotten it on sale at some point and I liked Kingmaker. Its scratching that Pathfinder itch since Covid dissolved my irl group, but Jesus frick the army mechanics are such a slog

Same, although the army stuff doesn't bother me as much after you get a good army going. Plus, every once in a while this buggy mess of a game throws you a bone and it's great. For example, a stack of one of those big grasshopper things :marseymooncricket: attacked my stack of 15 shieldbearers and somehow I ended with 208 of them :marseyluckycat:.

Yeah once I got the basics down and realized archers are the best unit so far its been easier. Also good general abilities help a lot.

Tell me more? I also bought that game but never played it.

It looks like an implementation of troops mechanics from pen and paper pathfinder, you have different unit types on essentially a chess board. It's just very unituitive and a little punishing at first while you're trying to figure it out. As @bogged said, it's gets a lot better once you get a good army figured out. Still, it'd kind of be like if the witcher 3 made you play gwent games to progress the main story.

Gwent was great, but it still would have not been good game design to require winning some gwent games in order to play the main story
