Unicorn Overlord has hooked me like a fish.
Let me just paint a basic picture.
And yes, I have all of this memorized after staring at the map for so long.
That’s part of the magic of this game.
It’s all low-level stuff, but I basically brought a little league team to the high school playoffs.
The emotions that this experience elicited matter more than the moment-to-moment actions.
Video games: pretty cool
That Drakenhold battle really put a spotlight on this.
It got me to ask the right questions.
How do I distribute squads while also directing them in individual fights?
How do I balance each squad leader’s movement speed with their unique assist effects?
How easily can my squads group up and bail each other out?
When should I spend valor points on deploying new squads versus supporting the ones already on the field?
It is a bunch of beautiful systems interacting beautifully.
What can I do with this one?
What would go nicely here?
How many of these can I fit?
