King's Bounty II - Release Day

Just wish I could play! I pre-ordered from Green Man Games. Unfortunately the publisher has cocked up and not sent them or others, (such as Humble) enough licences...

There is no ETA on when I'll get the game...

Daniel.
Has this finally worked out?
It's 10€ cheaper on GMG right now…

Ahhh Telstar, now that I can work with! I'll just know in advance that if I wish to stop, simply do so before battles. Thank you.

Always save before battles if you intend to do them.
But you can also retreat, after looking at the enemy team, if you think the odds are not so good. This was the same in AP. If you check some walkthrough on YT, you'll see one where u look at the enemies, retreat and go buy more troops before doing that battle.

I really don't get what all the whining is about.

The game auto-saves before battles, doesn't it? So no need to do so yourself. ;)

But I do actually save regularly. Mostly, to recover from getting stuck in the environment. Happens.

Thanks @joxer; and it is on my list to pick up as I liked what I have seen so far. The reviews were a bit off putting so was waiting to see if they would adjust some things and seems they have.

Still it has to get in line behind WOTR and Encased.

I am also trying out Wartales, Waylander, Wildermyth, Couriers of Darkness ... so busy time for gaming. Seems a lot of games starting with W as well :p
