[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 6025730, member: 719"] Having played all the way through Kingmaker - Yeah, we domesticated the kobolds. Our gnome summoner also started rearing owlbears. Kingdom building was neat at first, but was a serious chore by book 5. We also had about 12 districts worth of cities and were using an excel spreadsheet to track everything. The mass combat system in book 5 was a little disappointing, though it may have been in part because our group was calculating something wrong - our nation had a great economy, but the cost of keeping a decent unit in the field was so high we could only field like 3 units at a time. So we decided to bypass the mass combat entirely by going straight for the enemy ruler in a commando strike. The final boss of book 3 is interesting - his offensive power isn't amazing, but he has high DR and a lot of immunities. Fortunately, in our game he got stuck between a wall and my paladin. The final boss of book 4 was one of the hardest fights of the campaign. The summoner's eidolon was killed like 4 times in that battle. The Palace of Doors in Book 5 was pretty neat to raid. Though our maul of the titans helped with the Doors part. It was pretty funny when my paladin came through a wall right into the throne room. The Forest of a Thousand Screams is pretty messed up. The forest can spit out random encounters that are significantly more dangerous than any normal encounter in the module. [/QUOTE]
