Triangle Strategy: Chapter 9, Part 1 - Voting Guide

Triangle Strategy takes a twisty path to its finale, with a fair few battles and story beats playing out in entirely different ways. This is first depicted in Chapter Three, when Serenoa must decide whether to visit Aesfrost or Hyza

The new Star Wars strategy game could either show the well-known struggle of the Rebel Alliance against the mighty and misguided Empire. Players would build up Rebel bases in remote locations away from the reach of the Empire, all while trying to take over planets to regain galactic control. Or alternatively, winprizes the strategy game could offer gamers the chance to play as a crumbling Empire after their defeat at the hands of Luke, Leia, Han, and their alli

If you've not given it a glance yet in this chapter, you'll find that the merchant's got some new wares in stock including the first appearance of Quality-level materials. These are required to learn rank 2 weapon abilities. The silver you (hopefully) found in Chapter Seven, Part One's exploration phase can be put to good use now to unlock a rank 2 weapon. We recommend you use this first one on Serenoa, but there's no wrong ans

First, let's note that a heightened degree of Conviction in a particular aspect "feeds into itself" in a nifty fashion: selecting a dialogue decision during Conviction-related conversations will boost that decision's reflected aspect substantial

Serenoa's entourage arrives in the Falkes Demense, prompting the Lord of Wolffort to search his surroundings for a strategy with which to approach Landroi. Expect numerous Conviction boost opportunities as well as the chance to procure more items and useful informat

"Serenoa's convictions have been strengthened." Play Triangle Strategy for more than an hour, and you will have seen the phrase pop up on the top-right portion of the screen at least two dozen times. It's nice to know the young lord of House Wolffort is no philosophical sycophant, but what does this really mean? Why are Serenoa's convictions constantly being strengthened, how do we as players affect the process, and why should any of us even c

This is the first mandatory battle wherein you will have Recommended units . These units are considered particularly useful by the game for the current battle. Including all of them in your battle party will not only give you an edge but will net you some Utility points . Conversely, if you use none of them, you'll get some Liberty poin

The later XCOM games also had a competent AI that rarely made mistakes, adding to the difficulty as well as the believability of the world. Venturing out with the four to six-person squads for battles and the exploration of areas felt risky as well as rewarding, and the tactically complex and highly challenging combat situations were addictive and enjoya

You've chosen the practical path — the path of reason. With Prince Roland surrendered, Triangle Strategy 's story has taken a grim turn. Was this tense peace worth the decision? Well, that's the beauty of role-playing games. The answer is yes, no, or anywhere in between, depending on where one's own thoughts linger. Or maybe you're just trying to complete every route and this melodramatic paragraph means little to you. Honestly, f

The inclusion of both of these forms of gameplay adds something extra to the standard RTS formula and gives players a taste of different game modes. For a Star Wars game this could also work perfectly, with gamers having to manage the resources and structure of their base alongside more exciting missions. The Star Wars franchise is already set up for that, with multiple factions having bases of operations in previous films and games like the Rebel Alliance base on Endor . With many factions to choose from within the Star Wars canon that could operate out of bases which players could work to expand throughout the game, the story possibilities are fairly endl

This is the most readily apparent example of Convictions playing out in your favor; whatever it is that our above example would theoretically pertain to, you'll stand a far better chance of accomplishing it with a high score in a particular aspect. Grinding that out, even if you can't see the exact stockpile number until New Game Plus , is still worth the eff

The most popular strategy games offer players enough of a challenge that it feels like there are actual high stakes and carefully considered tactics that need to be employed, while still making gameplay accessible. The XCOM series usually handles this balance well, with straightforward mechanics that still need careful thought and planning. Running a base requires a strategy, and the scarcity of resources has a big impact. Making mistakes during missions can lead to the permanent deaths of squad members, and can feel emotionally resonant as well as strategically important. Decisions have consequences, and gamers can't just breeze through the game without taking a more measured appro
