My word is "bard" and tbh, I think magnus should defect, it would make a more interesting story, plus, I want to know what exactly are the motivations of each of the armies respectively. I liked looking at all the green numbers at the end too.

The game is quite fun, its just a bunch of questions, but they are fun to answer. Maybe there were a little bit too many canibalism questions ^w^ˇ The concept of the game is interesting, I just hope they do make a chapter 2, otherwise the potential is all a bit of a moot point. Magnus is an interesting charakter, compleatly brutal, executes 2 people with no remorse, but atleast his charakterization is consistent, he does like animals as shown in a few dialogue options concerning them. Some of his responses are a bit Reditor level, like, could you be more mature bro? I was a bit disapointed about him just killing the ||merchant|| at the end, he saved his life at the start and the way he talked about him made it seem like he would be important for the plot going forward. My secret word was attack, my ranking was "great", and i think magnus should totaly defect to lord Faryn, he doesn't exactly have any attachements to the kingdom or Harys (or whatever the kings name is), him swaping sides to get a magical artefact is totaly in charakter

>Remarkable Priestess< --> Magnus should go to check out wth the "enemy" is up to. Learn more about the current King he helped and find a way to get a staff for himself. Heh heh. Game is awesome...! Makes you think a tiny bit and even made me laugh! I can see why people liked and participated in answering the question in the end for it! I also like that the personality/tactics I created will be transferred into the next game if I enter the right word! The best part... This game said I was "REMARKABLE" at tactics! That's a first!!! THANK YOU THOUGH! :D :> :)

Bard Hm, interesting. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting but was enjoyable none-the-less. Maybe that was just because it seemed super easy to me, minus the opening food and cooking bit. But once it got to spies and military tactics that was fun and cool I guess. Mostly I was interested in seeing how well I would do and managed to turn the war around 180. As for joining Faryn or staying loyal to the current king, can't even remember his name lol, solid stay loyal for now for many reasons. Firstly: You literally just turned this war around from total defeat to inevitable victory. If you change sides now you're throwing away the work and progress you worked on away for very little. The king and his closest advisors have to know this is because of you. Perhaps they mean to turn on you after your usefulness is up, that is true, but as an all powerful mage you'll think of something. But you are in a better position to leverage your status from more than joining another kingdom on the ropes, one you spent a year helping thrash. Second: The captain spoke of this staff that is important to you, he clearly knows much about this, and honestly, he is presently more under your power than the other way around. Taking him captive will likely prove a useful source of information, perhaps arrange to have spies locate and steal an artifact. You can leverage the kings indebtedness towards you to justify this persuite of personal power. And if the king refuses, then you know betrayal is inevitable and you can strike out on your own to acquire it if it's truly that powerful and life altering. Thirdly: If this man did even the barest amount of homework he would know you had not a care in the world for your dear old friend. It speaks to his lack of intelligence and capabilities that he came up with and thought to execute this stupid plan and put himself in your hands so you can't really trust his objective judgement on things. Perhaps he thinks he is recruiting you but his king plans to kill you. Not sure don't care, doesn't matter. The risk-reward just doesn't add up to be honest. Even if you can't capture him and have spies steal the artifact, his kingdom is on the ropes, you'll have it eventually. There is only one way in which you accept this mad man's offer in my opinion. If you plan to take the artifact and usurp King Faryn's crown. It might be easier to take the crown from a king on his last legs than a king that is coming out on top in his war. I still like the idea of usurping the current king, given that winning the war for him and usurping his crown means inheriting dejure lands devoid of the devastation of war, or at the very least, closer to recovered versus the other way around.All that said, was a fun, short game, I enjoyed it, look forward to a next installment and will look into your other titles.
