I’m playing Banner of the Maid

Thanks to [profile] dagny_hashtaggart for the rec.

*I am not used to strat-RPGs being this low on magic. So far, we’ve got luck manipulation, superhuman charisma, and reading dead people’s memories. Nobody here is throwing around fireballs or teleports.

*I like the idea of a hero who consciously models herself on an earlier hero and wants people to think of her in the same terms.

*I’m dying for a MOV+ passive somewhere. My MOV 3 medic cannot keep up with my MOV 6 cavalry.

*I don’t like how every unit can counter. Makes it harder to level up your weaker units if they can only safely attack enemies that are already injured.

*Get the crap beaten out of you, and lose money on the after-battle penalties, or use bread to heal, and lose money buying more bread. Marie Antoinette’s in this game. Think she can spare some cake?

*Everyone’s speech has this sound that’s halfway between an s and an sh, and it sounds like they’re all drunk.

*Man, I do not like ANY of these dialogue options that give reputation+ with Robespierre. Too bad he’s the only guy in the game who sells guns.
