The strategic layer in PP is currently fairly simple, with one overriding imperative: always be doing something, because time is the main resource in the game.Īt first the most critical buildings are training facilities (TFs). THE STRATEGIC LAYER - WHAT TO DO IN THE GEOSCAPE Hopefully it will also serve to inform the ongoing discussions about balancing, changes and features requests. The purpose of this guide is to help the reader understand the mechanics of the game as they currently are, without interjecting any opinions as to their merits or demerits. It’s not so much that the game is impossibly difficult (that it most certainly is not), but rather that the difficulty is uneven, and that often players encounter challenges for which they are not yet prepared. Having said that, and to be honest, in my experience all tactical situations that seem impossible to deal with, can be successfully navigated in multiple ways and using different play styles, provided one understands the rules of the game. It’s improving, but whichever way you play it, you may find yourself at times absurdly over, or underpowered. There is one thing that must be said right away: the game continues to suffer from poor balance and uneven difficulty. Of course, many play PP (or at least try to play it) like a classic tactical turn-based game. Others play it as something akin to a tactical puzzle game. Some play it as a fantasy tactics game, relying on skills as powerful spells fueled by the mana of willpower. If you understand the fundamental mechanics, you can approach it in a number of ways. There are many ways to play Phoenix Point, though this doesn’t emerge until past the early game.
corrected for changes from Derleth patch, replace “alpha-strike” for “First Turn Strike”
Hints and tips on handling specific mission and enemy typesĪs I tried to post it, it turns out I exceeded the character limit per post by around 100%, so I’m breaking this into three parts.Ģ added Melee A comprehensive guide for playing Phoenix Point (or an attempt at one).If you have anything to correct, or to add, just post your comments and I will edit this post quoting them, until this is finally the comprehensive guide it is intended to be. It’s not finished yet, but I have decided to go ahead and post it so that it can become a communal project. Thanks to that not-Pandora virus everyone is talking about that is in process of changing our world as we know it, I have been working on this guide for the past few weeks.
