Anybody playing this? I've done the tale of 2 Brothers campaign and have completed about 4 of the rightful heir story (can't remember the exact name) which is an epic and that's not even with listening to the music!

Currently stuck on "The Siege of <town>". There's a great level preceding this with similarly great AI for your allies fending off the enemy. Any experts here?

*Raises hand*

Yep. I've done Two Brothers too (hmm... I wonder if that might be misconstrued). I've also completed a few other campaigns but mostly I play online against a chap from Spain.

Hadn't thought about online play. Any clues as to how to defeat a superstrong enemy (in fact two enemies, one of which is sweeping down when you're trying to defeat the first)?

I said I played it. I never said I was any good at it tongue

Your best bet is to read the manual and see if the enemy has any weakness you can exploit. You can get in-game info on various units.

There are some useful hints and tips in there. Also, you can recall units from previous campaigns it seems.

Seems like a few things are needed here

- higher "level" units - I've been starting the level with only one higher level unit

- start the level with recalled units that have experience - so far I've only recalled units after the city is taken

- unfortunately it might be necessary to go back to the previous level and try to make sure the White Mage doesn't get killed

- it might be necessary to go back anyway to try to get higher level units waarded although that requires protecting them before they get killed which would require moving back to an easy level.
