Vampires can't get tired, so endurance doesn't really matter that much. Though skills are affected by attributes, so having high attributes is still a good thing to have, even if the effect is not always very noticeable.

[duckman]

I've noticed that my vampires tend to lose fewer teeth if I don't use endurance as a dump stat. Dodger is a skill affected by endurance according to the wiki, so I assume that even if you don't get tired, it helps you dodge attacks.

Making your dead talk was the best idea any necromancer should do; because now I got a Toothless Grizzly bear minion to hold all my corpses, and loot.
Shame I had to make them hostile to all life but at least now I can arm zombies with stuff so that makes up for it.


Picture a giant bear with no teeth ripping the head off a human companion who was being assaulted by the bear's teeth.
weird how I have to pay with food to store corpses on this corpse bear though it's worth it for not being encumbered.

I just slew my first megabeast, a hydra. Stabbing it in the upper body with my iron two-handed sword tore apart both its lungs, and finally with a wild stab to the upper body i pierced its heart. I finally mastered mutli-action usage. Wild attacks whilst simultaneously dodging work great against powerful enemies.

Can someone please explain what those special attacks actually do? The in-game descriptions are too sparse to glean any useful info. Wild attack seems rather useless, since I can't hit enemies in the first place. Precise attack seems to be the only useful one.

I decided to play as a dwarf, going for a dwarven master race play, I decided that only the dwarves were worthy to live and that the other races must perish.
Maria matchedsilvers is her name, after killing a few dozen humans she gained the title "The Heroic Drain" an amusing name. I claimed a hamlet as my own and quickly killed the inhabitants. I then went up to a nearby fortress and acquired some armor and a better weapon, silver just doesn't cut it. I didn't pay for the armor and weapon, but since I was on a holy mission to free the world of the unworthy races I imagine my kin are ok with it. :3

On my journey to find better armor (had a close call due to an iron spear piercing my copper armor) I stopped in a hillocks for the night..A human, a dirty human, D:< a consort to the one in charge, this would not do, she had to go. After freeing her head from her retched body I requited a nearby drunk named Sakzul, she would make a fine companion.

After getting some iron armor we headed down to a hamlet, Sakzul wasn't used to the sight of death and broke down into tears, after a dozen or so kills she seemed to get used to the killing and even started helping me. :3 A fine companion indeed.

Started off as a human demigod-striker

Went to go wrassle some camels, promptly got kicked in the head turning my (helmeted!) brain-box into a lump of gore...

My other character, a human peasant who I trained up to Expert fighter (without cheats!), got done in by a goblin ambush. Now Datost, had been in tight situations before (there was the matter of a bronze colossus, who I narrowly managed to sneak away from; a forest titan who shot webs, and a "misunderstanding" with the soldiers of a certain keep) but somehow lived through it all. Not this time.

At least 40 goblins, most of them recruits, swarmed us, immediately killing my crossbowman. The other companion, a lasher, began swatting goblin heads with her silver whip. Meanwhile, I tried to get some cover from the goblin bolts behind some sort of temporary fortification. Fortunetly, despite my slow speed, I managed to enter the fort with minimal injuries. Unfortunately, there were two well-equipped axemen inside the fort. They were picking their teeth with their axes.

I drew my sword and board, and quickly murdered those gentlemen. The lasher was eventually struck down by a stray bolt to the lower arm, giving into pain, then death. I held out as long as I could using the fortification as a bottleneck, but began passing out from exhaustion. At one point I eviscerated a goblin recruit, who took it upon himself to latch on to my arm and take me down into the cold depths with him. For whatever reason, I could not shake this little goblin off, but boy did he shake me. I lost an arm, lost blood, lost consciousness, and then lost my life. But not before stabbing the goblin bastard in the head, cleaving it asunder.

I'll see you in hell bitch.

They are modifiers to your damage and/or accuracy and/or your recovery time as opposed to your regular attack which receives no bonus/penalty modifier (if used alone). You make use them of against your opponent's speed and ability.

- Quick attack is faster to unload and to recover making this your safest choice at the beginning of combat until you've at least dropped opponent speed and have gotten them to bleed a bit.
- Heavy/Precise attack's slow unloading and slow recovery reserves these for: end stage fights; when you sneak up on something; if fighting in a group when your opponent is focused on your companions and you rotate your position to attack from the side or behind; or when you are statistically better than your opponent.
- Wild attack's loss of precision, higher recovery time and other defensive penalties make this useful only when someone's fight capacity has been ruined. It may seem like a fast heavy attack, but it's one that leaves you very open. If your defensive stats can accommodate these penalties, this can become more of an option.
- Charging attack is best for when you see your opponent (of fairly similar size) is regaining balance as this may knock them down.
- Multi-attack lets you chain together two or more attacks/defensive choices with a slight loss of performance to each choice. A very common favorite is quick attack + manual dodge away or standard attack + manual dodge away or quick attack + manual black.

I look at these choices primarily in regard to how they affect recovery time and in regard to what my character's stats are versus what I believe my opponent's stats are. When you think you statistically outmatch someone, then better recovery begins to mean less. You begin to just take heavy/precise shots, and let defense (dodge/block) function passively/automatically. But when the match up is even, particularly when your opponent is slightly faster, you try to go with optimal choices that have the lowest recovery time and with the least penalty per choice.

The Mission continues, Maria MatchedSilvers and Sakzul Bridgethorn, have killed many humans, over 700 kills by maria and 69 kills (lol) by Sakzul. I gave Sakzul a full set of copper armor and got her to wear it by the armor for her clothes, I eventually gave her a shield and a better weapon to further enhance her abilities.

I killed the lords and ladies of many hamlets claimed them and then gave the position to a dwarven soldier within the mead hall, Poor Sakzul though she got a pretty nasty wound that caused her liver to cease function permanently luckily for her livers aren't currently needed for staying alive.

One day the humans shall fall and I will be able to begin the attack on the other elves and goblins, but for now there are more humans to slaughter and occasionally butcher them for food.

Oh, don't worry, just make a kitten waterfall inside your meeting hall and soon you will "not care about anything anymore"...

Can someone please explain what those special attacks actually do? The in-game descriptions are too sparse to glean any useful info. Wild attack seems rather useless, since I can't hit enemies in the first place. Precise attack seems to be the only useful one.

Remember that your attacks have a time to be performed, normally after three ticks(the smallest step possible) you land the attack and after more three you recover and can once again chose an action, for example, if you are fighting against two opponents you might want to use quick attacks, so that your attacks take less ticks and leave you vulnerable for less time. The heavy attack gives a small damage boost and takes more ticks to be performed. The precise attack takes more ticks to be performed and gives another damage boost because you hit better than "can only graze"... And the wild attack os just that, a wild attack that is very fast to hit, does more damage, but takes longer to recover from.

Keep in mind I'm using the mod in my sig.

I genned a new world and looked at the history in Legends Viewer. Turns out that weasel men have taken over the world. I made a human avatar of war adventurer with the mission of wiping out the weasel men. It's going well so far!

[StagnantSoul]

In a last ditch effort to defend myself from a hydra, I threw my platinum crutch. This bruised the heart. And I stayed standing and totally fine. With one leg.

Vaguely remember that being a very old bug. Maybe that's just a different world line.

Small little thing, killed more gave yet another dwarf the seat of power in a hamlet and while fighting an axeman this happened.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is terrifying.
Sakzul's cruelty knows no bounds, I'm so proud.
