Settlement got to year 4 (about to fight butcher), we're doing it hardcore mode and having a ton of fun but surprisingly so far having a fairly easy time of it.
Augry *sp just doesn't feel good, I lost two well built characters (I know my fault for using them) because the intimacy table is sorta brutal; in comparison we've only lost one character to battles.
Questions
Do crits need confirmation? It looks like crits just auto wound and deal the crit affect which so far seems op against the monsters.
When you start do you need to innovate to get the language innovation or do you start with it and its consequences?
Perfect hits do not auto-wound, though they may activate fighting arts. The wound roll is separate so to have a perfect hit and a critical wound you would need 2 lanterns (+/- your accuracy and luck, respectively).
I don't have my rulebook/first day card to confirm if you have to spend the resources to get Language though; I think you do have to innovate the first time which is always Language to start out, but I'm mainly basing that on the game world gives you next to nothing for free.

Victor, have you been using survival of the fittest? 'cause, don't. The odds are abysmal.
And until you have a reason not to, you should be having newbs breed.
On crits, no, they don't. But if it doesn't have a crit on the location, you can't crit.
You start with Language and its consequences.

I don't know how this happens but I am completely crap at lucky dice rolls but for some reason Kingdom Death isn't the case. I play in a party of 6 players and I crit on almost every hit I make, and while each of them are down quiet a few characters I have yet to lose my first man. So when I found a strange man while exploring it was clear that I would get the steel sheild.

Gah! I hate that stupid shield. IDK what the hell it's for, that penalty's so huge when you can get pushed around, we've never found it worth it. Our settlement has 3 of them that we never use.

Thanks!
I've been playing with a whole textured board, but haven't figured out a good way of doing it yet- the texture got weirdly flat looking when I was trying to make it useful for placing terrain, so I'm thinking I might more heavily abstract the board since we found it easy enough to determine position without the strict grid...
But for now, I'm very happy with how the dais is coming along as a centerpiece/compromise.

Do you have any tips on magnetizing? Did you magnetize the hand/wrist connection to maximize the number of options? Or at the shoulders?

Man, IDK, my group myst've gotten super-lucky on him... took him down in two turns (i.e. he only had one attack in him). Feels like we missed something.
Well, I guess our current settlement isn't anywhere near as epic, so hopefully it'll be a balanced fight this time around.

We had our first encounter with the Hand this weekend, it went pretty well until the killing blow was struck, at which point the attacker got a damage 10 attack that's nigh-impossible to block or dodge. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, scrounging together a full set of Phoenix armour is not small task, we hunted it three times and still we don't have enough for a full set.

You did well on the hand? Wow last night we fought him and sent two of our A team members and our team still got brutalized (And that was with some rules that we didn't know correctly that went in our favor)
Part of the issue is we ran though his hit location deck to fast and got trapped three times by him, further more we never managed to get all three of his eyes open which meant a ton of his hit location cards that closed his eyes were instead basicly more traps.
Ended with our last player just running around the board as the Hand ghost stepping to him over and over and attacking him.

One of our guys has great weapon mastered, plus he has a perfect slayer I think it was, so any time he scores a point of damage it is tripled, plus he knocks things down. We had him charge in, land some hits to knock him down, I jump in with the Twilight Sword for six attacks of my own and that should be it then.
And yes, we're still going for a full set of Phoenix armour, almost got it, still need a Phoenix crest for the last piece.

Well, getting the perfect slayer is going to wreck up most things' days, and is improbably unlikely to get. It's hardly what I'd call a strategy.

Like I said, don't quote me on the big ass sword that the guy was using, it's one of the two Guts swords you can craft. :p

Is it the one that swings once naturally and can break (dragon) or the one that has multiple base attacks and kills a bunch of your guys when you try to make it (perfect)?

I'm about to start my 3rd campaign. I haven't made it past LR 10, yet. Usually the Butcher starts a death spiral that I can't pull out of and the Twilight Knight mercifully finishes my settlement off. So, I decided to paint some new survivors. New mojo and "Flat Back" Conan to the rescue! Now, if I can just roll something besides 2's and 3's vs the Butcher, I may be ok.

From the KD Black Friday email:
Wave 1
We are very close to wrapping up all the tickets, exceptions, and packages in the postal void!
Wave 2
South America has shipped! We have secured a new fulfillment partner for Asia and are nearly finished verifying our shipping list. We need to collect everyone's phone numbers to ensure safe shipping. We expect this to go out in the next 2 weeks.
Wave 3
Is still currently TBA.
So no definite date.
