Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Crusade System 10 Tips and Tricks | Pathfinder WOTR

[@stevenlehnhoff6100]

Just hit chapter 2 and I was super confused on the crusader system. You literally cleared everything up with this video. Well done!

[@LeeroyGaming]

I remember being confused myself during beta so glad I could help!

[@huskytales9839]

Came here to say this. Thanks!

[@LeeroyGaming]

@@huskytales9839 and thank you :)

[@happyninja42]

Is it better to just focus on one strong army? Because I notice you have 4 different groups, but you never discussed that in the video. I thought it might be good to have 2 armies, but the problem I ran into was I didn't have enough low level fights when I split up the forces, to get either army strong enough, to take on the tougher armies, and I got stuck.

[@LeeroyGaming]

@@happyninja42 it’s deceptive. I only have ONE primary army. The remainder are a bunch of free units I got from story scenarios. As my main army can only have 4 “units”, I have a ton of left over units sitting around. In my main game I have like 9 “armies” sitting around, but I only use one for actual combat.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

The Infirmary is represented during fights by a vertical bar next to your general's portrait. So long as that bar isn't filled any casualties will auto-rez after combat. If it is filled though, that's when you want to apply the Total Defense + Cure Wounds cheese until the bar is partially filled.

[@JoDough]

I've been wondering what that was!

[@TheYuxiaodi]

[@JBrander]

actual bless you, my guy. I was micro managing the mitigation of the losses with the heal trying to make sure every soldier comes out alive after a fight. This is definitely a stress that I wouldn't have to deal with anymore. Thank you!

[@wasteland-werewolf]

I stopped my first playthrough because I had turned on auto-crusade because I hated the system so much. I began to regret that decision so now I started over so I can finish the game with it on. Thanks for these tips, they are really gonna help me.

[@LeeroyGaming]

The system isn’t perfect, but it’s still enjoyable and I like the different units etc

[@Solitar1us]

Was freaking out not understanding how to go from party to army and vice versa. Immediately saw you navigate between the two banners and smacked my forehead.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Lol yea, so simple and obvious yet hidden in plain sight

[@heniv181]

Here is a tip/tactic for when meeting enemy armies with general. 1. You always split of 3 of your cheapest soldiers off your main army. 2. Send these to attack the enemy army. To find out what ability the enemy General has. 3. If it has an ability that can one shot a unit. Then you keep sending small units to drain its mana/energy.

[@StockOverflow]

This was the best tip ever. I just threw single convicts at a one-shotter until it ran out of energy. Then I went in with my main army and mopped up.

[@RLKmedic0315]

Thank you. That is an immensely useful tip.

Man this video is a life saver. Was getting so frustrated with this BS I was debating quitting but decided to look this video up and now I'm actually having a far easier time after reloading my save to just before I chose my first general.

[@beartech28]

I have 160 hours in this game already and I didnt know closing and reopening the general window cycled them... wow... Great tips =)

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Yeah, having Master of Maneuver to get that 4th stack of units is a crazy good bonus. A Mage type helps too, so you can spam Cure Wounds to keep that Infirmary bar from being maxed out at the end of a fight.

[@sydanus1866]

Thanks, Leeroy! The crusade system was very intimating at the start for me, but after watching your video guides I feel much more confident. Cheers!

[@A_Simple_Neurose]

Best tip right here; spend tons on archers and hellknights. Get infirmary size up as much as possible. If you want to basically just cheat then hope your commander gets the thundering scream ability or whatever it's called that flat out stuns units and can make the enemy commander skip their turn so they cant even cast magic.

[@LeeroyGaming]

That def works. Stacking insane amounts of infirmary/hospitals is crazy good too. No limits on those either.

[@yammoto148]

You preferably want a general that can kill either help you outright kill enemies or augment your units into one shoting machines. Mage generals are usually best for this as you can drop a fireball at the start of battle and almost eradicate the enemy army. It however becomes harder as you face more difficult armies as Balors will nuke everyone you have to death and will go first so there a more defensive general is better towards the late game. Also pay attention to what units your advisors are suggesting, some suggestions are better than others, like you don't want a bunch of weak slingers in comparison to Marksmen. I find Regil often has the best choices for infantry and defensive units, Seela for units that can heal and support, the advisor for the cheap and weak units, Wenduag for bandits and scoundrels who usually are versatile rather than strong and Greybor suggests expensive but very strong units.

[@freack3333]

Thanks, i was starting find the Crusade system annoying. Thanks for the tips.

[@LeeroyGaming]

[@TheLokiel]

Heal self is a quick action (at least for priests) meaning in your « defend and heal » video you should have used their heal on themselves before defending. That’s two heals per turn.

[@silversurfie]

First playthrough where I didn't know what I was doing I hired the dwarf general. Had a hard time keeping a strong army stack since I couldn't heal or facing high level armies my archers get one shot. After getting a wizard general in Act 3 I knew I screwed up and restarted.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Smart. Yea Unf warrior generals get the sharf. No healing, no crazy op ranged spells for dps either. The extra defense buff to offense and or defense feels so meh

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

@@LeeroyGaming To me the Warrior generals should be like Tacticians, or Battle Master Fighters in D&D, they should come with a plethora of abilities that directly and noticeably buff the army. Stuff like "adds Power level +1 to the AC of all units in the army" or "for the next round units deal Power level x2 bonus damage on each hit". That way, the larger the army the larger the bonus.

[@LeeroyGaming]

@@XoRandomGuyoX yea I agree. The various abilities and spells are not balanced well in crusade mode

[@nathaneardley7394]

Fun note, if you have a army with a size greater than 3 from the general,once the units are in there you can change the general to one who doesn’t have the feat, and the army remains the same size.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Ha, interesting exploit. Not personally a fan of doing stuff like this but it is a way to squeeze out a little more power out of your main general

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

Yeah, I stumbled into making the correct choice for my first general. Picked a mage that had scorching ray as their first spell, a few levels later and cure wounds and haste are also available with a bonus freebie of true strike which I act like it isn't there since my hatred for that spell transcends both time and space because of how useless it is elsewhere.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Sometimes we get lucky like that. I feel like the non mage generals need a major buff to compete. Scorching day is cheap and gets insanely powerful after a few levels.

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

@@LeeroyGaming True that. My mage general was sniping full units of demons before I took Drezen. It made up for the fact that she doesn't have to extra troops buff. I agree, it'd be interesting if they, say, developed unique abilities for the more traditional generals, like rain of arrows for the ranged ones or a damage buff for soldiers under the command of the soldier commanders. I think I'll mention that on the discord some-time in the future, probably a bit after they're caught up on bug-squashing.

[@luchtain]

If I'm going the angel mythic path, is it okay to set the crusade settings to auto? I know in some cases, like for the lich, you have to build certain things in order to finish the mythic quests. I wasn't sure if angel was the same way or not.

[@Darkmagician923]

a mage is better off spitting spells at ranged enemies; After ranged enemies are dead, just drop very low melee enemies and start healing; As long as you have mana, you WILL destroy everything; Also Chief Girl Mage is the best, because it gives extra power and she is harder to raise into high lvl; 2nd comes Maneuver Mage cuz he can rely on his army when he is freshly recruited.

[@Xsorus]

I went with a Paladin at the start because I didn't know I could reset it....Its worked out ok i guess....the Paladin gets some type of ability that 5x5 Square that will stun anyone in it for multiple rounds if they fail the save. Undead Esp get screwed by it....I literally will AOE stun a clump and have my three archer stacks pick off the rest. It also doesn't cost energy either... you can literally use it the entire battle.

[@Xsorus]

Also choose Shield Bearers...when offered the option.....Have them run in before everyone else...The Enemies will go directly for them and they take like 0 damage....

[@TonyPaulazzo]

Wow, thanks so much, a nice, easy to understand bunch of tips. I'd already started (got my camp moved north a bit) and by luck chose a general with the manoeuvre thing and heal spell; but was wondering why newly recruited soldiers still start out from near Kenarbre rather than my new forward camp (or maybe I'm missing a button?), there's an awful lot of info I'm still learning, like DC and AC and why my heavy armour wearing paladin keeps failing to use magic items??? - I kind'a know armour and magic don't really mix but Seela was already armoured up when she joined. It's been fun learning all these new rules tho (almost makes me wanna find a Pathfinder DND group IRL after seeing the world map). Happy 2022!

[@LeeroyGaming]

Recruited soldiers will always come out of the main city (which will change to a different city in act 3). Its just the way it is. However you will gain access to teleportation which should help with movement some as the map is pretty big.

[@baesato]

[@HiQueenJenn]

So I just started , and didn't pay much attention to this part of the game at first until I got locked out of progression. Won my battles , but with heavy casualties. Now I'm at -100 morale constantly, can't recruit, and can't beat any of the remaining forts to progress. I guess I have to restart using your guide.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Wiping out at the beginning or having heavy casualties can be absolutely devastating. Happened to me as well my 1st time. Reason I originally made the guides/ they may not be perfect and patches have fixed some of the original problems but I think you’ll find the guides quite helpful :)

[@Vishnu-ge2jo]

Setsuna shy is the best general hands down. He gets +1 army size and the scorch spell at level 1

[@LeeroyGaming]

Yup. Best of both worlds. Larger armies and insane caster power. Best part is you can just keep refreshing generals till you get him.

[@andrewh3079]

[@scienceontheright]

Already have two armies with two level 3 generals. Should I get rid of both of them and buy a new one? It seems really expensive to do that. I don't have a lot of gold.

[@SoraJustAGuy]

Finished the game, crusader system is fun at first, but becomes boring and bothersome like around mid chapter 3 to manage(build buildings, buy resources, buy warriors, battle, repeat). Try it, but don’t be afraid to put it on auto management if you are not into it (you not gonna lose anything)

[@АйдоралСмертестойкий]

You should totally mention army merging interface as it was confusing af for me at the start.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Doh! You are so right. Missed that and yes it was annoying to figure out at first

[@Baraz_Red]

Is there a point in having a second "main" army (as a last resort defense of the camp for example) or should the other armies only serve as reinforcements for the one main army? (I will check your new advanced video which maybe mentions this.)

[@LeeroyGaming]

I have found no reason yet to have multi armies. As long as you build the citadel building in each mini settlement you will have 6 days to get to any siege, which is plenty of time no matter where your main army is on the map. Also, it takes a lot of xp to level up an army so leveling up multiple armies/generals seems inefficient. On a side note, I have about 8 armies of random units I got for free parked @drezen. Maybe I can make a second army out of them eventually. But why? Granted I haven’t finished the game yet so maybe I’m still missing something.

[@nickllama5296]

@@LeeroyGaming I tried leveling up a second general and a second army, but the cost to have a second useful army is just ridiculously prohibitive. And like you said, it doesn't really seem to serve much purpose. Just doomstack the Hellknights and roflstomp the entire map.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

What I want to know is, how do you transfer soldiers between armies? Is it only possible at the start of a day when they all have 40 movement?

[@LeeroyGaming]

No, at any time. They just have to be on sale space. Then you can click on the little two way arrow icon on the stack while having one army selected. Then you can cycle which other army to trade with (in the case that there are multiple armies present)

[@dafrca]

I wish I had understood the ability to split "types" into two units to give you more archer attacks for example.

[@47ravenlord]

I picked Grinning wolf and he seems to get WAY better abilities than the mages. Cure wounds, master of maneuver x3 by lvl 8 for me, lots of traps, lots of mage abilities....really seems to be much more versatile.

[@LeeroyGaming]

from all my playthrooughs im thinking there is a lot of randomness in what abilities you get. obviously fighters are not gonna get spells, but its hard to predict whether you get useful options on level up.

[@CaitSith87]

How do i get access to recruit spellcasters? Wizards seem anazing but i only have 9. Sorcerer arrove as mercenaries but they only have scorching ray which is not the best element against demons.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

@@LeeroyGaming The main benefit is that it adds your Caster Level and your Mythic Rank together for the purposes of Spell Penetration. I believe it also allows your casting stat to be applied to spell Difficulty Class when it comes to making Saving Throws against your spells. The drawback though is that you're limited to the spells available to your character class' spell list.

[@My2CentsYall]

Understanding the buildings is an issue. what to build. I been trying to strengthen base units and they still die. the regular troop suck but its all i get. do the benefits of building stack. How do you get more of a particular unit.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

To get more of a unit you need to defeat an enemy fort, which turns it into a crusader outpost, then you can build there and produce Garrisons. These boost your weekly recruitment numbers. So if you build 4 outposts to have an archery garrison you'll get +100% archer recruitment per week. As for building for stat bonuses, the cheapest formation is a barracks and archery range corner to corner with a smithy and arsenal filling in the other corners of the square. That boosts the AC and damage for all footmen and archers.

[@CaitSith87]

Act 3: I think i figured it most of it out on my own and so far kicking a**. The tutorial could be better i found out yesterday that you can build buildings….But what happens when i destroyed all the demon armees? Does my morale will only plummit afterwards as i have no fights anymore? I usually play one round armee and then one adventuring day and vice versa but like this i have clewred almost whole southern map untill level 7 demon armee. But storywise i am nowhere? Worked in act 2 but there are a lot more quests in act 3 and also i did not see the morale tab so no clue how well it was. Nevetheless lets see what i learn :)

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Basically it pays to drag your feet, to a degree. See how much morale is replenished by defeating one demon army, how much is lost per day, and then wait until the morale replenished is just enough to bounce back to being maxed for the purpose of recruitment. That way you get extra weeks to recruit more units, which will be needed if you go for the optional demon generals on the map.

@@XoRandomGuyoX maybe my version is broken. I dont loese any of the three morale states. Just killing the mobile stack once in a while is aparantly enough in my playthrough.

My first one I did with it enabled, and almost regretted purchasing the game, the second I turned that crap off faster than I could turn off Chlamydia for Koala's.... cause those poor Koala's... and yeah, next one I will follow your advice! Thanks :)

@@TheGrimmy thank you for this follow up comment. Look... I get plenty of comments from people who are frustrated because of a mechanic/feature/bug that upsets them. As long as people keep language in check I don't mind people venting. Thats healthy. If its a personal attack on me vulger then the youtube auto system seems to auto-delete/hide comments anyways. Outside of that one negative circumstance I just feel good that people care enough to take the time and comment. Even if the comment is sarcastic or a bit mean hearted. I cant control people, but I always remember that according to KZbin any comment is a good comment and for small channels like mine that are trying to grow any comment/view etc is extremely valuable. So again, thank you for your follow up comment. I took no offense and I am glad that you did enjoy my video overall.

@@LeeroyGaming I definitely get it. I always try to have a sense of humor that doesn't cross a line, but sometimes it gets taken as mean-spirited anyways. I'm glad you understood I wasn't saying your video was actually bad, because knowing the growing army mechanic is actually very fricken helpful. I didn't spend enough time to actually get that addition. I just tried to rush it because I hate turn based stuff. I always try and leave some positivity where I go. I hate comments on videos, especially on reviews or guides where people are upset with the game so they downrate the video or leave offensive comments. I can't even understand that mentality. I've never disliked a video, I only ever like one based on comment. Kind of like the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." but you know people and their entitled internet anonymity, lol, people don't know who they are so they think they can be full Demon mythic :P lol Anyways, I will sub to show some extra support. I don't think I did and I look for content like yours, so it's great to have. Cheers!

Best tip is to just put it on autopilot

[@Kaynos]

So enemy armies do not respawn ?

[@LeeroyGaming]

Static armies do not. But a new army spawns and heads for one of your cities/outposts every few days

[@Stone7C1]

pathfinder of might and magic.

[@onyxia8786]

You're really Leeroy Jinkins aren't you?

[@Nineteenfivepointfive]

I turnt it of after act 3. It's absolutely bad boring and plays like a Facebook flash game. There is nothing strategic or exiting. The game is miles better without it. The loot you get for it and the quests are forgettable.

[@OWlsfordshire]

People are saying you have to leave it on to complete mythic quests for certain paths.

[@jeremyc4811]

Yeah, I'm on turn 150 against a f'ing rock elemental squad with 800 HP. My army is doing about 40 damage per round...so yeah...it's taking a lot of clicking.

[@Fyrstar2008]

I screwed up and got a blah general without the reinforcements trait. I just cleared Drezen. Should I start a new general?

[@LeeroyGaming]

It’s up to you. You can catch up a general pretty quick. If you ask me.. “I personally would” , cause otherwise you can run into some frustration as fights will be much harder than they need to be. Early on losing units hurts a LOT as recruitment is so slow/low.

[@Fyrstar2008]

@@LeeroyGaming Thanks for your response =D

I didn't even bother and turned off entirely. Kingdom management was such a pain and profitless goldsink in kingmaker I figured it wouls be no different.

[@LeeroyGaming]

So what’s worse if apparently you lose your main armies when you hit act 5. I’m there atm in my main playthrough and if my lvl 10 general with his giant army is somewhere to be found then I have not found him anywhere. Not too happy that I have to rebuild my army from scratch. Haven’t beat the game yet but maybe someone can confirm if you get your main army or armies back at some point in act 5?

Brace yourselves for chapter three crusade management hell! Lol

[@geoffreystevens2916]

I can't see the mouse in this video. Please fix for future videos! Great video besides that tho! Thanks

[@jengaaaaa]

I've lost like 7 armies and now I can't even open the crusade army menus 😁

[@LeeroyGaming]

Wow lol that’s really bad

[@verrezen]

Yeah, and then it falls apart when a lvl7 demon general in a lvl 6 army, blasts your archers with 7k chain lightning and wipes out your stack of next to 300 archers in one go. THAT is when you need a BIG hospital.

[@LeeroyGaming]

It’s funny you said that. I JUST ran into that fight. SW of rezen right? Lighting attack killed 291 archers. That’s a reload right there lol

[@verrezen]

@@LeeroyGaming Yup, that’s the one. Well, I upgraded to rangers. Going to have to see if that helps.

[@heniv181]

Woops. This was ment to be a reply. A tip/tactic for when meeting enemy armies with general. 1. You always split of 3 of your cheapest soldiers off your main army. 2. Send these to attack the enemy army. To find out what ability the enemy General has. 3. If it has an ability that can one shot a unit. Then you keep sending small units to drain its mana/energy.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Ah, I see someone already posted it, but there's the tactic of sending tiny suicide squads against that general to deplete their Energy. Cheesy, but keeps those 300 archers alive.

[@beastrace81]

just got here and lost all my armies trying to fight shit lmao. im like i better figure out what in gods name im doing.

[@LeeroyGaming]

I’m sorry but your comment made me lol in rl. Good stuff. Yea, you can face plant real easy at the start. Hope the tips help you faceplant less :)
