I've just got this awesome hero who slices and dices and makes julienne fries, and I feel bad about using him because he's stealing kills from recruits. Thus, questions:

Which units can be promoted?
How many kills does it take? (Is the number different for each unit type?)
Is there a limit on how many dudes I can walk around with?

Hi Starmaker,

Starmaker: Which units can be promoted?
Your named heroes are the only units who don't get promoted. I *think* this is mentioned in a tutorial somewhere, but it would only be in passing, so it's pretty easy to miss.

As for how many kills each unit needs to rank up, it was a deliberate design choice not to give the player this information - we want ranking-up to be something that happens naturally during combat, rather than a system that players try to min-max. I will tell you that the kills needed is different for different unit types, and that in all cases, it's less than 10. That's all I'm gonna say, though.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you asking about the number of units you have at the start of each battle? If so, then yes, there's a limit - in fact it's a predetermined amount for each battle. If that's not what you meant, please let me know.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Tom C.

I mean is there a limit on the number of units that can be carried over?

Also, does the kill counter for thr purpose of promotion reset between parts of a multi-part battle?

(And it's more perfectionism than gaming the system; on Princess, where more units would actually matter, I can barely stay alive as it is. But amassing an army is fun. I love power fantasies and I try to play them out even in games where they aren't particularly appropriate.)

No. You can carry over as many units as you rank up.

Yes, you have to get enough kills to rank-up in a single part of multi-part battles.

Good luck with your Princess play-through. I hope this helps.
