In King’s Bounty tonight, I actually first went and redid the tutorial quests quickly, just so I could make a better choice for my first level-up bonus (minor Leadership bumps won’t be that useful in the long run). I then immediately did the king’s main quests to get the Chest of Rage, which contains four demons, and now I have to do quests for them in order to ‘activate’ them and get their assistance. Fortunately I’d heard ahead of time that it’s best to do this part right away, since the demons level up with you.
Their quests are a bit tougher than I can handle right now though, so I spent the rest of the evening cleaning up easier fights and minor quests in the starting area of Greenwort, including a trip into a cave to defeat some werewolves that resulted in my first defeat. Fortunately the enemies retain their losses, so I recruited another army and went back to clean up the rest of them.
