Hi There,

My group are running the 5E version of Kingmaker 2E.

From reports on this forum and elsewhere, there appears to definitely be issues with Kingdom Management, however I haven't seen too much commentary on the Mass Combat / Warfare rules.

For those that have used these rules before, would I be better to run the Legendary Games Ultimate Kingdom rules (5E) instead of those that come with Kingmaker 2E? Do they also suffer from similar issues?

Additionally, are the Legendary Games Stronghold rules solid as well?

I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this - I couldn't see a Kingmaker 2E 5E forum.

Thanks in advance.

Hi There - we have only just started Kingmaker, actually doing a prelude module now, however I would be removing the ability to purchase magic items.

All of that said I haven't got to the kingdom building rules yet so not sure how integral purchasing of magic items are to this function.

Hi There,

The Hex map for Kingmaker has the area broken into distinct regions, such as the Greenbelt for example, and is labelled with the region name.

Is this something the characters should already know?

In fact, when playing this how do you handle the Hex map? Completely reveal to the party or reveal only the hexes they have explored? I don't mean the specific encounters (e.g. GB16) but just the whole map and the regional divisions?

Thanks for your advice.
