Starcraft

a recommended order to read the novels

  1. Heaven’s Devils and Devils Due, both good books that tell the story of Raynor and Tychus
  2. Uprising, a short story telling how Kerrigan joined the Sons of Korhal
  3. Liberty’s Crusade, a retelling of the SC1 terran campaign (it’s not a great book but a popular one)
  4. Speed of Darkness, a retelling of the Battle of Mar Sara from the perspective of a group of marines
  5. StarCraft: Ghosts: Nova, the beginning of Nova’s story, takes place during the SC1 terran campaign
  6. Queen of Blades, a retelling of the SC1 zerg campaign (much better book)
  7. Shadow of the Xel’Naga, takes place between SC1 and BW (Seriously though THIS BOOK IS AWFUL AVOID IF POSSIBLE)
  8. I, Mengsk, a retelling of the life of Arcturus Mengsk, but takes place right before BW as he recounts his life to Valerian
  9. The Dark Templar Trilogy: Three books that take place after BW, personally my favorite starting point and builds up to SC2
  10. StarCraft Ghosts: Spectres: The story of the canceled StarCraft Ghosts game, takes place before SC2
  11. Flashpoint, takes place between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm —u/Subsourian

Thronebreaker

Corpse puzzle solution

  • 3rd corpse from right on your melee row
  • 3rd corpse from right on enemy ranged row > hero order
  • 3rd corpse from right on ranged row
  • 4th corpse from right on ranged row to clear the row.
  • 4th corpse from right on melee row > hero order
  • 4th corpse from right on melee row to clear the row
  • Anything in middle of enemy melee row to clear as many bodies as possible on melee row. (Sometimes you can full clear this, rng doesn’t require it, you should be able to clear enough to guarantee hero order victory regardless next turn)
  • 4th corpse from the right on enemy ranged row to clear the row.

Fableson puzzle solution

  1. Play Gascon on melee row and attack one of the guards.
  2. Play Reynard on any row and flip a Banquet Table on the melee row (very important).

  4. Play Reynard on any row and flip a Banquet Table on the ranged row.
  5. Play Gascon on the melee row and attack the injured guard.
  6. (Repeat steps 4-5 until one guard is dead.)
