Puzzle Palace
I beat the five stories and am now doing the custom campaigns. When prompted to play the dreaded Puzzle Palace mission, it turned out even worse than I imagined. Unlike story mode, where I started with a nearby Temple, I begin at the 3 o'clock position which contains no foundations. Worse yet, the AI controls every single foundation from the very beginning. Restarting the mission changes nothing, so I'm always limited to building Basal Golems. Trying to take over an enemy foundation is pretty close to impossible since the maze is already crawling with enemy Basal Golems, Zombies, and Gargoyles. My single attempt at a take-over was a pathfinding nightmare that naturally ended with my Golems getting slaughtered. My understanding is that the campaigns have some degree of randomness, so I'm wondering if this was just plain bad luck? Has anyone else been in the same situation with this mission?
