[NecrosD]

game sounds great will def back this ASAP.

 

[OSK]

Why hasn't this been funded yet?

 

[Jaedar]

Don't know.

Doesn't look too good either, counter has been moving very slowly lately it seems. Shame if this doesn't get funded

 

[Helly]

Backed.
Will definitely follow that one closely.

 

[TripJack]

i will be a sad panda if this doesn't get funded

No exposure. Needs to have more interviews, reddit chats, gameplay vids, etc., whatever gets the word out on other sites.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Why would this get funded when the second star command kickstarter (you know, for whom the first drive turned out to not have enough left over for making the game) reached 150k! awwww yeaaah free market

[Overboard]

Perhaps it's time for the devs to take more drastic measures, such as sacrificing virgins (not themselves though).

 

[Quetzacoatl]

Self flaying should suffice.

I like that you can place barricades on the battlefield. That battle was too easy though.

 

[Jaedar]

That it was.

I like that the ai seemed to do hit and run attacks with its ranged dudes.

Montezuma is a dick. If I ever start near him, he's the first to get taken out.

Why do you hate him so much? He didn't introduce sacrifice, he was told from birth that it must be done to please gods... he didn't know any better. I bet if you were brought up the same way you would do some sacrifices yourself.

He did say it was from early in the game. The next video should take place later in the campaign.

Sorry. I was brought up to look down on foreign empires, to assassinate their leaders, topple their governments, destroy their infrastructure and recreate their society in my image.

 

[Quetzacoatl]

Can barricades be destroyed and traps disabled? Will the enemy be able to employ their own traps and barricades?

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Ok, why in hell this is not getting funded?

 

[villain of the story]

I like that you can place barricades on the battlefield. But I don't like that it can be done with so trivial ease.

The game looks terrific. Animations, sound, little particle effects, interface, things just look right and come together. But I am not certain I like the simplicity of the combat. And insta-healing with the medic.

And fuck Kickstarter exclusive content. This is the kind of thing giving me the impression that the developers are sort of out of touch with what goes in the industry and given the resources, they'd simply follow any big studio by submitting to the money-milking formula of DLCs and whatnot. Not cool, man.

Make it so barricades require multiple turns to construct in the battlefield. The better the barricade the more turns it needs.

I understand a difficulty curve, but that was tutorial difficulty. I don't want tutorial difficulty outside of the tutorial.

 

[villain of the story]

A new setting at last! Something that isnt renaissance Europe. No magic too. Well I like magic, especially if that would be Aztec kind of magic but well , can live with that.

There is magic. Medic characters insta-heal others in combat.

Then again, there are the spike traps. You build them right in front of the enemy and the enemy walks into them.

The traps should be set by one of your party members while the enemy has their attention on you mostly through diplomatic talk. Skills could then come into play as whether or not that party member is caught.

Or do it Combat Mission style, where you place the objects before the fight begins (each side would have their own area where they could set it up).

I would bet they haven't finished the AI yet, I don't think the Shaman did anything all battle.

He said there was a radius around his own units that he could place them, in this example that radius happened to be the entire battlefield.

It seemed like that's how this game works, unless you mean prior to units being on the map.

But he pointed out that it was stupid that you build traps right in front of them yet they still fell for the traps. They preferably shouldn't have done that.
