Development Info S&S: Underworld gets more tactical options

[Elwro]

Charles sends word that he has made "significant additions to Underworld combat" which involve "tactical distance management."

Underworld Gold has new combat rules that involve distance management, adding both realism and tactical depth. In previous versions only monsters were marked in or out of melee (a + indicated that they were in). Now the same goes for characters. This opened the door to a few extra tactical options.

- Any character can rush to the front.

- Characters in melee can choose to step back.

- Those behind the lines can choose to step in.

- Characters in melee can attempt to shove enemies out of melee.

- Party leader can order the party to press forward. This only uses up the leader’s turn and causes both monsters and characters to enter melee.

- Party leader can order the party to fall back. This only uses up the leader’s turn and causes both monsters and characters to leave melee.​

Go to Charles' blog to see a screen depicting the new options. Remember that Underworld Gold will be a free update for all customers and may be released as early as March. Great to see the game getting new options and hoping they stay in for the sequel!

Looking a little better. Maybe he should put in more boobies so he gets a few more fanboys in his threads.

Sorry. Graphic assets come in irregularly so I use that time to make improvements. It's all the artist's fault

Charles is just trying to fit in with the other vaporware RPG merchants that have been or are frequenting these hallowed halls...Difference of course is that he has released an Alpha version for sale already...
