    Names are linked to tags which are then linked to each action/challenge/modifier/race, as these events occur they embed the tags into clues which can be deciphered by heroes and sages - all names for all Old Ones that are selectable for this scenario (counting all loaded Mods) are available for...

    We have a post for it in the forums but most people are waiting for the Beta before submitting.

    The hand-drawn map you see is just a thematic overview (though at one point we were working with that artist to see if we could make hexes from her style). We spent an... excessive ... amount of time scrapping the existing (pre-made) map system from the KS to make the new hex-based system. We...

    Vapourware That Which Sleeps - Vaporware Strategy RP

    Not at all - just highly, highly delayed (it will be seven months as of October based on the post-KS beta date of March) for a variety of reasons that we've been pretty detailed about on the official forums. On the plus side the game looks much nicer and has a lot of added complexity, though...

    We're actually leaning towards this approach for a general overview screen, but after looking at the largest possible scenarios it still gets fairly convoluted when tracing between them and getting a feel for what conflicts are occurring becomes difficult. We supplemented that with a "drill...

    Ah I see - yeah that is definitely a strong indicator of whether or not these nations would join into the Alliance together though it is a viable tactic to create diplomatic dependencies to entangle the world into a global conflict. I definitely need to do some research into this - if you, or...

    The difficulty there is that the Alliance does not "form" until a sufficient threat is present, which in most cases is relatively late in the game (unless you play Karth orc rush which is the only way I play anymore). The response to that is probably "can I check the circumstances by which a...

    If the ENTIRE world unites into the Alliance and you have not significantly weakened them (such as forcing them into wars of attrition that have reduced their armies or sabotaging their elites) or you are close to victory yourself you will never win a military victory. This is by design - the...

    Balance is an interesting concept for our game - as a single player game that pivots entirely around the strength of its AI we are actually balancing more towards the AI's ability to respond and manipulate these actions than the player themselves. Every single "challenge" you can undertake in...

    Vapourware That Which Sleeps - Vaporware Strategy RP

    Yes - this is a very recent feature (we crammed it in right before we locked down for the Beta Build) so much of the complexity is still TBD. Right now the ley lines (currently called the Veins of Limos) move between Sites of Power and you can alter the course of the line through different hex...

    Perfectly reasonable - Debauchery is handled via a societal value for Decadence and the Lust trait pushes Notables into 'obscene' acts, there isn't "Tech" per say but instead "Lore" which aids either in the development of new spells or allows research into Ancient Lore.

    Alright here's the deal - as a very special Thank You to the fine people of the Codex who absolutely gave us the critical boost we needed in the early days of the Kickstarter (as did Bay12) we would like to let you describe/design a terrifying or enlightening Fallen Primal that wanders a...

    We've been holding off on this assuming that people would want to play the Beta first before submitting something, but enough people have asked that maybe we should simply enable it for those who want to submit at this time. EDIT: We'll release it with a big "IF YOU SUBMIT NOW THIS IS FINAL"...

    We don't consider any of the map assets (except for the mountains) to be final at this time - if you watch the Map Builder video you'll see we have an alternate tileset that is more realistic/colorful. Personally I'm trying to get us closer to a cartographic look for the map which will be...
