70k for random encounters? What?

Eh... custom-design set-piece encounters on top of the usual random encounters stuff (and/or artisan-related pseudo-random stuff)? I'm ok with it.

This is a better stretch goal.

you mean the one goal which could end up meaning 0+10 Global encounters is a better goal?

Thats so vague that it could just be not there.
How is it vague? You get 10 more "random" encounters, they mean they happen randomly but they are unique hand-crafted encounters. It doesn't matter if it's 0+10, why would it? "HoMM battles" is vaguer.

According to Discord , Riddle(s) of Areshkagal

Interesting.

Obedience
Some devotees of Areshkagal gain special powers by regularly etching the Twenty-three Riddles of the Flesh—an interlocked series of puzzles no mortal has yet solved—on their skin with a knife carved from the rib-bone of a child.[4]

I have explained what the problem is above.

I do not agree that the HoMaM Style system is vague, the details are. Comparatively though we would neither have gotten this nor expected such a system. How it will turns out IS naturally not clear.

A Time for War

Another goal is funded, wow! Thank you so much for helping us make the Crusade better. And we are moving to another feature that can be enhanced—random encounters on a global map. As you may know, it's a dangerous business, going out your door—a lot might happen with an adventurer who steps onto a road. With ten new special events, your journey will be much more memorable. And yes, not all of these encounters will lead to combat.

feae8752dc5bd35e9d4681b60f5ed909_original.png

Many of you have played Pathfinder: Kingmaker and had the experience of building a kingdom in the dangerous wilderness of the Stolen Lands. The time has come to abandon your hopes for a peaceful reign, because in Wrath of the Righteous, you will not rule a kingdom, but will instead lead the fight against the demons of the Worldwound in the Fifth Crusade. Or, as we like to call it, the Last Crusade.

d7d1c03f4590f95a0d4efe04486ca742_original.png

You will raise and command armies of thousands, comprising dozens of troop types (now including cavalry, thanks to your generous pledges), and will slaughter countless demons, their worshipers, and other horrific creatures. Parallel to your own party, these armies will march through the Worldwound at your command, doing the work that only an army can do: liberating the demon-infested lands, excavating the ruins of destroyed Sarkoris, and cleansing old shrines of demonic corruption—all this will bring the crusade ever closer to ultimate victory.

But an army is nothing without proper logistical support and new recruits to fill its ranks. In your fortress, you will construct barracks, stables, and other buildings to bolster your forces. Perhaps one of your advisors might recommend that you build a tavern or a market, to raise the morale of crusaders and citizens alike, and to add more funds to your war chest.

With new challenges come new choices. How will you fight the war—with honor and dignity, or with the cold efficiency of a gore-grinding war machine? Or maybe you prefer unconventional troops and methods, or even strategies that even the most cruel and merciless commanders would have eschewed?

How will you develop your fortress—as a bustling and living city, with civilians, craftsmen, and merchants, or as a grim military installation? Are the people living there your loyal subjects, or merely tools for achieving your goals? Why will they choose to follow you into the depths of the Abyss? For glory? For honor? For gold?

Will you be loyal to Mendev, the nation funding your crusade, or will you seek the help of other countries that may try to weaken or even destroy Mendev outright? What will you do with the horrible and corrupted discoveries you are bound to make in the war against the demons—will you use them in your favor or abstain, fearing the worst?

Speaking of discoveries—the lands of the Worldwound are far from empty. The whole civilization of Sarkoris once stood there, and numerous artifacts lie in these lands to this day, waiting to be recovered. Of course, some of them might be guarded by hundreds of dangerous enemies, but that is precisely why you have an army at your command. Some of these artifacts are ready to use immediately, but some may require lengthy and expensive projects to craft a piece of suitable equipment from them—with numerous decisions to be made in the process. Will you craft the scales of that dragon onto a shield, or will you fashion them into armor? What type of armor will it be? Will those minotaur horns be placed on a helmet or made into vicious daggers? It is up to you to decide. Of course, you will find some of these artifacts simply in the course of your adventures, with no need for an army.

Mythic paths, of course, will also have their own unique influence on the crusade. As a lich, you will be able to raise dead enemies and allies as undead. As a demon, you will make your soldiers fight like demons, howling in rage, and feasting on the blood of enemies. As an angel, you will lead celestial beings into battle and resurrect dead allies in the middle of the fight.

Get ready—war, blood, horrors, glory, demons, and riches all await you in the Worldwound. It’s time to lead the crusade.


To arms!

Probably safe to compare it to P:K which didn't have too many kinds of random encounters, so 10 more would be great.
Still, that feels like something you'd have the intern hack together in an afternoon. A couple of random encounters, write some dialogue, create some items, boom, done.

Gather the units! Signal the men! Blow the horn!
The Monks are marching!
We shall take back the abyss!
Through sheer will! And raw power!
With fist and kicks! We will push back the demonic menace!

So now the stretch goals are very good, but looks like the KS campaign lost some momentum and the last 2 days are not *that* good. Its a pity. I don't think we will get too far with the numbers.

The issue here is that we do not know how many they planned so it's a +10 from which basis?

In reality, those Global encounters will not have been designed as of yet so it could end up at whatever number they desire.
We'll get at least 10 then.

We're getting 40-50 today, then two more days. If things didn't spike at all, that'd be 88k more at the very low end, but I'm expecting ~50k today, ~60-70k tomorrow, and ~70-100k on the last day (or 148k-188k more in total). That would put the campaign at 1.872-1902M. Guess we'll see!

Sounds reasonable. I just wish we'd get to 2 mil. I wish I could pledge.

Don't worry! Your support in this campaign is more than enough!

I pledged, but wish I could pledge more. Before I retired, I'd have thrown money at this.
