Pyrflamme Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I was way hoping for Three Kingdoms, but Abyssina looks cool as well. Will there be any stretch goals, or just "here's the levels and that's that"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Oh, that is a pretty sample card from the deck. Legible, reversible--new favorite I think! *locates potential stompybot faction(s) but waits to hear more about gameplay* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veskit Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 so is there only going to be 4 factions total? or are there more than that in the pipeline? Hard to sell a game that only has 4 factions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warlock Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The glory mechanic sounds really cool- Using leadership to inspire towards greatness rather than using it to rally fleeing troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retnab Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've been excited by this for a long time One question about the factions though, the faction blurbs describe them as basically King's Empire - ranged, Gibbering Hordes - melee, Cult of the Burning Man - magic/hit&run, but Abyssinia - mix? Does Abyssinia have a general lean like the others, or is it the jack of all trades faction, generally speaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From their little blurb it mentions that their army are more elite, so stronger than average units but lower unit count maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's King's Empire which has the giant stompybot we had a preview of months ago, I think. Which post I cannot find now, of course.

I'm getting that vibe, too. It might make things harder in a game like Malifaux, but if for TOS they go with zones and flags as the objectives - which if you haven't played other games that use them, I would compare to a mixup of Turf War and Squatter's Rights but with varying locations - shoving elite units into those areas might be feasible versus swarm armies. 4 minutes ago, Gnomezilla said: But it's King's Empire which has the giant stompybot we had a preview of months ago, I think. Which post I cannot find now, of course. You can also see it in the header image for the King's Empire page. Maybe Abyssina will have smaller versions as well, though, and maybe even power armor equivalents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 You'll find out more about the Allegiances in coming weeks, which will give you a better idea about Abyssinia. I think 4 Allegiances is a great way to launch a game 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the preview for the mini (or maxiature like someone else called it) once I looked in the right season. It was in June. Definitely the King's Empire's giant stompybot, which means I have got to wait for more playstyle info because there's two options for giant stompybots.

Xavian and Deathgrip Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I found a page called the faction calculus a while back on tvtropes, and it seems to hold true now. (look it up it's a really interesting read) 1. Powerhouse: I have the feeling this will be Abysinia 2. Balanced: The king's empire 3:Subversive: The cult of the burning man 4: (normally this is the mages and their monsters, but this time it is solely the monsters) cannons, the gibbering hordes I am kinda wondering if the breach is going to close again, it would be interesting to have both of these things seperate, I know this will be controversial, but it is difficult to have two games with different factions at once without stepping on any lore toes. Not sure which side I like the most, Abysinia has buzzsaw robots, the cult has a dragon (i like dragons, and they remind me of Tzeentch, I like Tzeentch. Even if everyone I have met pronounces his name differently), and the gibbering hordes are Cthulhu tyranids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to sell a game that only has 4 factions.... Malifaux launched with 5. Dropzone commander has 4. Warmachine launched with 4. X-Wing and Star Wars Armada launched with 2. X Wing players complained when the 3rd faction was introduced, and Armada players constantly complain about the possibility of another faction appearing. I think 4 is fine at launch. More can always be added later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadicXnightmare Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 My wallet aches in anticipation! It's going to be difficult to pick between these factions and I think the models themselves will have to be the deciding factor. I am also a little surprised that the Three Kingdoms did not make an initial showing, but that gives you guys a solid contender for inevitable expansion down the road. 4 is a solid number of factions to start. Super excited for the Kickstarter launch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
