Hey everyone,
I'm going to do a slightly different type of update today so forgive the unusual format!
Stabcon
I am about to jump on a train to Stabcon, a UK board game convention in Southampton and will be taking a copy of The City of Kings with me. If you are attending, come say hello!
Stretch Goals
Due to Stabcon, I’m going to have limited internet access so I have added 2 more stretch goals and revealed the troll artwork. Let’s see how much we can unlock over the next few days!
Dice
I have finished the new dice and you will find an updated version on the Kickstarter page, we also have a new stretch goal to engrave them!
Creatures
Since I started designing The City of Kings I have always believed the creature war banners were the best and most thematic way of representing creatures. They make thematic sense within our world, allow you to visualise monsters how you please based on back stories and abilities, and make the game play very smooth as they are easy to identify.
With that said, a lot of people have been unhappy with this approach and I wanted to find a way to please both parties. So! We are going to be unlocking some creatures (such as the troll) which you will be able to use as a replacement for the war banners should you choose.
These creatures form part of the story and for those who continue to use the war banners (as I would recommend) you will be able to use these creatures for specific story driven battles, in a similar way to a boss. I hope this approach will continue to enhance the visual experience The City of Kings provides whilst offering further visual identity for those wanting it.
There is of course one condition to all this, we need to unlock some more stretch goals!
