The Warcraft homage is very intentional - they even had to tone it down by request from Blizzard. Serfs were called peasants originally, and the orcs used to ride turtles in the water. All that makes me very happy! I love love love Warcraft 3!
Brice Lory I feel you! Original Warcraft and Warcraft 2 were the first 2 computer games I ever had! Loved them! Used to use the cheat codes all the time! I think glittering prizes was the one in wc2 that gave you all the money 🙌
Thanks for the review, Roy! Looks like a really cool game. I've never played a 4X game before but this one really grabs my attention. I do play with a lot of casual gamers, often introducing games for the first time. Have you found it very difficult to teach? Also, any comments on player count or game length?
Matthew Halowell as far as Civ style games this one is way easier to teach than most! It’s cool because it’s relatively simple to understand & teach but still has depth of decisions! I’ve enjoyed all player counts but I think I enjoy multiplayer more than two players just for the added negotiation aspect! Expansion even goes up to six players which works really well! I plan on shooting a video for it once I’ve played all the new factions!
JeffreyQProductions 30 per player really seems about how long it took! 🤔 maybe add 30min if you have multiple new players? The game could probably even go faster if someone is pushing for an end game condition?
That got me hyped! Went straight onto my wish list for 2018.
This game looks sick! Def sad I missed this on Kickstarter :(. This game reminds me of Warcraft 2 on the pc from back in the early 90s.
The first thing that came into my mind - Warcraft series :)
Jason collins You can still late pledge it on Kickstarter
Nikos Anagnopoulos not seeing the late pledge. I see where you can preorder though.

Hey Roy, great review! Looks awesome! Quick question, where did you get your gaming mat from? It's so cool!
Jeremy Paul Inked gaming! They do custom play mats and such!
Game Looks Gorgeous!
When the rebooted kickstarter ran it competed with Rising Sun for my interest, and the latter won. Though I might get this in retail eventually...

I look forward to that video!
They should coop with Blizzard for this game.
They did the crap wow pandemic. Instead Blizzard should go with this game in kickstarter.
How long are your games? Both with new players and with experienced players?

Awesome.
I think the biggest turn off for me is player elimination.
Hmmm. Mechanically, it seems very similar to Tiny Epic Kingdoms. I would rather play that. 😕
TEK is a great game imo. I wish the ultra tiny edition had the expansion...
@@Luchiop Yeah, I didn't get the original box, so I'm stuck with Ultra...with no expansion. 😔
Where did that manic hand gesture thing come from? Is that just a natural mannerism or something deliberate from theatre class or something like that?
wolflarson71 just excitement. I tend to get pretty animated if I’m passionate about something! Ha!
This game looks great.
I want this game so bad T.T
Ugh this looks terrible to me. As a former Warcraft player I just... no.
