Yea. You'll get Steam keys mailed to you just prior to it going public.

Yes.

Just put a PDF of the walkthrough. Only 3 more days!

Thanks for the kind words. Quick status report on LH. In July we released 1.7. In August we released an update to that which was largely a bug fix. Right now we're about to announce a new fantasy game in the series but is NOT a replacement to LH (i.e. LH is a 4X empire builder, the new game is an asymetrical 4X). Once I have a chance we will be updating LH to v2.0 which is scheduled to have these features: New tactical battle AI <

32bit-LAA (4GB instead of 2GB). Though, in practice, it has lower HW reqs than LH due to the updated graphics engine.

[quote who="Tattyhat" reply="51" id="3495917"] These founder people are all ultra snobs, and think they are better than us down-and-out homeless people. They should share their wealth of knowledge and stop being so greedy. [/quote] Yea. They think we're dirt. I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. Not that fancy, store-bought dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients. I...I can't compete with that.

October 2.

list price changes to $40 then. ;)

October 2. Shhh.

;) Yea, this is a game for the AI. You are there to entertain the AI. :-D

[quote who="AM_Shark" reply="29" id="3494476"] FAQ was funny. Thanks for the humor at work. I do have some additional questions outside of the FAQ. Anyway possible to create a drop-box or email for questions in the founders vault. Also this is the first time I have been a "founder" to anything. I have seen this term thrown around and watched forums of other games with founders go bananas when they did not get special things or were promised some

[quote who="jirkaesch" reply="21" id="3493719"] Frogboy, two questions emerge: 1) If I take minors´ city by force, will I be still able to train their unique units? Or only by diplomacy? 2) Earlier, you mentioned available units depend on a way we build our cities. Good. So will there be any hard restrictions, like mutually exklusive buildings? I.e. going through the mounted units building tree prevents you from going through after the pikemen? Or is

I suspect we're going to end up moving to a more web like solution in the long run. It is hard to maintain a Win32 app that supports so many different types of installer.

I am hoping we can put a Hall of Fame into v2.0. 2.0 is fairly far off though due to E2015. Might do a 1.8 in the meantime.

I'm excited and nervous about the whole thing. For example, we're doing diplomacy in a very different way. It's all conversations. Very asymmetrical. Very story driven. So much more magic. Pretty much every turn in battle for every unit involves magic. Especially late game. It's getting pretty close for EA.

The next DLC is supposed to be a bunch of new maps (tactical and otherwise). I'm still learning the stamp editor though so it's going to be a bit still.

Make sure you look at the mini map in some of the newer shots. ;)

[quote who="Matopicus" reply="16" id="3492988"] Please tell me it's not a 4x game for the phone... bonusXP has only made phone games... there is a huge difference between the two. Although the phone market is huge and you'd be foolish not to at least try to gain some of that market. But i'd rather see new PC games. i don't see the point in playing games on the phone when i have some many other electronics that are far better at gaming. [/quote] <p

The Founder's Vault has been updated with a lot of new screenshots as we start to get pretty close to announcement.

Not quite days away. Less than a month though.

Just wanted to check, what's the latest image you have?

Oh I have no idea what you're talking about... ;)

Yep. It's still coming. We had decided to do a 1.7 sooner and push 2.0 until later so that players didn't have to wait for the AI updates.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="11" id="3490544"] One thing I'm curious about- is the game going to be less moddable due to how it is working? (I've never modded before, if I end up with a lot of free time next year, I might try to bite the bullet and learn) [/quote] Should be just as moddable as the other Elemental games.
