Hasbro works in stupid ways. Not having a video showing gameplay ready to go at launch was a blunder, they had plenty of time to work on it before now. |

But none of that's going to happen, so kind of a moot discussion point. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

It does not include Thaelenk Tundra. It does include a Ticalla Jungle. I think this is supposed to be a joke, but I didn't get it and wanted to make sure no one is confused.

I’m hilarious

Real talk, though: do you feel the information available about the game on the campaign page itself is at all new player friendly? Or are we just counting on the hypothetical idea that, maybe a week in, they’ll give information to that market? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

That’s not marketing it “far and wide.” That’s just saying “hey everyone who loves and misses Heroscape come and get it. And if you don’t know and love it we’ll explain later. Just hang out a while.” Now I’ll give you this a longer campaign than most crowdfunding campaigns. So it could be deliberate strategy to get the hardcore fans in before really going after the new crowd. Let them come over and see it’s already a third of the way funded. Ok, I’ll go along with that idea, but right now between the lack of any demo, rules, card mechanics, and the high entry point, it’s really not a welcoming campaign for non-scapers IMO. |

I believe they do intend this game to reach new players. Their methods so far leave something to be desired, but I think the intention is there. And I don't think it is spin to say that things like interviews with polygon, ads on Facebook, etc. are "spreading the news far and wide." If they were being insular they would *only* post on Heroscapers and discord (and maybe the Facebook group) but instead they are running ads, working to beef up the campaign presentation, etc. That's what I'm referring to.

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
OK, I think I see the disconnect. We're saying that the fact that they're doing a bad job of marketing to newer players suggests that the don't care about new markets. You agree they're doing a bad job of marketing to newer players but believe they do care about new markets and hopefully their actions will catch up with their intent eventually?
So kind of an intent versus competence argument? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
I think they also need to do a better job marketing to existing players, the main page still doesn't have much terrain info or specific unit stats/abilities.

Someone like me who's interested in the terrain and would probably just resell the figures has no real reason to back without knowing the exact terrain on offer. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion
I haven’t been on this site in years. I still have all my Heroscape (a complete set with many dupes and at least 3 of every common, plus enough terrain to run a small tournament) and will never get rid of it.
I won’t back this. It’s $250 for unpainted plastics. No way! Ok, I backed it. Should I buy two sets? They are done! Version 1.00 is out: Books of HeroScape in pdf format
