Yay! And castles :) Thank you WK!

Great job WK!:)

nice havent checked them out, but i will :)

Thank You!

YES, now, to compare and contrast.

Umm... what was added? It actually looks shorter.

They changed:

- the rule for demoralized
- put a range limit on relics who had no limit
- same thing for illusions
- removed the gang up bonus??

Is it all?

From a quick scan I see; cavalry retain their normal arc (but not mounts w/o riders?), Demo'd figures are eliminated only at the end of their own controller's turn, MDFs and titans are eliminated only when enough skulls are showing, the battlefield width was increased to 4' and illusions/relics are also limited to 24" effective range (unless they have an explicit range value included).

The 'standard' game description was inadvertently left with the 3' x 6' measurement, though. Capture is still excluded, any attack type figure with range can add to damage or attack and the item/relic limit was retained.

Overall, I'm very happy with their changes. I would've like to have seen formation counterspelling, though. And I liked the gang up damage bonus rule. :)

I don't see any change in the demoralized rule.

They added that Titans and MDWs can only be eliminated by causing the correct number of skulls appearing on the dial (i.e. critical hits w/Decapitator against Titans and MDWs will be treated as a normal critical hit).

It used to say, 'Warriors (except castle sections) are eliminated when they gain Demoralized as a result of taking damage.'

Now it says, 'At the end of each player’s turn, warriors in that player’s army which have the Demoralized special ability showing on their dial and do not have their starting marker showing are eliminated.' The castle breaching rule is later...

Hugs for Draddog and WK for releasing Castle rules!

I don't think they are applying the rule of 3 to the fortification bonus...They site an example where a figure's Defense is boosted from 16 to 20. Either that or I am a moron...:D

They still didint give Titans & MDF's some proficiencies.
They should apear dauntless.:(

vladswrath - the example is actually in error there. The Rule of 3 would still apply.
