I ran across Thorvalla yesterday, that looks like a more promising RPG to me, with Neal Hallford (Betrayal at Krondor) and Guido Henkel (Planescape: Torment and Fallout 2), they asking for a lot which giving the scope of the game sounds realistic.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/g3studios/thorvalla-an-rpg-by-guido-henkel Looks somewhat interesting, but with 19 days remaining and not even 50k raised of 1 million goal, it doesn't look as if it's going to make it short of a major earth quake. It's an interesting side of Kickstarter, really.. Get off to a slow start and you're screwed, because only the biggest enthusiasts are going to bother chipping in when a project seems unlikely to reach- or exceed its funding goal.
Meanwhile, it seems like GODUS will make it. A more modest goal than the above, but still, it's surprising to me that people are actually backing that one with Peter Molyneux name being attached to the project.
totally agree, amazing how things you personally feel you should stay away from take of like a rocket (like godus) and others which really interest you don't even get to 10%.
but things can change fast on kickstarter, Forced also looked not to make it and then bang it went into overdrive  |

Not really.
Strategy is on a macro level, while tactics are micro level. So your overall plan in a war is considered strategy, while the assignment of each combat squad in any given engagement are considered tactics.
Creston
Yeah, for me it depends on whether it's pure tactics or not. X-COM and JA work for me because they aren't in a bubble.
And, when I played RTS games, I loved anything that required building, hated anything that involved only having units that are given to you (Gettysburg remains my least favorite Sid Meier game.) |

That's more or less a lie. Smash Brothers is NOT hotseat, and hotseat is NOT Smash Brothers.
While grammatically the sentence is sound, the end result is that people misinterpret it as how you read it. What is meant is that 2-6 player multiplayer support is akin to the SSB style, which is quantified by the "you and your friends..together in the same room" statement.
I still say it's a blatant misstatement. They could have picked any game, but they deliberately chose one of the single most popular single-screen multiplayer games of all time. One that's also frantic.
There are a million other ways to phrase that without deliberately misleading people. Choose a better game. Describe what happens. Anything. |

I'm out on this. I adore strategy, I hate tactics. What's the difference? Hard to say, and maybe this game fits my definition because it's turn based, but while I love things like X-COM I hated things like Freedom Force. |

| Good luck to them. I can't chip in (Spent WAY too much on the Autumn Steam sale). But more strategy is always a good thing. |
