Sorry had to.
If I would buy Runewars that's what I would play.
Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.
I'm already trying to sell one Undead Army for WFB/AoS.

yeah, between boring Humans and boring Elves, we have boring Skellingtons.
Yes I am salty that RW gets all FFG's attention now.

When you invest resources into a game you gotta give it every advantage to sell well.

I know I know, like I said, I'm being salty and trolly for the sake of it. I still believe Armada is not treated properly for the 3rd best selling miniatures game.

Was a bit worried the RuinWares was dead. Nervous feelings gone. Why oh why do I always pick games that don't get any love?
Anyone want to play Muskets and Tomahawks or FoW Vietnam? Maybe I just like being alone.

Runewars- All day, er'ry day
@Madaghmire
I owe you an Apology.
They did indeed do both.
I have a strong feeling that we won't see preview articles until they hit Shipping now.
Even then FFG will only put them up begrudgingly between Runewars articles.

Even if that's the case, that's on-track to be 2 weeks away at this point.
Based on the IA release, anyway.

my thoughts exactly
I just so badly want an article about ANYTHING so I no longer have to hear any of the following:
1) Well, I've watched one game of Star Wars Armada. Here's how I fix Rieekan, because I know more than both game designers and all of you who have played for ages.
2) Here's my ideas for new mechanics, ships, Commanders, and every other thing under the sun that are both undercosted for a real game and/or make it so I effectively auto-win as soon as I put this down in front of me. I am not a crackpot.
3) I want my old 2 ship fleet to be competitive again. What if we changed the rules ENTIRELY to benefit me, no matter if things have changed since wave 1?
Sorry to be snarky, but I'm getting frowny at a lot of these topics being discussed lately. -________________________________-

The unfortunate thing is - these aren't really new, they're just louder.
DiabloAzul and GileadPaellon were great back in the day because he took a lot of those "new mechanics and ships" and formalised it somewhat, subjecting them to rigorous testing and feedback, before looking at the "clone wars" edition of release for their fan stuff... Mostly, the formalisation of that let people at least aim for a direct comparison.
FoaS and the KDYards then took that over when things died down and people were busy with Life. There's just not revival of the design formalisation, because there's fewer gaps to fill, and minority voices are louder...
That, and it repeats because people want their voice to be heard, so they create new threads rather than posting in the large threads where their voices are lost in the crowd.

I don't know why.
The vast majority of them weren't there to make a difference.
Certain gaming groups openly admitted they also stacked it in that favour - therefore tainting the data and the competition somewhat.

what, they picked Rieekan aces list just to show how OP it is?

My complaint is not that the build is strong (I think there's Imperial ways to beat it, having seen it being beaten in action repeatedly by a specific build that's competitive against it and several other builds....). My complaint is that everyone has their own plan on How to Fix Rieekan, and many of them are, for lack of a better term, bad. "Let's make Rieekan cost 68 points and when his ships die, everything gets wiped off of them and they can't have any upgrades and blah blah blah. Also, if you take Rieekan your opponent should get to punch you in the nuts at least once for free, because the spirit of fairness or whatever." The build needs to be addressed, but the general attempts by the forumites are not particularly helpful, in my opinion.

Essentially, Yes. In their testing, they found it strong, so they all took variations of it, since they were travelling as a group.
From what I understand from their own words, anyway... I may have misconstrued them, I don't discount that as a possibility - but that seemed to be the intent. Even normally hardcore Imperial players of that group took it.
