Clan Invasion Kickstarter Discussion 5, Green Eyeshade Edition

[Sartris]

I got a "getting your links" email (after modifying my pledge for Nova Cat dice and coin, despite the thing being supposedly locked), and that email included redemption codes for Proliferation Cycle from CGL store and a link to Redemption and Malice PDF (downloaded via Crowdox judging by the link).

i have the "Getting your files" crowdox email from november so it only includes the codes for the proliferation cycle (obviously Redemption and Malice was added later). unfortunately there are no other emails or messages with access to that fiction for me

Same...

[Colt Ward]

Ah, Redemption & Malice leaked a week or two ago.  Is it available?

[Fat Guy]

Not in either of the links I have.

The first one came from Kickstarter and has five of the Proliferation stories.

The other came in an email from CGL during the campaign and has the rest of the digital content released so far. The most recent thing to be found there is the Mad Cat poster art.

[Empyrus]

What day did this email go out, and who is the sender?

I checked my inbox, trash and spam folders and I'm not seeing it.

I got it on monday-tuesday night (timezones...).
Sender is the same crowdox as the pledge manager emails.

[Fat Guy]

Last email I got from Crowdox was January 7th confirming my pledge.

Last email from CGL was character survey links on Monday.

Last email from Kickstarter was update #90 on Saturday.

[Colt Ward]

Yeah, I have not got anything either except the Tuesday update with the reminder about the character.

[Eisenwolf]

I did only receive the usual updates mail, too.

[Sartris]

It appears the new fiction was added to the crowdox pledge confirmation email after a specific date with no other links provided

How do you switch the address on file for shipping. I'm moving and don't want my kickstarter stuff lost in the mail.

[Empyrus]

New map's cool.

You mean on Pledge Manager? Pretty sure you can open it still and modify the address page.

[Wrangler]

I wish i knew how to add the new fiction to my google books reader. (sigh)
I have read it on my computer.

[shivanwurm]

Holth Forrest map update is out.  Nice and on fire.

[Empyrus]

They should make sure optional (BMM simplified) fire rules are on the Clan Invasion manual or on a paper slip with the Tukayyid map pack. I mean, that is a perfect place to use fire if there ever is one.

[pheonixstorm]

Sweet looking map. Can't wait for my goodies to show up.

[Tangoforone]

Does anyone else anticipate an issue with the burnt hex locations and black hex outlines?  The map looks cool, but at least from the image on my screen I can hardly see the hexes.  Maybe transition to light grey or white in that area.

My impression of this, because I had similar concerns and pestered quite a bit, was that prior to any shipping a confirmation email will be sent out by CrowdOx to confirm shipping location.  Perhaps worth an official response from CrowdOx or Catalyst that it will happen for Wave 1 shipping.

[Empyrus]

What exactly can the Salvage Boxes contain?
IIRC it was any Wave 1 Clan Omni Mech which would mean:

Code: [Select]

CI Box:
Executioner
Timber Wolf
Nova
Grendel
Adder

Command Star:
Dire Wolf
Summoner
Stormcrow
Shadow Cat
Mist Lynx

Heavy Striker Star:
Gargoyle
Hellbringer
Mad Dog
Ice Ferret
Viper
But i'm not 100% sure.

I think that’s right, but if you open up your crowdox pledge manager it’ll show what comes in the boxes if you have a level that includes them.

[shivanwurm]

Did they get up to the Clan Fire Star for wave 1? I seem to remember it being 3 clan packs and 2 IS packs able to make the production cut off deadline.

Duh, you're right, forgot that.

Pretty sure it didn't make the cut, IIRC Pledge Manager offered only Command and Heavy Striker for Wave 1.

From update #91
"We should have also fixed the problem with the free story we were giving out! You should see it rolling out in the next day or so because sending it to 13000 people seems to bog down the system ha ha."

It seems like There are so many of us we keep breaking things :P

[DarkSpade]

I'm really digging the new map.  Much better job at depicting an active battlefield than the one with all the dropship scorch marks.

How many more do we have?  Really looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Does anyone else anticipate an issue with the burnt hex locations and black hex outlines?  The map looks cool, but at least from the image on my screen I can hardly see the hexes.  Maybe transition to light grey or white in that area. 

I'm hoping they learned that lesson from the last set of maps.

[General308]

While the map looks great.  I wouldn't use it.  To many rolls for to keep up with the fire spreading it is going to slow the game down to a halt

[Empyrus]

Nothing forces one to use fire.

I'm disappointed that neither the Warhawk or Kit Fox is going to be in salvage boxes

Same here, sort of. Though i don't think i'd be lucky enough to get them (i'm getting only two salvage boxes) even if they were.

Fortunately the Fire Star contains Nova Cat (one of my favorites and i am making a Nova Cat unit), Fire Moth is one of the classic Omnis, and Cougar i like.

Getting a Huntsman is a bigger concern...

EDIT I just remembered the Elemental Star Pack made it to Wave 1, though i don't think the salvage boxes contain Elementals.

EDIT Pity the Jenner IIC isn't yet on the line to get art redone and a mini...

I intend to use it and just ignore the rules for spreading.

[Greatclub]

I'm hoping they learned that lesson from the last set of maps.

nothing compares to some of the maps in sets 5 and six. Moonscape two in particular is a PITA, although it's a fun enough map I wish they'd re-do it with good art.

:through clenched teeth:: Box Canyon

Other than the fact than they have it on the map rather you want to use it or not. ;)
