While I'll miss some of the stuff that has been streamlined away, this does look great. Assembling a random map in advance and then forming the right team for the map--rather than vice versa--is a great move, and I'm glad that you pointed out that it speeds things up by allowing the game to be set up before guests arrive.
Yes, letting the players (especially new players) concentrate on picking their cool heroes rather than building a map really helped both in teaching the game and in game time.
Ooooof. I finally fulfilled a long pipe dream of buying Duel of Ages 2 with the master set. I get all excited and start looking up stuff about it while it ships... only to discover the 3rd edition is literally right around the corner. lol. Oh well. It does take the wind out of my sail about learning the deep complex rules of DoA2 if the streamlined version is right around the corner. With any luck I can still find a buddy to play it with me. :D Still... I know I'll end up getting the new edition.
Any chance of a storage solution that can hold all the content you plan? Seems like a minor detail, but it is less than ideal when multiple boxes needed for a game….

And you have two ways to play Factions solo, normal play and the campaign. So friends are optional but appreciated.
I don't think the rules are that bad.
Like Battlestar Galactica with expansions likely have more to get through.

So when do we get to play it? 😂
Life intervened and I had to take a few months mostly away from the project. But I'm expecting the Kickstarter around September, give or take amonth.
@@worldspanner6072 Thanks for reply. Hope things get back on track soon for you.
