I'm very intriuged by this. I have one question though: As I play with mostly 2 other players, can this be played like a ffa, where everyone fights everyone, or has this to be played as a team game?
I'm wondering how long a typical game is during the campaign. I know that's hard to measure; some players take more time and some players take less time. I tend to be a slow player myself as I like to really consider everything before going to the next turn.
That should be less of a problem, Michael. You can play the campaign solo, and then you can turn around and use the excellent enemy AI to play the standard game solo.
Hello, dimmok, Factions is a ground-up recreation of the game. The hexes are large, it uses standees, it no longer divides into ages, a complete streamlining of the rules set to remove any fiddly or complex sections, and more.
Hi Peter... we agree with you. We haven't used Kickstarter in the past and did well with Duel of Ages. Definitely distribution in Europe, and we'll be working on South Pacific. For us, Kickstarter is more a perk than an exclusive business method.

Hunting a machete-wielding squirrel... or being hunted by a machete-wielding squirrel? I guess it depends on which team you ask after the game!
It is my type of game. Love DoAII! Can't wait to get this!
Thanks Shawn, we can't wait either!
So very pumped for this.
We're excited to be closing in on the release.

Playtest games usually last around 4h, some shorter a few later ones longer. The AI turns are usually faster than the human turns.
Its weird DOAII is collecting dust on my shelve even nefver played (no time so far) but I know I will like it and also Worldspanner Factions

And with a rulebook that is 4000 less words, teaching Factions is easy.
@@worldspanner6072 complicated rules are no problem regarding complexity, its more the time factor 😁
Is this compatible with the older version?

Thanks for the reply. It’s a shame it’s makes my existing game obsolete. Hope you have a successful Kickstarter campaign though.
@@dimmok8344Thanks dimmok!
Maybe….if you get global distribution beyond Kick$tarter.

Then you are my kinda guys, and as a long-standing DOA fan I will definitely be buying Factions.
Brett, I shy away from KS nowadays but this may well be the exception. Will it be EU/UK friendly shipping?
@@markoreilly4433 It's going to be manufactured in Europe, so absolutely, it will be shipped from there.
