Conquistador Kickstarter is live

[Hassat Hunter]

If you pledged $30 to the Kickstarter (or to our Paypal once that goes up) you'll get the new build some time next week!

Looking forward to it!

I don't know whether to play the early builds or not. There's a few here who know their way around the genre a lot better than me, and some of the other backers who seem really keen.

Curiosity will probably get the better of me anyhow.

Well the good thing is that even if you have the intro campaign ruined for you because you play the unfinished version, by the time the game is done it'll have a second, much larger campaign for you to explore in its finished state. It's a win/win situation really

Not me. So we can be noobs together

Beta...
First complaint... I have no idea what all the influence traits mean. How can I make a decision if not even knowing what "adventurous" or "open minded" could have for effect.
So going in a bit blind here with picking my team...

Also, absolutely no difference in stats between characters? Intended? I would have expected having to make choices like do I go for the more HP warrior or the one with the bigger damage. But no such choices...
Or maybe it's too early for that.

So, final creation screen, suddenly "scouting" is added as skill. Why isn't it in the first screen? Why can I only influence it with scouts and not points. Or take them away?

EDIT:
Aaaaaand... I lost the tutorial battle. To show how skillful I am. Doctor+Hunter kill warrior, doctor can't heal and gets killed by warrior, and finally my hunter gets it too. What are the + and - buttons above the end turn? They have no popup, and I have no idea what they do either...
Let's try that again

Animation speed.

Ah... that's very handy to know.

Needless to say, I already broke the game and need to restart...
Saves can be presented if needed.

Sadly, it seems screenshots (F12) don't work during conversations, so I can't mention all typo's I noticed so far. Note to self, write them down right away next time. They are very few though, and maybe I am even wrong with some of them (not native english).
Atleast one I am sure is a typo is Isabele and Isabelle for the same woman (at the cargo). Probably should be one or the other.
Also one was "to be released" in the trainers dialogue, were the be was missing. Sadly, can't state exactly where now.

As for the gamebreaking, may I suggest not allowing people to save during conversations. It would immediately fix my issue, and I suspect a LOT more gamebreaking stuff can happen if it remains allowed.

Last; should we already make an account here?
http://logicartists.com/forum/
Not sure how the kickstarter access stuff will work, and kind of hesitant to create an account before I suddenly lock myself out due to that.

[Jaedar]

You should have received a message from kickstarter telling you to register at the logic artists forum and how to access the donor only stuff.

It seems saving and loading is broken as it changes your resources.

@Hassat: Join the club fellow noob. My battle skills need work too....lots of work. Yeah, Hassat on the Kickstarter page there's a link that'll let you into the backer's forum. A couple of bugs you mentioned have been reported there.

Edit: Aha, Jaedar beat me.

[Hassat Hunter]

Load broken save, main menu, make new game... it loads my save up again.

Oh well, retry from scratch (quite game, new game).

No, don't think I got that mail...

[bobby 55]

Log on the Kickstarter page and a backers only link will be available to you. I dunno if you've already registered at LA. If not you'll have to do that too.

[Hassat Hunter]

Thanks bobby... on it now!

[Hassat Hunter]

Waiting for confirmation, and fortunately rebooting the game fully allowed me to proceed. With less warriors and more hunters this time.
Hopefully I can get some more time in tonight, first work for my study (blegh).

I'll leave with this typo in the first conversation;
It typically does not please the Governor the give justification for his decisions.
