Echlir, I'm jealous :). Care to share with us any details about the single-player progress?

Any news from anyone who saw Stoic at PAX? I'm
hoping for an update soon.

Tim at Ctrl+Alt+Delete, a popular webcomic about videogames, just posted a great review of The Banner Saga Factions. I think it's great publicity for the game.

I can't link directly to the...

I don't think 17 armor raidmasters are broken. They will eventually run out of willpower to keep using their stonewall ability, and while they use it they can't attack. Ignore them and attack other...

Thanks for the update on what's coming up for Factions. (of all the new features you've mentioned 2v2 looks especially cool) You should really post this information in a kickstarter update to let...

Phantom, I know from experience that a full strength warhawk or warmaster can easily cut through the raidmaster's stonewall ability and do strength damage. So stonewall doesnt make your unit...

Very informative post. Is it bad that you can be so effective with only 2 types of units? I'm not sure. I believe that ideally a more diverse team should be able to adapt and beat a less diverse one,...

I'd like to add that hopefully before the single-player Banner Saga game is released, I hear Stoic will add some single-player narrative missions to the Factions game (to flesh out the plot, as a...

I agree that different numbers of kills to get ranks 1, 2, and 3 for each unit type would be a good thing. Archers get a majority of kills and this should be reflected in the upgrade requirements.

Server is back up! Yay!

The developers are working hard to fix the server and lag issues. I played the beta for 2 months and really enjoyed the game - with only 5-30 players online it was very smooth. Obviously 1,000+...

I love how the launch trailer and the intro to the tutorial describe the same event from two different perspectives. We aren't even in the single-player game and you're already showing off how...

Perhaps a long winning streak is more important to some people than their Elo ranking. What if you added a option to narrow the search parameters to limit available to opponents to only those within...

Is there somewhere we can go in the game to view the achievements we've acquired so far?

I agree Robert, although I tried that against a Warmaster in the beta, and his 17 strength attack managed to still cripple my Raidmaster with 1 hit.

I really enjoyed the video, I don't have time to watch entire battles, but it's neat to watch little tutorials. I look forward to watching more in the future.

I haven't though much about the...

I'd forgotten about the 1 bonus renown you get for winning, but my point is that you should get even more renown for winning a battle.

I was losing a very close game recently and it occurred to me that losing a close game and winning a close game is almost the same in terms of renown. If I win a close game, I get 6 renown, if I lose...

Here's a link to a PDF of the manual from A-Sharp's website:

Am I the only person who wasn't able to rename my thrasher when promoting him during the tutorial?

The current on-saele renown prices are a bit odd. The normal prices sell renown for 15 per dollar/18 per dollar/20 per dollar and 25 per dollar, depending on which level you buy. The on sale prices...

Thanks for the explanation Arnie, that makes a lot more sense to me now. Much appreciated. (though I like the sound of raven's 3-4-5 idea because by the time you max out the ability it have an added...

I like the low amount of randomness in Factions. Currently (I think) it's limited to the thrasher "bloody" flail attack and the change to hit percentage when your attack is less than an opponent's...

That's disappointing, I assumed the slag was in the same cross-shape as the old siege archer. If it only affects 2 random tiles, it makes it a lot harder to block off terrain. If the slag only does 1...

I know everyone's excited by the marketplace and the tutorial, but I'm curious to hear people's thoughts about the new siege archer. It sounds like the coals are more similar to the original idea for...
