What new feature/nation/spell/etc...

[JaydedOne]

...are you anticipating most? I figure this'll be a fun way to drum up additional enthusiasm, exchange information, and maybe get additional feedback from the playtesters.

For my part, I'm really looking forward to R'yleh LA - Dreamlands. Insanity-spreading dominion? Oh yes. My first game will almost certainly feature R'lyeh. Interestingly enough, LA Atlantis is also really intriguing, given its blood cult/Inuit feel as I understand it. I guess I just like ocean nations in decline.

I'm also, of course, curious to see how the new balance feels. With increased gold/supply, slower magic research, and the tweaking of former strategies (SCs and clam hoarding seem to be the ones people mention most), I'm really curious to see what the initial favored strategies in MP among each Age tend to be.

And you?

Late Era Atlantis. Umordang, that nation looks wicked cool.

Early Agarta too, just to foo' around with the Olm and the one-eyed gilled ogres.

The Aboloths also, because they look so cuuuuute. <3 >:3

Actually, I'm anticipating the demo most.

[JaydedOne]

*chuckle* Why? All indications are the demo'll be out after the game itself. Why anticipate the appetizer when the entree'll be served first?

[Nerfix]

'cause the game is already makred as backordered in Gamer's Front, and even if I get to order it I doubt I'll be getting it before the demo.

[JaydedOne]

I think it's marked as "backordered" incorrectly, truth be told. I bought on or around the day pre-orders became available and my order's listed as "backordered" as well. I'm pretty certain that all pre-orders are listed as such right now. I strongly doubt that the initial print run is so small that they're already back-ordered; if it were, given that it went to gold so recently, I'd imagine they'd just up the print count.

*shrug* I'd advise just ordering.
