Think I posted about this in wrong subforum earlier but I think some sort of traps would be cool.

Just thinking later it might be cool to have some sort of traps that you can lay.

I have been using this unit a lot, I think it is very usefull and has helped me late game ona  few occasions already. I will have to play a lot more rigth now but to heal 3 is pretty powerfull in my opinion, specially since you can sacrifice then summon again.

I think it would limit the game too much, specially since you only have 3 units. I enjoy being able to have a few heals now and then, but I understand how that might not be your preference.

I like the idea of a random drop, at least as a selectable option. It adds to the options and would make the battles perhaps move around and be more flowing as people try to get small powerups like that.

The logo that is used to indicate there is a new post in thread needs to be brighter in my opinion. Picky I know but hey

This is a very good question, I have worked in the game industry for awhile now and have seen from both sides how a community operates. The most important thing is you have a GREAT product that speaks for itself, I find in most small company games word of mouth is the best way to get established, I personally just started playing and have friends that are playing as well and will be telling others. Gen con is how I got introduced to this game so that was obviously a good way to get out there and meet people, so I encourage any game conventions or similar type events that you might be able to attend.

I think it is wise for the company to be active with its players as often as possible for a few reasons. It helps solidify keeping active players, allows them to interact with the developers themselves and that creates an environment that players can get strongly attached to and be very vocal about when it comes to telling friends about a "great new game". The huge corporate games often lack the fan passion that many smaller games have, so I think that's key for a small company to use to its advantage.

Making sure forums don't get out of control in any way so that a pleasant environment is always presented goes a long way to winning parents and younger players over and sets the stage to keep the game self regulated as far as fan behavior.

First and foremost in my mind its value for money, you have lots of options just starting out without having to purchase endless packs like in a common ccg or similar model, with the option to buy more for what I would consider a modest if not cheap price.

This is sort of a digital board game as I see it and I dont think I have seen anything like it, at least not taking it even close to the depth that this game has.

This game captures a lot of elements that made other games great and combines them together in a new way. I love that its a small game company who delivered a complete polished game right out of the gates, yet it was built with almost a limitless potential for growth with units abilities and so on.

I have been playing video games for over 25 years and this is one of the very few games that surprises me and truly was a great find.

Lots and Lots of things,

I enjoy the simple way in which complex strategy and tactics can be used. Having played strategy games both board and computer I have always been fond of them. The way you can combine your units into warbands of different sorts to try out new strategies and combos will keep it fresh for a long time. Hero mages just came out and already has enough units abilities and spells to form many combos and tactics, everything from freezing opponents in place to summoning units and casting powerful spells.

The valor status is a great game mechanic rewarding you and powering up abilities while in battle instead of just having access to all abilities from start, that adds a depth to the game battles itself which I enjoy.

I love that you have a map editor, which I will purchase shortly. It will give the fans and serious players instant access to creating their own maps and let the company tap into the creative potential of its fans.

The amount of stats kept is a dream, It lets you see the performance of yours and others units for fun, game balance and bragging rights. I think features like that also add to the depth and richness of the game adding to the history of players themselves.

The forums are loaded with usefull tools that will allow the casual and hard core gamers to really get into, and post about everything from strategies to hearing about news from developers.

I was at this years gencon and met the owner who obviously had a passion for games and a clear direction for this one, so kudos and keep up the good work, I look forward to being here for awhile.

See you on the battlefield.

I had two flash player crashes in my nine games, 2 wins too

I just did an update to my flash player wasnt that old but needed newest patch, so lets hope that helps.

As a long time player of such games I am aware of the disconnect issue and how players try to abuse it, having said that I do want some way to reconnect incase I do drop out, but I am patient with that sort of thing. Get it right the first time I say.

Will let you know if it continues to happen.

Was wonder if anyone started to develop a favorite warband ?

Right now I have been enjoying Summoner with samurai and paladin.

The summons I use as blockers while moving my guardians into position, and the paladin helps heal summons and the other warband members.

Met you at gencon and I am playing all day today, great game and hope gencon went well.

Just bought the rest of the heros, I played 2 games then had to have them lol. Getting used to all the features on the user interface, Its cool cause you have a lot going on. I liked the stats you can keep on your champs.

Got back from gencon after running the demo of heromages. Wanted to say it was my favorite find of the show and hope to see you on the battlefield soon.
