Any new thoughts on this one?  Gamersgate has it on sale for the next day for ~$10 (with code GGD).

I had it wish listed but removed it earlier in the month when the developer announced their next game despite this one not being fully finished.  The cards and battle system did not really appeal to me either which is mainly why I removed it.   If you like the time period and ageod card type games with those types of battles I'd say can't beat it for $10 bucks, I don't think they ever released the "big" patch yet to add the rest of the gameplay (could be wrong about this).

I don't really have enough spare troops to siege your forts, so at best I could raid you.  I'll kill your stuff if you force me to do it, but it's really not a priority for me at all.  My game will be won or lost based on how fights with Mari go.

If you don't dome your forts, I will just disease and curse anything Mari sends onto your infrastructure to prevent her taking it.  If you can prevent her cracking walls for a few turns after I do that, the low-MR mounts in particular will have horrible afflictions.  Disease takes something like 10 turns to kill usually, but due to the hp decrease, a cursed unit will take lots of afflictions before then.

If you have a crone of Avalon with air, use wailing winds.  It's an extremely obnoxious spell (worse than blood rain) and I will be surprised if Mari can storm a fort with that up unless she just unloads like 30 pillars of fire or puts up wrathful skies and one of those catches your mage (she has the air queens so this is extremely likely to be active).  Might want to gear against that!  She can also cast mass flight to fly over your walls, unless one of you puts up storm.  If you can take 200-300 flying blessed knights of the chalice, then don't bother, but otherwise storm is a good idea.  Almost guaranteed you see fire storm since her bless has FR in it.  So yeah, just make sure you have lots of buffs, including both shock and fire resistance, a means to deal with flying to surround you, a way to see in the dark, and a way to manfight hundreds of sacreds.  Easy, right?

Her win condition for the war is to overrun us with troops and equalize/surpass me in infrastructure.  Mine is to kill her armies before she takes infra, after which my any-fort sacreds, while weaker, will be more numerous and boosted by the throne giving them awe.

Mari's armies are larger than mine + Man's combined right now, and she has multiple tech 8s researched.  I'm a bit ahead of her in tech, but tech differential isn't too impactful when both sides have 8s.

I've followed Bruce Gordon's YouTube channel and read his book "The Spirit of Attack" I've learned so much about the Delta Dagger and Dart. I've grown to appreciate the sophistication and technology of the F-106 so it has a spot in my heart.

I just picked this up and played through the tutorial, and I'm digging it so far.  It's definitely a little on the janky side in terms of UI, but the basic gameplay is nice, similar to Battle Academy but with much cooler graphics.  It's definitely not a hardcore tactical sim (e.g. tank crews are simulated, but you can replace them instantly with a cooldown ability)

The camera controls don't strike me as being that different from Battle Academy.  Did you guys play past the first part of the tutorial?  Because it unlocks the camera after the first few dialogue bits.  I took this screenshot where I'm zoomed mostly out and it feels plenty free to me.  Though it does do that annoying thing where the camera starts to look straight down the more you zoom out.

But even in that screenshot you can't see anything. I need to see what's in front of me and see the MAP so I can develop an attack approach. The weird fov prevents that in game.

I don't believe it does.  I have only a couple of the early DLC (Waking the Tiger, Man the Guns) and it worked fine last time I tried (a year ago).  I just reloaded the latest version but haven't run more than a few days before some other shiny thing came along.

Oh wow! At first I thought this was an official module announcement, but it looks like a well-made FC3 mod.

F-106 Delta Dart

Interesting. Love me some deltas.

So what ended up happening? Who is at war with who now?

Still moving slowly, but I just declared war on both Bandar and Mari to keep things exciting 

Ohhh you just pulled a Tanaka nice! Spice that #$%^&%$% up!

Are you dead yet? Lol

Game's going pretty slowly, but I think we're about to hit turn 1 of war.  Mari and Bandar both went to war at the same time, so remains to be seen what each first move will be.  Who will go for all that tasty Manly real estate?  Time will tell!
