Heroscape: Aquilla's Alliance et Ticalla Jungle

Posté le: Jeu Fév 07, 2008 12:28 am

Il semblerait que les extensions Aquilla's Alliance et Ticalla Jungle soient annoncées concernant leur fabrication.
Selon Wizard, celles-ci ne devraient pas être commercialisées ? C'est à ni rien comprendre...

Ces deux extentions ne sortiront pas telles que prévues initialement.

Aquilla’s Alliance and Ticalla Jungle:

Is there any news on when Aquilla's Alliance and Ticalla Jungle will be released?
WotC: This is a tricky one. As you know, the Jungle set was delayed for a number of reasons, including having to go back and rebuild a couple of the components from scratch. The downside of this is that, with the changes, we'd lose money if we produced this set. And that's not good for our long-term survival.

So, we've taken a step back, and looked for other ways that we can put trees into your hands. Our leading contender is something that solves two problems in one fell swoop. It'll give you the trees you want, and it gives the hobby stores the ability to sell terrain to people (they can't easily carry the master set because they can't make enough money on it).

Here's the plan: Cut the packaging down to a simple box with no window (saves a bunch of $), and put the following components in the box: 2 Trees, 2 Brush, and around 20 swamp/jungle-themed hex tiles (1, 2, 3, and 7-hex). At the same time, we're also looking at a desert terrain pack, containing rock formations (using the ice molds), with 5 rocks and a similar amount of sand/rock-themed terrain. Both of these would sell for $20, and would be sold in hobby stores.

Both of these will be a big test for how well future terrain packs will do. We're working on a plan that will put brand new terrain features (graves, statues, columns, walls, whatever else we can come up with) out in similar packs for 2009. Look for another thread some point soon to discuss desired new terrain features.

Will the Aquilla general idea be discontinued altogether?
WotC: I definitely hear the voices on the jungle terrain. Our engineers are trying to get the cost of the product down, and any cost savings will go right back into putting more stuff into the packs. But, we're limited on what we can do.

Personally, I don't think the Aquilla [Alliance Large Pack] general idea works well enough the way it's been done. But, I think there's a definite place for large figs in Heroscape. We're going to give it more thought (and maybe you guys can help too) to figure out how it could work.

Am I understanding correctly, Aquilla may be scratched completely?
WotC: By "Aquilla", I was specifically referring to the Aquilla's Alliance set, not the character Aquilla - she's here to stay. If I said anything bad about her, she'd probably send some of the scarier parts of her army to kill me. Monks and spiders, I can deal with. But not those things.

Regarding the already completed figures for the Aquilla's Alliance set. Can we expect to see them eventually, somewhere?
WotC: Yes. We'll definitely release all of them. I don't have a timeline yet, but it will happen.

If the terrain is going to be repackaged as stated, what's going to happen to the spiders?
WotC: We'll release the spiders somewhere. Not yet sure where, but they're done, and they're cool, so they'll come out. The trees and brush look exactly like they did when you saw them.

sur le site funagain ils étaient inscrit à côté de ses extensions: Préorder.
Maintenant il est inscrit annoncé. Donc il y a forcément une erreur. Sa métonnerait que se soit le site funagain qui est en erreur. Il est quand même un des plus gros sites de ventes de jeux de société.

Enfin une bonne nouvelle 404

Je croyais qu'Aquilla avait été supprimé, alors c'était faux?

Bon moi aussi je croyais, suite un interview d'un gars de chez WotC.
Peut être que le processus de production était trop avancé pour revenir en arrière. Et puis Maïtre Woo machin existe aussi, donc Aquilla ne pouvait plus être mort-né.

Merci Lyricoz pour les nouvelles. Moi, ça fait un mois que je ne suis pas passé sur le forum américain... Sad

HouseMouseGames annonce la sortie officielle de ses extensions pour le 13 juin.

Je viens d'aller jeter un très rapide coup d'oeil au forum américain. Je constate que plusieurs nouvelles ne se sont pas encore rendues ici ainsi que des réponses officielles de Hasbro concernant quelques points de règle. Va falloir qu'on s'engage un "reporteur".

Quelques nouvelles sur les nouvelles figurines:

Wolves of Badru wrote:
DARKLORD BONDING
Before taking a turn with Wolves of Badru, you may first take a turn with any Darklord you control.

CLIMB 2X
When moving up or down levels of terrain, Wolves of Badru may double their height.

POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3. Attack 5.
A Wolf of Badru that moved but did not attack normally may use Pounce Special Attack. To pounce, choose a non-adjacent small or medium figure whose base is not higher or lower than 5 levels from the base of the attacking Wolf. If the figure is destroyed, immediately place the attacking Wolf on the space the figure occupied. If the figure is not destroyed, destroy the attacking Wolf.

Veuillez donc noter qu'il y a enfin des figurines ayant un lien avec Khosumet! Il semblerait que les concepteurs écoutent les doléances des joueurs de temps à autre. Maintenant, il nous reste à spéculer sur le coûit et les caractéristiques de ces loups afin de voir si ils sont jouables (et donc Khosumet par ricochet)????
