Hey there, did you use the same WHS Account that you created when you played Scourge of Estellion and purchased the limited-time Deepwood Dragoons IAP? If you did, let us know the email address you used to register for Mercenaries (and your Commander Name will be helpful too). We'll check up on it first thing when we hit the office tomorrow.
I already bought the collector's edition, but now I really want that elite collector's edition. Ugh. I just want all the brigades and banner options.
Just got the big pack, too And already have a - minor - complaint: Nettlesong: They are the most expensive Brigade, and I understand that they had to be toned down a bit. But add another Pain Harvester, so they have a Trine. If really needed, remove the other Crowbeak as well.
Outstanding job by the Devs (again).....really impressed so far with the little time I have spent with the tutorial and the menu/UI, etc... Thanks to Witching Hour for the hard work and the great multiplayer game! Looking forward to battling you guys online!
YESSSSS! The day I come back from my Internet-deprived vacation this comes out worldwide. Time to aim for that elite collector's edition! To anyone still on the fence about Ravenmark: SOE, at half price it is an absolute steal. Do yourself and iOS gaming a favor and pick it up, because the bonus brigades that you get in Mercs alone should warrant the price, let alone the hours of quality content that you'll find yourself immersed in.
^Agreed. The Aconite Maulers are absolutely terrifying. 80 Melee Skill plus Charge plus increased crit chance PLUS reducing opponent's melee armor by 10 per attack is frightening lol. Just give me Helram and three of these and I'm all set.
I've been eyeing both of these games for a while. And am torn. I really don't have space for either game (thank you very much Deus Ex ). I'm not sure how much I'd get into the multiplayer so the (larger) SOE is probably more of what I'd like. Even though there isn't a "storyline", does the single player in Mercenaries at least give you a good introduction to the gameplay? Thinking of downloading this since it's smaller than either the freemium or paid versions of SOE to see if I'd enjoy it.
Mechanically it's essentially the same game. If you're just looking for an intro to the series then Mercs is probably a good starting point. It provides a very detailed tutorial (as does SOE) and has skirmish maps against the AI with increasing difficulty which will let you test your skill. You can also choose the units you send in battle which isn't available in SOE, but at the same time you lose the scale of the epic battles in SOE.
I see that this must be a really great multiplayer game (it has a nice a tabletop wargame flair) but honestly, i was intimidated after the first hour. As much as i would love to get my head around this game, my backlog of games is just to big to start another timesink. But great work anyway. I dropped a dollar for support and deleted it.
As somewhat of a Ravenmark expert I would say that playing the original Ravenmark will give you a better idea of the mythology of the world and of many of the characters and incidents that lead to Mercineries If story is more of your thing then get the original as it contains more of that plus it has the battle scenes when you ingage enemies This new offering focuses more on the multiplayer aspects of controlling these awesome brigades against people around the world. There is some story here but more will come later on Trust me the first time you incounter some of the different factions that occupy this world you'll understand our excitement over finally getting to control them yourself. Also the original will be on sale tomorrow May the blessing of Kayes guide you
Yes, it is a timesink pretty much everything else is on the backburner for now. But it is worth it for sure. And no need to rush things. If you want to take it slow, do a few Minor Contracts a day (only takes a few minutes for 5-6 of those), and play against the AI when you feel like it. Helps getting a feel for the game, and some XP for your troops. And you can always send me - and many others, I am sure - an invite for a practice match. Yes, the Maulers are tough cookies. But from Beta I remember a few games where they got torn to pieces easily, both on my side and my opponent's. I mainly asked for the Trine of Pain Harvesters because it looks more "complete" to me: Having only a Deuce of units where the full complement is a Trine looks odd to me. Anyways, quite happy we are fully live now. @dreadnok: Kayes, hmph. For Esotre, for Science! And for the Goggles! ) -> We need mottos that we can show somewhere ingame, like a battlecry.
Go for it Haha! Have fun dude, and cheers! We'll look into it again, and consider it during the next round of balancing. The Nettlesong were my favourite brigade to use too, but yeah... crazy strong. Also, Bear Cavalry ftw. Cheers dude, we did put a lot of effort into the whole User Experience. Glad you like it! Kind words sir. Very heartwarming to see how much you guys are into the whole saga. It's always awesome to hear. But yes, go for it! We rarely ever go on sale! It's a great chance to immerse yourself into the world Hmm, well Mercs is free so you might want to try that out first and see how it goes. Mess around with Mercs for a bit. The sale for SOE will last a week, so you have until then to decide. If anything, you'd want to grab a commander name before someone else does. On the other hand, if you start with SOE and finish it, you do get unique brigades in Mercs. SOE will also familiarize you with the world and lore. It's worth 30 hours of brutal, tactical gameplay, so prepare yourself! Hahaha, thanks dude! Yeah, I'm still not done fiddling with all the customizations myself. Roflmao Thanks dude. Pity you won't be joining us . But hey, whenever you're free you're welcome to come back and give it a go! Hear hear! I heartily agree. Also, just to add to the user experience, we've decided to pretty up the websites with a new layout and more artwork. Do check it out here at http://www.ravenmark-saga.com/ Cheers, Khai
