Dorfy greetings to you all,
Yeah... now it's getting them all estates and waiting for the inevitable streak of "paused as a newcomer not likely to return".
Probably some of us will leave. Battlemaster does have a vaguely 1990s vibe to its web interface that can intimidate the unserious. But have you seen the convoluted 1980s interface of Dwarf Fortress? The steep learning curve and the patience required? I reckon a lot of us are sticking if we find some good depth to this game.
As for this war with Libero, it looks like a lot of FUN will be had by both sides. Although, what's the deal with the militia-stealing exploit? Seems like dirty pool to a newcomer's eyes, but maybe that's just how this game is played.
