I can't wait for the forcemaster although I think the warlord will fit my play style better. I'm sure i will like them both.

I am drooling over the Forcemaster.  The Warlord will be fun... but... gimme the Forcemaster!

Also, pixelgeek is an admin?  When did you get the fancy red name man?  Congrats! :)

It says in the description for this:

2 Custom Spellbooks

Are these different than the additional 2 spellbooks for sale in the store (the white and green one)?

Just curious if anyone know what these new ones look like.

Thanks!

Indeed they are different. Their designs are more fitting of the Forcemaster and the Warlord.

It honestly seems more responsive today, other than a hiccup I had this morning on the forums.  If you are responsible for this, thank you.  If it is some placebo effect, then just take the credit anyways.

As for the Forcemaster v Warlord spellbooks, the covers were up on the Facebook page.  The Forcemaster book looks really awesome!

Congrats, Pixel!

Also, yay expansions!  Though knowing when it will be available doesn't make me as happy as waiting two more weeks makes me sad.  Oh well, birthday is on the 28th, so perhaps I'll get mine for free!

Two new books will be most welcome.

One concern I have is that the arena has already been kind of nebulous. How big are these "temples" my priestess summons? And now were adding "towers" and such to the mix?

But I can deal with it.

Are you referring to scale?

He has a point (though I'd never considered it before).  The arena looks quite small really, and then we build temples and other structures....
But then, it has to be magic as it's impossible to fly out of it too  :)

My interpretation is that the Arena is Colloseum Size - large enough for few big constructions. One Zone is big enough to fit a dozen Hydra-size creatures.

It's smaller on the outside...

The arena was created magically so that any magic used wouldn't affect the outside world.  Why not make it so that individual zones can scale by themselves as needed?
Or these could be really small temples, ones that you can't actually go inside of.
In fact everything could be scaled down inside of the arena, so your foxes are actually ant sized, and Hydras are only dog sized.
