I like this a lot more than a regular tactical design and its lighter on assets.

I feel like creating a god who has a dark souls effect on the world

Everything becomes awful forever? Sounds appropriate.

yep. but purposefully allow one hero to be awesome to see if he can defeat the world.

Only one?  You need many heroes... so that they can fall... until one finally makes it, the chosen one.  (Actually there is a chosen one mechanic isn't there?)

Basing a god on the Old One seems like it would fit the game better.

I dunno. Lately I've become disenchanted with tactical combat. No one seems to do it very well these days. Every tactical battle space that takes place on a grid I've played in the last few years almost doesn't feel worth the effort.

I've had that same feeling which definitely played into the design of That Which Sleeps - without SIGNIFICANT focus on making sure Tactical Combat is incredible I think it impedes the flow of a grand strategy game.  We had numerous discussions on whether or not to add even a simplified grid to Agent/Hero combat not to mention Military Battles and we just felt that keeping these elements to quickly played but critically important segments that reward long-term planning was the better approach (and could be made as complex and varied as we liked given the minimal implementation needs).

It was a good decision. This isn't a wargame afterall.

Blasphemy!

Hngh.

I don't suppose there are any guesses as to when the full release will be out?  As I recall, I bought into the non-beta tier, and not knowing how long I've gotta wait makes the wait wwway harder.

[Xantalos]

I'm making a guess based on nothing on about Halloween because it'd be appropriate and because time for beta testing.

[Xgamer4]

The most recent estimate k saw was June, though the game will be held until the beta testers agree that it's in good shape. So I'd probably place my bets mid July or so.

[Farce]

That's not so bad.  Cool.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I'm betting on christmas/2016 release myself.

Hype aversion partially successful! Though the KS update once again filled me with anticipation.

[ChairmanPoo]

I kickstarted this and am very hopeful.... but for the life of me I still cannot fathom what kind of game itis exactly.  I'd be happier if the devs came outand said, itwill be kimd of like dominions/Solium infernum/xcom/whatnot
