Thanks for the feedback.

Matt, where do you stand? Are Pterodactls, Kraken, Flying Saucers and the like more trouble than they’re worth?

There are two considerations that I’m keeping in mind for this playtest: fun vs. complexity. We know that the Kaiju are complex, because they require steady upkeep in terms of book-keeping. We don’t really know if they’re fun, and here’s the part that we might need to playtest, because we haven’t seen them interact with anyone’s units or strategies yet.

Maybe to make them fun, and less punishing, we could introduce some sort of reward or ‘bounty’ to the player that takes them down… That way, they’d be seen not only as threats, but also as opportunities. Thoughts?

that would make it more interesting…would prob find some naval battles that fighting to kill the ‘best’.  Would have to be a significant reward oh.

I would say that for a Level III Kaiju would be worth some sort of permanent national upgrade, randomly generated.

Does that sweeten the deal?

New nations form out of the scattered tribes of humanity!

Pro-Axis = 1
Pro-Allies = 2

Okay Carl, please use the R8 filesave above for your turn.

Development is one-time only:

Mexico and Paulau Island are new pro-Axis neutrals.

Western Australia, Rio de Oro, and Gilbert Islands are new pro-Allied neutrals.

Attack or annex as appropriate to your faction!

Oh, and the bounty offer is now official: the nation that kills the PTERO monster gets a nice fat permanent national buff!!
