Release!


Hey ya'll, thanks very much for checking out Maleghast! There'll be a little break while I chill from finishing this game (most of the art and layout work was done in the last 10 days or so). Just making a quick post here to say there's a few known typos and I'll go back and fix them plus make a few balance changes probably at some point in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, enjoy!

-Tom

Got a rules question. How does infect work? It jumps twice if targets are in range, but does that require a new attack roll?

Typo: The igorri unit Strigoi is described as a Deadsouls Hunter instead of an Igorri Hunter. 

Typo: The Goregrinders Tyrant has the trait Formation, which is supposed to be unique for Carcass units, is that intentional?

Typo: Abhorer stances that have special round effects are written as (Round 5+), except in the SOUL upgrades section, in which are written as (R5+).

Typo: Some of the minion upgrades have end punctuation, some of them dont. It's not really that important, though.

I think I saw some others while reading through the rules but I don't remember all of them right now. Loving the game so far btw, might even make a board and some props to play physically.

(+1)
  • The Igorri and Gargamox Thralls do not have the “Thrall” trait. Is that a misprint (i.e. should we follow the normal rules for thralls of 2 units/activations per etc?)

  • If a 2x2 unit is partially on elevation. Does it count as being on elevation or not?

Typo: the description for Old Maggie says "the opposing necromancy" instead of "necromancer."

Suggestion: it would be helpful if the glossary included the types of armor, since some unit profiles refer to gaining "super armor" without explanation.

Loving the game, I was really looking for something simple to get friends into skirmish games and this might be perfect.

Some feedback, if  it's helpful:

Typos

Page 16: in the description of the cover image, point 3 ends with "She can only see Skeletons A and B." I think, if I understand correctly, that is meant to be A and C.

Formatting

Page 11: Victory Conditions - The last letter of "scenario" is not bolded. 

Page 20: SOUL actions - The SOUL Harvest heading has a lower-case l in SOUL

Page 21: Pick Units - The last sentence has an extra space and full-stop at the end.

I also have two questions on parts that I was uncertain of:

Page 14: Armor Type - "A unit can only benefit from armor once" Is that once per game or once each time it takes damage?

Page 20: SOUL actions - SOUL Harvest says "You only get this benefit the first time a unit is slain in combat". Likewise, is that once per game or once per unit?

(1 edit)

re: SOUL Harvest: I think it's supposed to be once per unit, because the description for thralls says that "Since you get two units per slot with thralls, they are good for body blocking and for generating SOUL", which implies that you get two SOUL per unit slot spent on thralls.
