I like the Deep Troll too, Platuan4th! But I was talking about the revised list where they were showing 2 trolls in the base goal (i.e, should the second be fire or air)

**Alfndrate**

I'm personally a fan of the fire troll, but I won't say no to either troll..

Yeah, I know, just messing witcha.

I'm good with either, honestly.

**Cyporiean**

So if we were to go through with this change, here is what would be available in the manager:

Spoiler:

Still giving the poll a more few hours before we decide.

**Cyporiean**

And the Update everyone was waiting for...

Good Morning!

After a night of poll watching, internal discussion, math crunching, budget changing, and calling in of favors... we have reached a decision.

Changes to the Base Goal

So we're going to take Yulea and Ahm out of the base goal and move them to stretch goals. We're also bringing the Rhapsodist [M], Berserker [M], Fire Troll, and Zebolg down into the base goal.

Further More, the stretch goals are changed to this:

If Ahm or Yulea were your primary reason for backing please send us a PM, and we'll make sure that if they don't fund through stretch goals, we'll get them to you at the same price as if you had picked them up in this Kickstarter.

Until Next Time...

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let us know! If there is something you'd like to see us cover in an update, we'd be happy to include it. Post a comment, send a message, or write an e-mail and we'll get back to you ASAP.

So here is the updated chart of whats available, I'll ask Kenny to update the Pledge Calculator shortly.

Spoiler:

**Platuan4th**

You guys are all sorts of awesome and I'm gonna shuffle around some pre-orders to up my pledge.

**Catyrpelius**

I'm gunna have to figure out what I've got from your first EFT kickstarter then go from there.

Plus Goblin art!

You went Cleric last time, so you got:
Dragoon [M], Sorcerer, Summoner, Rhapsodist [F], Archer, Earth Troll, Gunsmith [Dwarf], Beastmen Laborer, Knight, Adept x2, Squire x2, Dark Priest, Miasma Thrall x2, Risen Warrior x2, Thief, Chemist, Pugilist, Gunsmith [M], Bandit, Cleric, Gel Warrior x2, Gel Wizard x2.

**prplehippo**

I love those Trolls, must have them. The Mandragora is kinda cute too.

Cross my fingers that this Kickstarter will succeed.

**RiTides**

That's exactly where I'm at, purple hippo (where is the "u"?). Unfortunately, I have spent way too much money on Kickstarter the last few months and am already committed to two this month... so freeing up funds doesn't look good.

**Cyporiean**

We're still very confident that it will fund, and that Catyr will get some Gels and RiTides will get an Air Troll.

Noah just sent us the Acoylte concept art, so here is what EFT's Orcs look like:

**RiTides**

Edit: Whoops, image shows up fine now!

**Cyporiean**

We're now at 94%!

About $700 left to go!

**whalemusic360**

Woah, looks like two of the rhapsodist both popped tonight. Grats Cyp, I can't see it not funding at this point.

One got snagged on the 7th, the other was taken tonight. Still 2 more and 'Hero' left.

**greenskin lynn**

glad to see its going well
i'm a bit burnt out on kickstarter and have my hobby funds tied up in other things at the moment, but once these start hitting retail i expect i'll snag quite a few to go with my collection from the first kickstarter

**Alfndrate**

Glad to see this is so close, even if you're not going to pledge, don't forget that your friends might be interested in EFT, and if they back, they don't have to borrow your models

**Cyporiean**

So you guys like Trolls, right?

**RiTides**

Nice! Have you fixed the casting issues with that one / is it for sale now, or is that just a one-off? I was happy to get a "miscast" of it from Alfndrate but it'd be great to see it up for general sale

That is the second earth troll sculpt, for those who hadn't seen it before. Cool paint job, too!

Yep, we were able to get him to cast consistently, to the point that there are none in our 'Box of Fail'. We'll have a few at CMON Expo next week, and included in the Pledge Manager.

New Update:

Ora Ora!!
Hey folks!

Heath is pretty busy working on another project at the moment, but he took some time today to rough out the concept artwork for the Gel Party stretch goal.

Gel Wastrel, Gel Worshiper, & Gel Waylayer

The Wastrel is a Pugilist, the Worshiper is a Acolyte/Cleric, and the Waylayer is a Bandit/Archer.

Example Gel Party

Continuing from earlier, here is an example Gel based party.

**Platuan4th**

GEL PARTAY!

**Galen**

New Gels! I wasn't sold on them until I saw the gels in person. Now I can't get enough. The worshiper is my favorite of the new gel concepts, and I need to pick up more Gel Wizards too.

**Cyporiean**

We're glad you guys are enjoying the new Gels.

**Chemical Cutthroat**

...now all I can think about is getting Samurai Orcs.

...this is a thing that I did not realize I needed until now.

**Rolt**

The Gels look fun, but why doesn't the Wastrel have a gold chain hanging on his coat?

**Cyporiean**

Chains are a pain to draw, sculpt, and cast.

It shouldn't be hard too find a bit of jeweler's chain and add that on after you get the model.

**Cyporiean**

Yesterday's Update:

Pledge Calculator Updated

Kenny has updated the Pledge Calculator. I'm sure that we've overlooked something, so if you see something missing let me know!

Currently there are 50 Fals worth of items available, 47 Fals of which are minis. So if you are looking to get as much Endless as you can, General is the place to be.

If you are rejoining us from the previous campaign and/or already have some Endless models, you might want to consider Commander. Currently there are 24 Fals of items that were not part of EFT1 (19 of which are from the base goal, 5 interim releases)

More Gameplay Previews
A backer asked for us to preview the Berserker and Acolyte cards; The later is not yet finished yet but here is the Berserker:

The Berserker, a 2C model may choose any 4 commands before entering battle.

**miskatonicalum**

New Update on the KS:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/otlgames/the-miasma-war-endless-fantasy-tactics/posts/847851

Less than $200 to go to our goal!

**Alfndrate**

I lurve me some beserker action

Can't wait to see a sculpt of that bad boy

**Cyporiean**

GOAL REACHED!

We've hit the base goal!

Bonus Unlock!

Chain, The Heroine of Time

To go along with this plug, and for reaching the base goal, we've got a secret character unlocked. In Endless' storyline, the character named Chain has died and been reborn thousands of times over the centuries. This version of Chain is from just before The Crystal Fall, 212 years before the current events in The Miasma War.
