Is that 3x3 monsters or just the one stand?
I assume it's just one? But then the '3 Monsters' is a bit misleading ...

Need some Gorgons and Perseus now.

I whole heartedly agree, but for some reason I see this coming via an expansion.

Perhaps with a KRAKEN in homage to the old Clash of the Titans movie to release?

This definitely has my attention as it (try to follow this logic), looks to say 40k-ish sized war-gaming, what Arcane Legions was to Warhammer Fantasy.

At a glance, it condenses the experience down to a stripped down, non-measuring, just get in and get out, kind of war-gaming, which I feel like I could actually justify putting on the table when no one wants to commit four hours to a full sized war-game.

So what is "all in" for game-play up to? I'm in for $99 right now, but it looks like things providing gameplay content require another... oh $160 or so?

Good questions to ask in the comments, or you can ask the creator.

AFAIK, There's no kraken, because it's Norse. The Poseiden expansion has a hot monster girl babe with severe tentacles.

Not sure what the all-in total will be. Some demand for an "all in" pledge.

EDIT: RPG update : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806316071/mythic-battles-pantheon/posts/1741957

EDIT: RPG will come with PDF!

The sisters unlocked. Guy with lyre next.

So, a great source for info is BoardGameGeek, as Benoit, the designer posts CONSTANTLY.

From comments there, it sounds like a Kraken could happen, but in a themed expansion they may, or may not get to. Ditto for Daedelus. Benoit says he actually already has play-tested/balanced stats for tons of units beyond this KS, and he hopes Asmodee/FFG as publisher will keep the line going for years, with competitive play support, and store OP kits.

He also says they do think an "All In" pledge could happen but not until close to the end. They know people want it.

As rumored... I guess the expansions keep coming. Man, I want ALL of this stuff, but we're at the $250 in game-play content add-ons now. :-p

I'm going to help out on the Yokai Quest KS thread, so if someone else could update the SG's, I'd appreciate it!

From the creator Benoit, on BGG when asked if a discounted (further discounted) EVERYTHING pledge is coming...

"We will communicate shortly on this topic. Sorry but I cannot tell too much as of now… I will just say that if we propose such a bundle, it should be a bargain "

https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1675877/everything-bundle

Started the other thread in the boardgame section before the KS went live, bookmarked it, and kept going back to it via the bookmark, so managed to completely miss this thread lol. I'm going as all-in as my wallet can afford on this one.

Gorgon is in, on to Super Archer.

People are starting to grumble about the comment of "Saving the best for last" when there are comments that many things seem to be missing still.

Onward and Upward!

Personally, my concern is that even after the typical year plus wait for the KS to deliver how long will the additional wait be until the expansions hit retail, and when they do will they include other versions of the seemingly random KSE that are in some of them. I cannot spend the money to get everything at once, even with the inevitable delay in the release of the pledge manager. I may end up just sticking with the core box plus the few completely KSE sets.

I'm just going tor the crossover, myself.

The villagers could look more defenseless for my RPGs -- that sack and those water buckets can do 1d6 at least.

Looks cool.

Who doesn't love a winged ape?

So what in the crossover is exclusive exactly? The ape? That's on the cover of the box?

I do like the useless villages. Could get a lot of mileage out of them.

Curious as to what people are grumbling about being the best that's being saved for last. More Titans? More of the Olympians? Hecatonchires or some other weird creatures from the beginning? Argos and his hundred eyes?

The Winged Ape is the "exclusive" mini but it mostly relates to Conan. Although they did say something in passing about it in Greek Mythos, which I have yet to find proof.

This Expansion is mostly to shut up the Conan backers that wanted crossover stuff from here to there. Which is understandable at some point. I bought Conan retail, so this will give me more stuff to use there, and maps, which is cool.

Most of the grumbling is about other Gods, Monsters, and Units. Things like the Myrmidons, lesser known Gods, more Titans, etc.



[Edit] Also this from the comments:

All-in bundles. If you can wait till tomorrow, I think this is when they'll go live. You won't need to change your pledge. EBs are covered.
Voice of Olympus

Well they want to pass him as herald of typhoon, same as they think of using kraken as Kitos.

Not that interested in this expansion, especially the villagers look completely out of place.

Reading more in the current comments section....

There's a long list of items that have been hinted at or art seen in videos, RPG book, background photos, etc..

That's where the grumbling is coming from. Seeing art and assuming those will come at some point.

Like: Dionysus, Cirrce. Nemesis, Furies, The Fates, Daedalus, Aeneas, Typhon, Chimera, Persephone, Echidna, Charon, Dragon of Colchis, the Phoenix, and the Gryphon.

Charon would be nice, if they made him as he is supposed to be a strong bearded guy dressed in red clothing with a nice oar in his hand... and not some stupid skeleton in a cloak.

Yeah, i'm all-in on game-play content... but this Conan Crossover feels like an easy skip. It, frankly, seems like the Mythic Battles value is tenuous, and something they just did to help that box warrant shelf-space someday at retail?

I like the prospect of MB becoming a seriously competitive game, so I am inclined the get everything... but yeah... this one falls really flat for me.

The villagers look like they can do 1d6 damage each, but I'll take what I can get. (: I have *plenty* of guys with swords (hi, CMON!) and some villagers from Reaper's Bones KS (Bones IV next year!), but can always use some unarmed villager fodder for goblin raids.

EDIT: For dungeon delving, you can use the men as henchmen torch bearers, and the boys to carry those big sacks of copper. Child labor laws? What child labor laws?

All in pledge is up with a nice, deeper discount! $300 for all-things gameplay through the END of the campaign!

to be honest its 399 with a useless rpg book and some unnecessary dice if you want an all things.

No... they specifically added TWO new bundles. $300 is for anything gameplay related... And yes there is a $400 for everything PERIOD... but I can't see it being a big seller. :-p

well lets see, terrain set is game-play related, ketos is gameplay related (especially since the Corinthia is included in the gameplay bundle too) and stat clips are definitely gameplay related. remains to be seen what the two extra black things not revealed to the 399 bundle are gameplay related or not. but as is its 52$ extra of game related stuff the all in gameplay bundle does not have so for 48$ more you get the extra stuff plus the gameplay related things.

I went for the big one as it includes the terrain set and extra clips for the stretch goal heros, gods and monsters. At that point I may as well get all the rest of it for not much more than the $300 + terrain + clips.

I wish I had enough money to get all of it.

For any further stretch goals, I'd really like to see them add a few more troop choices. No more heroes. With the expansions added, there already is a crazy lot of them. And definitely another Titan. Atlas is feeling very lonely right now.

Just remember, it's the $99 God Pledge PLUS the $300 or $400 for the All In Packages.

Yes, a lot of people are having trouble comprehending that it seems

They really should KISS and just set up two new pledge levels inclusive of the two new bundling options. The way it's set up is already messy and a lot of people aren't going to figure it out...

The reason it's an add-on and not a pledge level is the Early Birds. Doing it this way means you add it to the pledge you already have, rather than being faced with giving up an EB if you have one.

Ketos is excluded from the Titan bundle because Conan backers already have it, so aren't being forced to buy it again at this level. The alternative would be to include it, charge a little more for the bundle, and annoy everyone who backed Conan that wants a Titan pledge. It's in the Typhon bundle because that is intended to be one of everything no matter what it is. Titan is just intended to get you the units, so this avoids duplication for Conan backers and leaves the option open for non-Conan backers.

You don't lose any gameplay content by not having the clips or terrain pack. Take any one add-on out of the Titan pack and you are missing actual game play content. Not even Thaug is needed as Scylla or Charybdis can officially be used as Ketos. This is not the case withthe clips or terrain pack. You don't need the clips to play, you get enough already. These are extra clips if (like me) you're too lazy to switch them around, or want colour co-ordination. The terrain pack upgrades some elements but it isn't giving you anything you don't already have and which you can't access all the gamplay content without. It might be nice to have plastic trees instead of card, or have a choice of omphloi colours, but you lose no gameplay without them.

Wait, really? Because by my calculation the $300 add-on is currently worth $260 or so. I'm guessing they are factoring in they will add another $100 of stuff in there?
