Apologies for Ignorance but would appreciate ENLIGHTENMENT


HOW EXACTLY DOES TURN BASE BTECH WORK?


I only played MW2 and beyond. So I am familiar with the RTS of MechCommander / Dune 2 / C&C. I am also only familiar with the turn-based mechanics of Civilisation.

But how does turn base BTECH work? Exactly Like TT? What are the differences other than animation?

Thanks in advance.

Probably closer to xcom or xcom apocalypse.

Sorry, your question makes no sense to me... turn based BattleTech IS tabletop.

Thought I'd share a response I got from HBS. My questions were about the status of microtransactions, which NGNG brought up in their Q&A with Jordan, and about the possibility of getting miniatures out of this.

BATTLETECH will be a premium title with a retail price of up to $40, depending on the number of Funding Stages our backers unlock during this Kickstarter.

We don't have any plans at this point to produce physical miniatures but it makes us sad.

Thanks for asking!

The game will also be made available in German, French, and Russian (with localized text, and audio subtitles) in a post-launch update.

so, those are the countries with the strongest bt communities (excluding anglosphere)

It's at 720k in one day. It will slow down, but I can see it making it to the 2.5mil multiplayer.

BATTLETECH FOREVERRRRR!!!!!

It'll probably spike again on Friday as it's payday for a good many people, as well as probably have a big surge near the end as the final days draw in.

I wasn't sure where I would wear a pilot jacket with a giant metal skull on the back and an armored fist on the front, but after careful consideration, I wasn't sure where it wouldn't be appropriate.
Signed for $275

Although after doing so, I thought that maybe I should start a kickstarter to get money for the Battletech kickstarter, the rewards being pictures of me wearing the Battletech kickstarter swag and a discount on my memoirs. Of course the Mercenary Captain that I would describe for the in-game Mercenary and Novela would be a ponzi-schemer caught up in the collapse of their machinations with only an ill-trained force of cheapest mechs and pilots available to escape.

Well looks like Battletech will not reach 1mil by the 12 hour mark unless more than 250k comes in over the next hour (not impossible, it made 250k in 54 minutes), but here is to hoping for 1mil or better in 24 hours.

I think they did a pretty fine damn job. Hoping for it though.

Good stuff.

[Sigilum Sanctum]

It will hit 1 million hopefully by next week, at least ensuring the campaign.

I am glad to have the opportunity to support this project from the beginning, as I was not able to with MWO (I joined at the start of open beta).

I know some people who won't pledge until it's past or near certain milestones.

Agreed.

I'm guessing the 1 million mark is a big one. Some people would hate to contribute $35, 50, 135, etc... For a skirmish game. Once a single player campaign is reached, we may see a surge in funding.

Update FAQ:

Paypal.

Yes! We’ll post PayPal totals at the top of our Kickstarter page periodically. The total will also include Vanguard Backers who supported the project at GenCon and PAX Prime.

Note that PayPal Backers will ONLY get a receipt from PayPal. They will not get a second receipt from Harebrained Schemes.

Yep, i'm waiting until stage 3 b/c that's I don't see the point if I can't play it indefinitely

[Clownwarlord]

It will hopefully hit 1 Million before the day is over.
