Ein paar der Fragen wurden in Update 77 beantwortet:
Deluxe Contents
We haven’t provided and exhaustive list of the deluxe box contents, as the components’ list in the rulebook is based on the retail edition of the game. Some editorial tweakings have also been done since the campaign was ran by the lumberjacks. Here is what you can expect in the box, and that differs from the retail version :
Core Game
SAGS : 2 booklets (FR/EN) including the campaign mode and solo missions, 4 sheets for scenario generation, and 10 golden round tokens for building your scenario.
Double Layered tracks for core game.
Double Layered track for Arboria. It’s in there so pledgers of the Collector edition will still get a double layer track even if they buy the retail version later.
Metallic dice (AND regular wooden dice).
Core blackboard and hot stamp credit tokens (already punched out).
18 punched out buildings and 40 more still on punchboard.
A few tiles also punched out.
The scientists and motorized scientists are all different. We know it is very subtle for the scientists on foot, but we wanted to honor the campaign's promise even if we couldn’t produce widely different models. This has been upgraded for all pledges (including retail).
The resources got upgraded shapes (instead of being cubes). This has been upgraded for all pledges (including retail).
The cards are blackcore. This has been upgraded for all pledges (including retail).
Industria
This is where you’ll find the score pad
The 4 map tiles, 4 technical units, 4 spatioports and 3 Recycling stations have been integrated to the expansion.
The player’s box (with the four characters on it) is meant to be empty, so you can store every player’s components for a quick set up.
Arboria and Aquarius are either empty (if you pledged the Collector version) or full of content, listed in the rulebook. There is also a track for wood in the Arboria expansion (you might have it twice then, but this was done for production reasons).
We did not produce the 24 turns track, as Chris’ idea didn’t work out in the end ; instead, he came up with the SAGS amazing idea, a much better deal
Why are some components punched out ? We had to, in order to make everything fit in the original box, and replace some components for their Deluxe version.
Besides fulfillment informations, in the next update we’ll provide a picture to show you how we store out the components inside the box. In the meantime, we wish you all happy holidays, talk to you next year !
