Is this gonna be a permanent thing or is this time-sensitive/limit?

Was advertised as a permanent one. Unless something goes really wrong and it’s removed.

[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Sure hope it stays around, because it’s going to take me a while to afford building up Parabolan Defences to 3…[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Also, since it currently describes the Viscountess as the former-Lord Mayor, I assume that’s future-proofing that was put in too early.[/color]

Did a Silverer side bonus just got gutted?

EDIT: Though they’ll probably get something else as the content piles up… I mean, that’s their playing field, right?

[quote=Huey]Did a Silverer side bonus just got gutted?[/quote]They removed the action cost from moving within parabola, i.e. from one area to another. Not the honey cost for going into parabola.

I must admit I’m rather perplexed as to why the devs have chosen to classify the 77th Queen’s Own Hussars – hussars being, by definition, cavalry – as an artillery unit. Also somewhat confusing is the conflation of artillery with grenadiers, generally understood as a type of infantry. But here we are.

I’d like to think it is for some extremely clever Neathy reason. But I suspect it is merely a little shortfall in knowledge about such things.

They are a reflection of the actual unit, thus - are Parabolan fakes that do not adhere to any rules and authenticity and do not actually know all that you mentioned.

Of quasi-undead dream-ghost soldiers. And generally speaking a lack of research into the setting hasn’t been a major complaint I’d make about the game.

Deuced odd, in any case.
