Can I have your stuff?

EDIT: Sorry, couldn't help myself. As for a serious reply, you were never promised any specific biome or tribe. You haven't invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin with. If you had, maybe, just maybe you might have a point.

This game doesn't exist yet. They are building it right now. Things have changed and will change. This will not be the last thing they change, because they think the game will be better for it. Let them do their job.

To be brutally honest if you were really invested in the Owem for example with no information and a high likelihood of them not even appearing in the old way that SbS planned to have the tribes laid out then the onus is on you. But then to bitch about this move is irresponsible and threatening to call-back the money given is stupid.

NPCs will still develop the tribes not on the continent.

All tribes, communities, and Kingdoms are pre-existing before we even get into Expo and are established enough ti sustain themselves and branch out if needed, /thread

Personally I would just eliminate the concept of a starting continent. I know this would reduce the initial conflict level between players anyway, however later discovery of new continents which have been cultivated by players I think would make much more interesting conflict/stories later on.

Unless the non starter continents are being gated for story purposes which I do not get the impression that is the case. I say let people chose the tribes as they may and let that determine which continent they land on and develop.

It is part of the story to go-to other continents.

I have some issue in the way the OP comment was phrased. But, I somewhat agree, I would at LEAST want 6-7 of the tribes that way it would be more dynamic.

8 tribes are guaranteed at launch.

I want my Desert people!

Guess you have to wait!

This game is in developement, which means, changes are going to be there continuously.I'm sorry but I honestly think you can't ask for a refund when you're backing a game that's not finished yet.

When you write an story, don't you make changes until it's finished? This is exactly the same. When we decided to back this game, at the same time, we assumed some risks. Also, it's not too bad, we'll be able to discover amazing things in-game!

I'm sure those communities will manage to have fun with another tribes, the ones we currently have are also cool. :) ^^

What I suggested a while ago. Just have 2 continents filled with the tribes / players. It's even better since there's no initial sea travel. More story, alliances, feuds, etc happening that your character wouldn't even know about.

Plus imagine seeing the continent A players sailing and landing on continent B and continent B hasn't even researched seafaring vessels yet. Better hope they came in peace.

This isn't the point. The point is that there are now many of us who planned to exist in said already established kingdom and had put in months of work to build alliances and communities and were basically told "lol nope" today. Its easy to take it rather lightly when it wasn't your community that's very basic idea was just snatched away for exactly no reason whatsoever.

Who cares if its a harsher environment that makes survival harder. That's the point of strong communities and alliances as well as the basic function of the Tribal bonuses to make it hospitable.

Its just very disheartening to have the rug snatched out from underneath your community and be told that the only options are now standard western fantasy fare that are found literally everywhere else.

We will adjust and continue, but trust me it sucks big time.

you can't get a refund, but I'll buy your ep at a substantially discounted rate so that it's not a complete loss.

I will agree, though, that Caspian was well aware of the communities and planning that was going on from the instant it started, being as it was all shared and discussed within irc waaaay back before discord or kickstarter.

Are people kinda getting screwed? yes and no. There was no guarantee short of your king having first pick that you would get the biome you wanted anyhow - but the fact that some will not be there at all certainly takes that from not guaranteed to not possible.

Any kingdom that revolved there existence over one tribe is bound to have disappointments.
