Is it possible to get the site bread crumbs added to the bottom of the page? It can be inconvinient to scroll up after scrolling all the way down in a thread just to go to another section.

Thanks in advance.:)

I am fully aware that there are inaccuracies. My graphic designer had a computer crash and I'm waiting for it to be repaired to fix this. I assure you that if you buy the game you'll have all of the correct cards for reference.

THE BATTLE RAGES ON

This expansion introduces two exciting new factions to the game. Will you take up arms as the righteous humans of the Vanguards, using protection and healing magic to stand firm upon the battlefield in defense of the downtrodden? Or will you lead the undead hordes of the Fallen Kingdom, making any fiendish sacrifice necessary, as you wield the dark necrotic arts in pursuit of the subjugation of the world?

These two new Faction Decks for Summoner Wars: The Fallen Kingdom and The Vanguards, will become available in June of 2010. You can Pre-Order now, and be the among the first to recieve these new Factions.

Each of these Faction Decks includes everything needed to play a completely new Summoner Wars Faction. Summoner Wars Faction Decks are not a stand alone games. They are intended for use with a Summoner Wars Starter Set.

Another important improvement: it would be rather interesting to see the two new factions put on the site just like the other 4 are. I know the game was received only a few days back, but the main site was pretty helpful for me to enjoy my first walk into the game (like before buying...). Since most cards have been uploaded on BGG with the bio, just putting it here in the Faction section should be a piece of cake (content speaking, not structure).

That'd make the main site rather complete!

While not as handy as the built section for factions on the site, the books are in production for the new units.

Saw them weeks ago, and I am following their development. But not everybody that comes on the site will wish to delve into the community. Thats why the main site must be kept up to date.

Might be interesting to put the previews of Reinforcement on it too, like the units for the factions were.

KCU Master, you asked for help for the books, and I was rather interested to give a hand for Vanguards. Though it might be better if you kept doing it, to keep the same style for everything. If you need a hand, you can PM me.

Not a big deal, but will the reinforcements cards be add to the factions section on the site?

I have them so it is not important for me, but it would be helpful for people that look in to the game with out joining the community.

I was thinking we could start a "Summoner of the week" program.

Do you mean like the 'Scaper of the Week on Heroscapers??

i actually would like to see the faction card lists sorted between summoner, champion, common and event. then alphabeticly. would make it easier to find what your looking for

It appears that the link in the Summoner Wars symbol at the top left is not working. Is this just my computer, or are others having this problem as well? This (http://www.plaidhatgames.com/sum_forums/sum_home.html) pops up. Is this just my computer, or are others having this problem as well?

oh i have, those are great for questions and stuff but not as good for browsing cards for combos and ideas.

the faction card lists are perfect for that. you can just slide the mouse around to see the cards available to a faction. but they would be easier if sorted between summoner, champion, common, event and structure? (eventually i hope lol. walls can be events for now).

I'd be up for a Summoner of the Week thing, I think it's a good idea. I loved the idea over on HSers and it should work here too.

Let me know if you need any help with it, I'll help with what I can.

I'm immune!

You cant be Immune, the link is stuffed up. it trys to take your to a URL of
" http://www.plaidhatgames.com/sum_forums/sum_home.html "
which doesn't exist. What the link is supposed to direct you to is
" http://www.plaidhatgames.com/sum_home.html "

its just a case of the website builder has stuffed up and hasn't checked it for errors properly.

When I click the Summoner Wars Banner at the top of the page, I get a 404 Not Found error message

The requested URL /sum_forums/sum_home.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Summoner of the Week coming soon, like end-of the week soon.

Anyways...

1) I can only view the CK/JE factions in the section from certain computers.'
2) The thief has Rachel Loveguard's bio.

It would be nice if the forums could be more like 'scapers. (i.e. simple, familiar, and easy to navigate)

A few examples: ability to edit thread titles, not having a friends section in User CP (it seems sort of sillly to me if we're all one small community), quotes not being italicized, etc.

Can we get the reinforcements cards uploaded under the factions tab?

Yes, please! The 1st four factions (CG, GD, PE, TO) include their reinforcements, but the 2nd four (CL*, FK, JE, VG) do not. The Factions display is a very valuable feature, allowing us to quickly glance through all the cards. It's much faster than rifling through our decks. (Especially when we don't even have the cards yet! :))

* [Is CL the common 2-letter abbreviation for Cloaks?]

I'm having a hard time viewing this site, so I rarely visit it for the reason below:

The width of this site is too long, IMO. Much longer than the Heroscaper site. To read anything, I must constantly scroll left and right.

If I try to fit it all on one screen, then the font is too small to read at all.

How come this site is not fixed with the same width as the HSers site?

Thanks.

When I click on a particular faction in the Factions menu (such as Cave Goblins), and let my mouse rest on the name of a unit in the first column (such as Berserker), then it will soon display a "Help Hint" which consists of html-like code for the unit's bio (such as "<div class='body'><br>The Berserkers are savage brutes. They are used to having their way, and used to pushing others around.</div>").

It's pretty alarming if you do it over the Summoner's name! There's a lot of text in their paragraphs!

How come the Cloaks and Jungle Elves don't have faction bios like the other 6 factions do? I'd like to see that if you could get that up.

This site has been amazing for my standards. There isn't a gallery section or some other common features, but I could see features like that be added in the future (this site is pretty young). The ability to view all of the cards in each faction is a nice touch.

Anyways, an improvement I think would be great is if we made the word and image limitation on each post be unlimited or a very high limit. It seems it is unlimited on heroscapers. I've noticed big posts have had to be cut into segments in order to post them. I think this would really help out in-depth reads, new previews, and informational threads that have long lists like the Books. Recently the current card preview thread (Master Set) had to cut out the Benders for enough image space for the Deep Dwarves.

Just a helpful improvement. I don't think we desperately need it but if it isn't too much trouble to do, I think it would be very convenient.

The thing I'd most like to see is the ability for the poster of a thread to be able to change the actual title of the thread, rather than just the bit of text that appears above their posts within their thread.

Especially for stuff like the BOOKS, where we have some misspelled Units and Factions here and there, it's a bit off-putting.

Another problem with it is that event organizers can't change the listed date on the title of the thread either.

Not that it really matters, but in the menu at the top, the podcast link doesn't change back to its original colors when you move your mouse off it.

Looking at the HTML, it looks like it was just a typing mistake in the onmouseout event.

If I try to fit it all on one screen, then the font is too small to read at all.I guessing you're on a smartphone, because I have a netbook, and I don't have to scroll at all for this site. I would suggest making a mobile verson of this site rather than making it narrower. For those who have larger screens, the Heroscapers site is smaller than it needs to be. This size is perfect for my computer, and many computers have bigger screens than my computer. A mobile site would make this site better for smartphones than Heroscapers, bacuse last time I checked, Heroscapers didn't have a mobile site.
