Hi Mashed,
thanks for the support and welcome to the forums!
I’ll answer your questions one by one:
1) Helmets and body armor get destroyed during a tactical battle just like shields. Once your armor points are gone, they’re gone.
After the battle is finished all equipment will be repaired and restored to normal conditions so they can be used again in the next combat.
Maybe there will be some cost to repairs, but maybe not. We try to avoid tideous micro-management as much as possible.
2) There definitely will be flying enemies :) We got it all planned out already :)
3) There’ll definitely be big enemies. Allthough we are a bit limited by the size of the hex fields, but we’ll find a way to make it work.
4) They can be destroyed and will be destroyed permanently.
5) I actually don’t think there will be a “guide” person like that. We’ll just throw you into the world and then you decide what to do :)
6) You lose the game if all your soldiers get killed or if all the villages/towns get destroyed.
If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Cheers!
