Immortal Fire Beta test has started

[CraigStevenson]

Hmmm, classical greek armies and Alexandrian successor armies but no Philip/Alexander period Macedonian armies or their many of their direct enemies. There are definitely some nice armies included but that is a bit disappointing as that means another purchase to get those armies. I must admit I am feeling a bit gyped over that.

The Alexandrian Macedonian list covers the armies of Phillip and Alexander up to the point where he disbanded most of the Greek allied forces after Gaugamela.

The armies follow the same books as the tabletop. All armies are grouped with their opponents when pssible but you always have to draw the line somewhere.

I have had another look and I cannot find Alexandrian Macedonian or the Persian armies that faced him in the Immortal Fire beta. My understanding that in the TT set these armies are included in Immortal Fire.

My questions in cascading order are:

1. Have I missed the armies of Alexander and his opponents in Immortal Fire beta?
2. If they are not there are they planned to be included with Immortal Fire when or soon after it is released?
3. If the answer to 1 and 2 is no then when can we expect to see these Armies and in which Army list will they be included?

They do not get any bigger than Alexander the Great in the ancient era and I imagine many people are keen to play this period. Hence my interest to see when we can expect to have access to these armies. Hopefully they are included in Immortal Fire as it fits with the other armies included (ie it includes pre and post Alexandrian period armies in the right region).

They are all there

Did you update to the latest version?

[deadtorius]

Alexander is under the Macedonian army and there are several, I think 6 Persian lists. One is listed as being with Darius that would be what you are looking for, its about 3/4 way down under Achmenid Persian (Darius). I think thats how it is listed. I am currently facing off against a Persian army with Alexanders list, FOW has meant the sneaky devils have screened their forces who I am just now noticing off to my right

So how's the beta testing going? Is Immortal Fire going to meet it's release date?

[deadtorius]

Its been fun so far with few problems on my end. Lots of shooty Persians out there so grab your big shields to deflect those arrows

[IainMcNeil]

It's all done but we have an issue with the updater that is holding us up. Once that is done it will be ready to go. Hopefully it will be out today.

Cool, sounds like I have an earlier beta version and hence do not have some of the Armies. That is a relief.
