To be honest the lodges of the apprentices came pretty late. So, this moving tower concept came from that. Your heroes are kind of your first scouting and active forces, but the tower is your backup. The other thing is you are always getting into trouble and new interesting areas. Where exploration is interesting because it is dangerous and there is new stuff.īy moving the tower, you are preventing a dead zone around that starting area but have to go somewhere else because of that little dead zone you created. The other part of that is we always wanted to have that initial feeling of a 4X game where exploration is interesting. And you always must plop your tower into a new area. We wanted to have a focus for you that was very strong, but it also needed to be mobile, so you only have your little area of influence. Where you go outwards from the centre and everything between you and your border is dead and uninteresting. But then obviously if you only have your tower your area of influence is going to be limited and we didn’t want to paint the map. So, you want to tech into your tower, invest in your tower and that is visible by your tower getting larger. And the circle of mages has their own towers and the question of who has got the biggest. One of the things that was clearly for us from the beginning there as well is we wanted a clear competition, so you are a mage and you are up against the circle of mages. It doesn’t feel very different from being a king or being an emperor or being whatever you are from other games of that type. Because from the get-go that was our vision on the product.Īnd we quickly came to the point where we said if your mage is just another nation with magical abilities like I can take areas, subjugate the natives. J: The core concept for us was we wanted to do something that was like a 4X in some elements but is also an RPG and centres around the mages. Q: How did the team come up with the rather novel idea of the moving castle? And the corollary concept of apprentice lodges? – easytarget
