Next batch of in-game screenshots are ready: the Purchase Screen.

You're probably familiar with the style of the UI. Click on a class (Infantry, Cavalry, etc) on the left. That brings up a selection of units available in that class. You can also compare stats of your selected unit to another in the same class.

This batch highlights four of the realms in Sovereignty:

1) Sonneneve: Realm of the high elves, showing Infantry
2) Myrmont: A powerful civilized rival of Ariselle, showing Cavalry
3) Maledor: Zealots of the Cult of the Worm, showing Infantry
4) Ariselle: A major civilized sea power, showing Infantry

Good Hunting!

Myrmont...

Maledor...

Ariselle...

Oooh sappers...this is looking really really interesting.

Marines???

Showing botty too.Nice art.

Looks really exciting. Can't wait for release.

Why cant we have a frontal view of the Dryad unit? [:D]

These are really nice btw!

I like the layout of the screens. My only criticism would be the small icons covering the unit art. It just feels awkward having the icons covering many of the faces. As an illustrator who has done a lot of art for card games, nothing is more vexing than having your paintings buried behind icons:)

That being said, this game is looking like a must purchase for me.

True, we better drop them on the bottom of the card instead of on top!

But that would cover up Dryad botty.

You could always run them vertically on the left hand side of the art. That way they would match the icons on the left and right side of the screen....and not cover booty:)

Thanks, Umbra. Player feedback is always read during the dev process, particularly when we hit beta.
Beta will be a crucible of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and relentless polish. We will definitely be looking at and responding to player feedback through that process.

The observation on the Unit icons in the Purchase screen was spot on.

Here's what we're changing as a result of that.


Good Hunting!

That looks much better Breca. I am really looking forward to Sovereignty's release.

Hey Breca,

Just a simple design suggestion. I think extending the thin gold border around the unit name would help tie the whole unit art together.

heaps better with teh text position changed - this game has some great unit art and it would be a shame to see any of it covered it. The art gives the game great appeal to me!

+1 on the Dryads. Any chance you can make the Crow Hag hot also?

How about a frame at the bottom edge of the card, there appears to be plenty of space on screen to add a small frame to each card just under the unit name.
