Matrix Games Forums

It has been 6 weeks throw us a bone?

zakblood throws CSS a large bone[:D]

CSS, there are slightly more signs of life at the slitherine forums here but this one seems dead as a dodo at the moment.

From experience with other games the lack of news suggests it's a long way off appearing, if ever. It looks interesting so I hope I'm wrong.

You are wrong. Game is in heavy beta and devs are great in responding to suggestions. I don't think one would recognize it if one compares first version from the last.
Be happy, for we are definitely in for a treat!!!

(Risk+Masters of MAgic lite +Birthright + Panzer).

Good to know. And as always I'd rather it was right than delivered fast anyway [:)]

Really looking forward to this one. Any info on a possible release date?

2015 is all I know....I have no idea, but I think within first quarter...it could be...but it always depends on tactical planning on which time....avoid steam sales and whatever...

Still no updates? Any idea when we might hear something new?

Your wait will soon have an end. Then you can gather your Elven armies...

Some screenshots showing the latest version would be nice.

Soon is a relative term. Any more precise expected time frame that can be given? Years,months,weeks,or even days maybe? I have to plan to save the allowance my wife gives me.... Thanks.

Months, Q2.

Today we are excited to announce that Sovereignty will enter Steam Early Access on April the 9th!

Slitherine, Gothic Labs and The Lordz Games Studio really see Early Access as a unique opportunity to gather relevant feedback on all parts of the game and enhance it accordingly. This epic fantasy strategy game is a rather ambitious project and we thought that the community would be the best source of inspiration to take the game where it deserves to be.

Sovereignty has been in development for 3 years now, so the content provided is already very rich and players can have acomplete play through with all of the realms and campaigns available!

We are going to sell the game on our site as well:

- If you buy from our site you are buying a steam key for early access on steam.
- When the game will be released we will supply you a standard DRM free installer.
- Your steam key will be the license key for the installer when it is released.

To better show all the features of the game we will stream it tomorrow 1[sup]st[/sup] April (no joke!) on our official Twitch Channel at 20 CEST/2pm EDT!

Enter Early Access here!

I think the price is way too high for the steam audience.

where do u see the price?

You have to expand the early access box, it is $24.99 for early access and more at release, but it doesn't say how much.

Seems pretty reasonable to me, if the game is good and I am optimistic it will be.

i see it now, thx. I'll need to see more gameplay, i'll catch the twitch after the fact and look for some youtube early impressions. I would like to hear more about where's it at and what they hope to add to it. Haven't had a chance to get deep into the info yet but the price doesn't seem
unreasonable, but defiantly need to know more.

Can you explain exactly what steps I would need to take in order to purchase through Matrix and get early access installed through Steam and then switch to a non-Steam DRM free version when final release comes out?

I'm sure this is probably a dumb question but I've never installed a game purchased outside of Steam through Steam before so I'm unaware of the steps to do it. I do have Steam and I've bought games through it before but I generally like to avoid doing so if a game is available through a different channel. Matrix will always be my first choice for purchasing if it's available.

Also, going this route would that mean that when the release version comes out, I would uninstall the Steam version through Steam and then have to reinstall the DRM version that I downloaded through Matrix?

Sorry...just a bit confused by this.

no price on steam...connecting from italy

You will only start seeing the buy and price buttons on Steam next week on the 9th of April when the game is released into Early Access, but the starting price was already hinted and revealed in the Steam game page texts:

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Sovereignty is truly massive, but we are definitely looking at encouraging players to jump into the program to help us finish it. So we are looking at a $ 24.99 price point for this version and looking at increasing it at release.”
