As much as I would love a Runewars expansion I am more excited about the one for Twilight Imperium, and I'm glad they put their time and effort into that. Now, if we were to also get an expansion for this game that would be icing on the cake.

I use the special developments often. The others I usually build, but then end up not using (or using only once).

I second the suggestion for the epic rules. They make the game far more interesting.

Are you certain that Jaes is even shooting his enemies? I got the impression that he summoned a lightning storm or something along those lines, which would clearly ignore terrain. Or maybe he summons a flying invisible stalker or something.

In another thread sigmazero13 said that he was trying to add spells as a house rule. I think that would make for an awesome expansion. A few racial spells, a few scrolls you could find as quest item, maybe a few you could gain from the Wizards council. It would be fun having a few powerful abilities that you had to choose between. Oracle (look at season card), Eruption (target mountain is really a volcano!), Blizzard (cross a lake, even in summer), camouflage (Elf only, better defense in forests), etc... And for those of you who want heroes to do more, you could make them the source of the spell effect (the mountain next to the hero explodes. Wisdom test to see how big the explosion is). Potential Casting Mechanics spells take wood/iron/food new, fourth resource added (mana) spells require you to sacrifice units (evil only?) you get one mana token each year that you can apply to one face down spell. Flip it over and cast it when you meet the cost. Or maybe each spell can have a lesser and greater version with different costs. Although it might be a good idea to call them rituals instead of spells. you can cast one spell per year, but your hero must be on a font of power

Wouldn't that just help the winner? The guy who is ahead can cast more spells, so he starts winning more? But I don't want to come across as too critical; I think the idea of spells could be awesome, and I hope they add it in the next expansion. Maybe a few racial ones, plus a few "Books/Scrolls of Magic" that you could find as quest loot. You could even tie a few to terrain, like volcanic explosions than can only happen if your hero is near a mountain, etc...
