Warte erst mal auf meinen Kickstarter.
Hoffe aber das Mytic irgendwann die Möglichkeit gibt den ganzen neuen kram im pledgemanager dazu zu packen.
Als Biollante-Fan find ich die Vegetyrants natürlich cool, muss aber auch sagen dass man nur so viele Einheiten in dem Look machen kann. Generell bin ich immer wieder ein bisschen erstaunt wie repetetiv PP bei den Designs ist. Können bei dem Setting machen was sie wollen, aber trotzdem gibt es viele Einheiten und Monster die visuell nur schwer voneinander zu unterscheiden sind.
