The new Hunted Cow site is online, Legacy is currently there but hidden. Current plan is to finish the new tutorial this week-end, prep a few other bits and add Legacy to the game list on Monday. We'll also then begin sending out emails to the massive Hunted Cow mailing list about our game.

We have a nice new icon for our game ready to go...



I have no idea how much attention it will attract but I'll be posting about it on forums and such so we'll see. The new Hunted Cow portal can be found at:

We aren't merging game accounts in to Hunted Cow accounts yet, but when we do don't worry you'll retain your name and everything else you have here.

In the interest of keeping people informed as to what is currently going on, here is what is currently going on! I've been working endless hours finishing the new Hunted Cow website and it should launch this week. It will work much like the Battle.net in that you'll have one Hunted Cow account that you can use to login to all our games.

During the merge the outer game will gain a bar at the top and you'll be given the option of turning your account in to a Hunted Cow account. This merge will not be for a few weeks though as Fallen Sword will be merging at the same time. Why is this a good thing? Well...

The issue with announcing Legacy to Hunted Cows community is that it's a 'Hail Mary Pass' and if it fails Legacy will be relegated to the back burner in terms of any work being done on it ever again. It needs to go well, and if we can link accounts across games we can do things like... give players in Fallen Sword rewards for getting a Legacy character to level 10 as well as making their signup infinitely easier. Along with emails and some advertising that should give it a much better chance.

I appreciate the communities patience, this new site is 30,000+ lines of code and was almost completely designed by myself so I've been quite busy and I haven't forgotten about you guys.

Finally managed to recover the gang scores from the hard-drive I just nearly destroyed with encryption software. Results are posted below.

Warfare: April - June 2012
1: Outcasts - 1,945,840 points
2: Dark Flame - 1,127,750 points
3: Blade of Dawn - 1,074,330 points
4: Chapter - 757,290 points

No sign of the Gang HQs yet, weird. Oh well!

Travelling in to the void was dangerous and many were lost. You arrive on a new desolate wasteland, one that makes your old home seem far less desolate. The gang HQs have yet to arrive, who knows if they will arrive at all. But the battle must begin without them.

The gang HQ units have been removed for this section of warfare, they may be added later if this game mode proves uneventful. Squares must be captured outward from the neutral landing zone.
