Questions

Good to know

When do I get my Founder rewards?

In-app Founder cosmetics arrive at or after public release, unlocked with a one-time code we send after the campaign. Digital rewards like the Chronicle, battle maps and Council access are delivered by download or invite.

Is any of this pay-to-win?

No. Every Founder reward is a cosmetic, a collectible or recognition. There is no gameplay advantage for sale, everyone plays the same content.

What happens when the campaign ends?

The Founder window closes. Founder cosmetics are exclusive and are never sold in the app afterwards.

Can I change my tier?

Yes. On Kickstarter you can adjust your pledge any time until the campaign closes.

Which platforms is it on?

Android today, currently in closed testing on Google Play. iOS is planned.
