Dark Age Faction Documents and Updates


A couple days ago there was a series of updates and faqs for Dark Age. There were some wording issues or problems in a few of the errata/ faqs, and already they have fixed and updated the faqs again to correct the problem.

Not only that but Dark Age has released a full listing of Faction Documents. They are very much everything you need to play any of the factions, regarding special faction rules etc. Really in Dark Age, all you need to get is the $20 Apocalypse rulebook to get into the game, everything else is online. In reality there are even quickstart rules online, so I can see someone just getting models to start playing. 


1-30-13: Hey guys, Mr. Black here! As some of you may have noticed, the first upload of the documents we put up had a few issues. Well I personally wanted to apologize to anyone this may have inconvenienced and want you to know I have gone through each and every piece of information here and weeded out any problems. Of course, if you see something that you believe is in error, please post HERE and it will be addressed, as well as feel free to ask about any changes that have been made, if you should have any questions. -Mr. Black


Remember last month when we spoke about updating some items? Well that time has come, dear players! We proudly present to you the 1.1.1 Dark Age Pre-Season Update for 2013!

What does that mean? Well our Immortals Qualifiers, aka the March to Immortality, officially begins in February, with qualifiers running all the way up to the main event (held at Gencon) in August. This is what is known as our Tournament Season. Our promise here at Dark Age is twice a year, once during the Pre-Season (aka just before our Tournament Season begins), and once again during the Post-Season (after the Tournament Season has ended) we take a look at everything in the game, ensuring that every aspect, be it individual units, generic rules, or specific abilities, are all meeting the same quality standard we’re setting for ourselves. The bottom line is, if there should ever be a problem with an aspect of our game, we don’t want to just let it exist or try to outgrow it - we’re going to fix it and make it right. Those changes are found here!
Core Rulebook FAQ and Errata
Of note here are two distinct changes we have made: Modifications to how Spray and Stream Weapons work, as well as simplifying how "Spells" (Foci, Psychogenics, Etc) are utilized. Be sure to note how these two effects how work on the battlefield!

Special Abilities and Weapon Abilities
We've made a fundamental effort to streamline most of the abilities in the game. Some went through a slight overhaul for game balance purposes, so be sure to give them a good read! And of course, any questions can be directed to our Rules Forum for quick and expedient answering!
