Instead of doing an incremental update, Mantic’s looking to create the definitive version of Kings of War. We get a look inside of this new edition and all that it entails in this preview.
From the article:
What is the Kings of War: Compendium/Omnibus/Definitive Edition/Super Ultra Edition/The Big Red Book? Good question dear reader.
Basically, instead of doing our typical Clash of Kings release for 2022, we wanted to create the definitive edition of the Kings of War rulebook for existing and new players.
Since Third Edition came out, we’ve had numerous releases that add to the core rulebook. Whether that’s unit changes, with Clash of Kings, new ways to play in Halpi’s Rift, or entirely new armies in Uncharted Empires; there’s a lot beyond the standard rules. Oh, and on top of that, you’ve got the FAQ and errata too.
So, when it came to planning this year’s Clash of Kings we thought that perhaps it was time to consolidate all of these disparate books into one magnificent tome… and thus the Kings of War Compendium was born.
Now instead of turning up to a tournament with your rulebook, potentially a copy of Uncharted Empires and the newest Clash of Kings, alongside an FAQ; you can rock up with one sleek volume. We’re all about making life easier for players!
