Moving On
Echo Is now done. The story is finished, the characters completed it is just a matter of finishing the Infinite Strategy platform to play the full game.
And the last batch!
The descriptions of all these characters will be written up in the Character/Scenario book that will come with the miscellaneous content of the game box.
THE CARDS ARE FINISHED!
Here are the first lot of cards finished and ready for print. The stat calculations and layouts took a long long time but they are finished I am very pleased with their outcome.

The list
I have been working my way down the concept list, and at this point I am half way down. I wanted to stick to the race style but obviously have different tactical unit types. Here area few I have done. They will all be presented in the art book which will come with the board game with descriptions of each character.









The Corv
Story so far
With the help of the legend I have written I will also have a short story explaining the immediate narrative scenario taking place in the game. This will help the player understand the story of echo, immersing them even more and also adding to the miscellaneous assets of the game.
“Here the two armies of Echo meet. The wings of crows and vultures clash with those of the Peacock and Owl. Belief in the legend long lost, these birds only fight for power, driven by their imprinted virtue and vice. Unknown to them however, a fledgling with a long thought lost plumage walks among them. Those who know the legend, know his significance and power. Whoever he sides with may have the power to defeat their enemy.”
It is a bit vague at the moment but I hope to flesh it out as i build up a the narrative world bit by bit.

Progress
So far, I have made a significant dent in the concept list. 6 concepts have been scrathed off. This leaves me with plenty of time to finish these concepts and apply them to my final card layout. I have also completed the scenario rules unique to echo. I will post them on both blogs as this is what truly fixes the narrative to the game format.

Board
Ive been working hard at trying to construct a working example of an infinite strategy board. I have a had a few problems but I believe I have come to a decent prototype. From this I was able to format the card layout to the right dimensions which means once my concepts are finished its just a matter off filling out the card stats and printing them.
I am in the process of working on the crow characters at the moment and I have also finalized a few characters concepts for the cards.
Here is the concept list I have been working through.
