Mantic Games - Warpath Deadzone Kickstarter
#1
Just spotted this on Dakka, was waiting for a Warpath one..

Hot off the press, here's everything I currently know about this:

- Deadzone will be a sci-fi skirmish game, set in Mantic's Warpath universe.
- It will be a Kickstarter, at some undetermined point in the next few months.
- It will feature the Plague and the Enforcers as the two main factions, both of which will receive a massive amount of releases and launch two new armies for Warpath.
- Other factions are hinted at being included.
- Plastic terrain will be a core part of the game.

A couple of snippets of background for Deadzone have surfaced, detailing the setting:


A Deadzone is created by a Plague Outbreak. When something triggers an outbreak the Corporation and Council find out very quickly and shut down the infected zone and a swathe of planetary systems around. An update is triggered to all Navcomps deleting the Deadzone from record - it no longer exists. If you were heading there you get a new destination, if you are inside when it goes.. you now have no destinations in your Navcomp and are considered collateral damage.
Understandably, there are still a lot of resources, etc stuck inside a Deadzone. The Council sends the Enforcers in to secure anything they feel is valuable, the Enforcers are also responsible for minimising witnesses.. that includes Plague and other Corporation troopers as well as pretty much anybody that crosses their path within the Deadzone.



Other factions flock to a Deadzone - lesser Corporations illegally utilise Marauder Mercenaries to seize assets and conduct black ops. The Forge Fathers have rich pickings on minerals, ores, etc. The Rebels have solar systems full of supplies.. etc. The Plague will kill most of the populace but leave the infrastructure, assets, etc mostly intact and recoverable.

Interest has piqued in this one with this pic, it is of the plastic terrain that is the core set up of the game. Depending on price, it is going to be hard to chose between this and the Robotech Kickstarter....

Few more Deadzone pics from Salute here (didn't actually manage to see any of the Deadzone stuff myself, the Mantic stand seemed to be dominated with Dreadball):
