    Main story scenarios (red map marker) and subplot scenarios (blue map marker) are removed from the map once they have been completed successfully (victory condition met).

    Repeatable scenarios (yellow map marker) remain on the map forever.

    ** Minor spoiler **
    The 'Treasure Map' subplot comprises 5 parts.
    Whenever you successfully finish one of these treasure map scenarios, the next part is unlocked.

    If you complete a main plot map will it cause a subplot map to be removed? Sort of like it being irrelevant to the plot anymore?

    No, don't worry. No matter in which order scenarios are played, the number of available scenarios in total remains the same.
    In other words, the only way to remove a scenario from the map is to beat it.

    Thanks as always. You are definitely the best developer I have ever interacted with. If only other developers were as aware of their gamers as you are.

    Couldn't wait so I bought Knighturn to play. Same awesome gameplay and cool characters with a great storyline.

    Will Kingturn Underworld have the same storyline or a different storyline?

    I understand Kingturn Underworld is a remake of Knighturn with the same story but tons of additional tweaks, new scenarios, and some new characters. Here's the story synopsis from Kingturn Underworld's Google Play description. I think Knighturn is the best of the series so am looking forward to iOS avaliability of Kingturn Underworld; Knighturn is a blast with a diverse amount of playable characters.

    Knighturn has basically the same story as Kingturn Underworld, but we have added a few scenarios to Kingturn Underworld that further connect the story lines of all 3 parts.
    Just 2 weeks ago we have also added a very challenging mini-campaign comprising 6 scenarios to Kingturn Underworld.
    In addition we have overhauled all scenarios for rebalancing purposes (different spawn mechanism, elite units, different unit skills and so on).

    Right now I would say that July, 11 is the most likely release date (which is a Thursday, by the way :)). We are still overhauling scenarios and are adding new content, so a release date in June gets a little tight now.
    Especially since we have to add a time buffer for the Apple review.

    On the plus side, the changes we are doing now should make Kingturn Plus a fresh experience even for those who have played Sw&Ear already.

    Thanks undeadcow! IMHO the characters are what make the game unique and awesome. I've played many similar games but without the storyline and main characters, which really anchor the story, the experience feels less immersive.

    In Kingturn, I particularly enjoyed
    Eugene and Yvonne's story. It was funny and sweet and added a new dimension to the tale and I found myself choosing them more often in scenarios
    .

    Thanks niebau, for the reply. Juliet's a great character and I'm enjoying the game very much. Looking forward to Kingturn Underworld! For a moment, I was tempted to switch to Android just to play it first. :)

    I agree that was a highlight in the plot; I wonder if that subplot will spin out any further in subsequent installments. I'm also looking forward to the Utakah material in the future Kingturn ports.

    Yes, that was a great subplot too. Enough for a new game. :)
    Chiefturn, coming June 2014?

    max unused item slots

    Niebau or anyone else who knows is there a max number of unused item slots because, I could almost swear there have been times that an enemy has dropped an item and it hasnt appeared in my unused item invenetory. Is it that or is there an item stacking mechanism that stacks like items in your inventory and just does not tell tou that there is multiples of the same item. My problem is I havent sold a thing since I started the game because I dont want to risk selling an item I might need later. Maybe you guys can help me out by telling me whether the items that are dropped later in the game are consistently better and that the item drops are semi regular, by which I mean there are elite units(yellow star) and super elite units(green star) on the maps, and i need not worry that I have the lesser items for new characters. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hey niebau have you had a chance to look at the possibility of being able to change just your starting army yet?

    Item drops seem consistently better as you progress. You shouldn't need to worry about retaining EVERYTHING; I preferred to sell lower tier items to purchase more premium gear for my favorite units.

    Thanks Ive been item grinding on this map with 2 elite units on it and Ive been getting concerned that the items have not been appearing in my inventory. I guess I will sell off my lesser items. How much gold do you keep on hand?

    No, there is no limit for unused items, and there is also no stack mechanism. So each additional item (drop or purchase) gets a separate entry in the unused item list. Everything else would be a bug.
    Just now I've did a few tests and couldn't find anything unusual, but I will keep an eye on it.

    Like undeadcow has said already, the quality of dropped items is increasing over the course of the game. To be more precise, it depends on the level of the enemy you defeat.

    I would also recommend to regularly sell your lower level items, to have more money for better items, mercenaries and training.

    Not yet. Right now we are quite busy with the preparations for the Kingturn Plus release.
    To be honest, I also have very mixed feelings about introducing this feature.
    On the one hand, I fully understand your point and I'm also a big fan of player freedom.
    On the other hand, most of the initial setups serve a specific purpose.
    Some of them are meant to give the player an advantage, while others are meant to give him a disadvantage.

    Once more, undeadcow has pretty much hit the nail on the head with his former reply:

    One specific incident I thought I noticed was the item dropped said "plate" I assumed it meant some plate armor but when I went to my unused items screen I couldnt find it.

    Also how does chest loot work is it based on the level of the scenario or the level of the character that claims it?

    I understand completely it was just something I was throwing out their for possible consumption and I definitly appreciate how busy you are.

    thanks for your response

    If you dont mind me asking how many unused items do you normally have on hand for use and how much gold do you have on hand for emergency shopping trips?
