I know Fenhorn has some pretty impressive homebrew for playing CK solo but I recall Tomas having mentioned on the BBG forums that they would look into making a more detailed/expanded set of solo rules that doesnt remove so much of the core features of the gameplay.
Is this still planned or even in the making?
I can only guess how the game might have fared, initial impressions was kind of lukewarm but since ive seen some valid and pretty good reviews and it carries a solid 7 on BBG.
I sincerely hope the game has sold well enough to encourage development down the line, for me personally a solo experience that is easy to manage yet still offers the full gameplay is my main wish.
