Yeah,
Arrrrgh I've been thinking about pledge level math again!,

Basement help!

Is if it bleeds plus £20 better/worse than 'in the pipe plus real aliens'
Both cost £230...

Spoiler:

Panic...

I've gone and switched pledge to real aliens plus in the pipe...

Double pledge I get £235 in extras
If it bleeds plus £20 - I get £220 plus four more face hugs
So it's kinda like trading in 4 face hungers for a berserker and £5..

Although if I'm wrong please tell me!!

Calculations in the spoiler

Spoiler:

All in all you get about the same value with both, but less variety with that particular combo... It depends on what you want I guess.

**Panic**

Yeah,

Thanx! I've switched back!
I think your right the free add ons would limit my selection.

I didn't want two berserkers anyway...

Panic...

If I drop my pledge down from get to the chopper, will i be able to increase it again during the pledge manager (back to get to the chopper)? My money is needed elsewhere.

there is a better value at the 275.00 Chopper pledge. and I don't think you can select the Chopper pledge after the KS is over. you must select the highest pledge you want then you can add funds for either extra items or additional pledges lower than the one you've selected.

Like I don't think you can select the "We're in the Pipe" pledge and afterwards select "get to the chopper"

5 hours and less than 200 backers needed... Can we do it?

Probably not, but if we get Weyland-Yutani troops then I won't be too dissatisfied anyway.

**Necros**

I hope they make the commando models look better than the hockey mask with googles looking guys from the movie pic

**Pacific**

Added a bit more to my pledge for the Predator ship, but really hoping it will reach £350,000 for the Corp troopers!

Well, pledged for a bunch of Preds and Aliens. Still don't know what's the difference between a free add-on and a free model at my pledge level, but feth it, in a month I won't even remember what I pledged for anyway.

haha yes that is so true! Just been opening my Deadzone stuff with a genuine sense of surprise and wonderment, as I couldn't for the life of me remembered what I had pledged on

Okay, because some kickstarters allow you to change your pledge level by adding funds during the pledge manager phase.

EDIT: Prodos confirmed in the comments that this was indeed possible. Woohoo!

you can add funds. just can't upgrade your actual pledge level.

**chaos0xomega**

That would be contrary to what Prodos said about their own post-KS pledge manager via comments.

**warboss**

Did the praetorian get renamed the royal guard? I'm not seeing the former on the list of add ons.

It's the same thing. I got confused too.

**Andilus Greatsword**

Yeah they use both terms. Also, ~4 hours to go and we only need 115 backers to hit 2000... This should be interesting! Might add some money to my pledge for add-ons, so an extra 10GBP credit would be great.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Well Heroquest is suspended for an IP dispute (could be up to 30 days before a decision is made)

so you may get some ship jumpers back

**Forlorn**

Off to Thanksgiving. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

If the AVP arcade game was a major source of inspiration for this game I suspect the name change may be because of that. Some of the other names seem to go along with that as well.

Let's get the APE suits!

You know.. think there is a possibility this might make 2000 backers!

Or it might get to like 1980 or so and then Prodos decide to go the good thing

**Wolfun**

3:30 hours, 78 people and 3k left.

Could be doable if it doesn't slow down.

**Andilus Greatsword**

Weyland-Yutani troops unlocked! 65 backers to go in 3 hours - at the rate we're going, that's very doable!

**Kroothawk**

I am more excited about the second side of the tiles that look much better than the first it seems:

Update #30
£370000 Double-sided Tiles for the Board Game

If we get to £370000 Prodos will make the Board Tiles in the main game double-sided and add 5 new Missions!

And now the Weyland-Yutani Commandos can be bought for £15. Each is multipart and multipose polyurethene miniatures:

AND we are very very close to unlocking the 2000 backer Add-on, for which all backers of 'We're in the Pipe' or higher get an additional £10 of free add ons.

**marv335**

It's an exciting time

I had some pledge credit I didn't know what to do with, problem solved.

**H.B.M.C.**

Pledged £1 so that I can add for the tiles if they end up being any good.

**Kroothawk**

32 backers and 13k to go!

**bubber**

17 backers to go

**Alpharius**

11 backers to go.
