## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences with regular Titan ?

New creatures, some old creatures are stronger, new recruiting and acquiring tables, and bigger masterboard. See the pages cited above for more details.

Note: ExtTitan has been updated to a more recent version of Extended Titan, that wasn't published on the web.

According to author Guy Dyson, the new changes (as of early December 2002) are:

- Serpents gain 3 dice
- Manticores gain tree nativity
- Griffons lose range strike, but gain tree nativity
- Unicorns gain a dice
- Also the caretaker stack sizes have all been increased

### What are the differences between Extended Titan and ExtTitan ?

We do not yet support the Ent or Balrog optional rules. Otherwise they should now be identical. If not, please report the bug.

### (OBSOLETE) Graphics are ugly or wrong!

Not anymore. Thanks to Jerry Reiger for the chits for the new and changed creatures, and to Josh Smith and John Lum for the Orange and Purple markers.

### (OBSOLETE) Why is the Griffon Rangestriking ?

Guy Dyson (author of Extended Titan) and James Gwinnett (playtester) confirm that they gave griffons rangestriking because wyverns gained slope nativity when they became recruitable in hills, and they wanted to create a balancing advantage for griffons. (There is no real advantage to being native to woods.)

Note: as of early December 2002, the Griffon no longer rangestrike, but is native to Tree instead.
