I've enjoyed the first Strive quite a bit, and Strive: Conquest is definitely it's own thing, with a lot of differences.  It's going to be interesting how the mechanics differ with each game though. I do appreciate the combat differences, and with the guild faction system, there is a lot to look forward to down the road. 

Looking forward to when this project catches up and has some of the older mechanics, and whatever newer mechanics are also on the way. Keep it up!
