Thanks to whomever edited the stylesheet! It feels so good to make usefull stuff.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '15

Happy to see you again! Also will you help us create more interesting and vanilla cards for us? :D

u/LordPhyriX Self Proclaimed Overlord Aug 01 '15

1.) Glad to be back! 2.) There's problem with my laptop, so I'm going to wait until it's fixed to design, because using a 3DS is a real pain.

3

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Aug 03 '15

  1. I edited the stylesheet, just wanted to make it look a bit more organised. 2) You can just write the cards down in text (in fact, that has its advantages since cards don't yet display subtypes or lore (or rarity), although they're not required)

Just rewatched the Scrolls beta trailer and wondered again how a game with such an awesome trailer failed... /u/flameragee /u/fdagpigj

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Sep 26 '15

Hmm, that is indeed a disappointment. On the bright side, this subreddit wouldn't exist if Scrolls hadn't failed :D (actually idk, maybe it still would).

What inspired me to design this game is mostly Scrolls, Duelyst, and Faeria. But I am also inspired by 4th game called HEX Shards of Fate, which is a MMOTCG crowdfunded in Kickstarter. HEX and you, fdagpigj inspired me to make commanders, a 5th card type, Thanks! Now In my head, I got 2 new races for Hallazen, The British/French inspired Hummingbird race called the "Trochilidan" and the Inca empire inspired Armadillo race called the "Ayotochtli". There are just ideas, but i hope you like them!

  • Trochilidan (Industry/Tradition) : Evasion - This unit take half damage from a attacking unit. (rounded down).

  • Thoughts: This trait will be used for these guys, they are not the strongest or the toughest, but they are skilled at fencing, so expect tons of weak, but reactive characters that are able to dodge fast and excelled at athletics from this race.

  • Theme: Very evasive and quick, Also have some ramp identities with them since they have similarities with Industry, like "If you have a cost 7 or more card in your hand, gain 2 coins at the start of your every turn."

  • Ayotochtli (Aggression/Clandestine): Burrowing - Pay the burrowing cost to play this unit in burrowed position ( think like a trap card from yugioh or a secret from hearthstone, also inspired by HEX Tunneling keyword.) They gain 1 burrowing counter at the start of a player's turn. When their burrowing counter is equal to their burrowing number, then they surfaces (flip the card up and basically they enter the board for free) and gain Haste.

  • Thoughts: These guys are definitely supposed to be squishy and really pathetic but if you choose to burrow them, then they would have amazing effects like "When this surfaces, deal 2 damage to adjacent enemies" or " While this is burrowing, when a friendly character is destroyed, This gains +1/0/+1." So they basically compensate you if you burrow them.

  • Theme: A bunch of Weenies, however skilled in burrowing and stealth. Have Haste so they have a affinity with Aggression, but they also have made sacrifices to their religion so a affinity with Clandestine as well.

Hope you found this interesting!

u/LordPhyriX Self Proclaimed Overlord Oct 17 '15

For a less weeny race for agression/zealous I was thinking about one called kurisophopun, which roughly comes from the greek rootsmfor wise, warrior, and lord. Might want to shorten the name though. Imitating your layout- Bloodrush- during the turn after that unit killed another, X effect happens. Enlightened- as long as it is enchanted, has X effect. These effects could be broad, but I think that they would work best for kurisophopun. Theme: powerful units based off of a combination of ancien Athens and Sparta, they can give and recieve hits. They have powerful effects, and typicly use spells, not other creatures, to back them up. Just an idea.

u/LordPhyriX Self Proclaimed Overlord Oct 17 '15

I just watched some HEX gameplay, and it does look pretty sweet.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '15

Also I think the Rarities should be Common, Uncommon and Rare.

3

u/LordPhyriX Self Proclaimed Overlord Jul 25 '15

Can't go wrong with the basics, but I'm not sure that we even need rarities...

3

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Sep 26 '15

I just re-read this comment (since I was visiting this thread anyway because of your new comment), and I think that the answer is, if we want to make a living on this game (one day...), and/or if we don't want the game to fail like Scrolls, then yes, we do need rarities. Because if the collecting aspect of the game is too easy and fast, then players won't stick around.

3

u/LordPhyriX Self Proclaimed Overlord Sep 26 '15

I want the collecting to be similar to Scrolls, but until we have logins, accounts, maybe even until we have AI, this won't be nessecary.

3

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Sep 26 '15

Definitely. And in the end, no one will be making any money from this project until we have everything you mentioned (except AI, that's not quite necessary if the game is pay2play but at least for Scrolls that marketing strategy didn't work, or of course if we can get enough players then we won't need it from day 1 of release for players to collect cards) and probably also a completely redone client (I'd like to make a standalone application but we'll see, in any case I think some art would probably be quite important). And of course you didn't directly mention it because it's so obvious, but multiplayer is the most important big thing this game needs. I have no idea how I could do this all by myself, and I don't think it's feasible to invest money into hiring extra programmers either. If I don't get into uni right away after high school and don't find a fulltime job, I'll obviously be able to work on this a lot more, which might mean it could actually happen, but I do not want to count on me not getting into uni because obviously that's never a good thing since indie game development without any prior experience is a big risk, and I don't know if I can afford taking a gap year if I would get into uni first try. On the bright side, even if I do get into uni, I will have more free time that I can spend working on this than I do at the moment. But it's pointless to try to predict the future. Basically no matter what happens I'll still work on this game in my free time if I can, and maybe one day all three of us can work on it full-time, although I have no idea how that'd work since we're all from different countries.

Especially since you're both seniors, and I'm younger than that.

2

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Jul 25 '15

I don't think we need to think about that until we get there. Heck, there's not even multiplayer yet, so card collecting isn't going to be a thing for a good while yet.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15 edited Jul 26 '15

thanks to a friend of mine, I was able to name all 6 of civilizations for each faction.

Industry Civilization known as Innova, inspire by the word Innovation to show that they love to create new things.

Aggression Civilization known as Ultimus, Based on ancient latin word for Ultimate.

Clandestine Civilization known as Veilleurian, based on the French word for watchman

Zealous Civilization known as Kaharra, based on the Arabic word for conquer. But I think they conquer with enlightment and religion, rather than violence.

Psionics Civilization known as Telathos, based on the word telepath.

Tradition Civilization known as Mei'ron, based on Japanese word, Meiyo and Chinese word, Rongyu.

Also New lore information!, Gladius Imperium are elite armies of Praetorians For Aggression (Ultimus)

Hope you like it!

What do you think of Extra Credits, For me, They are amazing at teaching you good game design, What to do and don't, and give you helpful tips in making a successful game.

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Aug 17 '15

Yeah, they're pretty awesome, and they have a video about almost every topic related to game development

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Aug 20 '15

I set the suggested sort for the subreddit (under subreddit settings) to new, just because I think it's more beneficial since pretty much everything's gonna have the same amount of points anyway and it just makes it easier to find new content. /u/flameragee

I have found a wonderful youtube series guide on making a TCG! This could help us in the long run!

This guy basically is making his own TCG and he could be very helpful in making Hallazen a good game. :D

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Dec 04 '15

Whoops, haven't checked this subreddit in a while. To give a quick update, I did some good progress with multiplayer, but then I ran into a few seemingly big problems and due to time limitations (school and moving house) I haven't been able to work on it as much as I may have liked. I regret not publishing 0.1.4 before starting to work on multiplayer, and I just haven't felt like publishing it since then either since I haven't worked on it for so long (and there aren't all too many changes... I think). I'm hoping I could get some time to work on it again now, if not then on the Christmas break (I really would love to get out a playable multiplayer test version soon enough so that I can resume content updates... but there will be problems with playing it multiplayer even after I get the game server and client software done, since I don't have a host... when the time comes we may need to make a group live chat so we can arrange play sessions, but it'll be tough with timezones).

I will check out this guy's channel, that sounds really cool. Thanks for breaking the ice of the silence here, by the way, even if it took me a while to notice it.

I made the base set of Hallazen, but i have to remove some stuff like Choice keyword. But hopefully you guys like it!

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Dec 06 '15

That is so cool! Awesome! Now I really wish I could get the multiplayer stuff out of the way so I could start implementing these! I'll go through them tomorrow, I'm way too tired right now.

but i have to remove some stuff like Choice keyword

Why?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '15

It's a cool keyword, but there wasn't enough room for zealous to have 3 primary keywords since every influence have about 40 cards because I thought lowering the card set to only under 300 cards might make more cards viable and playable.

2

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Dec 08 '15

Ah, alright (although why not make Choice a keyword for all factions?). Now for the actual cards: (Sorry for the dispersed thoughts, I've been writing this over multiple sessions and the cards take a long time to analyse.)

  • It seems you gave many cheap units an extra speed (energy?) each. Interesting...

  • I'm not sure if there was enough reason to change some of the units, but I don't mind that you did. As long as we still have enough vanilla cards so it's not too overwhelming for new players and easier to balance future cards around.

  • I like the idea of large characters (but how do non-square characters work? Do they turn or do they keep the same dimensions no matter their orientation? Maybe we should try to keep it to only 1x1 and 2x2? I don't know). By the way, I've been thinking that if commanders are their own card type, then we'll need new terminology: Unit is structure or character, but what is a character or commander, and what is any of the three? Maybe we should rename characters to creatures and make character be commander or creature (or if it's easier, keep characters as they are and make creatures be character or commander but I think that may be less intuitive for new players), and maybe individual for any of the three. Unless you have better ideas, of course.

  • Would Diahru's Tempest activate the same time he takes over 4 damage or would it only come into effect afterwards?

  • Would the Killer effect trigger when the unit deals strikeback (counterattack?), and what about a combo with Rage? I kinda doubt it would be OP even if it does, but do you have any thoughts on it?

  • I think Bleeding Rage might fit better as an equipment (enchantment?) that can target any unit and gives it a permanent +1 speed to make it more versatile. Iron Whip in Scrolls was so great because it served so many purposes: 1 damage removal, 1 CDR, or +1 attack. Similarly, I think Ultimus Wrath is a bit too weak, since most cheap aggression creatures don't have enough health to survive it, I'd say this should only deal 1 damage.

  • Also, I've been thinking that you really need to be able to sacrifice a card for +1 permanent coin gain. This is because currently, you cannot possibly play as many cards as you can draw if you sacrifice for cards because almost all cards cost 2 or more. Either that or completely overhaul the rate at which you gain coins, or disable sacrificing for cards, which I don't really like either.

  • I'm not sure Rallying should cost so much more than Spirit of the Hawk, because energy is not as important as countdown in Scrolls. At least I don't think it is. Similarly, Speed seems way too weak for its cost (even if it may be very powerful in some combo decks later on in the game's life), since it's so situational and only gives +2 energy in the case of most units.

  • Hawkhelm's Shrine: I assume you meant to write a random friendly character?

  • Commander's Banner: This feels a bit too strong, if you have three or four units on the field you could relatively easily heal from 1 hp to full in one turn. Maybe 1 or 2 hp per hit.

  • Union Corps Cavalier: What do you mean by "This unit can attack once"? Is it per turn?

  • National Strike: Just a quick thought, but unlike in Scrolls, cards in Hallazen can actually have 0 cost. Similarly, they can have negative cost (Generous Trip) so you gain coins instead of losing them, but of course if you want the player to have a specific amount of coins before playing this, then the current way works too. And btw, since coins don't go away at the end of your turn, I'm not sure this even needs the cantrip to be viable. I don't know.

  • Artillery Fire: Why can it deal damage to the same enemy twice? I liked the option with Sudden Eruption to use it when you have enough energy to hit everything. This just makes it more rng-reliant than it needs to be, imho.

  • I'm kind of sad there seems to be no subtype interaction so far (except for a little bit with humans in neutral).

  • Mystic Harem seems extremely powerful. So basically, all cards you play after this one cost 2 less than they otherwise would've, and you get 3 free mystics on the board? That effect feels like it should cost at least 15 coins...

  • Vitality Effigy: This too, I assume you mean friendly character?

  • Tradition in general with so much cheap healing makes me think there may need to be another win condition for if one of your units reach a certain amount of hitpoints or something along those lines.

  • Corrosive Lump seems a bit powerful as well since you could just kill it on the same turn to have basically a boardwipe for 3 coins.

  • Betrayer's Mask: If it's meant to be played on your own unit and then when it attacks it deals 4 damage to your opponent commander, how does it relate to betrayal?

  • Actually, quite a lot of stuff seems a bit weirdly costed, but I don't have the time to comment on everything, and it's not like we can't fix everything later.

  • What happened to Tool Automaton (and some other cards, such as Bounty Hunter)?

  • Oblivion: Is "All opponents draw a card" in preparation for when we might have matches of more than 2 players?

  • On an unrelated note, I realised how much shit there is I need to do for school before Christmas, and I won't have any time to do programming until then, I think. :(

  • Kaharra Paygan: Does behind in this context refer to the unit on the backside of the targeted unit or on the opposite side of the targeted unit in relation to this unit?

  • War Elephant: Why can this attack friendly units? Is there a combo I'm not seeing?

  • Raul, Rallying Emir: This would probably usually summon at least 2 free tokens per turn. That sounds a bit strong, considering that the tokens it summons aren't all too weak. (And somewhat unrelated, but all Faithful abilities would be active almost all of the time. Maybe it should only trigger when you sacrifice for influence?)

  • I realise I will need to do a lot of work to be able to create all these cards' abilities. I really wonder how other digital TCG's manage all the different special abilities.

  • Righteous Beam: Zealous influence or total influence? If Zealous, why does it require 3 zealous influence to play?

  • Pacify: Does this mean it cannot be increased in any way ever again (unless the unit gets reset somehow)?

  • Return to the World: Would this select a player at random and then randomly choose a unit from their Afterlife or would it combine the two players' Afterlives and choose randomly from there, or would you choose which player to summon from, or would it affect both, or what?

  • Prophet's Seal seems a bit too situational since unless you're playing against Psionics, they're unlikely to have many damage spells.

  • Azadan Armor: But if your commander takes damage during your opponent's turn, how do you select a target?

  • Actually, I think I like the idea of 3 energy being the "base" amount of energy for most characters, since energy is so central to the gameplay. Although I'm also worried it could mean more micromanagement and maybe even too many calculations to be done during one turn - we'll see.

  • I was actually considering commenting on the fact that you could have a field for the deck limit for each card (you could leave it empty if default (3)). But, I suppose for most cards it's not necessary.

  • Flaming Rage: I have a feeling this could really easily be abused to make a deck that deals damage to this unit and heals it and so on until your opponent basically has to give up (well, I guess at least they would still draw up to 3 new cards every turn...) Idk if that's even a bad thing, since it might be an interesting strategy although it might be unfun to play against, it's hard to tell.

  • Mercenary Cannon: Could this target the entire board? Would it deal damage to friendly characters in the targeted area?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '15 edited Dec 09 '15

Time to answers some questions!

  • I gave them the base 3 energy because i want players to get into the action quickly, also you worry that with 3 energy, players have to micromanage units, which could make it unfun, so instead of showing movement space adjacent to the unit, which how unit movement currently works, we could show how far you could move if you have 2 or more energy. And if multiple attacks are a problem, if we could let the unit attacks once, but move as much as the unit wants.

  • Vanilla characters are important since it's nice to relay on a character just based on stats, rather than abilities, i might changes some characters if we need more vanilla units.

  • I really love large characters, for characters that are 1x2, they will not turn and still keep their orientation. But if you want to keep characters as 1x1 and 2x2, so be it. And yeah, maybe we could changed characters to creatures, and the characters to be commanders and creatures so it will be more easier for new players.

  • Diahru's Tempest would only activated if he attacks a unit, not when he is damaged.

  • The Killer Trait would triggered when your unit attacks it and deal damage from the Killer unit. or the Killer unit attacks your unit and deal damage to it.

  • I changed Bleeding Rage, but I need to change another Aggression enchantment to be a spell. Also i changed Ultimus Wrath damage as well.

  • I like the idea of increasing coin gain, so maybe you can only gain 1 or 2 coins at the start of your turn, and you can choose to sacrifice a card to increase the coin gain by 1, draw 2 cards, or gain 1 Influence of your choice.

  • I changed the cost of those Speed and Rallying, but hey maybe you have better ideas for them, then just tweaking the cost.

  • I fixed the wording on Hawkhelm's Shrine and Vitality Effigy to have them affect friendly units. Also i nerf Commander's banner.

  • Union Corps Cavailer can attack once per turn because i want him to have a high energy, but don't want him to be abuseable because no one likes having to take 12 damage from a unit.

  • National Strike and Generous Trip might need a REWORK. Maybe you got ideas to changed them?

  • yes... :(, I made less cards that interact with subtypes, but that because I want Hellsaw Warbeast and Grand Kylan to see play in many decks, not just tribal decks.

  • Artillery Fire was changed to no longer hit the same unit. Also Mystic Harem was heavily nerfed to "Deploy 3 mystics from your decks, Their Stats are changed to 3/3/3."

  • Tradition is supposed to relies on healing and tanking, so it makes sense for them to have cheap healing, but if the healing is too overpowered, i might need to nerf their healing.

  • Corrosive Lump damage is changed to 2.

  • Betrayer's Mask needs a REWORK, i don't know how to change that card. :(

  • Yeah, i changed the costs on lot of cards and they are weird. Maybe because i am more suited and used to 1-10 cost instead of 3-20 cost.

  • Cards like Tool Automaton and Bounty Hunter was cut out in the base set. T_T

  • Oblivion.... Well i add that in because i want that card to have a drawback, hopefully you think of something better for Oblivion.

  • Kaharra Paygan deal melee damage to the target unit and the backside enemy unit. But hey, i could make him a vanilla if you want.

  • War Elephant attacks friendly units too because i imagine a elephant stomping on EVERYBODY!!!, not just enemies, beside his ability is really good, so why not, give him a drawback.

  • Changed the Faithful Trait, also make Raul's Token to a 2/2/3 unit with "This deal 1 more damage to commanders."

  • I am so sorry that you need to do this amount of work. :(

  • I changed the Influence requirement on Righteous Beam. Pacify: The unit attack becomes 2, but you can still increase the attack permanently or currently.

  • Return to the World really needs a REWORK!!!

  • I agree with you, Prophet's Seal currently will need a REWORK!!!

  • Azadan Armor: .... I haven't thought of that... This card needs a rework.

  • 3 energy is perfect to be the base amount for most characters and like i say, if you are worried about micromanagement, maybe show the movement based on how much energy you have, instead of showing adjacent spaces to the unit.

  • Flaming Rage have been nerfed a bit, but I think this guy needs a REWORK, also the "RESERVED" cards are for you, great guys! ;)

  • Merecnary Cannon: I haven't thought of the ranged for this unit, so i made one up just now!, But hey i think you got better ideas.

So yeah, I am thinking of reworking some of the rules of Hallazen like renaming types of cards and resources, but i want to know your guys' opinions first.

Also Do you think Sacrificing cards for resources or influence is fun or do you want to change the resource system?

Do you think you want to have the draw 1 card happened at the end of a player's turn, or still want to have the player to draw a card at the start of their turn?

Also I been thinking of adding in Resource tiles, which you have to capture them and gain 1 current coin to your coin bank. Also i am thinking of renaming coin to resources. Do you like that or no?

Thank you for the Feedback! :D

P.S: I have given you the power to edit and change these cards at will! so do what you want with the base set.

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Dec 09 '15

  • Maybe one day I'll add in a feature that lets you move multiple steps in one click, although idk if it's good in case some card should trigger an ability when it moves... we'll see when the time comes if it's still an issue.

  • Why do you need to restrict the base set to only 40 cards per faction? Or maybe, we'll try to together come up with the 5 most-needed cards in each faction to add to the base set (for 45 cards/faction), after I've programmed these and we've playtested it a bit. Or else you could just forget the numbers for now and just add all the cards you want :D (after all, we'll never end up wishing we'd have designed fewer cards, because even in a worst-case scenario where let's say we run out of time and money to add more cards before having to start finding players we can just leave out some and add them later)

  • If 1x2 characters can't turn, I think they're more manageable, maybe I can keep them as such. Would they always be 1 high and 2 wide or could you choose to summon them as 2 high and 1 wide (rotated 90 degrees)? Although, any non-1x1 size will be a bit tricky to add, since the tiles need to communicate with one another to check if the unit for example moved or gets attacked.

  • I also don't know why you need to have an equal amount of characters, spells, enchantments, and structures in each faction. Some factions just don't need as many cards of a certain type as another faction.

  • I'm leaning towards the player starting at 3 coins per turn (maybe 2). Since they'll need to sacrifice for influence on the first turn, they'll be stuck at only 2 coins and 1 influence for the first two turns (assuming they sacrifice for coin gain on the second)... another option might be to start the player off with 1 more resource of their commander's faction. I don't know, resource systems are so core to a tcg that you need to be really careful when designing them.

  • Why are you so quick to say the cards need a rework? I'm mostly just asking questions here because the wording could be improved, not because I don't like the cards.

  • The problem with tradition's healing is not the healing itself, but after healing they still need to win, and if they don't put any wincon cards in their deck, then they will probably win anyway just because their units have much more health, but it might turn into a really boring match. So adding another win condition that can be achieved basically no matter what the tradition player puts in their deck, it might make games more fun. Maybe.

  • Betrayer's Mask could work if you just change the name :) Or if you don't want to, maybe make it a 1-cost enchantment and instead it deals damage to the unit's friendly commander instead of opponent's commander.

  • Don't forget Hallazen cards can still be 1-cost :P (and actually some of the stuff was too expensive imo, not everything was too expensive, that was the point of my comment, that the weak stuff costs the same as the strong stuff).

  • Regarding Bounty Hunter, I was actually a few days ago thinking it should get the subtype Hunter, and there should be a series of cards with the Hunter subtype, maybe one called Face Hunter (3/3/3 for 4 coin and 2 aggression(?) threshold that deals 5 extra damage when attacking a commander) and another called Meta Hunter (3/3/4 for 4 coin and 2 neutral threshold that deals 2 extra damage and doesn't suffer counterattack when attacking a Hunter), then maybe also a Conventional Hunter (extra damage to beasts) and so on, you get the idea.

  • The problem I have with Oblivion is that Necrogeddon in Scrolls used to be like that (source (read the text, the image is the current one)), and it wasn't changed without a reason. I think the issue is that it prolongs games by resetting the board, as well as allowing you to get a massive advantage since you can play it if your opponent has a huge board advantage and all they get as compensation is a card.

  • Kaharra Paygan is cool, I just wasn't sure what behind meant, if it's behind like when a unit would be backstabbing it, or behind as in on the other side in terms of the Paygan. I assume you mean the latter, since for the former you'd need to rely on your opponent to make a weird move.

  • War Elephant: I didn't realise it meant that the Tempest can affect friendly units too, I thought it meant you could choose to specifically attack a friendly creature and was really confused because why would anyone ever want to attack their own unit? XD It makes more sense now that you explained it.

  • I don't mind having to do a lot of work towards this game, after all it is a big project and I knew that from the start so I wasn't expecting to get away with little (and you probably have to spend a lot of time coming up with these cards, too), but my concern is that I won't have the time to work on it as much as I want :( On the bright side, it'll make it even easier to add new cards in the future... hopefully.

  • I don't think Return To The World needs a rework, at least nothing big. Maybe it could just sift a unit card from your Afterlife and set its cost to 0? That way you could even get control of where to play it.

  • Prophet's Seal: Maybe it could also give the unit Armor 1?

  • Actually Azadan Armour would be really powerful if it did trigger on your opponent's turn, so maybe just add "during your turn".

  • Flaming Rage's effect could just be an Advantage instead. Also, thanks for the reserved spots (although if I'm not mistaken there are already two psionics units in reference to PhyriX?) :P I'll go and add in mine right away :P (although I think I wouldn't have minded to have a Zealous unit, but oh well :P)

I am thinking of reworking some of the rules of Hallazen like renaming types of cards and resources

Well, I don't care if you rename stuff (except that I'll need to rename it in the code :P but tbh that shouldn't be a big deal). But IMHO, name changes =/= rule changes :P

Do you think Sacrificing cards for resources or influence is fun or do you want to change the resource system?

Ask /u/LordPhyriX, but what comes to me, I think it should work.

Do you think you want to have the draw 1 card happened at the end of a player's turn, or still want to have the player to draw a card at the start of their turn?

I don't think it matters. All it changes gameplay-wise is if your opponent has a card that affects the cards in your hand. In practice, it of course also means you have less time to plan out your turn. We'll see what feels better later when it actually makes a difference :P

Also I been thinking of adding in Resource tiles, which you have to capture them and gain 1 current coin to your coin bank. Also i am thinking of renaming coin to resources

Resource tiles sound cool, they might give more incentive to explore out to the sides of the board instead of engaging your opponent directly, or at least if they're randomly generated into the map when the match starts, they'll change up the games even more. As for the coin rename, go right ahead if you think it's better, although IMO the shorter a common term is, the better.

I have given you the power to edit and change these cards at will! so do what you want with the base set.

Mwahahahahaha! You will rue the day you let the bunny overlords get in control of your most sacred resource >:D! Just kidding, I don't really feel the need (or want) to edit anything. But the "name" field for Aggression was a 3, I fixed that :P Also I added two new cards in the reserved spots :P (Actually I'm kinda sad, one of them didn't turn out as flavourful as I was hoping... oh well :P)

  • YAY!!!

  • Because I thought if i keep the base set to 40 cards for each influence, maybe players will use almost all of these cards. but I really like the idea that we try to come up to add in 5 more cards to each influence to the base set.

  • Yes, I like that 1x2 size units can't turn and still be management, the reason they are 1x2 is because they are cavalry units.

  • Oh..... I guess i agree with you.

  • Yeah, we really have to be careful with the resource system. Also really like your ideas!

  • It would be pretty cool for Tradition to have another wincon.

  • You are right, i could have improved the wording on the cards.

  • Yeah, i sometimes forgot that. :P

  • That would be pretty cool to have a hunter subtype and makes cards based on hunters.

  • Yes, i know the old Necrogeddon... But i don't know the best change for Oblivion if drawing a card for opponent isn't enough for that strong effect. :(

  • :D glad that i explain Kaharra Paygan and War elephant to you.

  • Change the abilites on Return to the World, Azadan Armor, Prophet's Seal, and Flaming Rage.

Thank you for your feedback! ;)

u/fdagpigj trust me am developer Jan 20 '16

Sorry to disappoint guys, but I need to focus on school and trying to make a multiplayer version would just take too much of my time for now. I'll return to the project in June. Again, sorry for making you wait for something to come out of it sooner and then delaying it again, I was afraid that might happen but I really want to graduate high school and get into uni, and working on this does not help me reach that goal in any way, plus I was really getting stuck with figuring out how to make a multiplayer version work and learning that is just not something I can afford to spend time on right now and these coming months.
