New Mechanic: Engaged.
One of the most frequent requests we have gotten (first time from Splattercat's excellent video) is mechanical engagement. For your tanky melee characters to be able to protect their allies, they need a way to assert control of the battlefield. Therefore, we have added engagement to all characters dealing damage in melee!
When you deal damage to an enemy in your tile, they will now become engaged with you.
If they would attempt to leave, you’ll get a reaction attack. We had drafted on such a mechanic and it has been the #1 requested feature, giving the player more control over the flow of combat! Each player character starts with this ability.
Ending
We have a cartload of wonderful ideas and crazy mechanics that we're trying, building, and playing with behind the scenes. If you're interested in becoming a part of Yaengard's development, we're always in the Yaengard discord!
Just curious about what's being built? Read the previous article on the plans ahead!
Thanks for everything, and hope you're as hyped as we are for the future!
Adventure onwards,
Will, Designer of Yaengard
