Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.33. Our biggest focuses for this patch have been the new Demo mode that just went live earlier today, as well as the reworked resolution phase, which has been several months in development.
Patch Notes
Major Features
Demo Mode
We have added a Demo Mode for players to get a preview of Infinity Wars classic for those that are not subscribed to our Patreon campaign, this gives only single-player preset decks that you can try out a small fragment of the game against AI opponents. We'll be looking at a full free to play launch once the game is further along in it's development, but for now this should make a nice hit of nostalgia to old players, or a good way to try it before you buy it as someone considering becoming a Patron subscriber. Regardless, it's now sitting on the main branch of Infinity Wars 1, so you should be able to get in super easy. Enjoy!
Trading Post and Mulligan Changes
The Trading Post has undergone a massive rework, restored to it's former IW1 functionality, cards are now drawn instantly for the trading post and Mulligans now work the same as in IW1 and you can mulligan any number of times on the first turn. Do note that Trading Post actions cannot be undone.
Trading post actions now happen before any other triggers or effects in resolution.
Resolution Rework
The resolution phase has undergone a large rewrite of it's codebase, allowing us to support more gamemodes and projects in the Infinity Engine, as well as bring the order of resolution in IWC into line with IW1, without disrupting IH.
Triggers can now also interrupt the resolution phase at any time, allowing us to add more VFX and feedback to different triggers such as "On Enters Combat" or "On Attack" triggers.
Trigger Rework
In conjunction with the resolution rework, we also have done a large rework of the trigger system, allowing us to grant temporary or permanent triggers via our modifier system, this allows us to make many new types of cards and many old cards that were previously difficult to implement.
Click To Continue Resolution Option
To help assist players in complex board states or those newer to the game, we have added multiple "Click to Continue" resolution options that will pause the resolution phase during triggers and effects until you wish to continue. This can be enabled for just your opponent's cards, all cards, or disabled. See the Options Menu dropdown.
Minor Features:
- Turn Timer Syncing - Multiplayer turn timers will now synchronize much more accurately as well as work with both the "click to continue" resolution and fast forward options.
Balance Changes:
- Xac's Demon Form changed from 15/15 Consume 2 and "If Xac kills a character as a Lord of the Pit, that Character's controller must sacrifice a Character next turn. This effect can only happen once per turn." to 16/16 Consume 6 and Plunder 1.
New IWC Cards:
Cathleen
Cost:2 Morale:4 (WPx1 & FDx1)
Unique Character - Human
As long as Cathleen is Deployed, whenever another character you control is deployed, it gains +2/+2 until end of turn.
