Welcome everyone to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.29. We're announcing our tournament, as well as full patch notes for everything new to IWC, including our new group select feature, a much requested feature from the original game finally seeing the light of day!
So, let's just jump into things.
IWC April 2021 Tournament
As a part of our commitment to making competitive Infinity Wars Classic rewarding and fun, we're having our monthly tournament this weekend, marking half a year of tournaments with cash prizes in Infinity Wars Classic!
These are completely free to join for our existing Patreon supporters, and prizing is set to scale with our patreon campaign and player turnout, with 10% of our Patreon funds going directly back into the game's competitive scene with direct prizing. So, if we see an influx of players before this weekend, prizing amounts may increase beyond their currently published level.
WHEN: 24th of April, 11AM (AEST / GMT+10)
WHERE: Discord, sign-ups already open, with check-ins half an hour before the event.
PRIZEPOOL:
4+ Players - $30 First place.
8+ Players - $35 First Place, $10 Second Place.
16+ Players - $40 First place, $10 Second place, $5 Third place
You can find all the information, including rules, countdown timers and signing up to compete either on Discord, or in the post below.
Major Features
Multi Selection and Dragging
Holding Shift will now allow you to box select cards, moving them much faster.
Hold Shift and drag selected cards to move them about as a group.
Hold Shift and single click to add to remove cards from the selection.
This works with our new sliding zone system to make it as easy as possible to move the cards you want and rearrange them for the perfect resolution step.
We'd love to hear your feedback on this new feature we are very excited about.
Double XP!
We've set up our system to handle double exp limited time modes, and our first one will be happening this weekend during the IWC Summit! More events like this are slated to happen at some point in the future, and being active on Discord is the best way to hear more.
New IH Hero: Hinekri, the Chaotic
An additional update to Infinity Heroes, send the battlefield and your opponent into ruin with this unpredictable exiles deck.
Will you risk everything on the chance to gamble, or will you bend luck to your will?
Minor Features
Locations & Artifacts reworked
The original system from 0.01 of IWC allowed for a singular artifact OR location to be deployed, and playing another simply destroyed the previous, which isn't how it worked in IW1. We've now got it set up correctly to allow a singular location, and as many artifacts as you can handle, replicating the IW1 gameplay style.
Decking Out
We've changed decking out to work similarly to how it did in IWC, with each card drawn after reaching zero in deck resulting in 10 morale damage to the player.
