Empire is coming tomorrow! The release date has been set as August 19th! In the meantime to tide you over we're going to give you a little preview of another new trait that will be released with this faction.
It's called Shelter.
Shelter is a unit trait (like Shield) that protects the units from command cards both enemy and allied. These units cannot be buffed by friendly cards or Shelter will be removed. On the flip side if they are the target of an enemy command card (such as a bomb) the command card will instead remove Shelter rather than affect or damage the card. Shelter only stops a command card once. It does not work in tandem with Shield. A unit cannot have both Shelter and Shield. They cancel each other out. Unit abilities, like +1 attack and +1 HP, can still be used against and for units that have Shelter.
We hope you'll join us tomorrow, and remember to update your game, as Empire strikes! See you on the battlefield.
