This update focuses on some bug fixes and significantly lowering the overall difficulty. If you liked the previous difficulty, don't worry - it will return when the Ranking system is added!
General Changes
- The Discard Pile is now shuffled back into the Letter Box whenever the Letter Box runs out of either vowels or consonants, instead of waiting until the Letter Box is completely empty. This should help prevent situations where you end up drawing only consonants or only vowels for multiple rounds.
- Base gold bounty increased by 20. "Best Word" gold bonus removed.
Campaign
Note: These changes will not effect existing Campaign runs.
- Fixed an issue where you could immediately fight the Titans in a Campaign.
- Lowered overall enemy strength by 1 level.
- Early encounters have 1 less enemy.
- Boss encounters have 1 less enemy.
- Storm deck: 1 copy of Jolt is now Jolt β.
- Chill deck: Now starts with an additional copy of Icicle.
- Chaos deck: Starts with an additional attack rune, and 2 of the starting runes will now start with a random upgrade.
