Well met, gentle folk!
This week we've been continuing work on the game internally. We've been very happy to see the amount of play MP is getting and the discussions both here and on our Discord channel.
Keep the ideas and feedback coming!
Change in weekly update schedule!
We will be changing our weekly updates to Tuesdays rather than Fridays starting next week on February 19th. News and Announcements will be made each week then.
User Experience Enhancement Work Continues
We're all heads down working on user experience enhancements that have been outlined previously and in our Twitch Stream this week, so there's not a lot news this week. We do have a few things we want to give you a sneak peek at, such as upcoming cards that will be available when Sphere Level 3 cards become available with The Shadow's Fall official release. On this note, we're getting close to being able to announce when it will launch. Be sure to stay tuned to find out more about that in the future!
Multi Level Card Sneak Peek!
With multi-level Sphere cards, you are giving up deck diversity in order to double down on a single sphere's capability. That means you lose access to some powers that are part of a Sphere's focus by choosing to reduce the number of Spheres you use. For that reason, as we design multi-level Sphere cards, we operate under a set of rules to compensate for this.
First, if a card grants an effect that is part of a Sphere's focus, it should either be at a lower resource cost or grant a more powerful effect than normal.
Second, a card can grant an effect that is outside of a Sphere's focus when multi-level, but if it does, it should be at a higher resource cost than what would be normal for that Sphere.
With that in mind, here are some Sphere Level 3 cards we wanted to share with you.
Erebor Battlemaster
The Erebor Battlemaster is, potentially, a very powerful card. You may only add him to a deck if you use triple Tactics heroes, and his power is only effective when you have lots of Dwarves on the table—if you do, he can become devastating.
A Light From Within
A Light From Within is another card with a potentially powerful effect. For each Ally, you gain 1 Willpower. You may only use this card if you have 3 Leadership Heroes—but if you do, you will become a Questing machine.
These cards are undergoing internal testing now and are subject to change before release, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek to discuss.
That's it for this week.
Fair winds to you all until next time!
