Weekly Patch 12: Introducing Odyssey, balance changes and more

Game version for this patch: 0.8.0

This week has some really awesome stuff! It does have the usual bug fixes and what not, but also comes with a new mode and some good balance tweaks.

So lets talk about the big stuff first!

Introducing Odyssey

Odyssey is a game mode where it gets harder every time you beat it. The rules and mechanics build upon each other to create a more challenging experience every time you advance. Currently you can run through Odyssey with each class.

There will be 24 chapters to this, and with this initial release there are 12. I will be adding 6 more next update and 6 more after that.

I have placed a list below of the first 12

1. The Journey Begins - Beat the Game - Never show card math & Intent mode disabled
2. A Cursed Existence - Player starts with a curse (permanent)
3. Heroic Might I - Game gets harder
4. A Fleet Journey - Inns become one time use
5. Frailty - Players begin the game without powers
6. Dearth of Supplies - Limit Potion Bag Slots (10)
7. Worthy Adversaries - More Camps
8. Heroic Might II - Enemies get harder
9. Forged in Combat - Less Events 20%
10. Fleeing Villagers - Spawn less cities 20%
11. Enhanced Foes - Enemies gain a random buff at the start of fights
12. The Graveyard Shift - Lost gains 2 strength every turn instead of 1

As always let me know your thoughts on the mode

The next item is balance updates

I don't usually call out balance updates but I think these are pretty substantial.

The first is a tweak to the Thief class. Filch now costs 0 to play. The Thief now also starts with more gold.

The second tweak is the amount of gold it costs to gain stats have increased at later levels.
