Universal Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer [Dreamscape expansion]

JCman, I sent a GC request to you. Good luck!

 

Got it thanks you too. Can start any time as soon as we decide on the decks. I say stick with all three but it doesn't really matter to me

 

Allrighty! Three decks no promos started!

 

Thanks for posting the matchups!

I'm good w all three decks as well. I was just concenred ppl might not like playing w all three decks, but nobody seems to mind, good stuff.

One thing we SHOULD decide now is if we should have a playoff to crown a winner for the tourney. I would think we want to, and our interforum challenge can wait until we are done here.

According to Swisstriangle.net, with 12 ppl and 4 rounds, we shld have 1 player at 4-0 and 3 players at 3-1. 4-man KO playoffs for these 4 ppl, same format, does that sound alright to everyone? We dont need a Challonge site to do it. Seeding can be done using the tiebreaker in the Challonge site first, or alphabetically if that doesnt work.

 

Well that was quick! Thanks MLKeener that was fun. I won both games.

 

I'll agree to using all decks, yes.

Emos, I sent you a game invite. If you notice that things aren't moving as fast as you'd expect, feel free to set up 3 matches in parallel - that's how I played currymutton. Not ideal, but could work in order to keep the tournament moving.

Let's see! Looking forward to playing you

 

I have a questions - there seems to be an error in the description of the Sea Tyrant monster - it says that if the player has more than 1 construct, he must destroy all but 1 construct he controls. Well, from what I've noticed, the player doesn't actually destroy the other constructs, but only places them in the discard pile and not the void pile. Or am I missing something? Thanks!
(In GameHead, in their monsters tutorial it actually shows a completely different description, one that indeed says the player must discard the cards and not destroy them. Bug?)

 

Yeah, the constructs don't go to the Void - they go to the player's discard pile. "Banished" and "Defeated" cards go to the Void, "destroyed" constructs go to the discard pile.

 

Thanks! I actually Googled it a little and noticed that the description on the app is from the 2nd edition whereas the GameHead description is from the 1st edition. I really don't know why they changed the wording as destroying seems a lot more straight forward to void the card than discard it. Much more confusing. Oh well.

EDIT: noticed the same thing with the Corrosive Widow monster. In the 1st version it says discard pile whereas in the 2nd version it says destroy. I guess I'm a bigger fun of the 1st less confusing version. I honestly don't understand why they changed the wording.

 

Yeah, I tend to agree - the word change was an odd one.

 

Yeah agreed.

Destroy = Discard. There's only one instance where you lose a card from your repertoire and that's the Xeron Duke of Lies ability.

 

The Destroy keyword was added with Storm of Souls, before that it used to be discard, but both are the same thing.

 

I finally beat tecwrtr! After nice solid losing streak! I owe it all to you, Eye of Destiny! <gives digital card a hug>

 

That's funny.

That card has NEVER won me a match. It's too expensive and with low honor to cost ratio, it's just not worth it 95% of the time. If you pick it up in the first 5 turns it's great, but that's so rare and you could still lose because it has no defense against being destroyed.

I won a game with Avatar of Aiyana though to great effect. That card is worthy of its cost.

 

Hey, the Eye of Destiny is awesome, definitely can be a MVP for a game. At the least, it's like having one of the Edges; other times, it can produce sheer magic

 

Have you all seen the Kickstarter page and the FAQ at the bottom?

Pros: Android, PC, Campaign mode, Tourney mode

Cons:

What will happen with Ascension on iOS?
Our partnership with Playdek will continue and will include the release of Immortal Heroes in June and new promo packs later this year. The Playdek app will not accommodate cross-platform play, though we plan to release a version of Ascension Online for iOS sometime in the future so that iOS users can have access to all the features we are promising in this kickstarter. Both Playdek and Stone Blade are committed to supporting our fans on all platforms!

Do I have to rebuy everything if I already have expansions on iOS? Does Ascension for Life include iOS Devices? Will Ascension Online be on iOS or just the Playdek version of Ascension?
Since Ascension for iOS is made in partnership with another developer, we can’t offer purchase transfers between the two systems. We eventually plan to release Ascension Online for iOS. When we do release Ascension Online for iOS, your purchases on any other platform (including Ascension for Life) will transfer over.

 

Interesting... I have some friends who have Android tablets that I occasionally play table top games with that I think would love Ascension, but there's been no way to play it with them online.

 

Pick up hero who gives you power. Use that power to defeat monsters that destroys constructs. Rinse and repeat...

Yes, I picked it up pretty early on and she wasn't able to destroy it until the second to last round of the game.

Seriously, that game was a fluke. The game before that, she beat me by 40 points I think...

 

The kickstarter campaign is annoying. If they are going to make an iOS version, they should include at as part of the campaign, and then just get the pain over with. I'm going to want to be able to play with friends on Android (or PC), so I'm going to have to buy the Stone Blade one once it's released. Also I question their commitment to the relationship with Playdek. I wonder if they aren't going to kick them off the store once the SBE version is released and if that's going to happen I wish they'd be clear about it. If so I don't know if I'm going to buy IH for the Playdek version or just wait for the SBE version.
