I think the zahir and vril cards create new playstyles or give support to lesser-played playstyles. Dannan gets interesting removal and a very good accelerator.

 

The AIs above level ten flow as smooth as silk now, which I'm really happy about. I wasn't expecting new cards this early and that's a pleasant surprise. Grand update, Kyy Games.

 

Very interesting cards in the update. I think their relative strengths may turn out to be quite different than you'd expect at first.

For example, my initial thought was that Rusalka is a real monster, but the "does not conquer" bit balances things out a lot. Still, an interesting twist to the mechanics. On the other hand Magician felt somewhat odd at first glance, but after consideration, it may turn out to be a very interesting unit. And what more, it gives Zahir a nice 2 resource drop that they've been lacking. Interesting to see, whether there will be more cards in the future updates that make Magician tick even better.

Not sure what my favorite new card is yet, but Decompose art is really, really sweet.

Thanks for listening, Kyy & Mika. This is great news!

 

I'd probably have gone with async and the reward system over friend games, but as long as all three make it into the game, I'm a happy cabalist

 

Totally agreed, can't believe people wouldn't want async, the real reason I never play it is I don't have time for anything non async. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in the community voting that way. As far as the dev and the game goes, there is nothing to be disappointed at in them, they are both great.

 

Just started playing and I love the mix of TBS and trading cards in the game. I was wondering though can you earn influence besides buying it. Also what does controlling blank spaces do(if anything)?

 

Async should be added first, along with chat if it is not there yet.

 

Controlling blank spaces increases your influence, which is another winning condition (there are 2 - either conquer your opponent's fortress or reach 60 influence first to win).

 

So how much do you get per regular tile?? And the other question still stands.

 

I think you mean Dominion Points, not Influence. Accumulating sixty Dominion Points is one of the two victory conditions; Influence is the in-game currency. Also, I thought that only stronghold, resource and deployment tiles gave you Dominion Points? I might be mistaken, though.

walsh06: As of the moment, the only way to obtain Influence is to purchase them, but Kyy Games is planning to implement other ways to earn Influence. I know selling cards is going to be one of those ways and I think quests are another way as well. I might be mistaken about the latter, however.

 

At the start of your turn, you get one Domination point for your stronghold and one point for each Resource and Deployment location you control. It's in the instructions. I don't think you get anything for blank tiles.

 

thanks. And ya that was what I thought too. But I was wondering as surely there is some purpose to the regular tiles turning to your colour.

 

Someone clarify this dominion point question please because I also want to know

 

This is correct. Domination points are gained 1 per round, for each special location you control.
Special locations currently are: Stronghold, Resource location, Deployment location.

Currently there's only a few cards that use 'normal tiles' to their benefit:
CHANGELING CHAUFFEUR
Cabal: Danann Covenant
Type: Unit
Price: 3(+2)
Power: 2
Abilities: When conquers a tile: +1 resource.

GNOME HERO
Cabal: Danann covenant
Type: Unit
Price: 4(+2)
Power: 1
Abilities: When conquers a tile: +1 power
..., but there's more coming...

Developer inside information: in the early phases of the development the normal tiles also formed a link between special locations and stronghold. If the link was broken, the benefits were not gained. It was a great tactical aspect, but also lead into more defensive playing. We wanted to encourage more active playstyle instead of turtling.
However, this feature might still be introduced later in new game modes and rule sets.

Cheers!
Mika
