    New teams and a new "feature" coming this summoner.

    Teams are most likely the full master set teams and their reinforcements. Feature might be chat as its been widely requested here, the AppStore, and on bgg so they can switch from using Vassel.

    There should also be more AI teams which the game desperately needs.

    Complaint: due to most of my online games disappear all of a sudden, I have removed this game for good.

    BGG has some more info besides the two new factions (Benders and Mountain Vargath)

    Price will go up to 99 cents from Free
    The expansion will cost 2.99
    And they are adding "lore" and a new AI (they specifically mention ONE new one)

    Hopefully an easier AI lol. Large reason why I lost interest. Only so many times I can take a bad roll and the AI stomping all over me with 6's.

    I know it only seems that way, but pretty sure the AI is quite good.

    Is that a new AI difficulty level or is the developer finally providing AI for those expansion packs thath have been limited to human multiplayer only?

    Update is out.

    Unless I'm confused it looks like there are 7 potential AI opponents to play against (using the races' default decks) and when choosing a deck to play the game actually gives you some general faction specific playing tips which, as a newbie still, I really appreciate. :)

    The everything bundle doesn't cover these 2 new factions, right?

    Correct.

    On launch it asked me to restore purchases but failed. Checking the IAP the "Everything Bundle 1" has been renamed "Corel Bundle" and is now 11.99

    Restoring purchases switched the name back to "Everything Bundle 1" and showed it as purchased then greyed out all factions minus the Vargath and Benders.

    EDIT: the missing AI factions are Cloaks, Jungle Elves, and Benders. Not surprising since these decks use a lot of trickery.

    Also, IAP is no longer based on Factions. You are now buying Summoners and their reinforcements. It may seem like an innocuous change but this is actually good news since the first wave of second Summoners have been released. This change means they are likely to come to the iOS version at some point :3

    So if you've previously bought the Everything bundle, can you safely update without losing any content? And how do you get the new content?

    Yes you can update without losing anything and the two new teams cost £1.99 each.

    Yeah, you will be asked to restore purchases upon launch and everything you owned earlier will be unlocked. The new decks are $2.99 each (Benders and Mountain Vargath).

    Also, am I missing something or is "Lore" just a one page write-up about the game from the back of the box rather than the actual detailed bios and lore on the PHG site?

    Isn't that the strategy hints for each race?

    Hmm... Purchases won't restore on iOS7... Guessing it's something with the beta, but if anyone else has run into this and solved it let me know ;)

    Which of the new factions is the most powerful? I had tried the pre-update factions but lost against the AI...
