QoL improvements

These days we have made a number of improvements to increase the overall quality of the game. Some animations have been speeded up during combat and during the purchase phase. We improved the round-robin algorithm for combat opponent assignment and fixed the issue where you couldn't see the next opponent. Duties can now be given more quickly by pressing the 'D' key. Some graphical improvements have also been made, for example the mionion level indicator as can be seen below:

We'll continue to make these kinds of improvements over the next few days.

Roll and RNG changes

Until now, as you leveled up, the probability of finding lower level minions decreased significantly, this to compensate for the much larger number of lower level minions in the pool. We decided to revise the numbers and make the probability curve less steep. This will increase the chance of finding lower level minions at higher levels compared to now, and slightly decrease the probability of finding level 5 or 6 minions.

New Card Back


Duels Master
Whenever you win a combat, you get an additional gold for the next turn.

(This back will be unlockable very soon with a Duels achievement)

Upcoming Updates

Very soon the new Duels mode will be released, don't have an exact release time but it's a matter of hours. A dedicated news will be posted later. Also coming is a Twitch plugin that will allow viewers to see details about cards by simply hovering their mouse over them or other useful statistics of the game.
Unfortunately we are forced to postpone the Clan Wars until a later date. With the new Duels mode coming soon, we don't want to split the players into too many modes, so we decided to wait for a time when there will be enough players.

Card Changes

card:2955: Now always gives Holy Shield to minions without Holy Shield.

(you can play this spell on all minions)

Ranking Changes:

We have revised the algorithm that assigns points at the end of the game, in case of loss now the points lost are less. The high volatility of values gained and lost depends a lot on the large variety of players with different rank in a match, so we preferred to put a cushion for now. When we monitor that the players are well distributed among the ranks and there are enough players to make much more balanced matches, we will remove this mechanism.

Damage System, yet again!

We are not completely satisified with the current damage system. We want to address some of the issues with that system, for example it was a too common practice to powerlevelling and play a few level 2-5 minions in the early rounds of the game. That's not something we want. In order to discourage powerleveling but still keeping a fair amount of damage we are about to make the following changes. Our main concern is about the final part of the game, but we will continue to monitor the statistics and if this update is not enough we will act accordingly.

TL;DR

  • Upgrade Cost: the very first turn after the upgrade the cost of the upgrade is not lowered (it will be lowered the following turns);
  • Damage: your crew level + 3 damage per golden minion / 1 damage per normal minion + 1 damage for each equipment;
  • Level 6: a button to increase the damage of your minions by 1 for the next game will be unlocked (3 gold, repeatable).

Clan Wars

We are still working on the clans and are not totally satisfied with the result yet. Therefore we are forced to postpone the launch of the Clan Wars to next week: November 15th.

Leagues

We will soon introduce a new ranking system: Leagues!

  •  Apprentice
  •    Sailor
  •    Master
  •    Captain
  •    Legend

At the end of each game, the score you get will be calculated according to your final positioning and the ranking of the other opponents. Winning a game with stronger opponents will give you a higher score.

In the next few days all games played in the pre-season will be recalculated and you will be placed in the new ranking system automatically. Final rankings and placements may vary from the current ones!

The Leagues are in testing over the next few days, until the reset on November 1st where the first season and the first official tournament begin.

More details about the Leagues will be revealed after the testing period.

Spells and Equipment Changes

We have changed the level of some spells:

We have also modified the behavior of the card:3015. Now when it moves, during combat, to another minion, it does not replace its equipment but adds to it.

Spells Changes

We made a major change to the spell system. We didn't want players to rely too much on high-level spells so we introduced a restricted spell pool. The new spell distribution is as follows:

Level 2 14 copies
Level 3 12 copies
Level 4 10 copies
Level 5 8 copies
Level 6 6 copies

Played spells, just like traps and unlike minions and equipment, once played are burned and not put back into the pool.

An important change has been made to the Damage system.

From now on it will no longer be your Crew Level plus the Level of the surviving minions, but instead will be equal to your Crew Level plus 1 damage per surviving minion or 3 damage per surviving golden minion.
