Patch 0.1.64 - New Cards!

New patch 0.1.64 is out on Steam :) Mobile coming the next days. Huge thanks to @IHSB15 @Mimpel @synesthesia for finding bugs and brainstorming new ideas + balance changes :heart: Special thanks to @IHSB15 for brainstorming and refining a LOT of new ideas with me :heart:

New:

• Another live queue change: the first 5 seconds someone enters the queue, they cannot find a game, in order for simultaneous queuing to work. This means that the queue can now go above 3:00, but if that happens someone else joined the queue in that time. Thanks a lot to @Mimpel improving this code :)

• Payment: You now always spend the full payment amount (not one by one gold) - if you have enough gold.

• New spell: Flash of Inspiration. Level 3, 1 gold, 1 mana. Roll a new shop with five level 3 characters, but you can only buy one of them. Payment 1: Increase the character levels by 1 (up to your level).

• New character: Nosferatu [Monster pack]. 3/3 Level 3 Evil Monster, costs 1 hp. Iron Will. Every 2 times you spend hp to buy a character or item, all your Monsters everywhere have +1/0. [space] Aura: Your Monsters have +1/1.

• Tentacle [Monster pack]. 5/2 Level 4, 3 gold. I am a Monster: I gain 75% of the buffs that specifically mention Monsters.

• Man O’ War [Monster pack]. 14/4 Level 6, 7 gold, 1 mana. I am a Monster: I gain 200% of the buffs that specifically mention Monsters.

• Dracula: wording and ability changed to two separate Auras (that can stack) for Evils and Monsters.

• The Kraken reworked to: 25/25 Level 6 Evil Monster. Iron Will. I can carry 3 additional Tentacles. On Buy: Add one Tentacle to your shop. On Buy & Slay: Your Monsters everywhere have +3/2.

• Mosquito (item): Monster -> Base pack

• New treasure: Monstrous Vines . Level 2. Your Plants are Monsters and your Monsters are Plants. When you take me, give your Monsters everywhere +1/0.

• New treasure: Boiling Blood . Level 5. When you take me, heal all hp lost by buying characters or items. When you buy a Character that costs life, pay its life cost again. Aura: Your characters have +1/1 for every time you have taken damage. I have the same Aura for Monsters (can stack).

• New treasure: Flaming Aura. Level 2: Your Dragons have +0/3. Increase Dragonfire you spread by 2.

• New treasure: Wildfire Wave. Level 5. Your characters have +5/1. When you spread dragonfire, also spread 20% + 30% [only the 30% is underlined] to a random adjacent character.

• New treasure: Fairy Splitter [Light and Dark pack]. Level 5. Every second Star you fire, it gains +10% damage__ and hits __+1 target with it's damage split equally among all targets.

• New item: Dragon Claw [replaces Curved Sword: 3/0 level 2]. 2/0 Level 2, 2 gold. My wearer spreads 1 more Dragonfire. Entrance: Give my wearer Dragonfire 1 and “On Attack: Give the target Dragonfire 1 [becomes 2].”

• New item: Dragon Shield [Dragon Pack]. 1/10 Level 4, 4 gold. My wearer spreads 3 more Dragonfire. Entrance: Give my wearer Dragonfire 3 and "When I'm attacked, give the attacker Dragonfire 1".

• New item: Ball of Yarn [Nine Lives pack]. 0/2 Level 4, 5 gold. My wearer has “Dying Breath: Summon one Cat.” Activates after my wearer’s other Dying Breath abilities.

• New item: Jolly Roger [Arr! pack]. 4/4 Level 6, 6 gold, 1 mana. While I'm in your hand, Dying Breath abilities that affect your hand also affect me as though I were a character but with only 33% strength.

Balance:

• Fiery Lizard, Burning Tail, Ouroboros (on being attacked), Tarasque: Ability now also works on Ranged characters

Treasures:

• Broker's Brooch [-> Hoarder Pack] returns with most of its previous functionality (more value from selling multiple things) without being broken with the new Merchants. Reworked to: Every 3 -> four times you sell a card (max three times per round), gain +1 gold for the number of cards sold, then add 1 Straw to your shop. I ignore cards that sell for 0 gold.

• Godmother's Wand: Isn't guaranteed from Godmother anymore. Reworked to level 5: Your spells cost 1 gold less and targetable spells give +3/3.
