Will Elements Make any More Elements?

I'm gonna say no to this.

Why add new elements when you can just increase the existing card pool?

New elements at this point and stage will just unbalance the game.

hm... acid, that's kind of water, but also kind of fire...
and energy is quite unique tho (unless u consider fire and light as energy)

it most likely will, but it would also be cool to see more elements, and it will only imbalance it for like a couple of months, and then everything will be fine-tuned again

i like the icons wich valimont made but i won't think there'll come more elements .

I seriously doubt that. There is a whole lot of work in bring in just one new element. First, you need the cards, at least 10. And there is no telling what those card would be, so it could heavily unbalance the game. Then you have to make the elements interface different to make room for the quanta pool, and the Element name in the beginning. You'd have to make room for it in the bizarre too.

But that also requires coding all the new mechanics of the card, and include new cards in already used mechanics such as Mutation and Hatch.

Then it adds the added depth of brand new strategies, and a ton of them at that. All in all, it would be a huge change, it could possibly even make the game worse.

New elements will be almost impossible to balance. They're more trouble than they're worth, so I'll say no.

I'm not sure I understand what Sir Valimont is trying to do there. Is he trying to suggest new elements, or is he just trying to trick the OP into thinking that there really will be new elements? He posted his icons in such a way that it seems those new elements will be implemented after the War.

self-advertising. See his post in the slave market too.

Anyway, somewhat irresponsible post - specify that it is your own fan art, especially in a topic clearly questioning about official releases.

You guys crack me up. If I made my new Element symbols look more hand-drawn would that suddenly make the post "responsible?"

In response to a previous post, I don't think there's much way for new elements to be introduced into the game. Much of the game balance -- quanta production in particular -- depends on the number 12. Imagine what would happen to Quantum Towers or Novas with 2 new elements, for example.

You said "cards will come shortly after War". To me, you seemed to be saying that Zanz really decided to make two new elements. If you didn't specify that those icons were self-made, then you were spreading false information. I once made two icons as a joke, and that post got edited by SG for spreading false information.

this is a bit un-related to the topic, but hey Bloodshadow, do i know u from somewhere? kongregate maybe?
also, i like the chinese

As much as i think we're ok with 12 elements, I fully support multi-elements cards... not like forest spirit, but with duo/trio quanta cost. They could be another category, like "other" and still not disrupt the balance of the game.

That was one of the first things I asked about when I got on the forums and was told rather politely it's not going to probably happen. That's not to say impossible, just very unlikely. But if it's any consolation, I'd love to see it happen myself
