Elements 1.4

[farscape]

Thank you Zanzarino for this major development! I love the new map-interface for the AIs.

I knew Zanz would create something to draw me out of the woodwork eventually.

Oh yes.

Oh look! Its Essence!

And this is why such overhauls are great. It adds something for the old veteran players.

Heh, so I'm not the only one...

[asymmetry]

YES.

Late to the party, as usual, but how exactly will saving work in 1.4?

i havent seen any activity on here for a while. hopefully this doesn't mean that 1.4 is dead in the water

It's only been a week or so since the last Zanz activity, so it might be a tad too early to make that prediction.

Really, what was his latest activity?  I haven't seen much of a change or word in what feels like a month.

What beef is trying to say, is that if you look at a user's profile, you can see when he/she was last online.

Development Bugs and Annotations
- Some arrows of hexagons are missing, when the player moves to the southern borders of the world (e.g. 86.6;106.2). They work, but are not displayed.
- When I played against Akebono Minions, I won. Then I played against Akebono and lost. I somehow came into a loop, where I always played against Akebono Minion and werent able to go back to the map, I always got that minion again.
- Low-level enemies cost less than 5 and give back 5 as a reward for voting. Should the rating system be implemented in real game, this is a possible exploit (play-lose-vote-play-lose-vote...)
- Rewards dont seem to be balanced, yet. There are e.g enemies with <50 HP - quite easy to defeat. And they give upgraded spins. Even 1 upgraded spin is too much.
Halfbloods could be somehow compared to 1 upgraded spin, 2 unupgraded.

I just came back today after a long break from the game. I tried the v1.4 in the training mode, and I am not sure if the new interface is the right direction for this game. I played the game because it was fun to collect the cards, build decks, and challenge different opponents (btw, the arena was a great idea), but I got bored eventually because there are not many cards. The game just needs many more cards. The current interface is fine to me.
