I guess this doesn't make sense to me, This event card would be so much more useful if this wasn't in place.

Makes perfect sense to me, that's exactly the whole trick of the event card :P

Tower Shields/Long Swords are actually a solid addition to a deck, while Shields/Short Swords are meh, meaning you have to make your deck worse (adding them) to make it better (more upgrades)! I'd guess that's totally intentional or everyone would add 2-3 to each deck.

Question is: do you have to add the swords to a complete valid deck. Or do you need a valid deck AFTER the swords.

Facing and huh?  This should be fun lol

Question is: do you have to add the swords to a complete valid deck. Or do you need a valid deck AFTER the swords.

A deck of 15 in-element cards, 5 short swords, and 10 off-element cards is legal.  Taking -1 in-element card and +1 either short sword or off-element card makes the deck illegal.  If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Question : for docs :
Do we put the shields as event bonuses? Or leave error messages on?

Great question, and pay attention because this is super important and kind of complex:

During sdcp/deckbuilding that is currently going on, add the Short Swords/Shields in the "Events (+)" space of the sdcp tab.  Next round they will be removed using the "Events (-)" space, but I will not include these cards as in vault when seeding for next round.  The opening post says these cards are "not added to the vault", but they need to appear there temporarily or all deck codes will be errorific.

If you have any questions on the process, post here, find me in chat, or PM me.

OMG. Either time keeps up its somewhat good statistics vs other elements and beheads many of them. Or it will be crushed under the weight of their fury. I just need a cup of tea (and some popcorn).

Even though the RNG feels a bit unfair in the pairings (heh, after all our losses in round 5 we ran out of elite scarabs to sacrifice to the gods!), we'll figure something out and surprise a few teams! At the very least we'll work hard and do our best, as we've done in all previous rounds... it usually paid off!

I'm used to getting the super crappy matchups. Best of luck to you in this round.

[ralouf]

Yep lol time got the hardest matchups I've ever seen in war ^^

Entropy got it pretty bad this time too, with 2x general 4x lieutenants.  But yeah... ugh!  I'm just happy that my time vs earth match is against a soldier, the only soldier time faces this round!  It is statistically more likely for earth/entropy/time to be facing a lot of them, since most of the soldiers left in war now are on those three teams, but even so, this is going to be hardcore :p
