Ardor news & patch notes

-Added new enemy Thresher -Added new enemy Meat Seamster (credit dragon_of_celts for idea inspiration) -Added 11 new levels into rotation featuring new enemies

-Fixed incorrect level progression bug introduced in last update (credit FancyGames) -Fixed incorrect card loot tables assigned to Masochistic Fodder

-Added new enemy: Masochistic Fodder -Added six new levels featuring new enemy

-Added number scaling for looted cards and enemy health in Endless -Added Auto-Decline Card option in settings

-Added new card: Nostalgic Boots -Upgrade menu now auto sorts cards by color (no sorting within colors however as of yet)

-Normal Mode and Endless Mode are now the same. Once you beat the final boss on a run, you are now given the option to start a new run or continue in Endless. -Added Settings option to start menu -Fixed crash when killing Grandmother Clock while Infested -Fixed issue where friendly Infested units would have shield wiped at the end of your turn, thus rendering them vulnerable during the enemy turn when their shields are needed.

-Added 9 new levels which comprise the level pool for Act 3; more will be added in the future to increase variety -Added new final boss for the campaign: Mommy Long Legs

-Added new Act 2 Boss: Grandmother Clock -Fixed bug where Mantra Weaver's attack pattern could become corrupted after flipping arena

-Added new card: Revolving Wand -Removed Opportunist enemy from Endless spawn list. It has a lot of unpolished/janky interactions with other mechanics, and it's just not fun enough to merit inclusion currently in light of those issues

-Changed directional card ability text to indicate directions by arrows rather than compass abbreviations -Fixed visual bug where previewing Fodderling Bow would show the potential Fodderling's missing healthbar portion as purple instead of black -Card attributes now have a less obtrusive outline when hovered over

-Fixed bug where number on player's armor icon would change height while targeting an enemy with armor (credit FancyGames) -Changed Lay Eggs attribute tooltip to mention that you click on turned enemies when you want them to move

-Added Low Graphics Mode toggle. So far this replaces enemies with static sprites and disables kill skull effect.

-Changed starting deck selection screen to card drafting menu, that allows you to create a starting deck from a limited selection of cards -Fixed bug where Follow Up didn't inflict Infest (credit Fancy Games) -Fixed bug where Egg Brothers attacks dealt no damage (credit Fancy Games)

-Changed Infest so that creatures already turned to your side will no longer resurrect again if they die with Infest -Improved speed of enemy turn in cases where framerate is below 60 -Fixed bug where exiting to Start Menu from deck selector screen would also initiate combat behind the Start Menu -Fixed bug where Infested creatures spawning already on your side (via Broodfathers or Drynurses, for example) would give teeth rewards upon death -Fixed bug where the Brothers Egg wouldn't heal when player used Blood Shield on them (credit Woodledude) -Fixed issue where cards with a kill count of 100 or higher would have the kill number obscured by the skull (credit Woodledude)

The Defile starting deck has arrived! Control dead enemies and fight indirectly, turning your foes into minions. Choose who you will contaminate with your loathsome influence, then make them turn on their former comrades. -New starting deck option, based around new Infest mechanic -Balance Tweaks: Clayless now starts at 4 damage per hex, Supple Boots now draw 2 at start, new runs now start with 60 teeth, and all enemies drop 3 additional teeth on death -Disabled levels with 2 Drynurses for now -Some optimization improvements

-Random seed implementation has been improved. -Added skull effect that flies from enemy corpses to cards to better highlight when cards get kills -Fixed bug where Feinting Boots didn't preview effect when hovered over (credit SuperSchwein)

-Repurposed Ultra Specific Boot cardart for Feinting Boots (credit Dwarian) -Card drop chances are now weighted differently for different cards -Fixed pause menu typo (credit Dwarian)

-Added new card: Fodderling Bow. -Added buttons in start menu for restoring save file from backup -Slightly changed damage preview display to indicate what direction an attack is pointed in. Fixed issue where 0 quantity damage generated from knockback would display. -Fixed bug where player could commit to an attack while hovering over unplayed cards, simultaneously starting the attack while getting refunded the card and stamina

-Upgrade Menu has been fully remade. It has been improved and streamlined into a single screen, which will hopefully be both easier to understand for new players and easier to use for experienced players. -Green number cost raised back up to 10, blue cost back up to 20

-Changed Follow Up so that it no longer inflicts knockback. This will prevent instances of players being unexpectedly killed by enemies being knocked back at turn start. -Fixed some code related to those deaths that could potentially cause a crash. This will hopefully fix crashes some players have experienced in relation to this issue. -Changed Drynurse spawn to prevent infinite farming. If the new duplicate is also a Drynurse, duplicate will drop no rewards. This is just a temporary solution for now.

-Fixed bug where Opportunists could move onto the same hex

-Added new enemy: Opportunist

-NethanielShade has very kindly launched a Discord and Subreddit for the game: http://discord.gg/5TTAp9KX http://reddit.com/r/ArdorTactics/ Come on over and join us! -Remade save system for cardart so that adding new sprites to the game will no longer randomize cardart from old saves. -Save files now have backups that lag behind current save files' progress by 1 step -If all goes well, you shouldn't notice anything change with this update. I had to make a converter that edits old save files to make them readable by new cardart system. Everything worked as it should in my own testing, but absolutely let me know asap if this messes with any saves.

-Act 2 is now live! Standard Mode is now double the length, running until a second boss. The pool of levels it randomly pulls from for Act 2 isn't as large as Act 1 yet, but that will change. -Window should now allow resizing when not in fullscreen -NOTICE: New sprites have been added, so old save files will populate your cards' art with the wrong sprites. It won't have any impact on gameplay, you'll just have randomly generated card art until you make a new save.

-Added new boss to level pool for standard mode: The Egg Brothers -Changed some infinitely spawnable enemies to Fodderling variant that doesn't drop any currency reward -Removed Bodyshield ability from Endless card loot -NOTICE: New sprites have been added, so old save files will populate your cards' art with the wrong sprites. It won't have any impact on gameplay, you'll just have randomly generated card art until you make a new save.

-Added new card: Incisor Sword -Added new card ability: Dreadful Visage -Fixed bug where Infusion could add corrupt card number color data that would cause a crash in the next combat -Changed card attribute tooltips to now only display if you hover a question mark on the card, reducing unwanted tooltip popup -NOTICE: New sprites have been added, so old save files will populate your cards' art with the wrong sprites. It won't have any impact on gameplay, you'll just have randomly generated card art until you make a new save.

-Added new card: Swapping Wand -Added new card ability: Bodyshield -NOTICE: New sprites have been added, so old save files will populate your cards' art with the wrong sprites. It won't have any impact on gameplay, you'll just have randomly generated card art until you make a new save.

-I've added a small donation DLC for supporting the game. As of right now it adds nothing and is purely for supporting the game, though at some point I'd like to make it add a Cut Content toggle to enable various enemies and card abilities that I've implemented then rejected for being too unwieldy. -Adjusted Infusion cost -Added new card ability: "Follow Up"
