attack 1
health 3
instant arrival

or pay 10 mana instead and it comes in as a

and pay a mana and move 3 spaces instead of one

I like the idea of haaving a choice on the payment of the creature

DRUID’S GROVE (Event)
3 wood

Transforms your castle into Druid’s Grove.

5 armor
80 health

+1 Wood Storage

Draw – 24 sec: draw a card.
Expand – 60 sec, pay 1 resource: increase storage of that resource by 1.
Heal – 18 sec, 1 wood: heal any animal by 3 health.

Topic: Card Suggestions

FORTRESS (Event)
2 wood, 2 stone

Transforms your castle into a Fortress.

5 attack
6 armor
100 health

+ 5 Max Population

Draw – 24 sec: draw a card.
Expand – 60 sec, pay 1 resource: increase storage of that resource by 1.

Increases current and max population by 5 and adds attack capabilities to Castle.

Topic: Card Suggestions

ELVEN TOWER (Event)
2 wood, 2 iron

Transforms your castle into a Elven Palace.

4 armor
80 health

+1 Iron Storage
+1 Wood Storage

Draw – 24 sec: draw a card.
Expand – 48 sec, 1 wood, 1 iron, or 1 gold: increase wood, iron, or gold storage by 1.

This would immediately increase iron and wood storage but not allow expansion future of stone storage, at least via this method. Expansion of all other resources occurs at a slightly faster rate.

Topic: Card Suggestions

NECROMANCER’S TOWER (Spell)
3 mana, 2 stone

Transforms your castle into Necromancers Tower.

3 armor
60 health

Draw – 24 sec: draw a card.
Expand – 36 sec, 1 stone or 1 gold: increase stone or gold storage by 1.
Mana Tap – 18 sec, 1 population: gain 1 mana.

This would make stone and gold expansion quicker, but not allow expansion of other resources. The castle becomes slightly weaker, but also has the bonus ability to generate mana.

Topic: Card Suggestions

I like the possibility of different towers too, but think allowing people to START with a resource cap of 2, especially wood, iron or stone, would be extremely overpowered.

Maybe a card that transforms your castle into another building with slightly different abilities would be a way to go. For example…

@vlad: Alternate castles is a cool idea. It would take, however, some effort – I add it to my (very long) todo-List.

Here is the speeds table

Movement

Artefact Play: 5
Spells Play: 0

Production: 12, 18, 24, 36, 48

Production Speed is not explicitly named on the card, and there are exceptions.

Topic: Card Suggestions

Would it be possible to make alternate castles, e.g.

1. Elven Palace- stores two wood, 1 iron, no stone
2. Mages Guild stores nothing, but generates mana at a fast rate
   It would help to make decks more flavorful.

Topic: Card Suggestions

Is it possible to have cards that produce a certain effect while they’re in play?

It is planned, but not possible yet :(

I like your idea of unique cards very much. The feature to have your own collection, however, should come first – so rarity becomes important too.

Another idea is to give a card a specific power value and have a limit on this value per deck. Say a standard card have a power value of 10 and there are very powerful cards with a value of 20, so you have to but several low powered cards in your deck to afford the powerful one. Power ratings could even adjust automatically.

The speed times are fixed. I will post the table here…

Topic: Card Suggestions

Fortify
2 stone
Increase friendly building armor by 2.

Topic: Card Suggestions

Are there specific times for attacks and movement?

For example…

Very Fast = 5 seconds
Fast = 10 seconds
Normal = 15 seconds
Slow = 20 seconds
Very Slow = 30 seconds

…or is it a range?

Very Fast = 5-9 seconds
Fast = 10-14 seconds
Normal = 15-19 seconds
Slow = 20-24 seconds
Very Slow = 25+ seconds

I just made up the numbers of course. Is there a list anywhere of what these times specifically mean though?

Also, is it possibly to alter these times? Such as…

Slow
2 mana
Targeted enemy unit’s attack and movement speed reduced to slow.

or

Slow
2 mana
Targeted enemy unit’s attack and movement speed reduced 2 levels (with a maximum amount).

or

Slow
2 mana
Targeted enemy unit’s attack and movement speed increased by 10 seconds (with a maximum amount).

Blizzard
5 mana
All enemy units attack and movement speed increased by X.

UNIQUE CARDS

I’m not sure if you have plans or not to limit the number of certain cards allowed in a deck. Some cards are very powerful and usually very expensive to get into play. You might want to make these cards Unique, meaning that only one of these cards is allowed per deck.

Cards like LIGHTNING STRIKE are very powerful, especially considering it only costs 2 resources. Allowing 4 of these in a deck seems a little too powerful to me. This is just one example.

Also, some cards have specific names, such as…

Arina, the Psychic
Lexa Quickblade
Matus, the Ancient Sage

These cards aren’t exactly strong, but they are given unique names. You might want to consider making them Unique as well. I’m not sure whether you are planning for players to have access to all cards. If not, then these could be Unique cards. You could make another silimar card and make the current named cards a slightly better variation at relatively the same cost. For example…

Psychic
1 gold, 1 mana
2 attack
4 defense
Transcend – 24 sec: gain 1 mana

Arina, the Psychic (Unique)
1 gold, 1 mana
3 attack
5 defense
Transcend – 18 sec: gain 1 mana

or slightly more expensive

Arina, the Psychic (Unique)
1 gold, 2 mana
3 attack
5 defense
Transcend – 18 sec: gain 1 mana

Topic: Card Suggestions

Is it possible to have cards that produce a certain effect while they’re in play?

For example…

WEAPONS MASTER (can’t think of a good name)
6 attack
8 health
While in play, all units gain +2 attack.

I don’t know much about coding, but I would think this would be fairly easy to implement, at least on the front end. When the card is activated, just add +2 attack to all units. The trick might be the coding for when the card is destroyed. When the card is destroyed or disbanded, it will have to subtract -2 attack from all units.

If this is something that you are able to code, there are countless possibilities. Such as…

FORTRESS

6 attack
3 armor
30 health
While in play, increases the current and max population by +5.

For example, a players population is at 28/30 when the card is played. Population increases to 33/35. If the defender is destroyed with a population of 31/35 then the population is either reduced to 26/30 or 30/30 (depending how you want to handle the mechanics of the card). Current population can not exceed max population.

I’m not sure whether or not you have plans to limit the amount of specific cards in each deck. Right now there is a limit of 4 of each card per deck. This might be a card that should be limited to 1. This of course is a whole different suggestion. See following post.

Topic: Card Suggestions

Hey deadwolf,

great idea with the storage-reduction. I will definitively build the Lumbermill (or a similar card). I also agree there should be more options for resource management. The only thing I dislike, are the random effects. I dont want to have additional randomness, there is already the card draw.
But I can easily do the Lumbermill like +1 wood storage, -1 stone storage (without random effect).
Anyway, you have to wait some time for the new cards. My cards-TODO-list is veeery long.
