A Token War
Gameplay Update 6/26/23
Previously: losing any battle would consume 1 White Flag. Once you run out of white flags, the next loss resets your progress to the last checkpoint.
After this update: You can only lose a maximum of 1 White Flag per battle, meaning that the FIRST time you lose a particular battle you will use up a White Flag, but unsuccessful subsequent attempts will not.
This change does not impact True Strategist difficulty.
**This change will only take effect after the next loss on a battle for current campaigns, previous losses were not tracked so any in-progress campaigns can still lose one flag on a battle they have been stuck on.
The primary goal of this change is to allow players to spend time trying to figure out how to take on a given challenge, without being too punishing for failed attempts. The battles in a A Token War often feel more like puzzles, where the key to winning is figuring out the correct strategy rather than assembling the perfect army. Hopefully players will find that the new flag system allows them to experience the game more fully while still being challenging.
Small stabilization patch
A Token War - Versus Mode Patch - 8/2/2021
1.) Players can no longer place more that one Stronghold when in a versus match. Previously this would result in an invalid setup state, however, passing the turn could lock the invalid state and cause a whole host of problems.
2.) Fixed a bug where spells in versus matches would sometimes think they belonged to the opposite player, either preventing them from being cast at all or only showing valid targets for the opponent.
