Fated Kingdom
Update #35
Version: 0.6.38.193. Download Size: MB.
Last preparations for the release! In this small update to the Fated Kingdom digital board game, we fixed the problems associated with voice chat, and also changed several cards and squares to make the game more balanced. We also changed the effect of the two combat dice values that raised questions from the players.
Like last time, we did not add new cards. There are 193 of them in the game at the moment, and the last 7 will be available at the exit from Early Access. But we changed several existing maps by adding artistic notes to them. As always, subtle errors in texts and localization have also been fixed.
As for the release, we still can’t give an exact date. At the moment, we plan to conduct another sale, and release the full version immediately after it. Most likely this will happen in early November, after two to three weeks since now. We hope that you will be satisfied with the work that we have done in recent months!
Cards and Squares:
«Hornet Ring» card doesn’t give «Hit» in combat and costs 3 coins.
«Cemetery» square forces you to discard a creature, draw 2 cards and choose 1.
«Garrison» square only gives armor when you defeating a creature.
«Forge» square only gives weapon when you defeating a creature.
«Well» square heals one wound.
Other Changes:
Voice chat is working fine.
«Endurance» and «Insight» combat dice values trigger after the combat.
Flavor text for 4 cards: «Will of the Grave», «Amulet of Revival», «Arcane Shield» and «Fever Spider».
Fixed errors and typos in descriptions of more than 10 cards.
Minor text and localization fixes.

Once again, we have updated the digital board game Fated Kingdom. We had to slightly shift the patch release due to unforeseen circumstances. We want the game to be as stable as possible, so we decided to extend the work on the update for a week to complete all the planned fixes. This time there are quite a lot of them.
Since the work on the game content is completed, we did not add new cards and squares. They will appear after leaving Early Access. In the meantime, we want to introduce you to a number of balance changes. The most notable of these is the processing of the Knight class. Now he can buy items not only in the city, but also on the Road Sign square. His class item has also been strengthened to justify the high cost.
Cards and Squares:
«Hornet Ring» card gives the player the opportunity to choose only one ability from two.
«Knight Armor» card also grants Endurance in combat.

Text chat might not work for a player connecting to the server.
Cards in hand blocked objects on the table when using the camera zoom.
The game restart did not work correctly.
When the server was disconnected, the game freezes on the player connecting to the server.
The player kick option did not work.
Other Changes:

Some elements of the interface now appear smoothly.

«Spark of Betrayal» lit!
«Spark of Betrayal» - is the fifth major update of the digital board game Fated Kingdom. And this is the biggest patch that we have ever released. The main theme of the update - battles between players. Most of the new cards and squares somehow hurt other characters. Can you eliminate all competitors and take the throne of Kinmarr?
UPDATE FEATURES
10 new cards
Hotseat mode
3 new board squares
Refactoring and migration to new engine version
Rulebook and balance improvements
STORY
Undead, apocalyptic cults, ancient ruins captured by monsters - all these misfortunes put Kinmarr on the brink of existence. But what is their root cause? Some believe that this is the curse of the Old Kingdom. Others think that the profane research in the walls of the capital's castle is to blame. But others know that the reason is always the same - the human nature.
Even now, when there is no room for strife, people continue to be hostile. Animals do not rob merchants, and the undead do not care about other people's crops. On the roads of the kingdom dozens of thugs scurry about, and marauders gangs keep even big cities at bay.
Among the guilds, too, there are major disagreement, leading to bloody clashes during patrols. The guild Council is divided, even the Heirs doubt their king. It can not last long. One spark - and Kinmarr burned to the ground.
