I hope you all can explore the new synergies and mechanics in the update, and I look forward to seeing your feedback!
A little extra development info: I had also hoped to create a new updated trailer for the expansion, but I have not had the time to create it, and I wanted to get the update out sooner than later so I can start receiving some feedback. I have a pretty heavy course load this semester so it is not always easy to find time for development, but I will do my best to keep up with bug reports, feature suggestions, and new planned content!
Thank you to everyone who has tried out the game!
Until next time.
Upcoming: Orc Invasion!
The next major update is close to completion, and it will feature the new faction: orcs!
This faction focuses heavily on attack stats and introduces new potion synergy possibilties, health gain cards, specialized weapon synergies, and more. Other factions will gain a few new cards each as well as some much needed reworks, and there will be new treasures to incorporate into novel play-styles!
Everything should be on pace to release in ~10 days, but if you're eager to try out the new faction early, come stop by the discord! There are instructions for how to join in the beta branch there--it's quite easy to do. Discord link down below:

Quick update on the next patch!
I hope you're all enjoying a good holiday season. Just wanted to drop a quick update here for the upcoming expansion because I haven't posted anything in a while. It's been a busy December in terms of school work, but now that the holiday break is starting soon, I'll have more opportunity to focus on game development. The upcoming update is a bit behind schedule, so I'm anticipating a launch sometime in February. This will be the first major content update for the game which will introduce a new faction! I mentioned a potential smaller update to the faction resource system, but apart from some tweeks, I've decided to focus on that after the major update is out. There haven't been any small updates for the last couple months partly because of a lack of new users/bug reports, but also because I did not plan the builds very well and didn't come up with an architecture that easily allows for small updates while I work on the new content (I'll think about this more for the next major update).
That's about it for this announcement. Stay tuned for the next update, and happy holidays!

Closing remarks
I think the new army changes add a little more variety to combat without overcomplicating the gameplay. I hope that the mechanics can remain simple while allowing for complexity without demanding it. There's always more to be done, and in particular, I plan to update the army art a bit soon. With the army update out of the way, I will focus more on developing the next faction, and the only moderate update I anticipate between now and then will be an improvement on the current faction resource system--there will of course be numerous small updates along the way. I do plan for new existing faction cards and generals, but I haven't decided if I'll release any before the new faction. Thank you as always for the feedback and for playing the game! Until next time
