Feature Requests Thread

[psillusionist]

I second the requests for an Undo feature (in case you clicked something wrong) and a 15-card sideboard feature which can hopefully be accessed after your 1st match.

Also, would it be possible to make the loser of the previous round choose whether he wants to go 1st or 2nd in the next round like the way they do it in tournaments?

[LutherBlissett]

I would love it if after you finished a match the deck selection screen remembered what deck you had selected.

And/Or save a randomised deck within the game.

I've been playing randomly generated decks in order to see some of the cards in action and it would be great to be able to save and replay that random killer deck.

[zerker2000]

Yes, and you have a lot more cards too, right?

[weirdingway]

Any plans for multiplayer against (and with) the AI?

It's ok if my AI partner(s) are not smart enough to know how to help me and just defend themselves.

Hmph. "...kind of debris to show enemy ship damage?" | "...expect us to rewrite the entire physics engine?" .

[DennisBergkamp]

With the change of the single check at the end of the attack phase for abilities triggering on attack (implemented a bunch of versions ago), I just added functionality to remove an attacker with a right click. It feels good to at least fulfill one of these requests

[zerker2000]

Yay! Any of the obvious bugs resulting from "whenever <description> attacks" <- Click Left-Right-Left-Right-Left-Right... present?

[DennisBergkamp]

Nope, I don't think so (since checks are made in the phase AFTER declaring attackers). However, cards that have "this creature attacks each turn if able" could potentially be prevented from attacking, so I'll have to fix that.

[Rob Cashwalker]

Can you also right-click a blocker to remove it from combat?

[DennisBergkamp]

No, not yet, because we don't check for triggers on creatures blocking in one place (it triggers as a blocker is declared). This would allow for some interesting cheats (ie block with Jedit Ojanen of Efrava, remove from combat, block again, remove, etc.). First we have to implement checks on block triggers at one single time (after all blockers are declared).

[silly freak]

how about removing compy's creatures from combat?

[DennisBergkamp]

Haven't tried that yet, but I don't think that's possible... computer's attackers are declared instantly, and the next input phase happens right away (during which attackers can't be added or removed anymore).

well i played a long time ago. so,, therefore i dont know some of the card abilities. some of them i've look at the help file and they aren't there. for instance:horsemanship,devour (found out that one the hard way),changeling,soulshift,wither (huh?),cascade,champion a creature, well you get the drift. yes ive noticed some "phrases" have turned into abilities etc. but well,, there's a lot of new concepts.

[Fallen]

Been lurking for a long time and finally decided to register. Let me start by thanking the entire development team for a fantastic bit of work

I've not touched real-life magic for almost 8 years now but I've always been following it through the internet and I must say that being able to play it on single player is awesome. Loved the microprose game but the interface is a bit clunky, so the sleek forge version is awesome.

But I digress, since this is a feature request thread, I was thinking if is possible to add sorting cards by set in the deck editor. Maybe even filter cards so that only cards from a certain block is available (i.e only cards for the standard WorldWake enviroment).

Horsemanship -- similar to flying, attacking creatures with horsemanship can only be blocked by creatures with horsemanship
Devour -- sacrifice any number of creatures when a creature with devour comes into play to get +1/+1 counters (multiplier defined by the creature with devour -- Devour 2 means the creature gets twice as many counters as the number of creatures sacrificed) and often some additional bonus
Changeling -- creature has all other creature types with any associated benefits or drawbacks
Soulshift -- when creature with soulshift X is put into graveyard you may return a spirit card with casting cost X or less to your hand
Wither -- damage from a creature with wither is applied as -1/-1 counters
Cascade -- when you play a spell with cascade you may reveal cards from your library until you come to a non-land card with a lower casting cost than the original spell; you may cast that spell without paying its casting cost
Champion -- when a creature with champion comes into play, you must exile (used to be remove from the game ) a creature with the appropriate characteristics. If the champion creature is removed from the battlefield (put into the graveyard, returned to hand, put into the library, or exiled), then the championed creature is returned to the battlefield
