Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Small release with some updates to the 01/17 version. Cascade is pretty experimental still, also I made a lot of changes to Fastbond / Exploration / ... without testing too much. Might be some bugs there.
2655 cards in total.

Features/Fixes:

- Rob added Scry keyword (although, I guess we don't have any cards yet that use it).
- Chris fixed the picture displaying code (on Linux and OS X systems).
- Fixed Gerrard's Verdict (it should trigger Megrim, Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, etc.).
- Rob and Chris changed the "Cantrip" keyword to "Draw a card."
- Fixed Guilty Conscience / Stuffy Doll combo.
- Hacked in Cascade, in most cases, it seems to work (AI can use it too!).
- Added Intimidate keyword.
- Propaganda effects only apply to creatures attacking a player, not planeswalkers.
- Black Lotus will get sacked before its ability resolves.
- Hopefully fixed Thopter Foundry for AI.
- Fixed Cumulative Upkeep code.
- Fixed a small bug with Fastbond (it would sometimes subtract more than 1 life).
- Fixed some big bugs with Fastbond, Exploration, Azusa, Lost but Seeking (computer won't be able to use them if it doesn't control them).
- AI should lose life when using Fastbond now.
- Fixed Thwart text.
- Fixed Drekavac.
- Fixed Mold Adder.
- Added missing property file, the blank menu option should be fixed now.

Thanks a lot my friend for the update! I hope i won't face more severe performance issues this time

No probs! Well, performance-wise it should be the same as the 01/17 release.

ok fair enough,thnx anyway with the update and for trying to improve it!!!Good night

Bitumous Blast might not work - there's a "." in Cascade.

The cards.txt entry looks like:

Code: Select all

Bituminous Blast
3 B R
Instant
Cascade.
spDamageTgtC:4

`
so the keyword is in the text description line as there is no "no text" in there ... I remember play testing this and I seem to remember that the cascade effect still worked.

all rarities for Forge 01-26-2010

This archive contains updated rarity files for Forge 01-26-2010. I added the missing rarity values for the new cards that were included in version 01-26-2010. This set is not compatible with earlier versions of Forge.

This archive now contains only one set of rarity files. These files have had a rarity value assigned to all of the cards except for the basic lands, basic snow lands, and Rares three fantasy cards.

As of version 10-02-2009 these rarity files now go inside of the res folder and are now of no use to you if you place them in the root folder. You can place a copy inside of the res folder and a second copy inside of the quest folder.

Good update guys, thanks!
I can't help but grin at the way the kicker ability is worded on the new vampire card. "if it was kicked" Makes you wonder just where that foot went. hèhè.

Yeah, I got a "kick" out of the way that card is worded.

Cool! Thanks everyone!

I love Bloodbraid Elf, I hope that Cascade won't bring up serious bugs and issues with it.

The two new vampires also are worthy additions to any vampire deck.

I had to hardcode the check for Bituminous Blast, since spDamageTgtC:4 gets rid of the Cascade keyword. It definitely works.

Cool! Thanks everyone!

The Cascade cards *should* not really cause any bugs, except they don't correctly work in combination with cards that have Kicker, Buyback, Entwine (?).
Say I play a Bloodbraid Elf, and the Cascaded card is Capsize. Now, you could still cast the Capsize for free, but you won't be able to use its buyback ability by paying 3.

Maelstrom Pulse does not cascade correctly.
It requests you to pay the mana for it.

Yes, and ironically, the Capsize example I gave doesn't work at all
Even its first ability asks for a 1 U U cost to be paid... anyway, will fix.

Cascade and intimidate look very interesting. Thanks for the great update.

I know cascade must be pretty complicated. (I'm glad that you guys still enjoy working on Forge, god bless your frustrated souls. )

Kudos for the new release! I guess implementing the "cascade" mechanism was a pain...Thnx for the new cards too!We are looking forward for the newest release/update (i hope i am not so greedy )
