Guilds of Ravnica
Most of Guilds of Ravnica has been implemented and is available in this release. We're working hard on getting the last few cards added.
Token Changes
Some work that streamlines tokens is going on under the hood. This may be the cause of missing/incorrect token images if you notice any, though we don't expect there to be any issues.
Random Quest World
Added Randomized Standard Quest World with LDA archetype generated decks as duels and standard card pool - this is designed so that there is always a quest world representing the current standard metagame - with a standard cardpool and decks generated using the LDA archetype based deck generation. To access this mode, select the "Random Standard" world in the world selection dropdown.
In this world as well as the random duel opponents, there are randomly generated challenges of varying difficulty and of 2 different types. One type pits your standard decks against modern, legacy or vintage opponents, the other gives the AI a standard deck, but with a headstart of one or more cards on the battlefield.
Bug fixes
As always, this release of Forge features an assortment of bug fixes and improvements based on user feedback during the previous release run.
Online multiplayer functionality has been restored, but is still a Work in Progress. We do have a dedicated developer actively working on the online multiplayer feature.
"When you pay a cost" trigger for M19 cards don't work 100% correctly yet. We're still working on it.
Other known issues are here: https://git.cardforge.org/core-developers/forge/issues
Feel free to report your own there if you have any.
The Forge archive includes a MANUAL.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.
The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.
Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.
Once the Forge archive has been decompressed you should then be able to launch Forge by using the included launcher. Launching Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file in the past caused a java heap space error. Forge's memory requirements have increased over time and the launchers increase the java heap space available to Forge. Currently you can launch Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file without a java heap space error but this is likely to change as we add in more sounds, icons, etc.
- The Mac OS application version -
We haven't been able to distribute the OS X Application version of Forge in sometime. We've recently automated our release tools, and will continue to look in the viability of creating this file now that things are autoamted.
- Online Multiplayer -
For local network play you should only need two systems running Forge. One to host and one to join and play. For remote (over the Internet) play you will need to ensure that the port used (36743 by default) is forwarded to the hosting machine.
