Fixes/Features:

- This version should contain Juzamjedi's draft files again.
- AI should always try to attack with creatures that have "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice CARDNAME."

- Snacko fixed a bug with the AI targeting code of Firebolt.

Nice! Trying it now....

Where's the 3th pet? I just see [Beasts] (for wolf) and [Nursery] (for plant)

And what does this button do? (DIDI, do NOT push that button!)... (See attachment)

Thank you for the Eldrazi, Time of Heroes and Reanimate...

Ahh, this is for switching between pets. The second pet becomes available after maxing the Wolf.

I noticed the following issues still present with this version:

Testing with a deck of rats agains cpu with same deck.
When all rats have fear, the cpu attacks with rats, even though I'm a lot stronger (he has 1/1 rats, I have 3/3)
But, I understood why... I could not block.
If I'm correct, fear can be blocked with artifact or black creatures or with other fear creatures.
I also had rats with fear and could not block.
So currently, fear makes your creatures unblockable!
EDIT: apparantly, it seems like the FEAR does start acting correctly a few turns after it kicked in.
I was able to block rats with my rats after a turn or 2

The other issue lies with many enchantments.
You can't target them as they are played as sorceries.
For example, Animate Dead or Lignify which end up in the graveyard after being casted.
The cpu uses lignify on my creatures and I can't target the enchantment to remove it.
Same with animate dead, I need to kill the creature instead of disenchanting.

If these were already reported, my excuses. Didn't search before as it's late...
gn8 :p

Thanks for the very quick "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice CARDNAME" AI fix!

all rarities for Forge 05-10-2010

This archive contains updated rarity files for Forge 05-10-2010. I added the missing rarity values for the new cards that were included in Forge version 05-10-2010. 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.

As of version 04-11-2010 another set of rarity file appears in the /res/draft/ folder. You can if you want, move a copy of the all rarities into this folder but this will include every card your potential draft pool. Draft mode will likely be more fun if you place rarity files that include a limited set of cards into this folder.

Is it intentional that milling a player in quest mode no longer gives the bonus +100 credits?

No, I messed up. Someone reported that the bonus happened when the computer won through milling... so I tried fixing this but I got it the other way around (and now it will only actually work if the computer mills the player). Ugh, anyway I just fixed it for the next version.

MadBat wrote:If I'm correct, fear can be blocked with artifact or black creatures or with other fear creatures.

You are almost correct, but it's just: creatures with fear can be blocked by black and/or artifact creatures. Having a red creature with fear does not make it able to block another creature with fear.

Will there be pictures for the new tokens created through the bazaar?

Ah, yeah I forgot to upload those. Anyway, I'm on a diff PC now but I'll post them later today.

S.orry Dennis, but the same turns out to happen for Battle of Wits, so other alternate wins might also be affected (though I can't think of any more in Forge at the moment). On the other hand, this bug does partially compensate for the rather meagre constant 10-credit bonus for winning the first two games of a match. (You have not lost once! Bonus: +10 credits. You have earned 851 credits in total.)

While we're on the subject, I thought some new special wins would be a cool possibility like some elements of the Fantasy quest...

Imagination wrote:

• Win a handicapped game.
• Win without ever controlling a creature.
• Win without ever controlling a non-mana-producing permanent.
• Win before your Nth turn.
• Win without attacking (Shining Shoal et al. are allowed).
• Win without losing any life, hence no Necropotence, Volcanic Fallout, etc. Gaining life does not restore this status.
• Win while the computer's life is at least 20 lower than its value at the beginning of the turn.
• Win after taking mulligans to zero (currently not allowed).
• 'Epic': Win without casting a spell (in reality quite easy against certain decks; think about it).

These would be worth different numbers of credits, of course, and ideally could be handled by simple flags reset whenever a game begins, which I tried to keep in mind for the examples. If other people have more ideas, please share them.

How about poison counters, Helix Pinnacle, Barren Glory, Epic Struggle, Felidar Sovereign, Near-Death Experience? Or even Klaas, Elf Friend ?
