I just tested that and it works. I will apply this, when I add the cards from lazylockie.

I've added most of your cards lazylockie.

The following cards had problems, that I couldn't fix:

Nacatl Hunt-Pride ("CARDNAME blocks each turn if able" does not exist yet)

The blocks each turn if able was working fine here on r6307

It looks like it exists on the AI side but not the Human side. Weird.

This should work correctly in SVN and the next beta, now that the hardcoding for adding a spore counter during upkeep has been removed. In the meantime, if anybody wants to add this into their 1-28 or earlier version, it'll get double spore counters, making it slightly less mediocre! Woohoo!

Probably true. It was quite the flop when it came out.

Not to hijack the thread, but - oh,. the heck with it, I'm hijacking the thread. But briefly.

I ran a comic and game shop when Fallen Empires came out; it was the first expansion we were able to stock (it opened in the summer of 1994, too late to get in on orders for any earlier sets). It actually sold really well, and was quite popular at the time, but its reputation faded pretty quickly as subsequent sets came out.

It had a few major problems. First, it was wildly overcomplicated by the standards of the day, and maybe even by modern standards. There's no way Wizards would put that many different types of counters all in one set, or block, or standard environment, now.

Second, the commons were more fun, and often just better, than the uncommons and "rares" (it used the U1 / U3 collation system). That made buying packs past a certain point pretty disappointing.

Third, it was available for years afterward, unlike any set before or most since. It had no mystique of being hard to get. *Any* card from the first four expansions was held in high regard in my area, because nobody had any. Fallen Empires cards were as plentiful as Cheeto-stained shirts at a gaming convention.

Fourth, Homarids.

Homarids sucked. And still do.

Still, I liked it, and I hope to find a few more cards from it to code. If only Forge's damage prevention API was robust enough for my beloved Combat Medic....

One thing that Zirbert didn't specifically mention was it was oversaturated. I could buy a booster pack of FE for a buck. That and the fact that each good common appeared 4 a sheet. Homelands was far worse as far as sets go.
