Troop Strength | Fangs & Forges

This is the video of todays episode "Troop Strength". Below the video I have the whole episode in text form for those who want to discuss it in here.

The Troop Strength value only affects the character cards of the "Warriors" class and expresses two important points: 1. How often you can have the respective card in the deck

2. How often you can stack the respective card

Of course, only identical cards can be stacked on top of each other to form troops.

If cards are stacked, single units become troops. In the case of a troop, the core values "attack" and "defense" of each card in the stack are added together. The core values "movement" and "range" remain unchanged despite stacking. More units mean more strength in terms of attack and defense. Just because several units join together, they can by no means move further or attack at greater distances.

Troops can perform actions just like individual cards. They can attack together, move together + they can separate again to occupy several fields. We will explain the actions of troops in more detail in one of the upcoming videos. Why did we implement Troop strength in our game?

We thought it would be cool if characters could be moved across the battlefield not only individually, but also as troops. As is the case in real battles, many smaller troops fight their own skirmishes during the war. This allows them to compete with cards of higher levels. This element offers many more strategic options that you will surely discover while playing.

What do you guys think about this episode? Let us know in the comment section :).

Seems like an really interesting idea i think! Will all races have Warrior-Cards?

Glad you like it :) I just see we accidentally used the wrong term. It should be called Level instead of Class. Yes, all races have exactly the same number of cards per level.

Each card is assigned a level. You can find more here under the Cards tab. And each race has the same number of cards per level to choose from.

The same rules also apply to the deck composition. You always play with on race - i.e. the deck always consists only of cards from the chosen race. Each deck must consist of a certain number of cards from each level.

For example each player has to choose:

20 Warriors

10 Pioneers

3 Masters

1 Hero

1 Guardian

3 Equipment

for his Deck.

I see i like that, brings a certain balance to all decks but leaves enough room for you own prefrences and playstyles. Cant wait to play an early version! 😜
