Hmm... Just noticed that is just says playing in an environment. So even games where we lose can be added?
Wouldn't have it any other way! ![]()
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Since you can choose the heroes and villain, if I made it only wins, many people would choose a great team against a weak villain. I didn't want that. To complete the series once (you can do it more than that), you need to play 12 games. I would much rather you played 12 interesting and fun games, than having an auto-win on everyone. As long as people don't purposely lose to input games faster, have fun and enjoy yourself this weekend.
I'm glad you don't have to win all the games, as sometimes you just get screwed. But maybe to make it more sporting, say that a player can only complete one "set" at each difficulty level. I doubt that anyone's actually going to play 48 games, but if they do, the last four have to be against IL, The Matriarch or The Chairman, or possibly advanced versions of various 3s. And if they want to loop a fifth time...
That is good to know, I'll have a lot more fun putting together a theme match for each environment than I would have grinding out wins.
I'll still playing random, only difference is I will check off environments that have already been completed, just to ensure that every environment gets a go.
Ah, foo. I'd been about to count my living campaign game 3D, then caught the Friday start time. Delete the row, I guess.
12 HOURS UNTIL GAME TIME!!!
Oh man, just realized it starts central time, so that's 1am here. I won't get any in tonight.
IT BEGINS!!!
So I'm doing an idea I had a while ago.
Each game will be 2 heroes and a support deck at (H)=3. Each match is based around a nemesis pairing, the main Hero gets to bring a friend, and then I pick a support deck that isn't overpowered and has thematically solid character cards. (the support deck is 5 Hero Character cards on their incap side, they count as the third hero, on the support deck turn each hero picks an incap from the top card, then discard it, when the deck is empty it gets reshuffled) I'll do one for each environment.
I imagine these events to be part of an "Alternate Destiny" line of one-shots that don't affect canon.
I'll log them all here if anyone wants to look and see how they go.
#1. The Block: Vengeful Baron Blade (adv) vs. Legacy and Bunker (AZ, F6tempest, Tachyon, AZ, Waith)
The freedom 5 assembles, Baron Blade has gotten loose in the Block and they need help containing him. Little do they know they are walking into a trap. The rest of the team is seperated from them as Baron Blade springs his trap, and his chance at vengence is at hand.
Result: Blade wins. Probably shouldn't have played him on advanced.
#2. The Final Wasteland: Akash'Bhuta vs. The Argent Adept and Ra (Fanatic, EHaka, Tempest, The Scholar, Visionary)
The Argent Adept woke up, and looked around him. "Quiet my friend, it hunts us still." Blake was gone from the face of his ally, the being before him burned with the power of a god. "We have to face it, it's the only way to end this." Anthony replied, "I am ready." Ra thought of the friends they had lost since falling through the portal into this cursed land.
"Then let us face this destiny together."
Result: Easy win for heroes, Akash at (H)=3 is weak, esp. non-advanced.
#3. Insula Primalis: Ambuscade (adv) vs. Haka and Bunker EOW (Tachyon, TempestF6, Fanatic, Ra, Adept)
Haka stepped off the plane with Stephen Graves.
"Thank you for helping me, we cannot allow the hunter to kill these animals, they are the last of their kind." Haka said to the one man who could stand toe to toe with him.
"It's the least I can do, I must atone for the wrongs of my life."
Result: Ambuscade wins. 3 quick Obsidian fields made it a quick match a last turn chain of cards for Ambuscade won him the match, he was dead if we lived.
#4. Megalopolis: Omnitron (adv) vs. Omnitron-X and Unity (Expat, RCWraith, Legacy, Visionary, Tempest {no play a card abilities})
"Where are you taking me?" Unity asked the robot from the future.
"You must follow. You must help." was the reply she got.
He led her to the Entrance of a large warehouse that had all sorts of warning signs on it. When the doors opened she could see why they were there.
"I thought it was destroyed. . ."
"Intruders must not survive." The massive machine rose up, the building folding and twisting into the sides of the robot.
Result: Omnitron wins. No equipment for Unity and 2 EPE's early on for Omni made it a quick game. Crappy game all around.
#5. Pike Industrial Complex: Friend of My BiL was over, we played a game in Pike vs. the rat, didn't follow the nemesis mode, but we won. Fanatic Legacy Visionary and Adv. Rat had Fanatic at +4 before TtE, she did 40 damage to Rat round two. (16 self damage)
#6. Realm of discord: People still over, did Gloomy (adv) in Realm of Discord with Nightmist, Fixer and RC Wraith, win by knocking out Gloomy's health, Nightmist redirecting portal fiend while Wraith fed the environment trash.
#7. Rook City: Tried my Spite remake, really liked it, was a nasty match, but quick.
Er…was this information you were supposed to keep to yourself for a few more months? O_o
I think phantaskippy meant Bomber Blade, not Vengeful.
But man oh man is her advanced flip side ever so painful at H=3
@Envisioner
You get 2 points the first time you play each environment. I changed the number for you.
Vengeful Baron Blade is the name I keep getting for the Promo. Mad Bomber is just his first side.
Yeah, I was remembering that, so I decided to go normal, but normal that side is weak. I flooded the field with cards and took so little damage.
Of course Adept getting off two power chains each round is a bit sick, he benefits more from support decks than other heroes.
Vengeance Environments:
First one I'm thinking another structure, like a base or something.
Second one will be outside, we don't have a frozen Environment yet.
well the freedom 6 variants of Bunker and Wraith teamed up with Mr. Fixer to take on Advanced Akash Bhuta in the Realm of Discord. it was a very close and painful game, and despite being ensnared for much of the game Mr. Fixer was by far the mvp. Poor Wraith failed to make it to the end. It was a strange game as none of my opening strategies came to fruition and I ended up using a few card combinations for the first time ever. It's great that i'm still finding new stuff to surprise me after gawd knows how many games!
I'll try to log the game and hopefully get a couple more in this weekend :-)
What was a strange card combination that you havn't used before?
