AFAIK, there will be a turn timer, but it's not prioritized (i.e. no date).

Meanwhile, just play several matches at the same time. That's probably what they do.

New Eclipse update is out.
Bankruptcy bug is fixed.

Looks like the update swallowed the game I was in :( or maybe ray spencer timed out, it's been his turn for a while!

You got me excited for a second, thinking they actually patched the game again so soon and fixed it so you don't have to decide on trading resources to pay for bankruptcy before un-influencing tiles. The patch from last week fixed some huge problems (after four months of waiting), but IMO the game is still unplayable (competitively speaking) until they fix the other bankruptcy problem and make it so we can see what other players did on their turns.

There is a new update.

There are spells that work against armored creatures (some better than others though):

  • Botanimate
  • Dreadbolt
  • Frozen Solid
  • Grave Pact
  • Touch of Blight

Been trying some of these out, and I'm still not convinced. I generally try to avoid spells that limit by level since they are useless unless you take the time to level them up in the early game (which is often inefficient). So then you either have 2-3 of these cards wasting space in your deck (and leveling all of them) or you risk not drawing it when you do need it. So yeah, there's a counter, but you have to specifically plan for it. And playing random people, you never know when an armored deck will show up.

I'm still playing around with my Temp / Nek deck, though. Maybe I'll figure it out. I guess I might keep a Frozen Solid in there as a hail mary. I started keeping stats, and of my last 20 games I've won 65% with 70% of my losses coming from Alloyin decks.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Common guys, its been over 2 week for these rounds :p

I'm pretty sure there's something off with merc :lol. He's taken like 1 turn in the last... 4 days. I'm not saying I've been taking a LOT of turns, but definitely more! :D
 
Just re-re-sent AstroLad an NH invite for Round 7 since the second attempt at our game has also disappeared off my game list. If this one disappears again, I'll forfeit so we can keep the tourney moving along.
 
Nope it has people's GC name beside their GAF name listed on the bracket.

Superrobot is diesel pioneer on GC.

Your SW match was with tm24, your NHex game is with superrobot.
Yikes. I missed seeing Round #7, probably scrolling past all that SolForge chat :p
Hit me (Diesel Pioneer) with an invite.

LOL.

I just won a SolForge game that I was down 1-100. Not joking. I had basically already given up. Then it was my turn and I had a level 3 echowisp in my hand so I figured I may as well play it. Turned the WHOLE game around and had won like 4 turns later. Insane.

Yeah, I've won after being down to 3-100 before my robot deck started rolling. It's fun, but risky as there's several cards that will hit your face or give him breakthrough.Luckily, in your case, he had none.

I was playing against a Nekrium/Uterra deck, so luckily he didn't have any direct damage, agressive or breakthrough. It felt good lol.

And for those not familiar with LoW, a Tabletop ep - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7DvEIfrP84

Playdeck also announced an adaptation of Scoundrels of Skullport, which they mention in the vid too.

I cant wait for this. I really wanted to try to play this game at PAX, but I just ran out of time.


Anyway!

Good game. Those purple guys are dope. Wish I had played them more before that game, seem like they could have some cool net tactics.

Yeah you had a super shitty start, especially for the green guys. Never really got to use your HQ extra attack and I got some nice units that forced you to limit that power even more by having to go to the corner. I don't think your draw really gave you a chance to win, which is kind of lame.

If I fail to respond to a challonge in a timely matter please PM me to wake me up. I've been on all day conference calls for the last two weeks so I'm not keeping up as much as I usually do. Thanks!

Maybe. I was thinking "I'll have loads of dudes at the end. Nothing can go wrong now!"
Terror came at the wrong time too. You were probably out of sight by then though.

Quick query: in Elder Sign how do you unlock further characters? Or are the IAP?

The Ithaqua and Cthuhlu expansions are well worth it if you like the game.
