moar wild speculation

Negative levels?....oh no, no, no......worst thing.....level draining monsters!!

 

And anti-matter tokens!

 

c'mon Blue Manchu folks, feed us a new blog about next expansion pretty please ?

 

I wildly speculate, that AI is not as big as EttSC. Nevertheless, I don't expect to see any official launch posts anytime soon. (One of the) First Emulio tweets about EttSC was on December 9th, 2014. Seven months before EttSC finally launched.

Back to Twitter stalking:

Scatter Laser on steroids?

So AI monsters have many attachment cards to play with?


https://twitter.com/RudolphoCH/status/663816856680202240

So portals to other dimensions / maps / tiles or specific spawn points for monsters?

Hmm... sounds that we get to play with preconstructed PCs. Or do the new cards make character / party ordering more important?

 

Scatter Laser returning to un-nerfed form. (It was originally very effective. Just add buffs.)

 

(I'm not giving up on dinosaurs!)

PC *must* mean Pachycephalosaurus Cards. And surely such a mighty charger must come with a card called Devastating Charge?

Initial AI 1.1 work was tweeted on 22nd October. A month later we're up to 2.1 and 2.2. Are they references to scenarios and adventure modules or something else?

Scenarios, boards and monsters are all in plural. Earlier there have been tweets about new cards, so AI seems rather big.

New pre-heal trigger and spawn only when full health restriction were mentioned earlier, so maybe this is related. Interesting!

 

Lots of commits to AI recently. Some highlights:

I wonder if these are for AI or Holiday...

 

Alien Invasion, obviously. All campaign quests and cardotrons now have an additional mob of aliens with Almighty Laser Thrust (step 1, damage 20 + erratic damage, penetrating, unblockable) and Almighty Fireball (burst 3, damage 10, burning 10, duration 3)

 

So far in January, we have got commits to new card (art), board tiles, even more card art, new figure, new tiles and broke a new hundred with build 3.101.0.

Most importantly, we got this:

Surely board edges and doodad fix means that whatever AI is, it's almost ready. Just a bit more polish and other finishing touches?

 

If it's not an expansion, maybe. If it is an expansion, that seems overly optimistic.

 

By now, AI must mean Anticipation Increasing. Oye....

 

So according to Jon (from world chat), AI is near completion, if not already

 

Really??!

 

You're always the last to know?

I'm guessing Jon said it was almost ready for testing or first draft is done or just one of modules/items/monsters is done.

 

More AI news from Rudolpho Emulio (@RudolphoCH)!

Work on AI 3.X (boards, cards & monsters), NEW UNBUFFABLE keyword and AI ITEMS (to collect?)!

Anticipation is truly Increasing...

 

Unbuffable, that rings a bell... in which nerf context did we throw it around again?
Edit: Found some loose brainstorming here - http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/suggestion-slashes.7266/#post-88302

 

It'd be nice if it was Almost Integrated....
Alas, more impatient waiting for us all.

 

• AI card(s) with encumber effect confirmed: "Modified encumber amounts and durations on some new cards."
• New card bugs and fixes
• AI (3) is now shiny! "AI 3 polish"
• Added enemies only flag to a new card.
  
• Dev builds

 

No no, AI 3 is from Poland.....

Those poor Dwarves with Encumber must feel like Alienated Individuals...
