Tournament Update

The network situation is not cooperating with live streaming the tournament… but we will sneak in an occasional tweet @BurningBallista

Legion Builder Update: Shield Dwarf Fighter and bug fixes

We’ve added the Shield Dwarf Fighter cards to the Legion Builder:

We’ve also reworked some of the innards of the Builder to make certain types of special card rules easier to add , and provide better error messages, especially for cards that cannot be unequipped for some reason.

We have automated tests that should help make sure we didn’t break anything, but it was a complex change, so there may be bugs. If you find any problems, let us know!

Other changes:

  • Fixed a bug when saving/loading a Legion containing Corruption.
  • Cannot remove a creature from your Legion while it has upgrades. This was causing inconsistencies in some cases.

 

In other news… Maka and I will be at the Wizkids National Championship tomorrow afternoon, and we may be live streaming some or all of the “Meet and Beat” games with Andrew Parks and Manny O’Donnell! I say “may” because neither of us has ever attempted this before, so as long as we can keep the gremlins at bay, it could happen :).

Stay tuned to the site for more updates tomorrow!

 

Wave 12 Sneak Peek!

Dragonfly and I cornered Andrew Parks and Manny O’Donnell and got them to let us take a few pictures of one of the Wave 12 expansions:

Legion Builder Updated in honor of the Queen of the Evil Dragons

Quick update, if by ‘quick’ I mean ‘crikey this card was a pain in the neck’.

  •  Queen of the Evil Dragons should now correctly deal with Breath Weapons not taking up slots.

It will add new empty Dragon slots when you have Queen and breath weapons equipped. For now, it won’t allow you to unequip Queen if there are any breath weapons equipped, even if there are enough empty Dragon slots. We’ll fix that later if we can, to make it less confusing.

Other fixes to bugs sent in by readers:

  • Haste’s cost should now work again, after disappearing briefly.
  • Aerobat Amulet cost is now correct for Adult Bronze Dragons.
  • Fixed a typo with Tiamat.

 

WizKids @ The Game Manufacturers Association Trade Show

Images from the GAMA Trade Show, which runs from March 16th through 20th, have been floating around the web for the last few days. These images have given us some additional information.

We’ve tried to collect it here:

First, let’s start with the next Premium figure, Bahamut!

The Bahamut figure can be seen over at figures.com (along with lots of other figures)

Bahamut

Bahamut, image from figures.com

 

If you zoom in on that image and squint a bit, you can make out some of the details for Bahamut:

He has 3 Dragon Upgrade slots, 1 Arcane Upgrade slot, and 1 Divine Upgrade slot, a Primary Weapon Value of 6, an Agility of 0, 10 Health, and 4 Armor. He has Dodge, Feint, Target, and Concentrate on his Action bar and his unique ability is:

All other friendly Good Creatures within

Range 1 of Bahamut roll +1 attack die.

So Bahamut seems like he would work best as a team player in a large Legion. Of course, he is another figure on the huge 6″ by 6″ base, so there’s limited room on the battlefield for allies … there’s also limited room on a 120 point Legion, as Bahamut costs 84 before you give him any upgrades.

There have been quite a few other pictures which reveal information. Over on boardgamegeek.com, user Michael Van Biesbrouck apparently has much better eyes than me and has pulled this information from the pictures:

[Adult] White dragon upgrades sitting on the shelf: Vicious (disables upgrades of your victims — probably from melee, but covered), Frozen, Evil Sorcerer (4-point dragonrider that will add an extra Arcane slot and has a 3DT ability I couldn’t make out) and Brooch of Shielding (3-point campaign artifact; +2 defence dice against spells and protection from Magic Missile).

Young Blue [Dragon]: 3/1/3/1 stats at level 4. Evade, target and concentrate.

Pegasus: 3/3/4/0 at level 12 (36 points, Bellatoris?), level 7 (28 points) for the generic. Evade, charge and feint … wonder how it will deal damage. 4 Monster slots. Name has +? defence dice against ranged attacks.

Adult White [Dragon]: 4/1/5/1 at level 8 with the ability to turn a concentrate into a hit; evade, charge and target. 3 Dragon and 1 Arcane slots.

Water Cult Warrior: 3/2/4/0 at level 9, all actions except charge.

Earth Cult Warrior Level 7, 3/1/?/? evade/charge/target.

WizKids also talked about its upcoming Organize Play events, including DNDAW:

Elemental Evil Organized Play

So we know we’re getting an Earth Genasi Fighter and an Air Elemental as prizes for the July and August Elemental Evil Organized Play tournaments.

Here’s a picture (original source unknown, but found on Facebook), just because I think the Pegasus looks cool:
