[Implemented] Version 1.1 Voodoo update - New cards list

[Captain Jack]

Hi all,

Feedback please
The list is subject to change. This is why we post it here. So everyone can contribute his bit. This list is half-compiled by player ideas found on the forums. The other half has been compiled by us - in a hurry it must be noted. Some of our ideas have been affected by player ideas (older ones). In a general assessment, we are happy with the playerbase contribution in this list.

Simplicity preferred
We chose to avoid cards that would require huge work in the background. Some of the cards (Like treasure fleet) do require a lot of work but ultimately, they should not be a real struggle.

New card abilities
Three new card abilities will be introduced with this patch. Later on, we might add some of these abilities to existing cards.
These abilities are:
-Piercing - It allows a curse to ignore countercurse and mindbar based on chances.
-Flip a coin - Curse success has a primary success rate of 50% (instead of 100%)
-NoPirate - Curse cannot be used by Pirates.

Patch details
-30 new cards will be added. 29 of them are listed here. This leaves an empty position.
-The new set will have its own icon.
-The majority of these cards are based on themes in order to allow as many combos as possible.
-New functionality rules will also be introduced. Although not detrimental, they are not available in any of the previous cards (ie Choose a player other than yourself)

[Edward_Teach]

I think that Generosity should allow you to choose the amount you lose, also being the amount sent to the other person. Other than that great list, good job Jack, and to all the people whose card ideas are on it!

[Spastic]

The only problem i have with this list is Urban Legends.

It makes your a pirate instantly. Personally i find the mission boring and tedious when you are doing them too get back to a high rank in the same country. The card should either add hostility over a period of time, allowing the player to stop it, or as you progress up the ranks the hostility it takes to become a pirate e.g. Admiral - 80 hostility to become a pirate, Baron 85 hostility, count 90 hostility, marquess 95 hostility

i like most of the others. Whats the reasoning behind Iron Golem's naming.

[Shaydo]

It won't make you a pirate instantly? You have to choose a nation that isn't the target players current nation. i misread it the first time as well.
Only real use i can see for this card is to prevent someone joining a nation their not already part of?

[Spastic]

oh, didnt see that. My bad. I agree with what you say tho
