Still in progress, out sometime this month. It's taken a lot more work than expected, as I had to make a bunch of tweaks to the engine to make it possible. Large, randomized grids and a variety of new realm-specific features.

Once you get the maximum gems out of a world, is there any reason to set it up again, or is it best to just let it sit in a base state

From the Dev.
That one's Magic
Whoever has the higher Magic stat deals extra damage every round.
So if your Hero's magic is 5 and the Monster's magic is 3, the Hero will deal 2 extra damage every round, in addition to whatever it's dealing from Attack-Defense

WTF does the circle symbol on the heroes and monsters mean. Could you add some info about the math there. It seems that this value, whatever it does, has a very high value in some heroes which lowers the other values. But without knowing exactly what it is good for, combinations that don't use that are always better. I can't optimize for stuff I don't know how it works.

I've noticed that when I am on another tab, there is no progress at all. For an idle game, that's a pretty major problem

Please fix the ascension screen. When you reach the 50th gem Goal requirement on 1 resource, but cant ascend for max yet (49/50), it stops showing the Goal for the rest.
Sounds like you exported during the time when there was a bug with the exporter (Sunday through Wednesday of last week). If you e-mail me your save data, I can fix it for you. I'll PM you now.
Had a couple of delays due to the Steam version's release and QoL features, but development on that is in full-force now, to be out in the first week or two of January. If you're curious what's in this one: the vast majority of players in the Discord voted for a brand new type of expansion instead of another battle realm, so I'm putting the "PoW but more complex grid synergies" expansion on hold and doing this one first. With completely new mechanics, this one will radically change up the gameplay, just like PoW did.

For people having trouble with tier 2 as their highest tier cards, just use meteor and focus bonuses on it, you can easily reach 200/s

Moderately interesting putting together board layouts, but I'm honestly done after about 20 minutes at tier 2 cards already. Having my current optimal income at 110, it feels too low to justify buying more packs hoping to get something relevant before the next expansion unlock, and this feels like a ridiculously early point to have a 15 minute wait before I have anything to do.

My save data is lost... I'm back to 1 Ghoul, no expansions, no gems. Are there no cloud saves and it can just be locally wiped for whatever reason? Didn't clear cache or anything like that either.
Well, I didn't make manual back ups so if it can't be recovered I guess that's it for me. May this serve as a heads up for those who care to make regular manual exports.
Damn. Sorry to hear it. This will happen if your browser's "local storage" gets wiped for whatever reason - that's an area, similar to cookies, where the game stores its save data. While the Steam version has cloud saves, Kongregate unfortunately doesn't have an API I can hook into for that, meaning adding cloud saves here is a much more involved process where I'd have to securely store the saves myself and write all of the code to handle it. This is something I plan to do in the future, but it will be very time-consuming, so I've paused it in favor of some of these other features and content additions for now.

cant import my save data.. again. Started over once before when this happened. not doing it again. Was cruising with T3 cards in Plains of War, and i don't really feel like getting back there again. If you make changes to the game, you HAVE to allow users to bring in older saves... ESPECIALLY since there is a cap on offline time. I run my game in the background most days, and apparently doing that too much makes my save worthless. Idea was good, lot of promise but too buggy and unbalanced still.
Sorry to hear that. There was a bug with the exporter in place for about three days (introduced Sunday, fixed with Wednesday's update). If you exported during that time, the exported data would cause this issue now. The importer and exporter are stable now, so the issue won't happen again. I can fix your existing save for you if you e-mail it to me; I'll send you a PM now.

Accidentally upgraded a T1 card in Intro Realm with gems. Now that the new update requires more gems per level, can we get a way to refund upgrades with gems? The new gem system is brutal enough.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Gem balancing change is gonna be a problem when there is limited amount of gems you can get. Even without the gem change ascencion limits shouldnt have been a thing too aswell.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Gems upgrade change is really a bad thing, who play before, upgrade everything for 1, and who start now is high penalized
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
if you are going to increase the cost of everything so much in terms of gems, you really need to reduce cost of gem upgrades, and then with the latest patch of increasing the cost per card upgrade. Plus you limit the number of gems a player can get. You are going to run into the problem where people will stop playing. If it is your goal for people to stop playing, then keep it up.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Congratulations, gems are close to worthless now. You made gems a limited resource, gave players no good or interesting options for gem spending other than card upgrades, released mediocre-at best gem upgrades for absurd costs and then nerfed into oblivion the only actual interesting and more strategic use of gems. The new 'upgrades' still look bad and have awful costs, they don't look more appealing just because you killed the only thing that engaged players throughout ascensions.

Zelos666, I somewhat agree, but the only stats that actually matter are magic and damage, because you can use potions to infinitely resurrect your heroes. This makes it so that the best heroes end up being the Assassin, the Rogue, and possibly, the Shaman, depending on which is upgraded and the enemies' stats.

In the haunted woods zone in a wood layout only one watchtower functions but in an iron layout when i add two potions both work.
The watchtower and the potion should work the same.
It is supposed to be?

I don't really want to hide the junk cards, but can we have a sort order that puts cards from the current layout on top?

Well, i wasn't having a problem with import save doing nothing... till today and i notice a "fix" was mentioned since the last time i played. Now it's doing nothing....

I really like the game, but the performance is terrible. When I come back after a few hours and decide to max-buy some Ghouls, the game just hangs for a good 30 seconds, while the browser says some site is causing slowdown. I don't really get it either, since you pretty much just need to change two values to buy a card.
The progression is also really weird. You get to Haunted Woods very quickly, then it takes forever to get to Underworld, and then it takes slightly less time to get to Plains of War, where you have to wait for so, so long to get the good packs, and then they contain pretty crappy cards that there's not really any use for, as the monsters are always too strong and the heroes always too weak. So the best way is to just use the upgraded T1 ones, which feels really bad.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Is this normal? 49 gems so far in Haunted Woods (not 50), no more goal to reach for a 50th.

I feel like those that complain about the ascension cap jump the gun.
I'm pretty sure there will be changes in this system later on. Seems to me that it was a proetection to make sure ascenion does not go out of hand.

I dont like that the realms get usless after you master it, should be some kind of point asscending after maxed out. Like 1% bonus to all income for each accencion after maxing out or something. Just so you dont kill the realm.

Sucks that there's only a max of 200 gems currently and the Ascension shop costs 155 of them.... only leaves 45 to play around with in the game. REALLY sucks if you've already spent more than that on upgraded cards and now cant buy anything in the shop D:

It'd be nice if you could recycle cards you don't need anymore I just have so many of them that are completely useless and I'm upgrading them just because I can
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So two things. 1 I feel there is no real point with ascension with you only really get a max of 24 Hour offline time. Maybe Perm. Special Cards/ Rare Cards or something could be bought with Gems. or something...... And for two. I feel that the Heros are REALLY weak and useless without buffs and the buff cards are not powerful enough to help the Hero. I have tried T1 builds and to get anything really I got to use potions on Vikings Fighting dingos with no buffs cause then I get no trees. and for Gold I have to use Dwarfs with Hearts fighting Roo's with Chests, and the loots earn is so low it could takes weeks if not months to get to the next tier if not the next exp.

The prices in the shop for Plains of War are very difficult to read. Also, you really need to be able to see the current production rates of producers in the first three realms, to see the over all affect of other cards. It could be similar to the Heroes' estimates in Plains, in parentheses behind the base stats.

I just upgraded a card with gems, then immediately hit "downgrade" instead of "close" - feeling pretty silly right now.
