Comments for Cards Wars

Thank you! I'm glad that my work on creating balansed AI is noticed :)

I'll think of different graphics in the next version.

Thank you :)

Thank you :) And have you tried the "Quick AI moves" option in the Settings? Does it make the game quick enough?

Actually, it's impossible to activate a powerup on the enemy's turn. I think, it was just a coincidence: you clicked on the powerup button, and the enemy spent its XP points to active its own powerup.

Thank you :) You advice is really good for the new players.

The battle is over when one of the sides looses 50% of its garrison. The cards go to the battle one-by-one. And the winning card looses 1 point of its value. So, here is the battle example: [10, 9, 2] vs [7, 6, 5, 6, 7] Round 1: 10 vs. 7 -> 10 wins, turns into 9 and goes to the bottom of the attacking deck. [9, 2, 9] vs. [6, 5, 6, 7] Round 2: 9 vs. 6 -> 9 wins and turns into 8 [2, 9, 8] vs. [5, 6, 7] Round 3: 2 vs. 5 -> 5 wins and turns into 4 [9, 8] vs. [6, 7, 4] Round 3: 9 vs. 6 -> 9 wins and turns into 8. So, the defeated stack of [7, 4] retreats if it has anywhere to retreat, otherwise vanishes. The victorious stack of [8,8] leaves its bottom card in the province, from where the attack was started, and is moved to the conquered province.

Actually, when I started developing the game I didn't know about Risk - I knew of DiceWars. That's why I stated "inspired by DiceWars" in the Credits. But now I want whenever I have free time, to buy Risk and play some games with my friends.

Thank you! :)

Thank you very much! It's very pleasant to see your comment. Good thing, the game's rating has grown to 3.50 :)

Thenk you! Currently the provinces are generated randomely on a given map. Atlhough, I adjusted the algorythm, they othen happen to be very weird-shaped, so, it really becomes difficult to find the bordering ones. In the next version I'm planning to include the pre-defined maps with the borders drawn by myself. For example, there will be US Civil War or WWI. Perhaps, the chessboard with straight non-confusing borders will be one of them. BTW, did you try to play with garrisons not showing (in the Settings)? I ooften use this way of playing on the maps with multiple provinces.

Thank you very much! I'll work on graphics, and the idea of changing the cards by fantasy units is cool and possible to implement, too.

Sorry, that's really strange... Could you, please, right-click on the game screen and check the Flash Player local storage?

This is meant to let the Penguins control 5 their own territories when you defeat other players.

Thank you! :)

Thank you :) Indeed he is :)

Thank you!

Thank you very much! Indeed, the idea of the game came to me 2 years ago, I programmed the beta in Free Pascal. Later I decided to learn Action Script 3 to make it playable in the browser. Since 2011 I've released 6 flash games (they are all here on Kong) and then I felt that I'm able to build the turn-based strategy. Indeed, I hoped for higher rating :) Perhaps, I should have made various AI difficulty levels to involve the players who usually don't play strategies. I'll add it into the next version, together with the historical scenarios and multiplayer.

That's really strange... And what is your OS/Browser?

I noticed that you already hold 92% of the medals, congratulations!

Indeed, my mistake, I made too long desription which didn't fit the text field size. The team is Red, as you actually said in your next post

Allowing the player to move cards one-by-one is a good idea, I'll think how to implement it in the next version without increasing the required number of player's actions. Thank you!

Yes, you are right. But I decided to let the human players, who actually play the Hotseat mode to gain any kind of achievement.

Thank you very much! It's very pleasant for me to communicate with players and to discuss the ways of game improvement.

Sorry about that. However, these buttons are very useful when you move big amounts of cards inside your territory. They show only at the bottom of the card symbol (except when the province is near the top screen border)

Strange... Didn't is save the medals or the game save?

Yes, sometimes it happens: there's always can be an Ace of Joked underneath the visible card.

Hm.. strange.. did you take into account that after successful attack one of your cards is left in the initial province?

I used the music by Kevin McLeod, he allows using it in free-to-play flash games. The link to his site is in the Credits

BTW, it is possible to play for any side in the tutorial. Can you find the way how? ;)

Perhaps, it's like in Civilization, where the spearman defeats the tank, the cases of bad luck just are remembered better?

Interesting idea about the movement patterns, thank you, I'll think of it

Great advice, it'll be really useful for the players to know to win.

Thank you for reply. I'll think of more gameplay features. If you have yours in mind, please, tell and I'll try to implement them with crediting you.

Yeah, cool combo, once it let me win in the hotseat game.

Thank you very much!

I made up the entire set of rules. Of course, they are based on the "War" and "Dice Wars" rules as on the sources of inspiration, but the game is original.

The battle is over when 50% of any side forces is lost. Like in real history, the army which suffers big losses becomes demoralized and retreats. And I'm sure that you'll find the game easier if you use the tactical hints mentioned in the strategy guide.

Good idea, thank you. I'll think of how to implement the "undo" into the game.

Yes, perhaps, it is in the beginning. But try to use the trics explained in the strategy giude and you'll win all the levels.

Thank you very much!
