Azoove News

[h3]Greetings, heroes![/h3]
Thank you to all who have been traversing Azoove so far.
As always, your feedback on the Discord server is greatly appreciated!
If you are around PAX West, you're invited to be hype with us at booth 2836, next to PAX Arena!

[h2]Change list[/h2]

[h3]Mechanics and balance[/h3]
Starting health for all heroes increased to 4. This allows 1 damage to not be immediately answered without severe punishment.
Misfortunes may now contain Injury (choice) effects. A hero must volunteer to take the damage. With the automated ally, the human player gets to pick between them.

[h3]Misfortunes[/h3]
12 new Misfortunes, adjustments and balance for many existing ones
Also, rewritten ALL Misfortunes, so try reading them again (I know you stopped!)

[h3]Opportunities[/h3]
Opportunities now have full art!
They are also updated for balance and flavor text rewritten

[h3]Interface[/h3]
Improved Lobby, making it clearer how to start a new match or join an existing one
New camp action UI polished
Added a few new tutorial-y alerts: Over-blessed, Choice Misfortunes

[h3]Preparation and Spite[/h3]
Preparation no longer has increased health (since it is increased by default), now has starting inspiration, costs adjusted to add to 100.
Spite levels swapped and replaced to create smoother, more interesting scaling.

Fixed some bugs causing soft-locks in multiplayer
Fixed many visual issues
