Dear Lords,

Over the past 10 days of the demo, we've received an overwhelming amount of support and feedback. We'd like to express our gratitude to every player who participated in the demo!
One of the most important feedbacks is that the attack card experience in the original version is not good. Cards other than elite cards often perform poorly. Based on these two points, we have made major updates by merging Morale and Armament. Now, the growth of attack cards can keep pace with the game's progression.
We've also implemented numerous content optimizations and updates. Here are the details:

[h2]System and Mechanism Adjustments[/h2]

1. Merged Morale and Armament: Each point of Armament now increases both attack and defense card values by 1.
   
2. Introduced Card Pack System: Card packs will be unlocked gradually as the game progresses.
   
3. Implemented Card Locking Feature: Now players can lock specific cards to prevent them from appearing in the game.
   
4. Adjust the appearance logic of all battles to make the experience of different battles smoother.
   
5. Improved Boss Fights: Increased interaction space against Boss.
   
6. Added "Aranya" Buff: The next melee attack will deal 1 damage to both sides.
   
7. Added "Relinquishment" Buff: Attack card is not affected by Armament.
   

[h2]Balance Adjustments and Content Optimizations[/h2]

1. Redesigned Herald's Mechanic.
   
2. Buffed Aurethil, slightly nerfed Anduriel, slightly buffed Order.
   
3. Adjusted Balance of some Axiom and unconventional cards.
   
4. Buffed faction-related Runes.
   
5. Redesigned the Overworld's Visuals.
   
6. Increased the Number of Playable Cards in the demo.
   
7. Added 2 New Epic Events.
   
8. Optimized the VFX of Epic Card Icons, improving the visual distinction of facilities.
   
9. Upgraded the Visual Quality of Enemy Cards.
   
10. Refined Descriptions of most cards.
    
11. Enhanced rich text on cards.
    

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

1. Fixed the Bug where elite cards could repeatedly appear or be duplicated.
   
2. Added Sound Settings: Resolved the bug where some buttons on the main page didn't function after adjusting settings.
   

As a test version, we acknowledge there are still many issues to discover and resolve. We are so grateful for your support and feedback!
Enjoy the game!
