ON A NARROW BRIDGE
Hello, friends!
Today we’d like to tell you about the fight that takes place on a narrow bridge. It’s the battlefield that makes it unique—it’s so unusual that you might want to refuse from the tactics you got used to. But let’s get to the details.
[h2]HOW DOES THE FIGHT GO?[/h2]
In the beginning of the fight you find yourself on a short, narrow bridge. Opposite there is the enemy's commander. The task is basic—to destroy him.
It seems that it’s quite handy that the enemy is standing so close—but for the feature of the fight. Every fighter who appears on the battlefield is protected by Charms.
One more peculiarity of the fight is that you will have to take a fresh look at the movement along the battlefield. It’s just two cells wide, so you won’t have too much space for manoeuvres.
So the fighters of the enemy have considerable advantages just from the start. It won’t be easy to bypass them to break to the commander. So what are the options? Eik advises Finn to think about effective bundles and support. But Kleta doesn’t think this situation is worth discussing. It’s interesting whose advice is better.
[h2]DIFFICULTY[/h2]
We decided to collect much more powerful units in the enemy’s deck in the challenger battles than in the qualification round. Combined with charms, it made the fight considerably harder—you can easily lose all your ally units and watch helplessly as enemies come closer and closer to your commander, yawning as they approach.
Conditions for the perfect win also have significant limitations. First of all you can’t use Shooters—no more arrows from the allies’ backs. And you will also have to refuse evident decisions. Secondly, you’re not allowed to use charms—only items. So you’d better double-check your deck!
[h2]IN SEARCH OF PERFECT BALANCE[/h2]
The key feature of the fight—a narrow battlefield—already makes it pretty hard. We wanted that not only the territory would turn this fight into a severe challenge, but at the same time any extra condition could make it unpassable. Strengthening the enemy’s fighters with Charms seemed like a good decision to us.
Nevertheless, playtests showed at once that in combination with some definite fighters—like the Enforcer—Charms make the fight almost unpassable. That’s why we reconsidered the enemy characters’ deck.
We’re waiting impatiently for your feedback about the fight on the bridge. Share your impressions, follow us and add the game to the wishlist.
