to my defense there's 50 guns so it's hard to have them all made equal ^ ^''

some are simply stronger early, some are simply stronger later, some are weak or broken at all ranks

tho if you could share what you feel makes the collector feel so weak in terms of general balance or weaker traits i could work to adjust that and make it more reasonable

also i didn't engineer the ai so i don't think i can help much there

Play and familiarize yourself with the royal enforcer shotgun, one of the more OP gun in the mod ..

And no I'm not asking to nerf it :-P

Since Rank 25+, the difficulty is fundamentally broken. The White AI is excessively disproportionate:

Engineered Movement: Pawns move strategically to clear optimal paths, making the AI scripted for maximum threat.

Forced Checkmate: If long-range pieces (Queen/Rook) are not one-shot, an immediate, inescapable Checkmate threat follows.

Perfect Defense: Pieces move to establish flawless, layered defense (e.g., Bishop step behide a Rook when king ready to shot nearby it).

This is a critical design failure. I attempted Floor 1 with the Guiled Collector 30-40 times, and I am forced to Resign repeatedly. I cannot pass the first floor with this gun at Rank 31.

The few successful runs (3/40) were due to pure luck—the King randomly moved into a vulnerable spot. I am compelled to spam attempts until I get a lucky starting board.

Challenge must be based on skill and tactics, not on extreme reliance on chance. The AI's 'perfect' movements should not be determined by pure luck."

you should be able to just subscribe and then have the mod menu appear above the other game modes

how do I use mods in general I dont have a mod menu

for the first one ill have a look, for the second what kind of interaction are you thinking?

also, would it be too much to ask for a special interaction of some kind if you pick up Harpoon of Blind Obsession while using the Snagharpoon?

Hey. First of all, great mod, love your work.
Second, I noticed some of the gun unlock methods in the pinned discussion post (SGK Extra - General Info/Self Help) were out of date last time I checked them - one that stood out to me was the post saying "Outis" still needed a five-turn pawn disguise to unlock when in the version I'm currently playing it instead required a specific card combo.
I've unlocked too many of the guns to go through their requirements and see what else is missing, but is there any chance one of you could update that post at some point?

Ah... If it ever come to fruition, you must make it so that we the players must go against the black king AND his shotguns!

well that was the intent actually but since it's not here... ^ ^''

What if you add her as playable? Make it the reverse, white queen against the black king and his loyal court, with different mechanic or something, is that even possible?

it is an interpretation of a battle worn queen made by someone i know

btw who is the white female-ish figure that sometimes appear on the title screen?

still unsure how that happened but i'll try to adjust the code a little for when it checks whether hellmare should spawn or not

from now on, i will record my game

maybe it registered to spawn hellmare somehow but didn't transform the card idk i wish i had a recording

i think i had got the card before i got "profane skull"

the card i got was "the tide rises" (can turn to "the tide falls")

holdup im going to look what the card name was in the codex
latest verson btw

it was a moat card that you can click to make it at the top-half of the board or the bottom-half of the board

zethan do you remember what card added the moat?

hellmare will appear if you have -10 absolution and her ability will start reducing your ammo every 10 turns, as for the water she's not intended to appear specifically because of that bug so ill have to look into how she spawned anyway

Huh? Hellmare supposed NOT TO SPAWN if you have the moat, IIRC.

also when hellmare jumped into the moat
the sprite was cut off by a bit

i think i got hellmare on accident
i can't trigger it again
i also was confused why my max ammo
was so low?

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Finally found Feast and Famine. I think it's the increased number of cards, plus all the cards that either directly counter rats, or give pieces more hp

probably just bad rng given the volume of cards and actual number of rats

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been seeing no rat cards at all with the latest update. Even when playing with the plaguebringer

noted

Maybe. It's the art without context of the piece that inspired it that was the problem. I think people would be less likely to read it the way I did with the name drag queen, as drag is campy and drag is a thing you do instead of a thing you are.

do you think it would be more appropriate to rename it so that it matches the current in-game name of "drag queen"?

Seeing the inspiration, that makes a lot of sense. Guess I'm just extra sensitive now a days.

"but replacing Drag Queen with Genderqueer"
I actually kept the original, as that card went through quite a few name changes due to localization issues and I honestly feel in a lose-lose situation regardless of what i change about it ^ ^"

im sorry that particular art made the experience sour but know it was not done with ill intent, one patch i changed the art for most queen arts to somewhat resemble homecoming and the bishop one was inspired by this particular fanart:
https://www.deviantart.com/blueroseplayer/art/The-Queens-946576910

I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't intentional, but replacing Drag Queen with Genderqueer and then making the art a queen with googly eyes and a frownyface made me feel like I was just randomly catching strays. If you where trying to come of as vaguely transphobic, I guess that's your prerogative, but it's kinda soured me on the mod. Which sucks, I tried to ignore it, I was having fun.

>i do add cards with every update, however few or many of them

>there's no wiki and that would be a headache to maintain with how many changes i make and how often. there is however the 'better codex mod' which should help with identifying the conditions for most cards

Sadly, dont think so, btw, is there a wiki or something, I would really like to know how to obtain certain cards

I swear every other day new cards get added to this behemoth, it really is the gift that keeps on giving

i can't seem to replicate it with just those two, did you have any card that gives free turns or do something when you move? if not we can call it a funny little accident

nope, sorry. But I think the culprits were those two

(also I had the butterfly effects, so that made the scenario more common, but the stars need to aling to do it again)

do you happen to remember what other cards you had?

that's... jank. i can somewhat understand what happened but fixing it will be questionable

And for more specific info, idk, I only got it once, but its stable enough to not crash

Aparently, if butterfly effect targets premonition on premonition´s rewind, the game will go insane and SPAWN EVERY PIECE TWICE, big king included

In the case of the big king, if you have enough pieces, one will spawn half outside the map and you will win the moment you kill one, dont have to kill both

thanks, made a quick fix

skinwalker card description is missing / in error.

this is a big patch today so let me know if something implodes

if you play at ranks 10,20,30,40,50 they activate to counterbalance what the white army gets

So how does the weapon ranks work

Cool. Thanks!
