Patch Notes 3.3 (Large)

Patch 3.3 comes after a several year hiatus. The game was severely flawed, slow to play, and lacked unique and exciting end goals to the game. This patch fundamentally reevaluates the core game system and changes hundreds of cards to cement consistency and engagement, while getting rid of many boring or problematic card designs. Overall, the game should more consistently feel like a skillful exploration into a warfront.

Core Game

-All players have 2 Honor numbers: Active Honor and Passive Honor. Active Honor starts at 0 Honor, and its maximum increases by 1 at the start of each of your turns. At the start of each of your turns, your Active Honor is refreshed to its maximum. The second Honor number is called Passive Honor. At the end of your turns, your remaining, unspent Active Honor is transferred to your Passive Honor.
-Active Honor can be used to play your units from your hand. Passive Honor can be used to play any card from your Reserve Deck.
-At the start of the game, each player starts a special phase called Recruitment. Each player gains 5 Active Honor that they must use during Recruitment, as well as drawing a hand of 5 cards. During Recruitment, players may spend 1 Active Honor in order to reshuffle their hand into their deck, and draw equal cards. Additionally, each player plays a single Structure from their Reserve Deck to Group 3.
-The number of cards in your discard required to lose reduced from 15 to 10.

-All cards have had their wording updated across the board to be more consistent.
