Local design document (ORC)

General

• Try to follow all the WTactics General Design Document to whatever extent possible.
• Focus on a 2 player game.
• Use the playing surface to somehow put the spatial dimension in the game.
• Avoid hard coded randomness.
• Minimize use of: Variables, tokens and administration.
• Maximize strategical depth and game flow.

Factions

• There are five factions.
• Factions should be asymmetrical as far as possible.
• New factions won't ever be introduced: Card subtypes should be used instead. We want broader factions with depth instead of plenty of narrow and specialized ones.

Naming

• Card names in general should be 1) Non-complicated 2) Functional 3) Aesthetically appealing 4) Short, in that order of preferences.
• Creatures tend to have generic & functional names instead of personal ones.
  • Example: Elvish Ballerina, Guardian of the Empire, Elvish Archer etc.
• Personal creature names are rare and reserved for very special and renown creatures.

Creatures

Under Construction These pages are under heavy construction & only intended for the developers. Notice that most of the info will change. Please contact us if you want to help us out or join the dev. team.

Stats

• Creature's default, printed, attack/defense is usually an integer between 1 to 10.
  • Creatures can have 0 attack, but not less than 1 DEF as default value.
• Numbers can never be negative, and there's no upper limit how high ATK/DEF can become while being modified in game.
• Values are somewhat adjusted in relation to certain attributes, such as species, faction, abilities etc. Please see mindmap for more specifics.

Abilities

• Creatures usually have between 0 to 2 abilities.
• Creatures with more than 2 abilities are very rare and have drawbacks associated with them.
• All abilities a creature has should

BfW

• Creature abilities will, if possible, somehow relate to the ones had by their counterparts in BfW.
• Creature names will often be borrowed from BfW.
• Other than that and art usage, there is little connection to BfW and no aspiration to re-create a clone of that game in paper form.
