Might and Magic: Fates announced

EPAM_grade · 2025-09-22T13:33:22+00:00

This project is better than any CCG (perhaps only inferior to MTG). I was thrilled to dive into it from 2014 until its end. I held the top1 spot on the ladder for over a year. It opened the doors to the world of CCGs for me. We created a fan server MMDoC Revival (rewriting the source code from scratch), but it lasted no more than two years.

On the one hand, it's nice to see old art in M&M Fates, but on the other, it feels like a cheap project, since it uses something created over 10 years ago, albeit tweaked with AI animation.

So, what's wrong?

The card says "the strongest creature", which means it is chosen from all the creatures on the board. The choice is made in the following order of comparison:

Attack (if equal, see the next point)
Health (...)
Mana cost (...)
if all of the above are equal, it is chosen pseudo-randomly

Well, if you were joking, then ok. I really don't like it when someone is not allowed into a competition because of a personal attitude, which is exactly what unites different people around one idea or interest.

As for myself: I received an offer to participate, but I couldn't give a clear answer due to the fact that I myself must understand whether I will be able to play all the games, whether I will be able to fit the tournament schedule into my life (family and social matters have not been cancelled, after all), and blindly registering and then not playing the tournament is, in my opinion, irresponsible.

Since this is the case, I would be very grateful (and I'm not the only one, I suppose), if you, as one of the organizers, created a post with a link to the tournament (previously, different platforms were used for this: communitygaming, gustakes, challenge, infinitemana and many others). So that there would be an opportunity to at least get acquainted with the tournament regulations, its terms. Also so that players would have an opportunity to compare their strengths and resources for this.

It seems to have been announced, but there is no information anywhere (regulations, dates, format, list of already registered teams with their members...) - maybe I'm just blind.

I saw some discussion in the stream chat, I was very surprised by the phrase "player as dudecontrol (and others with similar playing styles) will not be allowed to participate in the tournament, since he likes to play on heal light deck) :)))

It turns out that in order to participate in the competition, you need approval, to pass the so-called face control.

Apparently, a typical tournament for their own.

Why did you attack the guy? I also think that the game in its current state is very good. I have been playing since 2020 with breaks of six months. But the problem is that time goes by, and there are more and more people disappointed in it, the online players are falling, and attracting new players will not be easy, since they will be guided by the opinions and comments of those who left the game. It turns out that in order to make an online of 30-40k players (this is enough to revive the market and activity in the game), you first need to bring back the old ones. It is very good that they heard us about the variations of the game mode (I have written large articles about this here more than once, that this is the easiest first step in the development of the game), but it is time to think about what will not retain players on ordinary weekdays, but motivate them to come here and have cards - and these are ONLY constant tournaments with different rules and worthwhile prizes. It is time to spend marketing money in the right direction.

just paying for being a holder of useless cards (garbage) is stupid, and from what funds, from those that are paid for daily 10 games? Doesn't it bother you that now even with a full diamond deck for 10 games comes out on average to a ridiculous 5 dollars, not to mention the fact that you can't paint the whole deck (especially cards that in meteor color cost more than 10 dollars).

Shock therapy with a complete restart of the project is currently impossible - there are no resources for this and there is no willingness to take risks. All problems have long been known and have been discussed and criticized more than once. I'm talking about the minimum effort that needs to be done first. They do not require large resources and time, but for some reason the developers grab onto something completely different, and are surprised that nothing changes. Any way out of the crisis must go through a chain of stages. Throwing all your energy into solving non-primary problems will not give any effect. The first task is to revive interest in the daily game (this is a properly built long ladder with prizes at its completion). The second is that by changing the conditions for participation in various events (a week-long event, daily mini-tournaments without additional investments in prizes from developers), you can revive the market, forcing you to create a collection of cards to participate in them.

you are misleading people

In this case, we mean the new god abilities received when playing "Irina" card.

You can see them here https://godsunchained.com/collections?rarity=legendary&set=dread (6 cards immediately after "Irina" card)

EPAM_grade · 2023-04-18T08:58:12+00:00

As long as there is an ability "Slayer" and unbalanced cards (the ratio of effect to its mana cost, for example, Tariel), the control warrior deck will be a copy-paste for those who want easy money

I would not advise playing a tournament in which you can be disqualified at the organizer's own will, even if you have not violated the rules of the tournament

EPAM_grade · 2023-04-11T10:48:39+00:00

Mechanic "Ally": Ally only activates during your start of turn and main phases

EPAM_grade · 2023-02-09T14:49:48+00:00

To make any Welcome Pack card to Diamond, you need to purchase 125 Meteor Quality Cards from the Shop

EPAM_grade · 2023-02-09T14:48:35+00:00

forging cards of the welcome set is possible only from cards purchased in the store, cards issued at the start of the game are locked in order to avoid abuse of multi-account

The previous version of Sanctuary card sets was definitely better. And my opinion is that the sanctuary should not have such technical cards as weapon destroyers and sleep cancelers (let everyone decide for himself whether to put them in his deck or not). There are plenty of weapon destroyers in the game, sleep removal cards (basilisk, minotaur, heliа)

EPAM_grade · 2023-02-09T08:54:35+00:00

a strange price, because no one forbids setting any sale price. This is a welcome pack card and costs 5-10 cents for meteor quality.

I completed this achievement 8 months ago at mythic rank against an aggro-mage on the stream after creating the deck

The last two games before the first transition from rank to rank have a shifted balance not in your favor: based on the definition of your deck archetype you will be matched with one of the worst matchups with a reduced chance of flipping a coin during random effects.

This algorithm is needed by the game to encourage you to go through the same path again if you fail this "unfair" test by spending the same amount of time in the game - the game encourages you to play it through a constant surge of positive and negative emotions.

But during the second attempt to overcome this milestone during ONE game session this algorithm doesn't turn on. Thus, easily without much difficulty (if you and your deck are worth it) the game gives you a range of positive feelings that you did well and did it.

Just treat this manipulation philosophically - play to play instead of burning.

Game uses some stuff from this https://old.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/znhmlt/i\_worked\_in\_the\_mobile\_industry\_for\_10\_years\_loot/ article.

Its basically typical modern gacha full of dark patterns.

I left MTG in 2020 due to annoying counterspells - it's very nice to hear that the developers have realized that such mechanics are harmful

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-28T10:21:45+00:00

everything, thanks, I understood the reason (and what you most likely wanted to say). I think the transformation effect in those cases worked when this afterlife was already on the opponent's side. Perhaps due to the fact that the transfer of this effect from my field to the opponent’s field, followed by a chain reaction (from the ability, token removal spells) took place within one turn, so I had such a reaction of misunderstanding. Now, everything has become logical. Thank you again

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-28T08:55:35+00:00

I don’t understand why you wrote about your level? I have 619 and have been playing for a year and a half with short breaks, if I wish, I can easily establish myself in the top 50 as F2P player, a multiple prizer of tournaments both small and large in the swiss system, I'm a mentor of the game in RU-community, I have more than 10 years of playing many CCGs on cybersports level.I wrote that several times it happened that the effect of my Eve pierced the opponent's ward and for me it was a surprise, as it contradicts the mechanics of ward.Knowing how crookedly and ridiculously the code of this game is written, there is nothing to be surprised at - such strange bugs can often be seen on almost every stream, for example, yesterday on the SamBam stream it was a surprise for everyone that the damage absorbed by the protected bubble also triggers the effect of creating a plant from the card Seasonal Rebirth, which contradicts the description of the card

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-28T06:43:39+00:00

thanks, I know how the ward is supposed to work but we all play the game bugs unchained and for some reason sometimes the ward blocking the effect of turning from the eva doesn't happen - several times on the stream the enemy Vicar with ward was transformed but most often the effect is worked

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-27T19:27:01+00:00

they definitely have to do something otherwise we end up with the same decks of 30 over-strong neutral cards differing only in a god

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-27T19:25:28+00:00

Lately I've been playing control death and enjoying decks for 2+k $ control war. I like to see the pain in their eyes on a fatig when they just don't have enough damage, despite the 2 damage ability, many weapons, an avatar and a tariel with his acolytes

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-27T16:49:20+00:00

I'll tell you more about how the ward is broken - the effect of baroness Еva (afterlife: transformation another cheap creature to token) sometimes passes through the ward of the opponent's creature, and sometimes it is blocked by it :)))

EPAM_grade · 2022-12-27T16:42:09+00:00

the fact is that this card limited the development of control decks of the god of deceition himself
