Greetings Travelers🧙♂️
Version 1.5 of my wargame Echoes of Power is finally done! The true base version!
For the people that aren't aware of my game, Echoes of Power(EoP) is my own take on a miniature wargame. Using the miniatures I release on my Patreon, Tribe and store as Units to build armies with. The game takes inspiration from existing wargames like OPR, warhammer and combines it with dynamic card game like effects. As I've always found both games to be unnecessarily complex, EoP is a simplified and streamlined game thats easy to get into and learn. Focussing more on player freedom and fun. Plus! Everything needed for the game, except dice and unit stl's, are 100% FREE to download.
With a fully Free 2D version to play if 3D printing isn't available. You can find everything that you need through the EoP official website or go directly to the download drive
Now, version 1.5 improves the game tremendously from version 1.0, by having better clarity, better mechanics and interactions. The improvements and additions are:
Improved manual clarity with general readibility, how mechanics function and gameplay interactions
Improved clarity of Unit profiles, new stats and adjusted stats
Clearer explanation on how tokens are used and which types there are
Clearer explanation on how phases work and when certain interactions or effects happen
Adjustments to Unit types - Commander Units are now called Major Units, War beast/Cavalry units have combined into Strike Units and Monster Units are now called Large Units
Improved clarity of available Keywords, what they do and when
Removed Status Effects and replaced them with Added Effects. Added effects happen immediately, which results in not having to track such effects anymore
Improvement of effect function and readibility
Improved clarity of how combat functions
Added Protection Rolls to combat for more dynamic combat
Improved the Damage Sequence
Major Units now have two different Special Rules. Where one activates based on how the Major unit is being used, as a single unit or within a commanded squad
Added a reference pdf for all the Keywords
Added a reference pdf for all the game modes
Improved each faction's Faction Rule and gave each 3 for better army customization
Army builder list now includes a slot for which Faction rule the army is using
Lore changed from being just one planet into a whole Universe
For every faction, their Army index has been adjusted
Within the download drive, needed resources are categorized more cleary for what function they're used for
