Warlord 4th Edition CCG - the epic fantasy card game

Just to let you know - as usual the server change has thrown up more questions (and work) as anticipated.

One of those has been e-mail connection (the mail server changed to). AFAICS no mails were lost, but currently I am getting all e-mails filtered in triplicate (is there a word like “multiplicate”). Makes it very hard to sift through all messages in a timely fashion - and coordinating with Don and Rich on the upcoming Campaign events.

I hope to get that done asap to let you know more about dates and locations.

Currently I am working on getting the EU Shop integrated into the same system as the US Shop and getting the Forum up again.

Hello!

After getting some of the graphics links corrected here (they were hard-coded in the database) I got the US-Shop up. The new short link is www.warlordccg.de/wld/us-shop - I haven’t gotten around to superimposing pretty links yet.

There are two new products up, as well.

First of all is the Phoenix Feather. It can be used in place of a Limited Wish in any deck and works the same way. Yes, you can combine it with Limited Wish, but the sum of both cards can only ever be three.

Another new - or rather enhanced - product is the Warlord Gift Certificate. You buy a $50 gift certificate in the shop - which you can use for any product including the Phoenix Feathers above - and you get the four retooled Warlords Kestrel the Deceiver, Rabinus the Elder, The Bloody Countess, and Warmaster Sceth as a bonus.

Now I am off to get the forum back online.

Just to let you know: As usual, transferring a whole server holds its own challenges. This site is now on the new server, but required a few… tweeks.

Next up is the US-Shop, then the forum and finally the EU-Shop.

I’ll keep you posted.

In trying to put some additional promo Warlords on the print sheet at the last minute we all overlooked an OPT statement (on each) that were apparent to and intended by all involved in the creation.

Therefore both Rabinus the Elder and Warmaster Sceth receive immediate errata:

Rabinus the Elder should say: “React: Once per turn, before target character you control…” and

Warmaster Sceth should say: “Order: Once per turn, ready target non-stunned Siege.”

Both these Warlords are not legal in official tournaments at this point, therefore the errata effectively only apply to challenges for now.

Departing from the usual 30-day rule we ruled all the cards contained within the Ordo Phoenicis Ascendentis promo pack as tournament legal on the day they were first available (the first day of KoHIT).

This is now reflected in the latest update in the official promo card list with ca. 15 new entries.

The last KoHIT turned out to be bitter-sweet: It was great to see some of the old guard there - Sy Hughes made his way over from the UK, bringing along Tom and Ellen van Kerkhoven from Belgium. Carlos Gaedtke came all the way from Brazil - again! and indomitable Manolis Trahiotis came from Athens.

Some last minute cancellations could have dampened spirits, but in the end everything went okay - the location turned out to be ideal for our purpose.

Special kudos go out to Oliver Maschmeier - he is the only person to attend all 10 KoHITs as a player (Manolis is the other person to have been at every single one of them).

So the new Daemonlord turns out to be a beast, unbeaten at KoHIT. Here are his abilities, revealed. I imagine he will be played extensively in Highlander mode from now on (I’ll certainly change my deck to that).

Heroes? Pah, don’t they realize that thing called KoHIT is a trap to get them all in one place and annihilate them?

It is time. While Gigi Corradini unfortunately cannot come to KoHIT, he has sent both his copy of Gixu the Jester as well as Imperator Gixu to me.

And I absolutely agree with his request to have Carlos Alberto Gaedtke play both of them, coming all the way from Brazil to attend KoHIT.

Imperator Gixu will be revealed as soon as one copy of the Jester is defeated, or on Saturday night, whichever comes first. If the Saturday night reveal is not “forced”, it’s Carlos’ choice whether he wants to accept challenges on Saturday or wait till Sunday.

Also in attendance will be Queen-Mother Nyssara and Atu the Fallen.

Oops. Mistimed these. This concludes the Ancient Lore set.
