Quality of life and bugfixes update

May 19

First of all, I want to thank you for your help and support. The release went better than I expected, and I'm very grateful.

I'm working on improving the game. Here are some of the changes you can expect in the near future:

Quality of life improvements and bug fixes based on your feedback. This update just went live (more details below)
Balance changes, which may take a bit longer to get to Steam (in 1-2 weeks).
A small content update, with some new relics (in 1 month).

Here are the changes:
Quality of life:

Hovering over a unit now shows its mythology
Casual mode difficulty is now unlocked from the start
You can now freeze gods with a right click while targeting (helpful with Spirit of Desire)
Made the triple effect for gods of all mythologies (including the Unity blessing) more visible
Added a light highlight when you find a second copy of a god in the Pantheon
Star chart can no longer appear as the first relic option (instantly prompting you to select the mythologies even if you don't want it)
Mortal uprising can no longer appear after you pick Divine purge (not that it was a good idea picking it)
The mythology substituted by mythology-specific relics is now random
Added 1.5x (by popular demand)
Added the relic crowns that show which relics have led you to victory to the Pantheon mode
Improved the attack animations
Removed Earth defender from the pool of cards you can randomly get from Living Whirlwind
Casual level is now remembered for each enemy

Bug fixes:

Anu and Tezcatlipoca now work with blessings and relics
Fixed a bug that caused Sacrificial Shade to not work sometimes
Cthulhu's counter now resets after trigger (also added an animation for the effect)
Fixed a bug that made the "Relic master" achievement not unlock. You will have to win a run to unlock it.
Fixed the order of attacking with the blessing Primordial echo
Twin elevation now triggers for all pairs when you pick it up
Fixed a bug that caused the 3rd shield to not show up (if you have Aegis shield and Sacred barrier)
Fixed the display of related gods while discovering (for example, Khnum)
Fixed a bug that caused Echo elemental to trigger on gods that you'd dismissed
Fixed a bug that caused Exalted elevation to remove acquired abilities (like ethereal shield or fury)
Fixed a bug that caused enemies to attack between your attacks when you had fury and first strike
Fixed the interaction between Celestial chains and Divine alignment
Fixed a bug that caused defeats to count as victories for the achievement (this won't take away your crowns)

Distribution of available mythologies

This is all my perception, so read with bias in mind. I notice that some mythologies appear in 100% of games - the Olympians, while others appear barely ever at all unless their starting relic is chosen (Aztecs, Mezopotamians, Egypt, Yoruba, Celtic) Yes, that was one hell of a list. It seems that every game is Olympians, Noirse, Chinese, Hindu and Japanese, where the starting relic can replace one of them (typically the Japanese?) A few days ago I remember this was not an issue. Have I borked the game s...

the waves with the scorpion mobs are awful design.

there are levels. with scorpion mobs that say 'when a horror dies deal damage to the right most enemy', usually 2 of them AND a mob that spawns a full board when it dies. These levels are awful design and the problem only gets worse at higher ranks. I understand that most/all cultures have a way of dealing with the scorpions but its just such a stupid run-ending gimmick out of nowhere. Is the idea of this game to memorize every level of every boss horror so you can hopefully plan accordingly? If so thats...

9999 Attack

How do over 30% of people have this achievement? Am I missing something obvious? It's one of the last ones I have left. I was able to do 9999 defense with the Aztec jaguar guy and the boss effect that doubles defense.

2 lokis can kill your entire board even with an odin

if you have 2 lokis (when this takes 1 damage do 1 damage to everything else) and 1 odin (when this takes damage give all your units +3/+3) your board still instantly dies before a single round of combat goes off. this shouldnt be possible. and the math aint mathing...

I need help understand how things work

Hi ! Sorry for the bother. The game is really cool, and I like it, but there's a few things I don't understand. Like there's Iroko, the tree. I has 14/14, but with a -10/-10 at the start of combat. Upgraded it's -20/-20. I don't see any unit that may combo with this one. There's Obaluaye, where it says "death : summons the god behind it". It tried to place the game everywhere possible, with a blank space on his left, on his right. No matter the placement, it just seems he does nothing when he dies. An...
