Minor bug fixes (card text) + functionality improvements (all Talents shuffle).

HUGE UPDATE: Deliverance v 1.77 released.

TL;DR - All of the cards in the game have been updated, including Angel and Demon Talents, Darkness, Heavenly Treasure, Prayer, Battle, and Prince cards. Demon minions have also been updated. The focus was on fixing text errors, balancing changes, and eliminating impossible scenarios and infinite combos.

- Angels offer more diverse builds:

A major emphasis was placed on increasing the joy of playing each angel in a variety of builds. Some builds in particular were easy to abuse and became the clear best build for an angel. We focused on giving players options and choices to diversify their playstyles and remain effective in both solo and co-op modes without destroying builds that everyone loved.

In particular, Gabriel's Prayer build was really powerful in 4-player games, often controlling all of the Darkness cards by himself. This caused some pretty significant balance issues (aka things were too easy) in games that he was used "properly," and some of his other amazing skills were often going unused!

All of these changes were made within the Talent cards of each angel. You'll have to hop in the game to find out the rest!

- Balancing Demons is hard to do:

The demons of Deliverance and the Talents that empower them across difficulty levels have been adjusted. Some of the demons could outright destroy you with the wrong combo of dice rolls and Talents (looking at you, Explosive Fallen Seraphs). An unfortunate Talent combo should never make it almost impossible to survive on its own -- We want your choices to matter too!

We have invested a lot of time in updating the game based on nearly 1,000 games played during the Deliverance Challenge event. You all offered an amazing amount of feedback, and this is reflected here.

- Prayer is powerful against the Darkness:

Prayer cards and Darkness cards are finally updated! The text of many of these cards have been balanced and/or adjusted for clarity. Some of the Prince encounters have even been modified! You'll have to play to find out which :)

- Heavenly Treasures that are of great earthly good:

The Heavenly Treasure cards also saw a sweeping update, and many of the cards that felt inferior to others have been updated. On the opposite end of the coin, some cards felt like they were always being prioritized as top-tier choices, no matter which angel was being played. I saw these effects as a bit too powerful, and we toned them down without breaking them (Looking at you, Courageous Signet).

- Developer's note:

This version of Deliverance has been a long time coming. Now that these cards are truly updated, we can update the rulebook and then get smashing on the Campaign balance :)
