Nanaka Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks! I got the wiki pages done, but ti would be nice to have names for some of the cards, however. By Names u mean the name and title? 5 cost Kamui (F): Chosen Princess of Yatogami - Kamui (Female) 5 cost Kamui M: Chosen Prince of Yatogami - Kamui (Male) 5 cost Marx : Pitch Dark Paladin - Marx 5 cost Lobster : Saint Sword of Roaring Thunder - Ryoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuvillo Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I declare a future Red/White swarm deck, possibly with Lord Ryoma. Even with the cards we have now, it's not a ridiculous idea. *Starts building* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureKnightX Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I thought of that too, but Ryoma needs 4 or more white cards to be active, but you can settle for just that second effect, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvillo Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It was a ridiculous idea. Level 1 Ryouma is basically vanilla at the moment (or most of the time after the set releases, probably) and I didn't see that the 4 units need to be allied Hoshido. The only synergy between White and Red is now the Red units that say "When you play a cost 2 or lower unit" because the White cards are much better off being pure White. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureKnightX Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If it helps, Black seems to be hybrid friendly. I mean, neither Xander, nor Pieri require them to be class changed to use their best effects and seems easily splashable in decks that have a lot of destruction, power ups, and/or would like more destruction. At this point, White is probably the only color you don't want to do any race, I mean color mixing in (sorry, couldn't resist the joke on the ironic coincidence lol).

Tuvillo Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 So far all the black cards would be bad if they were blue or red, so I don't see a reason yet to mix colors unless there's definite synergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureKnightX Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Eh, only very few cards give a damn about color in any way and you only need one face-up bond of said color, so combining colors to get the best of both seems like a relatively easy endeavor. Weiss Schwarz uses a similar color restriction scheme and most decks there are 2 color decks. Now, I'm not saying hybrids will be the norm, but rather will likely be significant in this game as a whole as time goes on. The second most popular meta deck (Inigo Harem) is already hybrid and is sitting comfortably at at least 20% use last I heard. I can already think of a Red and Black deck where the goal is to just overwhelm the opponent in resources. Have Red use pegasi to give excellent support power while giving plusses and use Black cards to gain power and destroy opponent's units. Oh, and I already updated Xander and Kagerou with the better images already, just as an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvillo Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Currently hybrids are played because the most powerful cards are spread across both colors and there's not really a strategy yet. There's no reason to play Red/Black IF Red proves to be better, still. It all depends on niche theory. (Does adding black to red give the deck something worth having, and vice versa?)

FutureKnightX Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I was just thinking that Xander combined with a ton of low costed units will make for an explosive turn and Pieri on top of that would be very hard for the opponent to come back from, but of course this is all just theory.

Tuvillo Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The difference between this game and most other games it that there's no real difference between 100 ATK and 100000 ATK. (Except for Xander, I guess. But he'll still be limited by your Bond count) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Except for Xander, I guess. But he'll still be limited by your Bond count) That's a typical trademark of Bushiroad TCGs, actually. The three TCGs they have released in English all have power separate from the stat that deals damage. This is noteworthy, as Cipher is mostly based off of CFV, which is the most popular game of those three (and Nontendo even explicitly admitted it). I like it, personally, as it makes it so putting all your eggs in the power basket isn't enough to get a rush in and forces one to get more creative along with allowing more variety among cards.

Hardin Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I made an error with Lazward's card, the artist should be Mio Itou who previously did Jeorge's card, and not Sachiko Wada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureKnightX Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 http://fecipher.jp/event/campaign/ Wow...feel kinda bad for anyone who dropped some money on that Chrom promo, since it'll be the promo for the second wave of demo events, as well. Not as much of a collector's item. For those who don't know, that Azura picture is of a special marker card one is allowed to use to mark their MC.

SorenAltigo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Jumping in here: First, I really appreciate the work everyone here is doing on translations! I'm looking forward to taking a crack at this game. Second, I recently made a LackeyCCG plugin for Cipher and posted it on Reddit...then today realized that someone here had also made one. Which leads me to my third point: As an amateur game designer with some professional experience doing technical editing, I'd like to do what I can to help do tech-editing on the translation. I'll admit that my Japanese is somewhere between "rusty" and "baka gaijin", so I can't contribute significantly to actual translation work, but I have a preliminary style guide in the spreadsheet that's fueling my version of the Lackey plugin and am willing to spend hours agonizing over whether "When" or "Whenever" is the best word to use in a conditional. Essentially, what I'd like to do is help ensure that, once the effects are translated, the language used for them is tight, clear, consistent, and works well in English. I've been in contact with Aubergine (assuming that name designates the same person here that it does on r/fireemblem) but figured it would be best to jump over here to coordinate efforts on translation (and Lackey plugins; having one would be best). If anyone wants to see what I've done, my plugin can be found here, and I can provide the source spreadsheet if anyone wants to see it. Let me know if that sounds useful!

FutureKnightX Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I believe most agreed the way Bushiroad translates CFV seems to be a good fit for the game, especially as this shares many mechanics, but anything further than that has yet to be really agreed upon. I would have helped get the wiki using the same terms for everything already but I felt like I was the only one even trying and that doesn't do well for morale, let alone the sheer amount of time that would take from me.

Tuvillo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Lemme know if you find any differences between our plugins that maybe I should get around to changing. The problem so far isn't having a functional plugin, it's finding a game. (Only reliable way is through our Skype chat atm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathaios Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hello and thank you all for the good work. I have a question regarding the Bond Area and Flipped Bonds: Is the Bond area public or private for any or both of the players? Like, can I see what are my flipped bonds? I play a Manakete deck and I wanna know this for the effect on Nowi*3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefield, Bond Area, Support Area, Discard Pile are open info for both players, therefore you definitely can see your flipped bonds and even your opponent's flipped bonds. But as a practice of good card manners, always ask for your opponent's permission before touching any of their cards.

I was under the impression that once a bond is flipped you are no longer allowed to view what the card is. Only know that it's a face down in the bond area.

Tuvillo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Face-Down Bonds are fully public knowledge. Also, those Corrin cards saved a looooot of things. (added to Lackey too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureKnightX Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The bonds are always public to everyone at all times, so don't worry. Also, you can most certainly put face-down bonds back to hand with Nowi. Right now, that is the only way to unflip bonds, as roundabout as it is. And I did think that Female Corrin was being a tad too defensive for Black lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
