Unit abilities

This is a relatively small update gameplay-wise but it introduces a whole new system which will play a big role in the further design of the game.

Castable Abilities

Up until now units were able to do two things in Battle: Move or Attack. This update introduces Castable Abilities as additional actions that units can now execute in Battle. This update redesigns a few existing abilities to fit into this new mold:

Undead Knight's Corruption: Is now castable, effect unchanged.
Ironclad Bishop's Secret Influence: is now castable, effect unchanged.
Demon Queen's Hot Entrance: is now castable, effect is now casting 1/2/3 Fires at the closest enemy targets.
Ironclad Gladiator gets a new ability, Cast Taunt - when cast, applies Taunt to self for 2 turns.

Other

AI skill improved, now searches roughly ~2x more positions than before.
Decreased RAM consumption while AI is thinking.
Fixed copy game link not working properly.

Up Next

The next update will focus on a redesign of the drafting/army building systems and unit abilities to focus on synergies and more build archetypes. This is a big change and will take some time!

AFK Chess is a PvP chess auto battler - you build up your army and watch it fight against other players!

You will constantly be deciding on the best way to improve your army based on the random selection of units, items, upgrades and events that are offered to you in each turn.

You play against other players in either a relaxed Arena with no timers or an intense real-time Versus mode with up to 8 players. In both cases, you will need to come up with strategies and counter-strategies to win!

As you progress you are matched against stronger players, do you have what it takes to beat them all?

Discover synergies between a constantly expanding roster of units, classes and items. Strike fear in other players as you discover insane scaling strategies that will demolish their run!
