Hey everyone! Welcome back to Soma! I've been pretty busy and a few things have been changed, improved and added for Version 1.02! I'm excited to talk about the big changes:

Custom Game Mode

This brand new game mode (and the six new modifiers) will allow you to play the game the way you want to. Want to start with more resources? Change the rules of attacking? Stop your followers from taking wounds? Or maybe you just want them to die instantly. Simply select up to four modifiers to change your game! Note that some modifiers are mutually exclusive and can not be active at the same time.

And this game mode is available to all players for free. All you need to do is to unlock it. And how? Simply complete three games - you don't even need to win. If you've already completed that many games, just completing one more will trigger the unlock. Modifiers So, if you have the game mode unlocked, what are the new modifiers?

Diamond Followers destroyed in combat do not take wounds. Followers are more expensive and less common to compensate.
Chased You can not travel towards nodes that lay behind you.
Affluent Your journey starts with +200 batteries.
Cornucopia Your journey starts with +200 food.
Unwavering Your journey starts with +200 hope.
Cramped You always bring all followers in your convoy into combat. (You can still put some in your deck for priority healing and protection from the wilderness)
Sloth In combat your prophet acts second by default.

The Pioneers convoy

They follow the ideals of the Union, no longer its leaders. Solidarity, equality and liberty lead them on their search for a new home.

They have three unlockable perks, which you can see above, and one unique always-on fourth perk (similar to the Hermit): Battlefield Engineering Each side of the battlefield has at least one row filled with obstacles. These obstacles are appropriate to the environment and make the battlefield tighter for both parties. This means that decks that work with a lot of cheap cards to try and flood the board have a bit of a problem. This also ensures that there's always obstacles to destroy if you have any synergistic effects... So how can you get the Pioneers? When you're in Pit Nine, don't simply follow the instructions of the Agents mindlessly, maybe try to listen to the rebel cell and support their cause...

Six new leader cards

And lastly the new leader cards. These have been added to help round out some items and as a start to strengthen comeback mechanics and slower tactics, something I'm thinking about a lot. Anyway, without further ado, here are the cards:

Decoy Phalanx Fill a row on your side with Decoy constructs (0/2) with Taunt.
Blistering Blow Push target unit. It suffers -3/-0.
Blinding Beam Stun all followers
Surprise Attack Each friendly unit with Stealth deals its attack damage to the first target in the opposing row and loses Stealth.
Black Hole Trap When an enemy follower with active card text enters battle: That unit suffers blackout. (Construct)
Gear Up Increase the cost of target friendly convoy card by 1. It gains +2/+2.

And that's the big stuff. There's still a bunch of smaller changes. Check out the changelog below for more details. [quote=changelog]Custom Game mode added

A roguelike deck-building game

Nowhere Prophet is a single player card game with procedurally generated maps, a high difficulty and permadeath. At it's heart are two distinct parts of gameplay: Travel and combat.

TRAVEL
During travel you navigate across a procedurally generated map. Make sure your convoy has enough resources to travel as you pick your route. On your journey you will encounter strange places and even stranger people. You will be thrust into situations that put the fate of your followers in your hands.

If you're lucky enough to gain some rewards, maybe for helping someone - or robbing them, then you can invest those to improve your decks. Recruit more followers to have more and different units to put into battle. Equip your prophet or level up and learn new skills to have access to stronger action cards in combat.

COMBAT
You will have to overcome some enemies to keep your convoy and resources together. And sometimes you may even want to pick a fight for righteousness or just for loot. Once in battle the game changes to the turn-based card game mode.

Play convoy cards to put your followers onto the field and position them so you can overcome your enemy. Or play action cards to dramatically change the battlefield. But be careful: If you're wounded you will have to find a safe place to heal. And if one of your followers takes too many wounds, they are lost forever.

A science-fiction post-apocalypse

Nowhere Prophet is set on a far off planet called Soma. Your story begins many years after the Crash, a complete technological collapse. Civilization has broken down and the lack of resources made everyone turn either bandit or madman.

In this world inspired by Indian culture you lead a convoy of outcastes. These desperate men and woman following your vision of a better future. Under your guidance they travel with you through the wastelands. Your goal is the Crypt, a mystical place that promises untainted technology and safety.

If you can survive long enough to find it.
