After seeing what came out with the AI for my book, (btw.. that is shocking...i couldn't be more amazed really..it manages to reach areas of the logic in the book that i didnt write yet , but because they make sense, the AI connects them and reveals new things that are even novelty for myself as the author of that text) I decided that A25 docs could be made INTERACTIVE, meaning that you would explain in your own basic words what quest you want to achive, and the AI would research what tools to use, what code to write, what path to follow etc... imagine that. Its years of data gathered, and all these need to be formatted in a certain way. I am talkin…

We will use this forum from time to time to post jobs that we need completing so that we can distribute some of the non-coding tasks. If you want to take a specific task please post saying that you will take the task. If someone has taken the task but you want to work on it or help please contact them or use the forum to ask if they need help. Rewards will be given for completing work we need. You are free to work on any tasks you please however only take one task at a time so we can aim to get tasks finished promptly. If there are any questions about a task or about this forum please ask away!

here are my plans for recipes for a next depth of items. The 'ingredients' are based on the most abundant items in the realm, sign that their use is either missing or not balanced. Creating these items will consume existing items, and create more complex and functional items, or precursors to even more complex items. I hope to be able to slowly create a path from resource, to more advanced items, and the most advanced items to be consumables requiring several levels of processing, with limited use but extreme power. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Functionality and actual mixing amounts are still open to debate. IMPORTANT: To avo…

Hi all, I am planning to review what the Christmas Tree gives out this year in an attempt to see if we can update it for 2023! Please let me know if you think there is anything we should add, change, or remove from it. If you haven't seen the Christmas Tree before feel free to suggest what Christmas presents you might want, but obviously you can't comment on what was given in the past. Thanks Chew

I am plannign a change regarding the creature recruiting cost. I intend to make cost as a percentage of your total Wi/Ve , not as fixed value. The first one to change is Wi, it will cost like 10 to 70% of your max Wi, like this recruiting costs differently based on player, and is more adapted to how this resource works (it regenerated over time). If you have anything to say about this, write here and i will consider it, and delay or change this as needed, otherwise i will do the change as soon as i have some time for it.

Please post below with the given format, to report whether a token is working or not. Each player confirming its working will be allowed to apply that token to any creature of theirs. Each player finding a bug will also get an additional one to apply. You are welcome to disagree with someone posting above (whether its working or not) and the correct one will be given the token. Please blank out the non-related token information in your print screens so its super clear which one you are reporting List of tokens: antifreeze darkshield stardust purpurmoon blacktear onyxfangs blackdiamonds firedrop …

I created some new shard abilities, so that other creature species can benefit from sacrificing crits with shard abilities. I remind you that the "Storage Shard" will not give any sacrificng benefits, it is meant only for shards transfer. Here are the new abilities, consider them UNTESTED and a startup example for whoever (from A25 team) wants to create more similar. Beasts: Stomp Every 3 turns halves the vitality of crippled enemies, leaving them still alive. Winged: Wings Supremacy Initiative gets multiplied by the number of winged allies. Grasan: Horrific Posterior Once every 2 kills, shows his horrific posterior to the public, s…

The survey was split into two parts, freeform text input questions and a standard 1-5 Likert scale. The questions were as follows: What would you change about the event and why (+5 plushies) What do you think worked well about the event and why (+5 plushies) What other ideas could you suggest to make next year's celebration even better? (+5 plushies) What other events would you want run during the birthday? (+5 plushies) Any other comments about the event (+5 plushies) The Likert scale questions asked you to rate the importance of the following aspects of birthday quests/events. Participants were given 10 plushies for filling these in…

Dev edition - will probably be reset later when complete This is how it is supposed to work: Santa in slot 6 gets attack based on how healthy the caster is and how many kills the santa has. Santa has obviously no kills, and also has nothing to do with the attack as it can not attack.. but the attack bonus will become meaningful when an other shard will really piss off Santa and make him viciously attack. Targeting slot 6 makes it possible to use all other crits to place enhancements and modify behaviour of this slot. Using slot 6 because if crits attack in order, 6 will be last, but you can use any slot when creating shards. Of course, the c…

Some of the old MD scenes have an issue where the clickable images "shift" (typically to the right or left) once they have loaded, causing visible motion in the scene. If you have found a scene that does this please post it here. Please add the following information to the post: upload an image, circling/highlighting the clickable in question the scene coordinates. We will give 1 silver per scene/clickable that we fix. A25 members please feel free to fix them where you can, if you do fix one please create a forum PM with me and the reporter identifying how many you have fixed so I can send over the silver. Please also quote the forum post so we ca…

I am looking (initially) for one unique resource per land, that ideally can be used for buildings. An additional Ideal quality is that each resource will need to be "processed" into a secondary form before it can be used. Please also describe what tools would be used to gather the item, and what would be used to process them. E.g. LR - Lumber -> Processed Lumber GG - Stone -> Bricks Currently I am thinking only about resources for Marind Bell, Loreroot, Golemus and No mans land. The no mans land resources may be scattered through other lands too. Ideally the resource would be somewhat tied/related to the land. However suggestions for o…

I will be opening treasuries up to more than just Marind Bell with some notable changes. A treasury can be used to store items and creatures and allowing for alternative storage or a collaborative pool to be used. Taking items/creatures in and out of a storage has no penalty which confers several benefits to totemizing (although should not be used for trading penalty-less). Treasuries will however (going forward) require a maintenance fee to be paid weekly. If you have any questions about what treasuries are, please feel free to ask them on this topic. If you are a land leader, group leader (official or unofficial), etc, and would like a treasury pleas…

Hi all! I'm looking for someone to make me a new MP5 account by "legitimate" means. I will provide you the account, I need you to run it through the tutorial, off the island, and make it up to MP5. Also please have it beat the LR guards and shop guardians. I'm happy to provide some "wookie help" if you get stuck with something and need a bit of prodding. This will work by reverse bidding so I will name the highest I will pay for someone to do this, and people can bid lower. 7 days after the last bid, you win! I will contact you with the account. Edit: I will make it so you can attack them to speed the process along

Please look around the interface and take a screenshot (and say where it is) if there are any old terms that have been renamed to new ones. e.g. Anywhere where winertia is named value points, or heat scars are named XP. 3 silver for every print screen and accompanying text describing where it is please!

Today I have added in the structure and code to create upgradeable buildings in MagicDuel. These will allow players to pay resources towards a project which will, over time, grow and provide additional functionality. An example of this is a treasury that if properly maintained will grow and allow more items and creatures to be stored. There is a wide range of possibilities with this that I plan to expand this to encompass and I am sure the A25 team can come up with ideas that I have not even considered! Some examples include contributing resources to your lands armoury to provide bonuses, charging fees at land boundaries (if protected!), and even the ability to block…

I am working on a new interface page, to show corelations between items. I need your help building this page, so here is what i need: Tell me about item corelations ALREADY EXISTING at this moment. I need _exact_ item name (copy pasted pls) and what could it turn to (also copy pasted item name), and what items places (coords) or circumstances are needed for that particular transformation to happen. For example to build you Molima you need x, y, z items. Imagine it will be a sort of branched legend showing all possible items and what they could turn into, and what items are required to obtain them. Please send these to me in private, as …

I am looking for interesting calendar events that happened in the past in MagicDuel. I will pay one silver for each entry with a date, year and description if I add it into MD. I will pay an additional two silver coins for any entry that also is linked to a forum post or similar linkable event. Please post below (one event per post) so I can review and add them, thanks!

So, since my return I have been considering what project to throw my obsessive energies into. On the one hand, I’ve realized that my sweeping Lost Path Adventure clickie quest only encompassed lands that MP3 could reach, and that a Loreroot and a GG quest are begging to be created. On the other hand, those would not address the most pressing need of the realm, that being the dwindling population. You all may be slow-boiling lobsters, but my 8-year absence gives me a disturbing perspective. With the GWI project stalled, it would be premature to try to draw in more players. The process needs to be, in sequence: 1) Fix the bugs, soft locks, and polish the rough…

If you could pay something to reduce your heat, what would you consider an acceptable cost and what amount of heat would it take off you? This question relates to a new feature I am working on.

For full details of what the MD Rework 2021 project is please read the main thread. Overall since we have lost the LHO we have lost some mentorship roles and the ability to shepherd some of the new players more easily. In additional the Gateway Island has been pulled from the sea to move our newbies into the big world of MagicDuel. This has had some excellent work done on it but we can certainly improve it. The aim of this is to first bring up a core group of "LHO's" (to be renamed) to be helping on the island and then moving people towards the mainland. This group will also work with myself and other A25 members to tweak the island a little to improve it…

A few people contacted me saying that they feel death is too easy, with various quick revival methods and benefits, it akin to being a holiday. A few have been submitted to me already, but if anyone has any ideas how they think it could be made somewhat more painful feel free to send me a message or post here. Current ideas being discussed are: Permanent principle Loss Permanent stat loss (including AP) Creature stat loss (wins, shards, Age) Item loss

Those who already have A25 please have a read through this post and ask me any questions about it (this post needs the A25 password, ask me on PM if you need it and want to be involved) I think its best to split it by land, don't worry if you miss any scenes because I can search the DB to find missing ones pretty easily if I script something up. Any A25 members please say which land you want to do (please only take one at a time) Do you want to do the same lands as before?

For full details of what the MD Rework 2021 project is please read the main thread. An economy needs inputs as well as outputs, if you have too few inputs them your system will be starving and not function properly. However if there are not enough outputs there will be less reasons for people to participate in the system and items will accumulate inside the system. A good example currently is that gold and silver is piling up in the MD economy (I believe) as there is less to spend/use it on. This project aims to attempt to create a small economy which encourages people to use it and then slowly improve on it. In doing so we need to review what it currently do…

For full details of what the MD Rework 2021 project is please read the main thread. Illusions are currently somewhat underused, primarily because they are buggy and have "zeroed" out people's accounts so they have lost everything. There is currently a manual process to backup accounts put into illusions but restoring it is complex and time consuming. Part of the work I plan to be doing on this is stabilising the system so it is easier to use and not likely to break an account. The project has two halves, the first will be something I will be working on behind the scenes: I will be slowly pausing all illusion entering methods so I can safely "pause" …

For full details of what the MD Rework 2021 project is please read the main thread. Land loyalty is somewhat of a silly concept because it does not relate to how loyal you are to a land. As the current implementation is it is better described as a "land presence". The aim of this project is to: Review how land loyalty is gained Review what it is used for (so we have a list) Discuss whether we think its uses are useful (or whether we need to change them to work with something else) Discuss ideas to improving it, or splitting it into multiple metrics I could quite easily see this project removing the "original" idea of land loyalty an…
