| In-game event | 1.0.13 Overdraw, Salient, Poseidon Rework & Initial AI Changes Patch Notes Areteion v1.0.13 Overdraw So far, drawing with a full hand was always just skipped, which led to lots of frustration and confusion. Now drawing an 8th card will be possible, but immediately afterward a choice will force the player to offer one of the 8 cards in hand to the Olympians. Only then, further effects will continue to run. AI AI now uses a completely new neural network base… | — | |
