Encounter System

Draw Steel · published 10 Jun 2026, 16:51 UTC · build 23655955

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Version 0.0.740 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available.

This week we have:

Expanded Encounter System

  • Encounters can now have multiple "waves" specified when building them, including which round the waves arrive.

  • When a new wave is available, a button on the combat tracker is available to the Director to spawn the new wave.

  • Encounters now allow you to choose the victory condition for the encounter from several possible options as well as the number of Victories the encounter is worth.

  • The Director gets some "Objective Text" on the combat tracker telling them about the victory condition and how close the players are to achieving it. There is a control to share this text with the players.

Victories

  • Once victory is achieved the Director can press a button to show a victory screen and award the players victories.

Other new features

  • New abilities display! Modifiers to abilities now populate in the ability preview display and are explained via notes at the bottom. Changes to power roll tiers are highlighted bold to indicate what is changed from the base ability.

  • The following Echelon 2 Demons have been implemented: Gunge, Tormenauk

  • Dock Scale option allows you to choose the size of the side docks.

Bug fixes

  • Updated Gnoll Cackletongue trigger to last until end of turn (previously was until end of round)

  • Fixed several Gnoll traits such as Death Frenzy to activate only when non-minion allies die.

  • Tactician Kits now correctly merge. Abilities split into melee and ranged options correctly differentiate based on melee and ranged damage bonuses from combined kits

  • Overflow damage to Summoner after Summon squad killed added • Rework minion coordinating target

  • Improvements to Summoner Caverly Charge. Bronze to Silver implementation.

  • Correct Fury Stormwright's Furious Change language from Rage to Ferocity

  • Correct Human Brawler's Haymaker ability dealing extra damage to non-grabbed targets.

  • Correct Elemental Summoner Walking Boulder Death Trigger not costing 1 Essence

  • Fixed an issue where the start of turn heroic dice roll could steal the dice from a start of turn damage dice roll and prevent the damage dice roll from rolling

  • Changed revitalizing ritual to still be hidden on token, but show in the tactical panel
