"The best defense against defense is scarcity.
The best SUDO is the one that gets things done.
The best kill is the -9."
- Shang Tsu, Basic BASIC.
Tired of your rivals always having just enough redundancy to dodge your attacks?
Tired of not landing a single measly point of damage while you're holding the command that generates damage exponentially?
Tired in general?
SHORTAGE has the answer!
SHORTAGE reduces the redundancy generated BY EACH CARD by 2 points.
In other words, as long as the SHORTAGE victim has at least one stack, every command that adds redundancy will be affected by -2 points.
This mechanic works in stacks; each stack is removed AT THE END OF THE VICTIM'S TURN.
Commands were also added to Cyberattack and Utility to increase/reduce SHORTAGE.
SUDO didn't reflect how powerful the command is in the real world, so we decided to completely change its function.
It's now a command forge: you can modify deck commands in exchange for tokens.
How does it work? When you enter a SUDO node you'll be able to pick one of your deck's commands.
This opens the command modification screen, where you can perform a series of operations on the card for a cost in tokens.
Confirm the changes and "voilà", you have a "new" card to perfect your strategy.
It's worth noting that you can cancel/skip this option whenever you need to.
And well, as we said, this isn't free — it has a cost in tokens... For that reason, token gain per combat has been increased by 1.
New rewards:
- Basic combat : 2
- Elite combat (.EXE): 5
- BOSS combat : 7
- The (min: 1) is removed from commands that reduce RIVAL RAM. The tooltip now specifies that the minimum possible is 1.
- Improved responsiveness on the starting command package selection screen.
- Improvements to the SEGFAULT screen.
- Changes to the PIPE screen (it now offers all options).
That's all...
Happy hunting of "rogue" processes!
