2026-09-27: "Undead Horde", Leaderboard Changes, and so many fixes

On Steam

- Added a new Module "Undead Horde" after capturing 3 points of value, stockfish creates a pawn.
⠀⠀- Piece destruction now shares between abilities that don't require full sacrifice,
⠀⠀⠀meaning the more of them there are, the slower they fill
- Changed the leadboard equation:
⠀⠀- Before it was 500 (if won) + 10 * score - (moves * (-1 if lost) - undos
⠀⠀- Now it's just raw logic. Wins beat losses, tie broken by score, tie broken by moves (reveresed for losses), tie broken by undo's
⠀⠀- Congrats CyanRainNin for topping the leaderboard!
⠀⠀⠀⠀...At least before I did a QA match with the new Module
⠀⠀⠀⠀Still. Absolutely crazy to see you won with just Sacrifice, seriously impressive.
- Added move-assist. More sparkles = more better. Bigger move paths = better eval.
- Added ability explainers for:
⠀⠀- Sacrifice
⠀⠀- Roll
⠀⠀- Conversion
- Bug/UI fixes:
⠀⠀- Fixed bug where controller inputs were blocked in main menu
⠀⠀- Removed full-scope move dots after tutorial
⠀⠀- Your leaderboard entries are now always highlighted
⠀⠀- Can now exit move history with empty click/tap
⠀⠀- Fixed issue where player could click through rules text and activate move history
⠀⠀- Tapping rules text now shows move preview
⠀⠀- Fixed spacing in move history to fit O-O-O O-O-O
⠀⠀- Fixed missing X/Y shortcuts for jumping between player and stockfish abilities in the tutorial
⠀⠀- Added some rules text clarity. Your abilities can't put the opponent in check, vice versa.
