Jaden Yuki But the pawn with summoning sickness can only move three times a turn, and only diagonally 2 squares, and up 1. If it passes over multiball, your pieces are immune to it for 2 turns.
Patch 4.5.3: Pieces can now be brainwashed to change sides, and dramatic speeches can motivate your pieces to perform better. Pieces can now move in either player's turn, and move pawns can move 3 spaces forward if your CHA stat is high enough.
@@davidalearmonth No, only Gold can affect Mercenaries. Gold can be mined by occupying your opponents corner squares, and are just one of several new resources that can be acquired during play, the others being Wood, Food, Water, Stone and Coal. These resources can be used to provide a variety of benefits, allowing you to upgrade pieces, produce new units or build structures on the board that can give you a tactical advantage. There is also the much rarer "Mana" resource, that is used solely to empower your new Wizard, Cleric and Druid pieces and allows you to cast game changing spells.
This reminds me how I and my cousin used to play chess. We replaced the pieces with Pokemon-figurines, and added types and special powers accordingly. My Misdreavus-queen who could move through other pieces was pretty OP.
Me and my brother did something like this once. Different pieces had different attacks you could use to take out pieces in addition to the regular way.
I can't believe they would nerf my side like this. The two sets play very differently and this "balancing" is just an attempt to draw in more casuals at the expense of the current meta. G5 is obviously more important than B4, so my side is now just in omnishambles. I still have hope they will fix this in the next patch, but if not, I will have no other choice but to quit playing.
+Kai Peters Only if it gives bonus points for Dressage clashes. I'm not using my one equipment slot for armor value on what should be a skirmish piece.
This is due to a lesser known quirk during chess's early years, during development the models and textures for the "knight" as we know it today were unlabeled, The serfs involved in alpha testing gave it the nickname "horse" due to it's placement next to the bishop (who often owned horses) and the name stuck.
See, they don't even have to buy the rights from anyone, they could just make the game. They could even call it Chess 2.0. Maybe we should do it first. . .
On my turn I equip Skullknight to this one Black Pawn piece, and in response to it dying, I sac it to Bishnod's Altar. Skullknight triggers, I draw two power cards, The Pawn King triggers, I get two black Pawns. I can repeat this process as long as I want. I play Labrooktory Maniac, and draw my last few power cards to win the game.
So I need a judge on this... So my gigantic king moved ona acid trap but in response I activated my power card "follow the priest" allowing it to switch with my lv.8 bishop that already had indestructibility until the charge wore off but then my opponent laid "fusion cycle" causing me to sacrifice a bishop with 400 xp so I reserected my other bishop but then I got hit with a "blizzard of knives causeing all the pieces surrounding the gigaking to take 200 points of damage so can I sacrifice my bishop while it is on the blue square activating multiball and does multiball trigger before the bishop dies to knives or do I lose my gigaking all my bishops and a pawn leading up to 10000 Xp so I could lay "raise the lost and win by attacking with my angel or deaths wings flying above me?
@@christiangarza8122 but wait, gigaking changes megaball's effects, remember? Shouldn't that mean that instead the floop gets scherwitzeled, and the entire board position gets flipped?
Multiball: All pieces hit by a red ball die, and all pieces hit by a blue ball level u[. If a piece is hit by both balls, add 3 to one of it's attributes until your next turn instead of leveling or killing it.
I have to say, those changes might bring me back into the game. I played it a bunch as kind, but it grew stale after a while, now I have something exciting to try out.
Honestly, I'd say white moving twice every 4th move would be significantly stronger than a queen, especially with a lot of material on the board. Maybe trap cards change things though.
Also, found a bug with the new Chess rules. If Multiball comes into play after activating the Giga King Acid Trap, then any pawns left on the field are stuck in place. Workaround: Continue playing with the rest of the pieces, using "Viking Secret Wildcard Poker" rules to determine which pawn to sacrifice towards summoning the Caravan of Infinite Sands.
That is not a bug. That's a direct result of the Giga King Acid Trap. However, to unstick all the pawns, play power card #328756849, and you get 2 Giga Kings. When they pass over Multiball for the 2nd time in 17 turns, then the pawns get unstuck, but all cards named Caravan of Infinite Sands are removed from the game. It's really simple, when you think about it.
"Associate Professor of Moving in an 'L' Shape at the Chess University of Spuzzum, British Columbia" Monty Python would be proud of this title. This has to be one of the best sketches to date!
"The first time your opponent plays a fire immunity card on his giga-king and moves onto what he THINKS is a lava trap, only to find out you changed it to a spike trap 3 turns ago and now your rooks have double XP? That's what chess is all about."
David Sirlin, designer of yomi, puzzle strike, kongai, and other games, actually did make an update to chess. It's called chess 2, you can choose between multiple armies, there's an alternate win condition, and there's a bidding system that you can use to protect pieces. It's weird but fun and you can play it with a normal chess board.
Is it possible to get a print-out of this? Kind of want to try it out now. Love how excited Paul got when he was explaining what Chess was all about at the end.
Okay, black gets two queens and white has two actions every 4th turn. Okay, but where the second queen goes? I want to know because I want to play this patch.
I played this version of Chess with my brother. It was fun, but acid traps are dumb, and the dual queen black gets totally changes their playstyle, and creates bias towards different sides based on playstyles. I hope the new patch (based on player demand, of course) fixes the pawn-moving-backward "bug", reverting it back, 'cause that's just unfair. Also, our power-decks were exactly identical based only on what they said, so only 6 card types, but eh, still good.
There's something similar to the power cards, at least, called Knightmare chess... The best part is the set comes with blank cards, so you can make your own. It wouldn't take too much tweaking to make this set work with New Chess... If someone came up with official rules.
this could be a pretty interesting game... the closest analogy is that some one I once met was making a game like this called dragon chess. last I heard it was doing fairly well.
I bet there is a power card that lets you put a piece on a BayBlade top, let it rip and capture any pieces which are hit. Unless they have a specific resistance against that of course.
The opening graphic was immense, and Graham's stark face never ceases to amaze the crowds. Still, Chess needs a patch. Nothing big, just something to stop King-v-King chases, draws in general (they're quite common!), and the hype of 'equal sides'. You can call it balancing all you want, but Hearthstone points out that having second initiative drastically changes the way you play. Not to mention that most games are literally by the books, due to a lack of synergy between pieces. But luckily, I have the answer. It's a mix of having multiple balls on the field, a 'nuke' token and several Large Hydron Colliders to accentuate the new Kamikaze and Heal spells.

Ugh. They got rid of Castlehacking but they still won't fix the En Passant glitch? Figures. FIDE doing their "job" as usual I see.
Maybe they'll change it in every country except France.
I think that was in the patch notes. Not everything made it on TV. You have to admit that that glitch was not very well known.
they tried geting rid of en passant, but there were too many scenarios in which it softlocked the game.

Patch 4.5.3 will make the Knights move in a W shape.
..and all queens can now teleport to any non-occupied square on the half of the board they presently occupy...
Tap two pawns to score a second queen. Third one costs four.

Jaden Yuki But the pawn with summoning sickness can only move three times a turn, and only diagonally 2 squares, and up 1. If it passes over multiball, your pieces are immune to it for 2 turns.
New piece added in 4.5.4 the pikeman, which moves like a knight
Why do I want official rules for this.
I know about Knightmare chess, actually, and while it is fun I want chess that somehow has a multiball mechanic.

needs to be made... *picks up pencil and stack of index cards*

You can upgrade a pawn to any other piece. There's plenty of character customization there already

1d6 per turn

This seems more like a full version update than a slight update, I think it should have been version 5.0
