Stealthing assassins, rampaging rhinos, and gigantic floating machines? SAGA’s battlefield just got a little more interesting. With the recent launch of the Unit of the Week program, potential new allies and unfamiliar foes are appearing all the time.

The preliminary wave of units kicked off with the great dragon, which is not only the game’s first neutral flying unit, but also its first ultra-rare. Six faction-specific cards of varying rarities followed. Here’s a quick peak at some of the new warriors:

Great Dragon – Ultra Rare

Special: Units in target area (30m) suffer 35-165 damage, -25 morale, and -20% DR for 30 seconds.

Dark Elf Assassin – Uncommon

Special: Assassins are invisible, movement -50%. First attack guaranteed hit at 200% damage.

Flying Fortress – Rare

Special: Drops hand cannoneers or hunters (25m) onto the battlefield for 120 seconds.

Humongous Ballistary – Uncommon

Special: Unit gains +100% range and -10% AR for 30 seconds.

Treant Warrior – Uncommon

Special: Treant Warriors are immobile, gain 1000% DR, and heal 500-750 HP for 45 seconds.

Giant Magi – Uncommon

Special: (passive) Enemy units in 20 yard range take -1% DR every 3 seconds.

(active) Enemy units in target range are sucked into the center of the target.

War Rhino – Uncommon

Special: (passive) Abomination has a +100% AR, +100% Damage, and +100% DR against infantry.

These are the newest units so far. Players have enjoyed the new units in this first wave. Saga are going to continue making new units, but listening to players’ reaction, they’re not going to release them one at a time. Stay tuned for information on upcoming cards, because you wouldn’t want to miss hero-class units, revolutionary new spells, and powerful new allies for each faction.

Some quick updates:

-> War Faction have been all re-dressed so they are more distinguishable than the orcs. Not only their armor and attire, but also their buildings.

-> At last, the spell system has been modified and updated:

• Spells ranks have been standardized. Uncommons now go up to 10 ranks, and rares go up to 5.
• The cost for spell creation is 5 CP, plus an additional CP for each rank (max cp for uncommons is 15C. For rares it’s 9 CP).
• The strength of effect and/or size of target of many spells has been increased at maximum rank. This is balanced by greater god favor requirements for higher spells ranks.
• All nations begin with a max of 100 god favor, and will gain an additional 10 god favor per level (450 god favor max).
• Spells are now one-time use during battle.

Remember to update your client to see and use all these changes!

Last Saturday, Monday and Tuesday Saga tested the Tournaments ‘live’. After extensive testing in-house, they gave us the opportunity to test the tournaments on a large scale so they can squish any bugs that did not show up when testing in-house. Many bugs has been spotted and eliminated, so tournaments should soon be available and stable.

• Each factions will get 4 new troops and 3 new spells;
• All factions will get 6 new common troops and 7 new common spells.

This will add up to a total of 55 new cards! There’s an active discussion on this subject on Saga’s page on Facebook. Come and join us there. Now considering the amount of new troops each faction will have, I hope that the CP is raised so these new troops can be accommodated into our existing armies easily…

I spent last weekend designing two cards:

This is one for the Light Faction the mythical Golden-Horn Unicorn.

This one is a Neutral spell card for all the Factions.

Hope you like and wish that at least one of them is chosen!

All 51 spells have been updated on the SAGA website, so anywhere the cards are shown like when redeeming booster packs or on the ’status’ screen of the ‘My Nation’ section, you’ll see the brand new art!

Thanks Saga Devs!
