It was mentioned in one of the developer interviews that additional Timelines per syndicate are not intended.
|
|
|
|
Which is great, but very unexpected, given the nature of most existing card games to always invent new mechanics a set.
|
|
So the idea that something like [[Splintergleam]] will always have [[Volcanic Rivers]] and [[Torment]] are not expected.
|
|
One would expect timelines outside of that lava theme, and that blood mechanic. Or again, how this means [[Silence]]
|
|
will only ever have access to one timeline, [[Voiceless Sky]].
|
|
|
|
The reason I like this is simple, other card games throwing out mechanics always feels irksome. Like mechanics often
|
|
feel like they don't get enough support before they are thrown out, so your left in an unfinished state. And if a
|
|
particular mechanic is liked, well unless it's "evergreen," it's probably gone. So I like these timelines being
|
|
evergreen.
|
|
|
|
Point is, get used to these timelines.

They did, also to my surprise, mention more Syndicates are a possibility, so if new timelines do come into existence, it
|
|
will probably be via that vector.
|
|
|
|
5-6 factions seems typical for card games, so I wouldn't expect a 7th given the obvious problems that can cause. Such as
|
|
the additional factions feeling they lack cards. But the devs in interview clearly do not feel this is the case. Because
|
|
mono isn't really a thing, syndicates are mostly used in pairs, so any new syndicate pairing would have access to all
|
|
the cards in it's pair.
|
|
|
|
Anyways, new syndicates with new timelines belonging to them. Interesting to think about.
