Gate CTrailer · gate not open yet
Deedlords Arena
An auto-battler of sealed bids. Hire a crew from four guilds, place it on the hexes, and watch a fight that has no dice in it.
Bid in secret. Fight in the open.
- How is a crew hired?
- Both players bid for the same units at the same time, sealed. The bids are opened together, so nobody can answer a bid they have seen.
- Who decides the fight?
- Nobody. There are no dice in it: the same two crews on the same hexes always fight the same way, so anyone can replay a fight and check it.
- What is a crew made of?
- 16 units from 4 guilds in 4 roles. Units of one guild or one role on the floor together switch on a bonus for the whole crew.
- When does the gate open?
- Not yet. The Arena is on hold while Deedlords and poker are finished; until then this trailer is all of it you can see here.
