Gwent: Fan Ideas
Feel free to post all the ideas you have for the Gwent game into this thread! May it serve the devs as an inspiration! : )
Okay here are some of mine!
Different Battlefields:
Instead of the same Gwent board, there could be different battlefields based on locations from the Witcher world that would be chosen randomly at the start of each game.
There would be locations that would give an optional perk to the factions, such as Skellige Islands would give some sort of boost to you if you play Skellige deck but if you decide to use the boost, it comes with some sort of disadvantage to make the match balanced.
Or, just like the spy cards, you have 2 boosts but you cannot see any of them, so you randomly choose one and the other one is given to your opponent.
A bit of a gamble but that's what makes the game more unpredictable!
Or for example, in Touissant battlefield, you cannot use the frost card because it's always sunny : )
Then there would be neutral locations.
Lore abilities:
Those would be hard to implement to make the game balanced so this is more of a fun idea : )
But basically, you would have abilities that would reference what happened in the Witcher games and maybe books.
Such as:
1.) Adda and Radovid - Radenian lore combo.
Adda card (Northern Realms), if Radovid card is not used (or his leader ability if he is optional leader for Northern Realms), after 4 turns, Adda turns into Striga and destroys 3 random cards from either your or your opponent's battlefield.
After that, each turn, Adda: The Striga will be destroying one of your cards : )
The only way to kill her is for either you or your opponent to play a wicher card (Geralt, Lambert, Eskel, Vesemir, Letho).
If Radovid is used (enters the battlefield or his leader ability is used) before the time runs out, she turns into Adda: Queen of Radenia and gives boost to all Radenian themed units.
2.) Power of the Lodge
The more lodge sorceresses there are on the board, the stronger they become.
Does not work on the Loc Muinne battlefield : ) Or has the opposite effect - they become weaker : D
Also does not work if Shilard card is on the board.
This would be hard to implement because it would put Norhtern Realms at an advantage since most sorceresses are from that deck.
Neutral: Yeneffer, Triss.
Northern Realms: Philippa, Sile, Rita, Keira, Sabrina.
Scoiatael: Francesca (leader), Ida.
Nilfgaard: Assire, Fringilla.
Skellige: None.
Don't know how I would balance this one since Skellige does not have any faction specific member of the Lodge.
3.) Philippa's mind control
If your Scoiatael opponent has Saskia on the board and you play Philippa, Saskia card goes to your hand and you can either play her as the dragon Sassanthesis destroying opponent cards or as Saskia: Queen of Upper Aedirn and 3 random non-humans from your opponent's board switch to your side.
Okay those are just few examples of things that came to mind : )
Let me know your ideas and what you'd like to see in the game!
