Fantasy Gwent - A Whole New Way of Playing

Description

The idea of Geralt going around collecting cards of himself and his friends is extremely awkward and unimmersive to me. I also didn't care for a lot of the vanilla mechanics. If anyone else out there feels the same, welcome.

This mod redoes Gwent to have nothing to do with the witcher's world while fully altering all decks, availability, and play style, changing the details, stats, and general integration of the card game. The pacing of the turns has been drastically sped up as well.

There are 5 factions available from the start of the game.

You receive near-full decks for all factions upfront, which means you don't need to rely on one particular deck from the start.

Other cards can be acquired by winning games, completing quests, and visiting merchants. Many extra cards to strengthen your decks can be bought or won along the way.

There are no neutral cards. Every faction has its own special cards.

A number of new cards have been added and all cards have had their stats and abilities completely redone to support more specialized play styles.

Deck banners and card backs have been recolored to better fit each theme, some icons were changed, and regional coats of arms for each deck have been removed.

Each faction has a unique visual theme and play style:

Gods and Demons

Melee and siege focus with a number of champion cards and heavy-hitting comrades-in-arms and camaraderie cards.

Elven Guard

Ranged and melee focus with a large number of double agents and several strong rally groups.

Magical Beasts

Melee and ranged focus with several very strong siege cards and a high number of multi-row rally groups.

Guardians of the Realm

High mobility focus with most cards playable on any row, plus several rally groups and strong comrades-in-arms sets.
