Thanks a lot for the thoughtful comment! ❤️
I didn't even mean for the green pearl event to be affected by the mark. It definitely shouldn't be as it needs to be more rare. At least not the same amount as the normal trinket event. And yes, they should be called trinkets. They're called relics in the game code but "should" be called trinkets everywhere where it's visible. Though this internal naming confusion has bled a bit to the descriptions too but now everything should be saying "trinket".
The divine being fights are not avoidable in the endgame. Just to make it pose more threats and potential run enders. The same for the clam boss really. The clam should be pretty much a counter to mass pearl builds but I guess it still isn't really a counter enough and the boss can still be a pushover with some combinations or just loads of birds. Birds overall might be a bit "too good" against plated dice and since the clam only has a single cargo piece, you don't even have the normal drawback of random targeting.
Maybe I just need to design an anti bird boss now... 🤔
You're on the right track for the wish event. Will for sure add pearl as a trigger word to it. Gotta think about whether to allow "frog" or just "crew". Been thinking about increasing the letter pool from 9 to 12 too as just having 9 letters limits the options so much.
Meeting the king now with the prince might probably be too rare too just due to a bigger pool of possible events. Need to look into whether that chance needs to be boosted somehow.
