When will pvp_main.exe exist?

Probably a few days. Maybe longer if I decide to add new cards first instead.

Why are you releasing this early then?

Aethermancer has a bit of a learning curve. I want people to have time to learn the game.

Do draws exist?

No.

What happens if both people's life total are reduced to 0 at the same time?

The person with the less negative life total wins.

What if they are the same?

The game continues until this is no longer the case.

Does the AI cheat?

Tricky and Visionary look at your cards. Other than that, no.

What do the AI levels do?

See the devlog: https://masn3.itch.io/aethermancer/devlog/895844/improving-the-ai-in-aethermance...

I keep losing to AI5. Is there a black advantage?

No. (Unlike Spectromancer!) The AI is just good, I only beat Visionary level AI two thirds of the time (at the time this was written, and the AI is constantly being improved), and I'm a pretty experienced player.

Then why does the Visionary AI always eval itself positive on turn 1?

It's an artifact of how the it prunes the search tree.

Can I play as black?

Not against AI. You're black 50% of the time in online multiplayer.

Will you ever let me play as black against AI?

No.

Did you seriously add X-bow to your game?

Yes.

Why?

Aether is whatever you think it is, and at least one person thought it meant summoning X-bows.
