love this game. the game is very chill, og, and fun. i think need more opponent, more card, more features, just MORE UPDATE!!i can't wait for next update . also i think you should make this game mod able. i sure this game will have a great community. my rate is 100/10
Just got an error message and a blank screen. Just finished the combat round directly before the king, was heading into the final shop screen. Figure I'd post the console output in case is helpful
This is one of the best games I have ever played. It is fun, quick to get into and has enough depth. I don't know if you're still working on the game but it has so much potential. Goodluck on whatever you're working on rn :D
Replicated. This happens when skull lvl 2 has bone and there are no spots left in row.
I looked at the code and there is a bug in gml_Script_EffectTypesAfterDeath. The issue is that when the skull has a bone, it first creates a boner directly under the lvl 2 skull that died. This succeeds. However, after this happens, it will attempt to create a lvl 1 skull. This fails since there are no spots left. (the return value of gml_Script_Summon is invalid). However, the code then tries to apply the effect of the skull - namely to give the lvl 1 skull the bone item. To do this, it attempts to access the skull instance with the return value of gml_Script_Summon. This return value was invalid though since there were no spots left. Hence, it will crash.
also i had replied to this but seems that itch ate my reply! ill get it fixed in the weekend, though weird that i didn't spot that one (i always thought the bug was in the Summon script itself, damn)
The mail ghoul is object type 0 on the browser and I think it just thought the invalid instance with id 0 returned by the summon script was a mail ghoul.
My first super-maxed (99/99) unit! And also my first Turn 20+ victory! I guess if you wanted, an update could just immediately give the King maxed stats at T20+ too, since you definitely need to know how to reach that point anyways.
Great game, I return to it from time to time. Yesterday I have finally achieved my goal to win 10 consecutive games without a HP loss, it was fun :). Looking forward for possible updates.
The game can be played in browser for free in its latest version here and on Newgrounds, you can also buy and download it here on a pay-what-you-want basis.
Death to capitalism! Love this game, the art is amazing, themes and music are both really good, balancing the paths and trying to predict how things will go is really fun, 10/10 also I am very gay for necromancer lady.
Interface bug: Farmer says it gives +2 health, but it gives +1 at level 1 and +2 at level 2.
EDIT: Another bug I noticed is the audio. After you lose a game and restart, it keeps playing the "game over" screen music and regular music at the same time.
Hey! I have idea! What about a vampire that heal 1 HP for every enemy it attack. It could be either three or fourth bones as level and the stats would be 1 attack and 4 HP at merge one. At merge 2 could have 2 Attack 5-7 HP and heal 2 HP for every hit. Mabye to OP but It's still an idea
I've seen Knights and Archers in turns before getting T4 units, and sometimes Snitches appear a wave earlier than expected. Is it ok to ask when exactly do specific enemies appear, or if it's based on current tier or based on castle health?
I'm pretty sure things are partly based on time, partly based on castle damage.
Stop Signal might tell us... but the other person would be ja_kingy, who I believe dug into the code a bit in order to craft their 4 turn win, and thus probably knows some details behind the scenes.
After a little bit of digging, my current understanding of how it works is:
The enemy units from previous turns actually carry over to the next turn. However, at the start of each turn, a 'summoning' occurs which inserts some number of new enemy units or replaces old units with a different type. The exact number is based on a bit of randomness, turn number, player health and king health.
Each turn, some new units are added or replace old units.
For the first three turns, only Supporter can be added
For the next two turns, Supporter, Royalist, Snitch can be added
For the next three turns, Guard, Royalist, Snitch can be added
For all remaining turns or when the king life is less than 12, Archer, Knight, APC, Guard can be added.
Then, an enemy type is chosen uniformly at random from the possible options.
This enemy will then be inserted randomly at the end of an available row.
If no space can be found, the weakest enemy in the lane is replaced.
Finally, if this is the round when the king comes out, the princes and king replace the units in the first spots.
For reference,
tier 1 bones starts first turn
tier 2 starts third turn
tier 3 starts sixth turn
tier 4 starts 11th turn (or when king health drops below 12)
These do not align exactly with the stages of more difficult enemies, hence you seeing some archers and knights or snitches early.
Good job on 7 turns, but nah- definitely not the first. Have to go back to older comment pages, but pretty sure there's a 6 turn win somewhere around here.
Someone even manage a 4 turn win I think? But that was after jiggling the probabilities in the shop a bit.
Hello, dude! Its maybe my failure, but... I do not have any sounds or music in the game. And also I dont see any options and my game can be only in windows mode (I cant make it in fullscreen mode... Or even make the game in bigger screen...)
I dont know, may be its not errors and everything of it should be, but you have a link in the game to musicwriter (Or no...?), so, I guess, that its a real bug
Upd: Oh, wait, about the sounds was not a bug, its just me dummy :p
But anyway, the game does not have fullscreen mode...
I really love playing this game! Hard somwtimes. But I really hope you proceed to continue working on this game. Plus. Love this game so hard I drew some fan art!

I managed to win thanks to Excalibur with Blessing but it took me a while :D
It would be nice to have stats (lost game count, ...)
I beat it and I'm proud; Took about fourty attempts.Guess I suck at turn-based stratigy.
Oh yeah it's a good game too! (5.1out/of5)
Love this game. My favorite part was probably the summoning units, you can just build up an army of summons lol
Just got an error message and a blank screen. Just finished the combat round directly before the king, was heading into the final shop screen.
Figure I'd post the console output in case is helpful

Won the game with 0 health remaining using big bone and summoning synergy (bard + guitarist + summoner) by turn 12. Hard game, but really fun.
This is one of the best games I have ever played. It is fun, quick to get into and has enough depth. I don't know if you're still working on the game but it has so much potential. Goodluck on whatever you're working on rn :D
The game is original and I enjoyed it, even if it's a lil bit difficult. The skeletons are so funny, specially Excalibur (I love excalibur) :D
I was curious how high you can juice up Excalibur, by stacking level 3 blacksmith and delayed Excalibur upgrades.
Feature request: please implement 3-digit numbers, so I can one-shot the king even harder 😁. My boy would have had over 180 damage if it were allowed.

Problem snippet:
This same error should effect lvl3 skull also.
also i had replied to this but seems that itch ate my reply! ill get it fixed in the weekend, though weird that i didn't spot that one (i always thought the bug was in the Summon script itself, damn)
interesting, ghouls aren't even able to be played. Gonna check how that got triggered
The mail ghoul is object type 0 on the browser and I think it just thought the invalid instance with id 0 returned by the summon script was a mail ghoul.
Великолепная игра :)
We need Chinese!!!
Finally got the elusive 6Turn win
Dang... nicely done.
awesome. How did you do it?
我几乎都要为这个游戏疯狂了，我在未登录时输了四次，只赢了一次（crying）
但它依旧是个好游戏
I'm almost going crazy about this game, I've lost four times when I'm not logged in, and I've only won once (crying)
But it's still a good game.
Ok......but when will we get these options......im hungry for more
Its perfect💚💚💚💚
My first super-maxed (99/99) unit! And also my first Turn 20+ victory! I guess if you wanted, an update could just immediately give the King maxed stats at T20+ too, since you definitely need to know how to reach that point anyways.
Cant charm the king 0/10
WE NEED UPDATE
I love this game and the art style(=^･ω･^=)
especially the Character called big boned
Pls update /ᐠ ╥ ˕ ╥マ
this is one of the best games ive every played
I'm in love with this game and when you release it (I hope on steam), certainly I'll buy it!
I'm from Brazil and tryed it on my youtube channel.
Great game, I return to it from time to time. Yesterday I have finally achieved my goal to win 10 consecutive games without a HP loss, it was fun :).
Looking forward for possible updates.
Hey guys, I made a wiki for this game!
Some parts (like the King's stats per turn or how enemy progression works) are incomplete but there's plenty of content there.
https://autonecrochess.wiki.gg/
Ooooh, good job! i finished adding pages for the Spells & Items section and added some content on other pages
I really like this game. Is any update coming? Or is it aviable elsewhere?
The game can be played in browser for free in its latest version here and on Newgrounds, you can also buy and download it here on a pay-what-you-want basis.
ye,finaly i won
Death to capitalism! Love this game, the art is amazing, themes and music are both really good, balancing the paths and trying to predict how things will go is really fun, 10/10 also I am very gay for necromancer lady.
Oh, btw. I won the game without losing any hp :p
HI stopsignal im a big fannnn this game is really fun!!!!
btw i cant wait to play the deck mode,how is the update?
Interface bug: Farmer says it gives +2 health, but it gives +1 at level 1 and +2 at level 2.
EDIT: Another bug I noticed is the audio. After you lose a game and restart, it keeps playing the "game over" screen music and regular music at the same time.
Let's goooo. I took me like 10 tries, but finally beat the king with 0 hp left. I love the different viable strategies. 10/10 would recommend!
finaly, after at least 10 tries i beat the game (with 0 health)
Hey! I have idea! What about a vampire that heal 1 HP for every enemy it attack. It could be either three or fourth bones as level and the stats would be 1 attack and 4 HP at merge one. At merge 2 could have 2 Attack 5-7 HP and heal 2 HP for every hit. Mabye to OP but It's still an idea
(Would draw a design but I'm to tired to do it.)

Planning to make a wiki for this game soon.

Yep, definitely did look into this stuff.
I definitely can find this out for you, but it's been a while since I've dug into the code.
After a little bit of digging, my current understanding of how it works is:
The enemy units from previous turns actually carry over to the next turn. However, at the start of each turn, a 'summoning' occurs which inserts some number of new enemy units or replaces old units with a different type.

tier 4 starts 11th turn (or when king health drops below 12)
These do not align exactly with the stages of more difficult enemies, hence you seeing some archers and knights or snitches early.
pretty accurate, id say!
This is really helpful! Thank you! (The wiki has been up for a while btw)
Looks like I was the first guy who won this game in 7 turns, but I cant even write about it :(
P.S. Oh, I can writing something. Looks like I cant only send pictures here?
Anyway
My win in 7 turns was my the first win here, and I got it in the ~9th try
Good job on 7 turns, but nah- definitely not the first. Have to go back to older comment pages, but pretty sure there's a 6 turn win somewhere around here.

Fun and addictive. I have yet to beat the game yet, but i've gotten close.
I really love playing this game! Hard somwtimes. But I really hope you proceed to continue working on this game. Plus. Love this game so hard I drew some fan art!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THANKS
<3
THX means a lot to me.
