I feel like Fecundity's old effect should be a Field Mice exclusive and when you transfer Fecundity onto other cards, they should get this new Fecundity instead, brings more value into the Field Mice

[@viktor330]

This is an interesting compromise. Nice attempt to make the rodents not sacrifice fodder.

[@Predaplanter]

Oh like Ouroboros gaining attack after dying

[@oinkityoink]

@@Predaplanter yes and hodag

[@therustybucket221]

I always thought maybe make it so you can only play one of that card per turn (works the same but you can’t fill the board with 4 gecks in a turn) or have the sigil copied over once.

[@lucjanl1262]

Or make it rare card and not allow fecundity to appear on totems

[@flatfingertuning727]

Now we know why Kaycee had her "fire-related complications". She ruined one of Leshy's favorite cards, and he gave the settlers a heads-up the next time she was going to visit.

[@Drengr_Kami]

That one should have been illegal!! Oh my god!!!

[@yourchoicelp9599]

From what I've read, the Hydra-art is always bugged on the card itself, but is working, if you put the sigil on another unit (that turns that unit into a hydra, if the requirements are fulfilled).

[@charjetpersonal4140]

Also works if the card is revived by undying, even if it was an egg.

[@grilldtoazt330]

Once you unlock hydra, you can put the sigil on it w/o it bugging

[@ChiriVulpes]

I think fecundity needed a nerf since getting it always meant an instant win, but this nerf removed the entire point of fecundity. I think it would've been better if fecundity was just slowed down, like activating on played cards when you pass your turn, and then the played card loses its fecundity sigil. Instead we got the lamest version of the nerf

[@xiinite9]

Any infinite is always super hard to balance. Especially in a game like this where transferring abilities from card to card is a core out-of-combat mechanic.

[@magellan6439]

Ok but just don't use it if you want a challenge

[@martinshoosterman]

I disagree that it needed a nerf, if people didn't like it, they could just challenge themselves to not use it.

[@ChiriVulpes]

@@martinshoosterman Yes, they can. I have a whole bunch of times for example. But ultimately a nerf to it means gaining a new strategy that isn't an instant win. It allows for more varied non-OP games which I think is more fun

[@Sifd]

Making fecundity unable to sacrifice a fecundity card would be the simplest fix

[@Sifd]

I like all the fecundity ideas getting suggested! By they way, for the people who are pro-nerf: There is a whole discussion thread specifically for the nerf in the official Inscryption discord (not for the patch, ONLY for the nerf!) so it's not only me :D

[@Potatezone]

The Hydra would be a lot better if it inherited all of the stat and sigil upgrades that were on the egg/card. As it stands, the eggs are just expensive squirrels.

[@cluelessmango768]

So… a worse no-cost deck?

[@ghoulbuster1]

I think that's what supposed to do, but the card is bugged and doesn't work.

[@therustybucket221]

Hydra is honestly bad. Like, flame a mantis god once or transfer a mantis on to it and you’ve already created something equal but it can be flamed, sacced, and combined.

[@VladOOOO3]

I'm so "lucky" that I'm pretty sure I never saw field mice in the main act I gameplay, and in kaycee's mod... 2 or 3 times I guess Now imagine how I felt the last night - I didn't even notice that the game got updated, and I got both field mice and cockroach on the first trader node And then I played it the first fight... Leshy tells me that Kaycee nerfed it. And even asked her to NEVER mess with his staff again But that's not it On the first totem I got.. fecundity symbol. But guess what? IT STILL WORKS ON THE TOTEMS AS IT USE TO! *tho new cards doesn't get a visual, so it's probably a bug

[@VoidWorldGaming]

they should just make the field mice sigil have a 'power' value like 5 or something so every clone has 1 less power and once it reaches 1 will remove the sigil from the next clone

[@223salvador]

I loved that sigil cause it help me survi fatal blows or to kill the trapper properly dang it sucks

[@jakethesnake4040]

I think field mice sigil will still be good. It’s not as good to get a field mice card or put it’s sigil on another card. But if you get the totem it should still function the exact same. After all if you have an insect totem with that sigil, and you play a mantis and get a mantis back, that mantis should get the sigil again from the totem as it’s another insect

[@milkman4407]

PERMANENTLY!

[@kliveran]

Fecundity by itself wasn't the reason for the nerf, it was because if the sigil was transfered to a multiple cards it can easily make any card infinite like corpse maggots, geck, even ouroboros is too easy to make infinite stats using fecundity

[@VoidWorldGaming]

@@kliveran so it is fecundity... yeah this would nerf the infinite loop that your talking about tho, its not like if its transferred it would just become pre nerfed fecundity, with my idea it will still have the power value therefore making a infinity deck would still be impossible with it unless you have the undying sigil on the card

[@SewerWin]

The hydra seems pretty worthless tbh, the trifurcated/bifurcated strike along with every tribe seem good at a first glance, but you seemingly can’t flame them(not sure about sigil transfers either), and a mantis god + mantis is literally easier and faster with the mantis god deck

[@justice8718]

Actually, the card itself is currently bugged. Also, expect Mantis god to be nerfed for how powerful it is into becoming a two-sacrifice cost.

[@martinshoosterman]

First of all, you have 3 of them in your deck, not just 1. Second of all, they are all 1 bone costs. Meaning that they will almost always be effectively free units. And third of all, if you have any useful totem at all, then they will be buffed by it.

[@josephsherby]

I get the feeling this is less about making another viable deck and more about a self-imposed restriction to make the game harder. It’s a way for the game makers to increase the difficulty ceiling without also raising the difficulty floor. Perfect for players like Sifd who are so well-versed in this game that the other starter decks are almost always an easy win.

[@martinshoosterman]

@@josephsherby I don't think this accomplishes that though. The game is still fundementally a pretty easy game. Hand manipulation is still an almost gueurenteed win even in a 220 challenge run. Realistically the only thing this change does is slightly reduce the number of viable easy win strategies. And severely reduced the number of interesting meme strats.

[@milkman4407]

But but but 1 bone cost better mantis god that takes all totems

[@Kaskada_]

I finished this new challenge with this new deck with curious eggs. This is the most worthless card in this game. To gain new card, you have to ruin your deck with a weird combination of cards and you gain card, which you cannot upgrade. The only usefull thing on this is tribe and cost, thats it. However, curious egg (alone) could be a very good card if it will be upgraded with some of the flame or immortal sigil. Curious Egg alone can be very usefull, but his special effect? No, it's very worthless.

[@polaknasieci1331]

Curious egg should be changed so that instead of neading all of the challenges, each individual egg uses only one of each type (example: one egg needs a card with 3 attack, a card with 2 health, and a card of the bird tribe to hatch, another needs a card with 1 attack, 5 health and a reptile card ect.), and the hydra itself should have bifractured, trifractured and double attack, maybe sniper too just to make it more worth it. Flame buffs and transfer sigils should transfer over to the hydra too.

[@Necro_fury]

At first it thought it would change into various cards depending on how much you filled out, feel like you can get some use out of it that way before act 3 lol

[@MrSirSquishy]

[@silversteeldragunn]

Kaycee is officially a member of the "No fun brigade" I love how the blame gets pinned on her for nerfing Fecundity, ah yes, hide behind a fictional character while "balancing" the game XD I do hope that this isn't going to be an indication of what's to come, I think a huge draw of this game is how much you can break it open with crazy combos. Fecundity is a part of that IMO, if the worry is that the game is OP, why make Tri/Bi/DubHit better? I dunno. but like you said, this game isn't PVP, so broken cards shouldn't be THAT much of a trouble.

[@xiinite9]

Seeing how exploitable fecundity was, the nerf is very valid i feel.

[@scarletterose1303]

This is the truth, of all of the value sigils this one by far was the most insane, it is the only sigil that allowed you to generate extra real cards without cost and without the card to die. Obviously people are going to complain about the absolute most broken sigil being nerfed but honestly after playing with it there are still plenty of other ways to break the game.

[@rafasilva1265]

The nerf might be valid but the sigil didn't make the game any less fun. The problem lies into the fact that kaycees mod is supposed to be difficult, not fun. I just hope the devs release the new cards to base inscryption soon because they are all awesome (except the cuckoo fuck the cuckoo it's just a boring card that does something everyone wanted to see in the game but it just disrupts the whole gameplay)

[@trickster721]

​@@rafasilva1265 Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I've been saying, which is that as soon as Fecundity is nerfed to appease people who think games aren't supposed to be fun, they'll just start complaining about the next sigil they want deleted.

@@trickster721 my reasoning is really that people derive fun from different things, and unfortunately some people find difficulty, something that makes games more niche, the main source of fun in games. really, kaycee's mod is trying to be hard, so it's okay. but they need to add kaycee-exclusive content to non-kaycee inscryption. the new cards, the new events and the new items could all be enjoyed by people who don't want to torture themselves with changes they didn't want or even ask for.

They could add a new sigil for fecundity were in the image there's only 1 rat instead of two. With this you could get at least 1 extra trigger for fecundity to make it more useful. It would still be nerfed but it would make Field mice not completely useless if you don't sacrifice it.

[@dizzyluc5798]

While I get the need for Fecundity to need a nerf (as a free/1 cost card having it is *extremely* OP) that doesn't match the literal definition of it Fecundity: the ability to produce an abundance of offspring or new growth; fertility. "multiply mated females show increased fecundity" Me: I didn't know "an abundance" means *one* So at the very least, unless field mice gets a buff (1 cost 1/1 would probably be best as 2 cost 2/2... you can do A LOT better) and make it so the sigil works differently with it, like how Child 13 or the Cat works differently with Many Lives... Yeah the Sigil while ok with maybe something like a 2-3 cost card with Corpse Eater, or a 1 cost card like Mantis God that has been extremely buffed... it's not a sigil that will be sought out anymore. (at least make it so Field Mice becomes sought out and used and heck, they could make it a rare card so it's harder to get than it already is too)

Not a fan of this patch in general pretty much. 1) Fecundity I didn't really think fecundity needed a nerf, since it was so fun to use and if you didn't like it, you didn't have to take it. It's just gonna make a lot less builds viable for high challenge runs. The totem still works the same from what I heard, but I don't think I've ever found that one. :D Undying + Fecundity should still work on 1-cost-cards I guess ???, but I haven't tried that yet. 2) new/changed decks: I was hoping for more interesting decks to use once in a while, but these are not that for me. The changed bone deck would be interesting, if they kept alpha, but the coyote without changes to the way you draw your first hand is just full trash. The new bird deck is just pretty trash in general, although it does give you some options to mix a ton of sigils on the kingfishers. I'm ok with the egg-deck. It's a gimmick-deck that's gonna be an interesting challenge once or twice, but I will probably only play it once or twice and then be done with it. 3) Long Elk-change: Since you can't sacrifice the card it creates, it's more a nerf than a buff to the card in my oppinion, but I was never a fan of the card, so it's whatever. 4) Pelt Lice change: This is a great change at least. The card is still pretty trash, but at least it should be somewhat usable now. Bifurcated and Trifurcated stacking is insane of course. :D

[@hanliu3707]

I played those new decks today, had some fun with kingfisher deck, basically I just put a things like double strike on them, and as soon as I see mushroom on map, I combine them into a turn one kill bird

[@yourchoicelp9599]

@@hanliu3707 Yea that's what I meant. Having 2 of the same card in the starter deck can definitely open up some things. Still not a huge fan of the deck, though. Both the mantis god deck and the blood deck are better at the only thing this deck is good at, though, imho.

[@yourchoicelp9599]

I tried it and Undying + Fecundity does work on a 1-cost. So play unit, sac it with the non-fecundity version, replay esentially gives you the original fecundity with extra steps. Gonna be a lot more annoying, but it's still possible. Undying will usually be better on 1-cost units and fecundity will be close to useless on 0-cost. You might wanna put fecundity on a high-damage card if you have like an undying goat or something to be able to replay it every turn, but either way it's gonna be a lot less fun to play. :/

[@felixsean7674]

I'm livid that they nerfed fecundity. It seems that fecundity has to be comboed with immortality to work like the sigil that it was before. If you put immortal sigil on field mice, the original card-not the copy-will return to your hand, while retaining the sigil.

[@Chuck.1715]

i feel like the proper nerf for fecundity should be that each copy has -1 attack and -2 health and it would go down to 0/1

[@EinsamPibroch278]

My Fecundity Ant Colony got nerfed the same day I tried it. Luckily Unkillable Warren gives me all the Blood and Bones I'll need.

Just had a run where the only thing I was missing for the eggs was a 5 damage card, and then the very last campfire I could use on my grizzly to make it go from 4 > 5 damage was a healthfire : (

funny thing though. The totem with fecundity is still in full effect with the nerf. Oh and it has special dialogue exchanged. How unfortunate it didn't' show the art for you. It worked perfectly fine when I tried it earlier. Fun idea but not practical at all.

[@Darkenedspirit0]

Fecundity still can be played infinitely via fecundity totem. Dunno if its a bug, but at least we got that still.

[@cole7463]

I think I can explain this: For example, the original card belongs to the tribe inscribed on the totem, so the game gives it fecundity. When the card is copied, the game realizes that the copy also belongs to the same tribe, thus giving it fecundity. Its copy also belongs to that tribe, so it also gets fecundity. This repeats again and again, ending up making the good old, overpowered fecundity.

[@Darkenedspirit0]

@@cole7463 Ah I see, this makes sense! Thanks for the explaination

[@hockeater]

Totems add sigils to all things of a given type. This includes created cards. Doesn't matter if the copy of fecundity is lost because the totem is still the totem.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

The issue is when the copy is added to your hand, it doesn’t SHOW the fecundity sigil, but acts like it has it. So obviously something here is bugged. The question is: which way will they fix it? By nerfing fecundity totems, keeping them strong?

[@hockeater]

@@zaxtonhong3958 Keep strong dammit. All versions of good totems are better than just having the sigil on a card.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

Here’s my take on fecundity: There are a bunch of broken combinations in the game Cat + mealworm + fires Porcupine + poison + fires Corpse maggots + undying + burrower + fly blocker These all require a lot of set-up, and most of them aren’t even a guaranteed win if you draw them. Old Field mice + (almost) any 1-blood cost, 0 cost, or 2-bone cost, warren ability, or corpse eater ability broke the game, and it only takes 1 event to do instead of 3+ events. It was far too easy and too versatile to get a run-breaker using fecundity. Now, fecundity has been pushed back in line with the other combos: it can still be broken (undying + fecundity effectively makes it work like before) but it requires (justifiably) more set up. Heck, the totem even works like it used to (for now. We’ll see if that gets changed) If you derive pleasure from making a fecundity combo, you still can: you just can’t do it every 2nd or 3rd game. (If you run the numbers, you’re actually very statistically likely to encounter at least 1 field mice card in 2 runs). Pre-nerf, every 1 in like 10 posts on the subreddit was a picture of fecundity breaking everything. No other combo comes remotely close to that overrepresentation.

[@Vandreand]

People were asking for a fecundity mice nerf on the official discord. I don't like the nerf either (now it is not usable)

[@marioruiz5758]

Note that fecundity still works as it used to if you have a totem

[@Merik2013]

True, since the totem will always apply the sigil.

[@Predaplanter]

That feels really unfair to the mice Edit: like imagine getting your sigil nerfed and then almost all of your friend get your original sigils power for basically free

[@auburncrow4568]

Fecundity they nerfed WAY too hard. They really didn't need to nerf it in this manner at all to balance out the game, while the sigil itself could appear on cards other then the Field Mice on Wolf-Pelt purchases I feel like those were deserved, you bought pelts and suffered through taking them to a trader to get that Fecundity Mole/Warren what have you, but at least in the case obtaining it like so you are going to have to be sure you REALLY like what it's on because you can't transfer it off. The best way they should have done this should have been to shift the Field Mice to being a Rare which is what I think they always should have been. In that scenario getting Fecundity is less likely and in the circumstances that you DO manage to pick up a copy of it from your rare-pool choice, be that leshys boss battle's (3/12 or 1/4 chance) or via having to actually knock out a lot of teeth to afford a Gold Pelt for the better chances at a trader. (4/12 or 1/3 chance) at least in this circumstance it require's a greater deal of investment from you into making taking the steps to acquire that power, unlike how it is now with it being a common and Leshy just randomly having the chance of handing you the literal Exodia of inscryption on any given card selections.

[@The_Andromeda_Galaxy]

I think they should've made fecundity similar to one of the mods with the spreading starvation card, where the card makes a duplicate of itself on the board at the end of each turn. That prevent an infinite amount of cards being made while also not basically just removing fecundity from the game like this nerf did. Instead of a copy in your hand which is just an endless supply, a copy on the board is capable of being lost, ends up still being a good sigil while not being nearly as broken.

[@MellowL]

Sacrificing Dire wolf on Hydra sounds so powerful, it's insane.

[@Sifd]

That's what it feels like :(

[@flatfingertuning727]

Of course, the real problem was the "Even if less than 10% of your cards are one-blood-cost units, you're guaranteed to draw one" mechanic, which so far as I can tell hasn't been adjusted. If the game were to populate one slot in the starting hand by picking one of the N/5 cheapest blood units that don't have fecundity or Magpie's Eye (if any exist), and one with one of the N/5 cheapest such bone-cost units (if any exist), and the remaining slot(s) with random cards, such a change would be subtle, and many people might not notice it, but it would re-balance Fecundity without having to change the underlying mechanics.

That word you had trouble with, rejiggering, is re-jig-er-ing. If you 'rejig' something, you're re-doing it. It's kind of a word to say "This was put together kind of quickly and it's still pretty slapped together, but we rejigged (fixed/rewired/rerouted/redid) it and hopefully it's better now with the tweaks." It comes from construction/manufacturing. A jig is a custom made tool to hold materials in a certain position to get the same result every time. So if you Re-Jig something, you adjust how it's being held to get a better/more consistent result.

tbf... fecundity with an immortal sigil still hella broken. but with an extra step

[@APandaSol]

Drop Fecundity's use rate to almost 0% so they get the nerf is too much

[@Sifd]

Good plan! I'm gonna even "It's trash" it so they get the memo! :D

[@Chick3nluvver]

Been waiting for this since yesterday evening when I saw the patch! Schoolwork can wait when Sifd uploads

[@Residue_whynot]

Wish there was an evolving deck, consisting of 2 evolving cards such as wolf cub, raven egg, or elk fawn, and 1 random card

[@acuddle]

The new card is as bad as Pelt Lice 'till the endgame when it doesn't matter anymore. Starting as worse squirrels, they ask you to bloat your deck with at least five cards of varying tribes and power before they become broken 1x5/5 eggs. They do what the other cards do (ramping up into brokenness) but fairly worse (there's no in-between the 0/1 and 5/5, and you can't upgrade them further), and as you grow them your deck needs to lose its themes, coherence and quite a lot of power, running to all occasions to get more cards instead of upgrading and combining them. At least it allows for certain cards who'd usually never get play to be played, but it feels forced. At the end, the Hydra is a curio, and makes for a unique but forced failed meme run around it. The three egg deck, however, is definitely a challenge in early game and Sifd lucked nicely on the two starting creatures.

[@combak2712]

I think a key element of this deck is to sacrifice the new eggs’ sigil onto your other cards. Once you activate it, whatever the other card was becomes an instant win, so who cares what it was? Also, I’d love to see you make a Beaver of Doom now. Since it gives its sigils to the dams now, Leader is really good on it, and if you add some sort of multistrike on top… oh boy is it strong!

[@107zxz3]

The hydra bug is evidence the kaycee cards aren't tested before release

[@alovelydeadfish]

is kaycees mod not in beta?

[@Diznuy]

Just found out today Fecundity still works the way it did before with the Totems. So you still can get an OP winning deck, but not the old way with field mice. Had a run with buffed geck that had the mealworm sigil, with the lizard-fecundity totem. Crazy

[@josevst7274]

Excuse freakin' scuse me but was that a pelt lice buff? I'm pretty sure that in the starting menu pelt lice were shown with double strike!

[@Psychomaniac14]

that was last update

[@josevst7274]

@@Psychomaniac14 Ah, thanks

[@yourchoicelp9599]

The pelt lice buff this patch is that going to the trader doesn't get rid of the pelts, so that you can more easily play them. The double-strike buff was indeed last patch.

[@Lelpo_GD]

The looks of the card are amazing!

[@GrouchyAsh]

seems they nerfed fecundity cause "it's overpowered" (it is but in a single player game with odds against you op is good? and if you want a challenge then don't take the card?) or so says the official discord as it kept coming up in the suggest list and getting positive votes

[@booleah6357]

I'm not entirely sure what the point of buffing the double strike mantis combo while nerfing fecundity. Its not like this game has any sense of actual balance when you get almost any sort of working combo.

[@meduzazmozgiemkrowy]

Good news: fecundinity still works on totem.

[@DeuceRumbo]

The waterborne deck feels like Kaycee is trolling us, what a slap in the face ahahahaha

[@DarkExcalibur42]

Gotta agree, the new field mice ability sucks. If they wanted to cap it, they should make it so the copy has -1 Health.

[@AGO339]

theres still hope for the fecundity totem, since the copy card will still be effected by the totem

[@Unknown_Threat]

I think the eggs could be like: It will aways hatch, but its stats are acording to your deck, like if your deck has mostly 2 damage it will have 2 damage, if it has mostly 5 health it would have 5 health, and its cost is also dependent on your deck's main cost, the tribe would be the one you have the most and the sigils are picked from 2 of your cards, and maybe it has like a 30% chance of having +1 dmg/life or -1 dmg/life like goobert

[@pocarski]

that's just goobert with extra steps

[@Cullenatorable]

Trash underwater deck with every challenge level on. I doubt the best players could do that without some fear in their heart!

[@Emeraldraven777]

This fecundity nerf is the biggest buff to the immortal skink I've ever seen. Why even use fecundity?

[@JoaoPedro-ie1yc]

Brasil

[@Sun_Tzu1]

this game is designed for babies. its amazing indeed but way too easy even with KC mode. and you disagree with nerfs... ti les re file...

[@Shade_fox]

Noooo my infinite mantis gods... Well I'm not beating the bear challenge, anymore :/

[@aan6374]

Hydra + dire wolf sigil please, thank you

[@aq_ua]

fecundity was a free win on low cost cards, you just didn't have the experience with it some people did apparently

[@kidcraft3558]

If I think about it Fecundity would be op in this new nerf on totems because fecundity should go on the clone so it is the old Fecundity.

[@vulshie2605]

Correct me if I'm wrong but we nerfing non competitive single player game why again?

[@jagpreetsingh6711]

47:35 A gaaaame theory!

[@jorritdriessen5728]

Did you know fecundity is bugged, with totem it still works just the same as the old one

[@askzyoutube]

googled fecundity's meaning and the nerf kinda makes sense? but i still dont like the nerf

[@isleofredemption]

Yeah, the reward for the Curious Egg is nowhere near worth the effort it takes to get it. Not even close.

[@minecraftoverlordpe2842]

I was very disappointed the fused egg didn't become a 2/10 thing of absolute death. Would love to see a direwolf sacrifice onto a hydra though, for maximum overkill.

[@impossiblehanley2732]

I thought it would be cool if the amalgam had mighty leap, bifurcated, airborne, sprinter and other sigil because it's an amalgamation of all the tribes. And I expected a concept of an hydra to be similar.

[@level0maid]

Did they buff long elk so my past """tip""" was made true?!?

[@nevinmyers1245]

I'm guessing the long elk buff makes it function like squirrel ball

[@arifhossain9751]

Totem Fecundity: YOU CAN'T STOP ME

[@samuelcolt7034]

To be honest, when I saw how many blue dots the egg had at first, I thought it was some insanity of "Here's a blank slate you can give over ten sigils to, have fun".

[@angelcaru]

That should be what it does!

[@kliveran]

Well at least is still possible to make fecundity infinite again whit unkillable

[@tomasmiranda9899]

No entendi una chota, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@beatriztrigo4731]

Maybe fecundity should have as many spawns as the unit has health.

[@coprophagichobo2377]

Yeah i gave fecundity to daus, kaycee took it away since it would be broken.

[@thechosenone4422]

They nerfed the most broken and imbalanced sigil. Now it's kinda trash, but on the other side, it was broken and OP as heck, destroying entirely the difficulty. On the one side, it's now semi-balanced, but on the other side it was really fun to abuse this sigil
