Events
Events are special encounters that will grant the player expanded gameplay options throughout a run.
Merchant
The Merchant event allows players to purchase extra cards with gold. Every purchased card is added directly to the player's hand, which allows for big turns following a merchant.
In the Merchant event, the player can purchase cards or reroll the shop. Rerolling the shop costs 10 gold, and increases by 10 each use. Purchasing a card costs 30 gold, and increases by 15 for each card purchased.
The Merchant's first appearance is always in year 12, and repeats every (insert here) years.
Royal Council
The Royal Council is a special event that allows the player to pick Decrees. Decrees are effects that change the strategy of a run, often determining it's success.
In a standard Royal Council event, the player is able to pick one decree. However, with the perk Longtermism, the player can select 3 perks.
Royal Council's first appearance is always in year 4, and repeats every (insert here) years.
Prophet
The Prophet appears in year 6 and foresees a random blessing that will happen in 9 years. The blessing always appears at the beginning of year 16 after you pick your loot card and before you can do anything else.
Unlike most events, this event does not repeat in endless mode.
Diplomat
The Diplomat is a special event that allows the player to wage war or make peace with other Kings.
Changing the kings the player is fighting against alters the pool of cards available during the battles, making it a core mechanic to strategize while setting up a build.
Diplomats alternate between War Diplomats and Peace Diplomats.
Diplomat's first appearance is always in year 8, and repeats every (insert here) years.
The Tower
The Tower is a kingdom-expansion event that allows the player to unlock new plots. During a standard run, the player will be able to unlock two plots free of charge.
The Tower can be used to further increase the number of plots, as after year 33, it becomes permanently available, but each unlocked plot costs 30 gold.
Final Battle
The Final Battle is a special event that concludes a 9 Kings standard run. The player will have to defeat an army of one of the 9 Kings, led by a special boss unit. The player can play all cards in hand during a Final Battle year.
In the case that the player loses the fight, all lives will be removed, instead of the typical 1 per battle.
The Final Battle always happens in year 33, and repeats every 33 years.
