THE RECORD
The record lives here.
When the match, the table, or the road to Steam changes, it is written here.
-
The gallery is full screen
The site gallery is now a full-screen capture. The first picture is the account home, and a match shows the seat rims and the hero rims.
-
Every page carries a Guidance plate
The lobby, the Military Office, and a match each gain a Guidance plate in the corner. Opening it lights the buttons and regions of the current page one at a time, with a note on what each one does. Right moves on, left goes back, and the plate closes the walk.
-
The home's painting softens behind the plates
On the account home, the painting behind the plates settles into a thin mist, and the plates stay clear. The mist no longer ends in a line. It fades out into the landscape around them.
-
The home's plates settle into the painting
The plates on the account home no longer sit flat on the picture. A faint ink shadow lies under each one, and the paper keeps its own colour. The plate brightens a little when the pointer rests on it.
-
The home's writing sits on a rank mount
On the account home, the name, rank seal, renown, ledger, and hero name each sit on a painted mount. The material follows the rank, from ink to bronze, vermilion, and gold, and the shape stays. A Transcendent hero wears a gilt trim there. The ink in the lower corners does not block a click.
-
The Roster scrolls, and heroes wear painted mastery frames
In Headquarters, the Roster now scrolls as one page. The tabs stay where they are. Heroes on the roster, and the mastery ladder beside them, wear the same ink mastery frames as a seat. An Untrained hero keeps a plain portrait.

Before: Locked: after you take skill damage from another character, 75% chance to discard 1 random hand card from the source. -
The lobby opens on your home
An account that has finished a public match comes back to its own home: renown, the roster, and the general it plays most, in that general's mastery frame. A new account still starts from the lessons. On a seat, the renown frame sits on the ink wash, and the mastery frame sits on the portrait. A general with no mastery keeps the plain frame.

The retuned skills, as they read now
