Marvel LCG Digital Community Release v1.0.0

Release 1.0 patch set

Application version: 1.0.0.0r

Baseline: Irefrixs Team upstream master at a77154a

These notes compare the final community release with the original upstream release. Development-only corrections to campaigns and content packs introduced by this release are represented by their final features, not listed as separate fixes. Superseded and reverted implementations are omitted.

Highlights

• Added complete digital campaign flows for Mutant Genesis, NeXt Evolution, Age of Apocalypse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Galaxy's Most Wanted, and The Mad Titan's Shadow.
• Added the Wonder Man and Hercules hero expansions, including starter decks, hero cards, obligations, and nemesis content.
• Added the Synthezoid Smackdown cooperative content, including She-Hulk and Vision scenarios and eight modular encounter sets.
• Added an adjustable card-interaction speed setting that changes presentation timing without changing game-state resolution.
• Corrected fixed-total threat and damage selection, attached-identity restrictions, and several card scripts present in the original release.

Campaign support

• Added a campaign selector with stable internal campaign identifiers so campaign setup, logs, replay data, and saved state select the intended campaign reliably.
• Retained selection support for The Rise of Red Skull and Sinister Motives alongside the six newly implemented campaign flows.
• Added campaign-log card previews with a fixed, readable tooltip size and position.
• Added campaign-specific setup screens, scenario progression, persistent rewards and penalties, campaign pools, and scenario-dependent setup instructions.
• Added persistent remaining-hit-point setup fields for each selected player. Recorded values can be used in standard or expert campaigns; Age of Apocalypse retains its matching option to place 3 threat on the mission and heal to full whenever this feature is used.
• Added Mutant Genesis role and reward content for Brawler, Commander, Defender, and Peacekeeper, plus campaign player side schemes and the complete Magneto campaign-card behavior, including flipped permanents and attachments.
• Added the NeXt Evolution campaign player side schemes and their scenario-specific setup and persistence rules.
• Added Age of Apocalypse campaign missions, mission allies, overseers, resource matching, mission attempts, campaign setup choices, and campaign upgrades.
• Added Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. campaign progression, evidence, Board Member attachment and loss conditions, Executive Board state, and scenario setup choices.
• Added Galaxy's Most Wanted credits, market purchases and discards, ship upgrades, market-card abilities, and scenario progression.
• Added The Mad Titan's Shadow campaign cards, flipped-permanent placement, scenario progression, and campaign state used across its five scenarios.

Added content packs

Synthezoid Smackdown

• Added standard and expert scenario definitions for She-Hulk and Vision.
• Added the Deadly Duo, Moon Knight, Royal Guard, Scarlet Twins, S.H.I.E.L.D. Ops, Taskmaster, Thunderbolts, and Young Avengers modular encounter sets.
• Added encounter scripting for the She-Hulk and Vision scenario sets, including form interactions, attachments, boost effects, defeated-side-scheme effects, and encounter-card targeting.
• Added the set image and all required database and encounter-set registrations.

Wonder Man

• Added Wonder Man's identity, hero kit, obligation, and nemesis set.
• Added the Wonder Man starter deck and supporting player cards included with the pack.
• Added mechanics for ionic counters, discard-based costs, identity-specific targeting, and Wonder Man's campaign/player-card interactions.
• Added the set image and card-database registration.

Hercules

• Added Hercules's identity, hero kit, obligation-related content, and supporting player cards.
• Added the Hercules starter deck.
• Added mechanics for glory counters, side-scheme interaction, printed threat restoration, and Hercules-specific costs and responses.
• Added the set image and card-database registration.

Existing-release gameplay and card corrections

• Corrected Creative Solution so a purchased market card is discarded rather than removed from the game.
• Corrected Close Call to use Hero Interrupt timing.
• Prevented Badoon Headhunter from prompting for a random discard when the affected player's hand is empty.
• Corrected Sinister Motives S.H.I.E.L.D. Tech ownership and stat application, basic-thwart restrictions, the correct side of Shock Knuckles receiving its ATK bonus, and empty-hand handling for Back Alley Burglary.
• Corrected Improved Recovery Upgrade from The Rise of Red Skull so using its recovery bonus exhausts the upgrade.

Card data corrections

• Added the printed one-per-enemy limit to Concussive Blow.
• Corrected punctuation in Defy Danger.
• Added the printed unit cost of 5 to Onrush.
• Corrected North American Sea Wall to Victory 2.
• Added Incite 1 to both resource sides of A.I.M. Interference.
• Corrected the spelling of Aggression in Authority.
• Regenerated the card-database checksum after the final data changes.

Threat and damage distribution

• Added an exact-up-to-available target range for effects that distribute a fixed total. Players must now allocate the full legal amount while still being allowed to resolve an effect when fewer valid threat or health points exist.
• Corrected distributed selection for the original-release cards Gunboat Diplomacy, Mutant Peacekeepers, Torrential Rain, Inconspicuous, and Giant Help.
• Corrected Mutant Peacekeepers so its final threat value is calculated after choosing and exhausting participating X-Men allies.
• Shadowcat can now select a side scheme with zero threat when placing threat through her response.

Attack and condition interactions

• Corrected attached-identity defense restrictions so they bind to the attached player instead of being interpreted as a card finder. This prevents attack windows from suppressing or breaking otherwise legal identity abilities, including Nightcrawler interactions.

Interface, hotseat, and loading improvements

• Improved MarvelCDB deck imports by selecting heroes from the returned hero name and preserving non-hero cards in campaign decks that intentionally violate normal deckbuilding validation.
• Updated Enter and Escape hotkeys to respect the active prompt, disabled buttons, card-selection steps, and cancellation state.
• Prevented duplicate submissions while a choice or cost request is already being posted.
• Improved hotseat prompt ownership so the interface focuses the player bound to the returned choice instead of relying on stale waiting-player state.
• Corrected right-click and hover behavior when hotseat rendering replaces a card without generating a new mouse-enter event.
• Corrected transformed-board pointer hit testing so visible cards receive clicks even when an empty 3D camera plane overlaps them.
• Added reliable no-cache headers, a complete browser cache-clear response, and version parameters for static and dynamic JavaScript imports.
• Added MarvelCDB as a fallback card-image server, stopped empty placeholder responses from being cached as downloaded art, and improved generated missing-image placeholders.
• Increased the application build number to 0.5.9.202.

Card interaction speed setting

• Replaced the old raw animation-time control with a labeled Card speed slider ranging from 0.25× to 2×.
• Stored the selected speed locally so it persists between sessions.
• Applied the setting only to client presentation delays and animation durations; it does not change game rules, effect ordering, targeting, or server-side resolution.
• Kept the control inside the normal right-side hover drawer.
• Added a Settings edge label while the drawer is closed and hide that label while the drawer is visible.

Validation coverage

• Added regression tests for fixed-value distributed targeting, repeat-target maximum calculation, and low-availability target pools.
• Added regression coverage for Shadowcat selecting a zero-threat side scheme.
• Added regression tests for shared resource-cost reduction and Uncanny X-Men controller scoping.

Distribution changes

• Added a reproducible Windows release script and PyInstaller specification with dynamic card-module discovery.
• Added a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the Windows archive on demand or for v* tags.
• Added an explicit packaging allowlist, SHA-256 generation, release manifest, attribution, and release checklist.
• Included required sounds and interface textures in the repository while continuing to exclude downloaded card scans, optional offline images, saves, statistics, crash logs, virtual environments, and generated build output.
