Can you please an option to make it able for all players to get the same set of cards each time a relic is granted so pvp games with this mod aren't as rng and more strategic.

My sugestions:

- remove the 30 sec. timer from the start or let us pick the first relic on pre-game, that would give a better view of options, as at the current mark its common for scouting to arrive in tandem
- if possible, a small dictionary at the side of the screen with the definition of attributes, I saw a lot of people questioning what certain attribute does, and myself got surprised that speed didnt include turret speed (so my minos went turbo fast and waited 1 sec. for the turret to be in place)
- I know its early beta, but if possible, tint the relics in colors so we can differentiate faster

Relic-K — Roguelike mechanics for Zero-K

Relic-K adds permanent, stacking relics to a normal Zero-K match.

The first choice appears after **30 seconds**, followed by another choice every **3 minutes**. Each round offers three different random relics, and previously selected relics may appear again.Duplicate relics stack.


How choices work

- Select one of three offered relics.
- Relics remain active for the rest of the match.
- Relic picks do not time out.
- If another round arrives while one is pending, it waits in the queue.
- Rerolling costs **one reroll** and replaces all three offers.
- Skipping gives your team **three rerolls**, but no relic.
- AI teams immediately pick a random relic after extensive strategic consideration.

The default timing and reroll values can be changed through the lobby options.


Teams and commshare

Relics and rerolls belong to an **engine team**.

In a normal game, each player usually has their own relic collection. A commshared team shares one collection, and the current engine-team leader controls its choices, skips, and rerolls.


Interface

The movable launcher shows a countdown until the next scheduled offer. Click it to open the Relic-K window.

The window displays:

- current relic offers;
- available rerolls;
- accumulated relics and stack counts;
- combined effects and modifiers;
- selection history and relic details.


Commands

- `/relics` — open or close the Relic-K window
- `/relictoggle` — hide or show the launcher
- `/relicreset` — reset both UI positions
- `/relicresettoggle` — reset only the launcher
- `/relicresetwindow` — reset only the main window

How to play
Enter in the lobby chat: "!game relic" to activate the mod.

When buffs multiplies, it is more clearly to show "x1.5" instead of "+50%".

A bit weird way to combine effects is to add buffs and multiply nerfs:

(1 + sum buffs) * mul nerfs

(I just selected double glass cannon and all my units became 1 hp and killed by random aoe instantly)

DarkBlueDiamond, Good Idea, Added!
Galamesh, i dont understand, but you can change the stenght of the modifiers in the settings.
DiplomatadoCaos, i reduced the limit from 5 to 1 second in the settings, so first relic choice starts at second 1, if you want. I also added a guide, explaining the attributes. And, im not what you mean with tint the relics, so its easier to differate.
Steel_Blue, That right, there are a lot of settings to customize. And now its even possible to add, remove or edit relics via a b64 string in the settings!

XNTWASD, rerolls per X choices sound like a good idea, im gonna add it! I also nerf class cannon with -33% maximum shield. shield_merge can be set on or off per game in the lobby settings. i might toggle it on on default for this json. Also damage buff on felon increase shield drain now, thanks for the hint!
I did set the modifier to stack additive on default, as multiplicative buffs quickly did go out of hand. but additive stacking for reductions is stronger then multiplicative! that is something i diddnt intent, so i gonna change it back to multiplicative. in no version, buffs where additive and nerfs where multiplicative, that might just feel that way, as it is non-linear
( Reload speed: 0.80×
Reload duration: 1 / 0.80 = 1.25×)
With more stacks, the difference grows:

┌─────────────┬──────────┬────────────────┐
│ −10% stacks │ Additive │ Multiplicative │
├─────────────┼──────────┼────────────────┤
│ 1 │ 0.90× │ 0.90× │
├─────────────┼──────────┼────────────────┤
│ 2 │ 0.80× │ 0.81× │
├─────────────┼──────────┼────────────────┤
│ 5 │ 0.50× │ 0.59049× │
├─────────────┼──────────┼────────────────┤
│ 10 │ 0.00× │ 0.34868× │
├─────────────┼──────────┼────────────────┤
│ 20 │ −1.00× │ 0.12158× │
└─────────────┴──────────┴────────────────┘

So changing nerfs to multiplicative will make it actually better. i will change this.

GoogleFrog, pictures would definitly help, but maybe not if i draw them :D
Im still working on the balancing, but i have added a lot of settings, so player can tune the balancing themslef. Range seems very strong indeed. I add two new relics, that cost range, and each provide hp or speed.
“The long-range optics were more useful after being welded to the hull.”

And thanks for the first-thread-info! I edited it.

i renamed my mod but until you release a new version the lobbies are not selecting relick
!game relic selects my old relick + ult ai version im sorry for this i didn’t think it would do this

XNTWASD, Good catch!
