One of the more frustrating elements that makes the players want to grind their teeth is the occasional ridiculous cascade, making the game more prone to luck-based than tactical-based.
Anyone played Tetrix before? It has a feature where it informs the player of the next incoming block.
Could we have similar feature in this game?
An indication bar that shows perhaps the next 3 gems, dropping from left-to-right order.
You could even incorporate this into Game Difficulty. IE: Regular mode = 3 gems preview, Hard mode = 2 gems… etc.
I believe this would certainly add Tactical element into this game.
IE: Some players might not enjoy this type of additional distraction, so maybe the feature can be a toggle-able option.

I was just thinking this the other day. Or like Dr. Mario. Lol
But how would you account for troops that can clear a board?

It’s random. Rng.
So this is impossible.

Here was my take on it. I still think this would be a really neat beneficial status effect.

> Piggybacking off of a great idea in one of today’s threads by @Santandrix, I think it’d be fun to have a conditional status effect that allows the player to be able to see the next row of gems not yet in play. This can allow for the player to make combos s/he might not otherwise be able to make without that foreknowledge. Clairvoyance A troop that has Clairvoyance allows its player to see the next row of Gems yet to fall into the board. Clairvoyance has a 10% chance to wear off each turn. H…
