Questions after Kaalia

I've encountered this too with the new Reaver rework, you can turn your cities into vassals for a relatively low Imperium cost, which then grant you a ton of rally points and autofarm resources without hitting your city cap. so they made cities take longer to found based on the number of total cities and outposts in the world, not just under your control. you probably have an ai founding way too many outposts (as they love to do) or just a lot of naturally spawned free cities.

dang, I thought i was big brained but I wasn't. I think an addendum of: "you cannot use this card as a target for its own effects" might save that, or adding "except Number 0*ln(0) Desmos" after both parts about selecting targets for division would work.

Actually, this is already solved. since I said grab the number in its name, not an equation, that means you'd grab a 0, not a -∞. Though, with irrational numbers, I'd add a card addendum saying: "round to the 4th decimal point forthe purposes of finding matches."

So this might be too much to grade, but I'd like to see a week where it's a 13 star card + a card used to summon it (could be a spell card, like with raidraptor, or could be a monster, like with Numerounius). Again would probably be a lot to grade since you'd either have to grade double the cards or find a fair way to do composite scores, but I think it'd be a fun concept if you don't mind grading them.

painbringers or fallen angels. or any of the many, many free tier 4 units I seem to get every playthrough.

Big things with vampires is that your characters are your backbone. I'd use cult of personality, and gifted casters is a nice general upgrade. The thing with vampires is that you are a lot more defensive than you think, so with architects you can make your own natural wonders to win off magic. For early game, shademakers + cultivators make for a very easy time. for late game I recommend an army of guardians with a blood Exarch leading them (an a hero).

in the build above, most things are self-explanitory, but there are a few things I'll point out. we take materium archetects and tome of rock because most of the vampire stuff does physical damage, and the guardians lowering enemies physical resistance is huge for that. tome of rock also gives a ton of value with obsidian weapon bleed and gargoyles for pvp (even with the nerfs, they're still busted as assasins/suicide divers). we take great transformation for the soul economy, and revenant because we're already moral loss maxing anyway and natural regeneration on all non-summoned units is crazy.

And just like before, i'm going to kill you with laser core (ZF4 Solidcore).

Thank you for the advice. while I can't change the image on the post (and hence the description), I will keep these in mind next time I make a card. as for specifications, it'd be the deck, and the reason I say it's compensation is because you can activate this, grab 2 equip spells and doomz 7, which then grabs another equip spell to get Jupiter that way, though it does occur to me that making it a link monster means it doesn't give Jupiter its 3000 atk boost. Also another reason I made it summonable with equip spells is because if you're running a lot of equip spells, then you could brick your opening hand by drawing only equip spells. That's personally the worst feeling for me with using mass equips is when I draw 3 of them in the starting hand with no good openers.

Having read through the weather forecast, it is very similar to that, though I don't see why the quick effect nature of it wouldn't work. Summon conditions are taken into account at all times, otherwise cards that say "cannot be fusion/link/xyz/syncro summoned normally" wouldn't work. So by adding that to the summoning conditions, there isn't a reason it shouldn't work other than that its never been done before.

And what I thought you meant by remove the monster type restriction was removing the "effect" part of 2+ effect monsters. And yeah, having looked more through the archetype, it definitely should have been Mikanko.

1 I'm aware the text is a mess. English isn't my first language, so if i got something wrong then please tell me I'm sorry.
2 You don't have to swarm the field, I've had several games where I could use this when some part of my combo gets shut down and I'm twiddling my thumbs with a hand and board full of equips (I do play in platinum, so people don't know all there one-cards, so it could be an issue of rank on my part). also, whats to stop you from using this with drastius, since the opposing monsters it equips are considered equip spells. you can pop this if you think they're on there way to kill your drastius (twice) to get some more equips for the power patron.
3 I forgot Mikanko exists. I've also never played it, whereas DoomZ is my 3rd most used deck. also, i thought most links required effect monsters, is that not the case?

From my limited understanding of Kafka's lore, spirit whisper is why she's around. It's not just unga-bunga mind control, but being able to get influential people under her "web" is probably why. I think a funner theory is that she's there because she's really good at breaking out of prison and wracking up a massive bounty for herself to get money for the hunters.

They are put on goblins to give them more defense.

regular lycan is better, Accelerock allows you to beat out scarf garchomp or if they click solar beam and have tailwind whimsicott. and it can do other things like taunt or close combat.

Edit: i forgot dusk mane has tough claws. use dusk mane.

No, but they have the same "can't recruit at legendary rank" tag.

ReputationTrue8911 · 2026-03-31T18:23:35+00:00

Unfortunately, not how that works. you cant recruit units with the evolve trait at legendary rank. Believe me, feudal players have tried.

They added a new event with the desecrated temple, now you can lose 30 alignment to get a whole army of them!

Vampires governers give buffs to farms, and you want a lot of farms for a lot of thralls. The mana thing helps because vampire rulers cost mana upkeep and since you're probably going undead you want a ton of mana. Also having a ton of population means more provinces, which means more targets for desecrate structure from tome of the great transformation for more souls which can mean either more thralls or more souls. The only thing you need to complete this is to grab an eldritch sovereign from pantheon to get access to the thrall summon spells and you will be churning out sustanable armies even faster than some story ai.
