ART: elements the game (vrt) IDEA: moomoose NOTES: apoptosis is a mechanism that organisms utilize to have cells kill themselves before they can negatively affect the rest of the organism.  the mechanic is a tiny bit of a stretch from its use in cells, but the overarching theme is to not let death negatively affect your well-being.  before death effects can be triggered (bad), apoptosis controls the death as to not have it progress through the normal cascade of events which would normally follow. the purify skill adds 1 or 2 purity counters to you, respectively.

I dunno, it seems like a ridiculous counter designed to win against a single element...

I don't really see the need for it.

thats why the purify thing was also added, gives a purify on a stick for a few turns to get some extra healing in.

edit- maybe isntead of anti-death effects for the duration, it could sacrifice creatures without producing death effects.  this could counter effects such as antimatter, aflatoxin, devour (in some situations) and preventing the opponent from killing your creatures for death effects.

looks like apoptosis got a buff from the purify buff, heh

This is the new Purify right? The one that targets and gives +2?
