Card Ideas and Art / Burrow Shield (for competition shield)

« on: February 01, 2010, 09:41:00 am »

 

The fate of creatures that inflicted damage
- creature witout ability became burrow with unburrow ability (your opponent must spend one earth to unburrow)
- creature with immortality become burrow with the unburrow ability (your opponent must spend one earth to unburrow)
- creature with another ability (or pillar ability like ''fire fly'') other than burrow ability, become burrow but retains its first ability (your opponent can not spend one earth to unburrow like a mutated creature)
- creature already burrow remains burrow

This shield has a positive action. It greatly reduces damage from burrow creature. it is very useful against deck with many small creatures.
But it has a negative aspect in making enemy creatures burrow therefore not targetable. It will be a good thing to your opponnent.

- 42% of won (that's 10% better than my first 100 games)
- I'm still lucky earnings card because I'm almost at 43%.

Thank you for your answers.

I conclude my series of 100 games with ''improved steal" in my deck and I'll post my stats.
Although most of the players like to play with this card, I'll probably replace it with Quantum Tower.

Paint.net also doesn't seem to support textboxes that stick around.

May be you doesn't see, but i made a gimp file (.xcf). See my post under, i put a download file.


EDIT

From your file "elements_card_templates_v2.2.1.psd'', I created a Gimp file ''.xcf "
File dowload --> http://flodes.free.fr/elements/elements_card_templates_v2.2.1.xcf (http://flodes.free.fr/elements/elements_card_templates_v2.2.1.xcf)

I created 7 text layers and deleted the 6 layer images corresponding.
Only 6 because I divided the layer ''Card Description'' in 2. One for card description and one for ability name.

Name of 7 texts layers:
- Card Name in Withe
- Card Name in Black
- Card Cost
- Card type creature
- Ability Name
- Card Description
- Art by: Artist Name

It would be nice if you could check my changes

Also for pillars, to slow down the opponent.

To slow down a FG 
I don't understant how one pillar stolen can slow down a FG?

False Gods / ''Improved steal'' in 40 card deck rainbow against FG

« on: January 29, 2010, 10:31:14 am »

I would like to talk about ''Improved steal'' card. We found it in 40 cards deck like Ivalmian's deck.
- When I'm in a position of weakness, it does not change the situation
- When I'm in a position of strength, I do not need it.

After almost 200 games against the false gods, i seems it has never been helpful.

What do you think?

With GIMP 2.6.8 the problem is identical. The text layers are interpreted as images layers.

ghy. Have you, when you installed GIMP, selected the instalation with the ability of opening adobe Photoshop datas(.pds)?

I may not understand your question.
Gimp does not open in native PSD files. You must tell to your operating system to open ''psd'' files with gimp.
Or in Gimp,  when you open the menu ''file/openning'' in the windows ''opening file'' select the otpion ''all files'' in drop-down menu.

I have a question. How can I change the name, the decription and the number of the cost?

You need to make a new layer text

Question to Scaredgirl
What is the font name for text, and the number?
and what is the sign (vertical bar) beetween each number?

Did you try ivalmian's?

Yes, but without SoG, because i haven't one

When i see 41% or 60% of win, i'm perplexed  and i fell the most unlunky.
In my 100 games, 3 times i took ''Eternity" at the end. So i have 3 wins under just because a bad luck.
I didn't make stats each time i have no quantum in my first hand or just one; and each time I had to wait 5 turns for 2 entropy to play ''Supernova''.

But i was extremely lucky for card. 12 cards on 32 wins. (40%)

For a long time I installed the 2.6 version and I do not remember me such a question.
I check the site http://www.gimp.org/ (http://www.gimp.org/) and there is a new version 2.7. On the news page http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS (http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS) I read this:

Map the 'Linear Dodge' layer mode in PSD files to the 'Addition' layer mode in GIMP.

I'll update my version, re-test and i'll keep you informed.

EDIT: Version in line is 2.6.8. I'll check with this.

I use a rainbow deck of 40 cards posted in this topic http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1847.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1847.0.html)

But I am far from obtaining the result of 45% announced in the statistics of the author. I may be unlucky or the author is very lucky but in 100 games, I only won 32 times (and got 12 cards).
I do sets of 20 games and my statistics oscillates between 20% and 45% of wins.

Apart from this deck, I have no other idea for a better result
Maybe with new cars, a new idea will come

Nice but too powerfull for a mono-deck.

Like ''Fire Queen" (Air element but ability in Life element) this new abality should be a death element instead of Darkness
And the monster ''Ghoul'' should also be in Death element.

Very nice art. I love it
