A bit of clafication, zanz.

• Lvl 0 areas = starting areas for each elements (darkness palace, light palace, etc.) or the just the oracle? I'm asking because when I'm in darkness palace, the area level is 4.
• I can see that in some areas, there are 2 copies of an NPC in one area. For example, there's 2 Pest and Bats in the darkness palace. Is this intended?

Thanks.

Yes.


So the starting areas feature the weakest decks, I presume? I would be willing to submit some decks (here or in the bestiary). I guess HP and maybe deck size wise they should be similar to Erwin, the only deck I so far know to be created by you?

Butterfly for ? It could have dragonflies and butterfly effects

[suxerz]

Hmm.. I also found out that it is also possible to have more than 2 copies when you 'refresh' an area. Doesn't it seems a bit strange? Well, not strange, I know my vocab is terrible... but what I'm saying is I always thought it's going to be something like 1 area = fixed number of NPCs. So, I would feel it would be somewhat uniform throughout the entire map. Maybe I'm missing something here. 


For  - Firebug. The image shown is firefly, but I'm pretty sure there's not a single firefly in that deck.

As you wander the dunes, you see a long past battlefield. Trying to find some loot, you search the corpes when suddenly the start moving again!

Spiders can be found anywhere. Even in the aether realm where dream meets reality.

There is indeed. As Zanz stated before, NPC's will spawn, and despawn when beaten. (Btw, I kind of hope that will also make some NPC's 'rare', for example an NPC that has a certain shard, because people will search that one more often than others. Would give it a great RPG feeling.)

Building a time deck at the moment, by the way.

P.S.: I absolutely love majofa's deck below. Perfect AI deck. Well, except for the Discord, which I really wouldn't want to see with a level 0 opponent. :p

@Blacksmith: The first deck is way too strong for an AI0. Taking Zanz's "Erwin" as a guideline, I highly doubt he wants a 12+ attack Pegasus there... the second is fitting, but too similar to the deck I posted 20 minutes before, is it not? ^^

Why not keep it simple? like standard decks for each element, like scrab decks with no pharao and pegasus+fierfly rush?

Hp around 30

Update: If I'm correct about Blacksmith's Air deck being significantly too strong for a level 0 deck and all other decks are accepted, we only lack 1 Air deck and 1 Water deck now.

You try to have a nights rest, but those annoying mosquitos keep you awake! Once they smell blood, there will come more and more!
