What were you saying about shields, Alex? Revan, you could have simply added a line saying "bonuses are inactive if the character has active barriers."

Well, I gave them a huge speed boost. I somehow forgot about it initially, because it was also part of the concept and 'balance'.

I dealt them a lot of damage.

And then you'll encounter them as opponents...

They are always more unpleasant as opponents. It’s like any mortal unit in games.

Well, now you can create units on boss battles instead of losing your main units.

Sometimes, the idea arose to force myself and add that overseas empire to the list of countries on the first page, but there should be content for at least ten countries.

Don't worry, you can add and elaborate on everything in the middle of the game, it's fine.

Heh, that's funny... Well, in general, the speed might be okay... Although, without the double Nozenroth move, it's unlikely to work. )
However, you can build a ranged attacker. You'll lose the increased damage, but you'll gain a lot of speed, accuracy, and evasion, so it's playable.

(need to clarify that accuracy only applies to melee combat)

Not an archer, but a perverted samurai. Or play through a phantasmagoria and use barriers.

I don't like the new edition of these cards, but since I promised and planned such a gameplay element, I won't cancel it (especially now that I've already finished).
The rules are as follows: you can draw up to two cards; the character must be connected in some way to one of these countries (most likely determines the race you will have to play, but not always and only if it is not a character from a previous game), and they visited the second one. In this case, death imposes a ban on participating in this mini-game and cuts half of the characteristics and skill points for the future character; they will have to find other ways to deal with life's difficulties.
The drawn religions and races can be transferred to other players, but in that case, you must link your characters in their biographies in some way. Some effects may have bonuses or penalties not listed, which relates more to the character's background.
And one last thing: percentages are calculated separately from each other; thus, it is possible to get several effects from one card, or zero.
