House Of Cards
by silver_fox_rival
Introduction:
This mod is for those of you that like to kill to your enemies with elegance and style. I know some times get tired of going through the game questing and not finding the things that you need to finish the quest, or just like to summon and kill. S o I made this mod just for that purpose.
Release Date:
Requires: Tribunal, Bloodmoon
Mod Description:
Card Usage
You will be allowed to carry 15 capture cards which will remain blank until you capture a creature, 30 cards that will have various creatures to with all kinds of abilities from healing, card restoration, death spells, and so on.
The capture cards will be treated as like a weapon, but will capture the creatures that it hits. Success on capturing creatures can get a bit tricky depending on the the level of the creature vs. the card’s capture level. For example, a fire creature that is a level 5 cannot be captured by a level 3 water based capture card. Every creature will have a certain level. All of the creatures will also have an element that will be either stronger or weaker against each other. Capture cards will be aligned to these following elements:
Light
Dark
Fire
Water
Wood
Air
Earth
Neutral
Neutral creatures will be more challenging to capture. They are not greatly effected by the elements themselves, however, they still can be captured the same way. For example, a level 5 neutral creature is unaffected by a level 2 Water, Fire, Wood, etc capture card. So in order to capture the creature, you must use a higher level capture card and make sure it is one of the stronger elements of the seven.
Stats For The Player
There will be special power-ups to increase your capture succession rate on each creature that you come across. You will start out with a 20% chance of capturing the following elements:
Fire
Water
Earth
Air
That means your stats should look like this:
Fire: 5%
Water: 5%
Earth: 5%
Air: 5%
And for the capture cards:
Fire: 5% chance of capture
Water: 5% chance of capture
Earth: 5% chance of capture
Air: 5% chance of capture

Player Card Deck
Here is a list of cards that you will start out with:
(5) Level 1 Fire Cards
(5) Level 1 Air Cards
(9) Level 1 Water Cards
(5) Level 1 Earth Cards
(10) Level 1 Capture Cards
*Note: 4 of the level 1 water cards will be healing creatures and the other will be card regeneration creature cards.
Deck Creation
When creating a deck, you must always have some healing and card regeneration creatures in your deck so that you won’t run out of cards and get yourself killed in battle.
Now take note of the level of healing creature cards and regeneration cards. For example, a level 1 healing creature card can only restore up to 10% of your health, while a level 5 healing creature card can restore 50% or more of your health. The same thing goes for regeneration creature cards. A level 1 regeneration creature card can restore up to 5 of your cards that you have used already (excluding the regeneration creature card itself), while a level 5 regeneration creature card can restore up to 15 of your cards back to your deck (excluding the regeneration creature card itself, unless you have more than one in your deck).
Note: Healing creature and card regeneration creature cards are summon once cards only. There will be a lot of those in this mod.
Tips on Creating or Editing your Deck
1.) Carry more than one regeneration creature cards in your deck.
2.) Make sure that you keep the balance between how many Independent creatures? and One-Time only summons? creature cards in your deck.
3.) In many of your battles you may need to keep the heat off of you, so it will be of good use to keep some decoy cards in your deck.
4.) Always remember which element defeats the other when capturing creatures, so that you make sure that the capture is successful.
5.) When dealing with Neutral creatures, always use the strongest in element that is a few more levels higher than the creature you are trying to capture to increase your succession rate of capturing the creature.
6.) Never waste blank capture cards. As these are rare cards to come across, and are scattered all over Akihiron.
As you play through this mod you’ll get more adept at many situations that come your way.
As this is a unfinished readme you can kinda grab the idea of what this mod is about. I have to explain alot more as I go along but this mod will be taking no time to create/produce is that this one is going to have alot of scripting in it. Tell me what do ya think! Is it worth playing?
