Another random brainstorm

I've been having a pretty annoying formatting problem with the cards lately. "Remove from game" isn't going to cut it anymore, it takes almost an entire line on the ability text to write that out, in an attempt to condense it, characters previously considered to be "removed from the game" will be considered to be "erased". (Hey, it's the best I could come up with, I spent like 15 minutes in front of thesarus.com looking for an easy term.)

Anyway, this is in reference to the first Final Fantasy for NES, that had an insta-death spell called "Rub", (and for obvious reasons, we're using what would most likely be the actual translation, not the actual name of the spell.)

This means the remove from game pile will now be the erase pile. (not the erasure pile, as to avoid 80's pop jokes, ugh.)

I don't think it's too bad, but if any of you have some better ideas, post them here.

Oh, and also, I plan to streamline another part of the game.
The locations originally had individual troop limits, (ie. smaller areas like the auction house can hold fewer characters then say Narshe Battlefield.)
I feel this mechanic didn't add too much to the game, and now all locations will have a default 6 characters for the location's correct class, and 4 characters max for the other 2.

  1. good choices all around. did you maybe consider "withdrawn" as opposed to "erased." withdrawn from battle... although i do like the allusion to rub...

  2. Well, it makes a shit-ton more sense than "Erase".
    After I thought about it for a day, using Erase could confuse a ton of people, and considering the entire game is based around battles, "withdrawn" seems to fit the bill nicely. I think I'm going to go with that.
