Percentages don't actually attack. We need attack values.

Is that all of ones you recieved or will you post more?

That's all I got, so I either lost yours, or I didn't receive it. Please send me it if you have one.

I want to be a card!

I want to be the very best.
That no one every was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.

I will travel across the land,
Searching far and wide (DO DO DO)
Each NS Card, to understand,
You need to make your own.

I don't know you. Prove me wrong.

Great card, but it'd be best to have actual values rather than percentages for attacks, since we risk doing things like decimals, which equates to being super confusing for the Gamemaster.

Attacks:
[Humanitarian Efforts- Recover 3 defense to any allied card.]
[Strategic Bombing- 3. On your next turn, this attack's base damage is 2.]

- I love you

Sorry for the confusion but I meant that the attacked card's damage is lessened by one not mine due to his military bases being bombed or whatnot.

Or maybe you knew that and decided to lessen my attack instead, which is ok with me.

I bolded the portion of the name I wanted used (Mewsland-Kardonia).

Flag is best grabbed from my nation page.

[Yohannes]

[Ustio North]
Defense: 5
[Type: Political (P)]
[Ability - Miraculous Comeback - When defeated by Rethan, Ustio North may remain in play with 1 defence until attacked again.]

Hah! Take that Ustio my bro.

[Red Tide2]

[Red Tidean Union]
Defense: 6
[Military (M)]
[Ablity - Vast Reserves: All of your other cards in play gain a permanent defense buff of +2 as long as the Vast Reserves card is in play. The buff is removed as soon as this card is destroyed. Vast Reserves does not stack.]
Attacks:
[Shock Assault: 3 - Red Tidean Union does 1 damage to itself]
[Deep Penetration: Does 2 damage to a random card in the opponent's safe zone.]

- I made Vast Reserves unstackable, since VR + Azumeth = 14-16 Defense godlessness
- Made you do damage to yourself, since you have inherent buffer anyways

I would like to point out that, by this wording, VR doesn't apply its ability to itself. Should that change? Or does each nation get multiple cards?

I also came up with descriptions if you want to use them:

Vast Reserves: The Red Tidean military forms new ground divisions and fighter regiments from its vast stocks of equipment and massive pool of manpower.
Shock Assault: The Red Tidean army launches a monstrous assault, relying on massed firepower and numbers to breach the opposing line.
Deep Penetration: After breaking through, a raging torrent of Red Tidean mechanized forces rushes through the gap, aiming to go as far as possible and wreak as much havoc as they can upon the enemy in the process.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

[The Holy Empire of Zarkenis Ultima]
Defense: 4
[Type: (M)]
[Ability - Zarken XV's Might - Next attack will deal double damage, but Defense will be halved next turn. Can only be used once every 3 turns]
Attacks:
[Battleship Charge - Deploys Shocknium Battleships that cause 3 damage and decrease the foe's next attack by 1]
[Neuro Siege - Deploys NeuroCannons that deal 5 damage. This attack raises Zarkenis Ultima's defense by 1 and stuns it for 2 turns.]

Is this alright?

[Goldsaver]

Is this better? Could you explain what you mean by broken? :/
[Goldsaver]
Defense: 3
[Type:M]
[Ability - Suppression, lowers a chosen card's attack by one for two turns; can only be used every five turns]
Attacks:
[Sharpshooting- Does 1 Damage to any enemy card]
[Clusterbomb- Does 3 Damage to a random enemy card]

[Slaytesics]

[The Holy Empire of Zarkenis Ultima]

[Ability - Zarken XV's Might - Next attack will deal double damage, but Defense will be halved next turn]

[Neuro Siege - Deploys NeuroCannons that deal 5 damage. This attack raises Zarkenis Ultima's defense by 1 and stuns it for 1 turn.]

Is this alright?

I'd suggest 2 or 3 turns, because one turn would just be the turn you activated the ability on

Hmm... The stun or the de-buff?

[Goldsaver]
Defense: 2
[Type:M]
[Ability - Suppression, lowers a chosen card's attack by one for two turns]
Attacks:
[Sharpshooting- Does 1 Damage to any enemy card]
[Clusterbomb- Does 2 Damage to a random enemy card]

suppression is broken because it allows you to use it infinite amount of times, allows for stacking

solutions
a) give it a LONG recharge time
b) make it cost something
c) give it a game limit and a short recharge

Changed it. Using the Ability plus Neuro Siege is basically condemning yourself to lose one defense point on the second stun turn, . More balanced now? Also, changed the ability.

Edited; five turn recharge time after it loses its effects(so seven turns total), would that work?

Not an official answer, but I think now you've gone too far the other way. The accepted defense values are mostly in the 4-6 range except a few outliers - you can probably get away with a 4 instead of a two.

Suppression might be better off designating a new target every turn, just to simplify book-keeping.

Sharpshooting and Clusterbomb can probably each have their strength increased by one, and still be fine. I think that would be in line with the three example cards.
