2. Basic Theory -Five Attributes-
2.1 The interaction of the "Room"s (5 gods)
The player makes rooms in the dungeons and connect them with paths.
When player made a room, player must select the role and the god of the room.
There are 5 kinds of gods, "Fire","Water","Wood","earth" and "Gold".
Each room is influenced by the connection with other rooms.
Room1(Fire)-Room2(Wood)-room3(Earth)
In the Room2, a god of "Wood" is living, so it has 1 "Wood" power.
And "Fire" power flows from the Room1 and "Earth" power flows from the Room3.
So Room2 has 1 "Wood" power, 1 "Fire" power and 1 "Earth" power.
And there is a theory of "the flow of the power".
"Water"->"Wood","Wood"->"Fire","Fire"->"Earth","Earth"->"Gold" and "Gold"->"Water"
is the good flow, so flows increase double(X2).
"Water"->"Fire","Fire"->"Gold","Gold"->"Wood","Wood"->"Earth" and "Earth"->"Water"
is the bad flow, so flows decrease half(1/2).
And under decimal point will be cut (0.5->0, 1.5->1, 2.5->2...)
So,
Room1(Water)-Room2(Wood)-room3(Gold)
In the Room2, a god of "Wood" is living, so it has 1 "Wood" power.
"Water" power flows from the Room1 and the power increase double.
and "Gold" power flows from the Room3 but the power decrease half (0.5->0).
So Room2 has 1 "Wood" power, 2 "Water" power and 0 "Gold" power.
NOTICE:If player makes 2 paths between 2 rooms, the flow of the power increase double.
2.2 The influence of the Door
When make a "Path" from a room to a room, a "Door" is attached at the entrance of other room.
room1 room2 (there is no "Path" between 2 rooms)
room1-room2 (when player makes a Path from room1,)
room1-#room2(automatically a "Door" is attached at entrance of room2.)
If there is a "Door", the power increase double.
Room1(Fire)-#Room2(Wood)
In the Room2, a god of "Wood" is living, so it has 1 "Wood" power.
And "Fire" power flows from the Room1 and the "Door" makes the power increase double.
So Room2 has 1 "Wood" power, 2 "Fire" power.
But the "Door" doesn't work from room2 to room1 (one way).
NOTICE1:The "Door" isn't attached to the corner of the room.
NOTICE2:The "Door" isn't attached when the "Path" is too short.
3.Walkthrough of Scenario Mode (First Scenario)
