Requests For New Villains

For stats “Terrible”, “Poor”, “Medium”, “Good”, “Excellent” will do as much as numbers.

Super villains (New concept)

Super villains are obnoxiously powerful. They are gods that created the world and let it be. But you upset the world by taking it over, and pissed them off. Super villains only appear after all main villains are destroyed, and pose a final challenge for keepers. Super villains are only available in Free play, will only appear if enabled, and dungeons have a star after defeating them. Options include invasion after receiving a letter from the Gods, or the ability to invade the realm of the gods after building a portal.

Concept: A postgame challenge for hardcore players.

Ex. Zeus

Stats: Large, all excellent,
Speed = 130

King has two legendary dukes surrounding him, with a population of knights, wizards, and archers. Wizards have stats of Orc Shaman, know sorcery level 1, have healing skill, and, know fire sphere.
