Description:

Adds the multiverse’s most awkward necromancer, Valkrana, as an alternative leader of Ravenloft for Fuzzle’s Strahd von Zarovich (D&D). Cast your spells at the perfect moment for maximum effect, or at your leisure while your skeletons hack at the enemy. Learn more about the character on Valkrana’s website.[valkrana.moe] All Valkrana leaders should be used separately.

Leader Traits
Ability: Arcanum Necromantic

You gain one use of your spellbook upon first obtaining each Relic. The Library has a slot for Relics, which provide +2 Great Scientist points per turn. 10% chance for land units lost or destroyed in combat to be reanimated as a Skeleton under your control. Unlocks the Skeleton unit.

Spells

  • Scry: Permanently reveal a city belonging to target leader. Targets a different city per use, or increases your visibility radius over a city. Targets a random plot if no leaders have been met.
  • Kinetic Barrier: Grant your units a +10 Combat Strength bonus when defending. Lasts 5 turns and stacks duration.
  • Well of Souls: Heal your skeletons for an amount equal to 20 plus twice the number of units you have destroyed since you last used this spell.
  • Skeleport: Spawn 3 hostile skeletons near target leader’s city. Targets a random plot if no leaders have been met.

Unit: Skeleton

Unique long-lasting melee unit that replaces the warrior. Gains +10 Combat Strength when the Library is first constructed, and +20 Combat Strength when the University and Research Lab are first constructed. Can repair improvements and remove features.

Agenda: Awkward Infomonger

Valkrana is awkward, and has a permanent penalty to diplomatic score with other civilizations. Each Relic a civilization discovers will slightly but permanently improve her opinion of that civilization, up to five times. She hates civilizations that have spied on her. Valkrana’s main focuses are science and espionage.

  • Skeletons will change appearance as they gain strength.
  • Skeletons’ hats are randomized per strength threshold.
  • Leader kudos are chosen semi-randomly from a dialogue pool.
  • Arcanum Necromantic reanimation chance is halved vs. barbarians.
  • Scry’s initial reveal radius is 2 tiles, including the center tile.
  • AI uses spells semi-randomly.
  • When Valkrana is defeated, a number of hostile skeletons will appear.
  • Valkrana’s awkward penalty is -5.
  • Relics obtained by capture, trade, and discovery all count toward ability.
