It’s tough to directly oppose the Kampaku at the beginning, as they control a huge army that no regional lord can hope to defeat. Success requires a strategic, long-term approach, and skillfully using the alliances within Japan’s Bloc system.
Building up your Merit is incredibly important. It raises your rank from 9th place to 1st (or 5th place outside of China), and this rank is the biggest thing the Emperor looks at when choosing governors and ministers – even more important than your initial potential.

Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein’s Monster looks fantastic. The special effects and makeup used to turn Jacob Elordi into the creature are truly impressive. According to Variety, Elordi’s prosthetics consisted of 42 pieces for his entire body, including 14 for just his head and neck. The creation of the full creature required a total of 54 silicone pieces. Each time Elordi was fully transformed took 10 hours, and this process happened 50 times during filming! Prosthetic artist Mike Hill explained their goal was to visually expose the inner workings of the human body, which is why the veins are so clearly visible on the Monster.

Cassandra Peterson, the actress who brought Elvira to life, has retired from playing the character in person. However, she still manages the Elvira brand, and you can find plenty of Elvira-themed products, especially around Halloween. Though she’s no longer wearing the makeup, her voice still sounds exactly the same! This makes us wonder if she could bring Elvira back to life as a voice-over artist for a new radio show. There have been so many great spooky songs released in the last 35 years that would be perfect for a playlist, and we’d definitely listen to a show like Elvira’s Halloween Party Part II.
