Kaiju appear randomly at a certain distance from the base and move around randomly, but might be prompted to head towards the base. If it reaches the base, it will lay waste to the whole thing. Teams can be sent to do things:
- COMBAT: Direct assault on the kaiju, but unless the team has a kaiju-buster the kaiju has an extra factor of 10 in its enormous stats and damage is reduced to a maximum of 1.
- MAGIC: Attempt to seal the kaiju in a special artifact. Without the artifact, it acts like a direct assault. A kaiju-buster is needed for this also.
- SUBTLETY: Several options:
- Redirect (sub/com): change the trajectory of the kaiju
- Scout (pure sub): collect info
- Study (sub/mag): gain knowledge, needed for research team to make kaiju-buster
- MORE??
