The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This technology represents a paradigm shift in how maps are produced, but is still fundamentally a subset of traditional cartography.
- The primary function of this technology is to produce maps, including creation of accurate representations of a particular area such as, detailing major road arteries and other points of interest for navigation, and in the creation of thematic maps.
- Computer cartography is one of the main functions of geographic information systems, however, GIS is not necessary to facilitate computer cartography and has functions beyond just making maps.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Computer cartography article was read about 4,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Computer cartography
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
