 # Vampire Expansion — Implementation TODO
 Branch: `feat/expansions`
 Thematic currency names:
 - Gold → **Blood**
 - Essence → **Ichor**
 - Crystals → **Soul Shards**
 - Runestones → **Bloodstones**
 - Echoes → **Whispers**
 - Click action → **Hunt**
 - Adventurers → **Thralls**
 - Prestige → **Siring** (working name)
 - Transcendence → **The Awakening** (working name)
 - Apotheosis → **Eternal Sovereignty** (role ID: 1486144657023959180)
 CDN prefix for all vampire art: `https://cdn.nhcarrigan.com/elysium/vampire/<folder>/<id>.jpg`
 Local scratch dir (delete before committing): `img/vampire/`
 ---
 ## Phase 1 — Types
 - [ ] Add `VampireExpansionState` interface to `packages/types/src/interfaces/` mirroring full `GameState` structure (zones, bosses, quests, adventurers, upgrades, equipment, achievements, prestige, transcendence, apotheosis, exploration, resources, baseClickPower, lastTickAt, dailyChallenges, codex, autoQuest, autoBoss, autoAdventurer, companions, story)
 - [ ] Add `ExpansionsState` interface: `{ vampire?: VampireExpansionState }`
 - [ ] Add `expansions?: ExpansionsState` field to `GameState`
 - [ ] Export new types from `packages/types/src/index.ts`
 ---
 ## Phase 2 — Data files (vampire content)
 All data files go in `apps/api/src/data/vampire/`.
 Same content scale as base game; use vampire theming throughout.
 - [ ] `zones.ts` — 18 vampire-themed zones (crypts, blood forests, cursed castles, etc.)
 - [ ] `bosses.ts` — 72 vampire-themed bosses (4 per zone)
 - [ ] `quests.ts` — match base game quest count (~95); vampire-themed names/descriptions
 - [ ] `adventurers.ts` — 32 thrall tiers with progressive stats
 - [ ] `upgrades.ts` — match base game upgrade count (~57); vampire-themed
 - [ ] `equipment.ts` — match base game equipment count (~53); vampire-themed sets
 - [ ] `equipmentSets.ts` — vampire equipment sets
 - [ ] `achievements.ts` — match base game count (~40); vampire-themed conditions
 - [ ] `explorations.ts` — 72 areas across 18 vampire lore zones
 - [ ] `materials.ts` — match base game material count (~54); vampire-themed
 - [ ] `recipes.ts` — match base game recipe count (~36); vampire-themed
 - [ ] `prestigeUpgrades.ts` — 25 "Siring" upgrades
 - [ ] `transcendenceUpgrades.ts` — 15 "Awakening" upgrades
 - [ ] `dailyChallenges.ts` — 10 vampire daily challenges
 - [ ] `initialState.ts` — `initialVampireState()` function mirroring `initialGameState` structure
 ---
 ## Phase 3 — Art generation & CDN upload
 For each category below, generate images via Gemini API (`gemini-3-pro-image-preview`),
 save locally to `img/vampire/<folder>/`, upload to R2, then delete local files.
 Use soft-shaded anime style; vampire/gothic aesthetic; crimson/black/dark purple palette.
 - [ ] Zone banners (18) → `img/vampire/zones/` → CDN `vampire/zones/`
 - [ ] Boss portraits (72) → `img/vampire/bosses/` → CDN `vampire/bosses/`
 - [ ] Quest banners (match count) → `img/vampire/quests/` → CDN `vampire/quests/`
 - [ ] Adventurer/thrall portraits (32) → `img/vampire/adventurers/` → CDN `vampire/adventurers/`
 - [ ] Equipment icons (match count) → `img/vampire/equipment/` → CDN `vampire/equipment/`
 - [ ] Achievement icons (match count) → `img/vampire/achievements/` → CDN `vampire/achievements/`
 - [ ] Exploration area art (72) → `img/vampire/explorations/` → CDN `vampire/explorations/`
 - [ ] Material icons (match count) → `img/vampire/materials/` → CDN `vampire/materials/`
 - [ ] Story chapter banners (match count) → `img/vampire/story-chapters/` → CDN `vampire/story-chapters/`
 ---
 ## Phase 4 — API changes
 - [ ] Add `inGuild` to Prisma `Player` model → update `initialGameState` if needed (already done in #134 — verify migration)
 - [ ] Update Prisma schema: no DB changes needed (expansion state is inside the `GameState` JSON blob)
 - [ ] Update `initialState.ts` to include `expansions: {}` in `initialGameState`
 - [ ] Update `sync-new-content` debug route to inject/patch vampire expansion content when expansion is unlocked
 - [ ] Add vampire-specific unlock trigger: when base-game apotheosis count ≥ 1, set `expansions.vampire` to `initialVampireState()` and `unlocked: true`
 - [ ] Update the load endpoint to pass expansion state through to the client
 - [ ] Ensure prestige/transcendence/apotheosis routes only reset state for their own expansion (base game routes must NOT touch `expansions.*`)
 - [ ] Add vampire prestige, transcendence, and apotheosis routes (mirrors of base game routes, scoped to `expansions.vampire`)
 - [ ] Grant `Eternal Sovereignty` role (ID: `1486144657023959180`) on vampire apotheosis
 ---
 ## Phase 5 — Frontend changes
 ### Expansion switcher
 - [ ] Add expansion toggle buttons below the Early Access warning in the sidebar
 - [ ] Always render all expansion buttons; disable any where `unlocked !== true`
 - [ ] Active expansion stored in React state (not game state); defaults to `"base"`
 - [ ] Switching expansion updates which data the UI panels display
 ### Resource bar
 - [ ] Show ALL currencies from ALL expansions as separate labelled lines
 - [ ] Vampire currencies use distinct icons/colours (crimson tint for blood, etc.)
 - [ ] The "expand" button label shows the gold-equivalent currency of the active expansion
 ### Thematic UI
 - [ ] When vampire expansion is active, swap labels: gold → Blood, essence → Ichor, etc.
 - [ ] Apply `.vampire-mode` CSS class to game container when vampire is active
 - [ ] Vampire colour palette: deep crimsons (`#5C0A1A`), rich crimson (`#C41E3A`), blacks, desaturated purples
 ### Tick engine
 - [ ] Update `apps/web/src/engine/tick.ts` to compute passive income for all unlocked expansions every tick (not just base game)
 - [ ] Offline income calculation must also cover all expansions
 ### Profile
 - [ ] Profile panel: tab stats by expansion (base game tab + one tab per unlocked expansion)
 - [ ] Show correct thematic prestige/transcendence/apotheosis badge names per expansion
 - [ ] Lifetime stats (gold earned, clicks, etc.) tracked separately per expansion
 ### About / How to Play
 - [ ] Update `aboutPanel.tsx` `HOW_TO_PLAY` array to document the expansion system
 ---
 ## Phase 6 — Tests & CI
 - [ ] Unit tests for all new data files (at minimum, validate structure/required fields)
 - [ ] Unit tests for `initialVampireState()`
 - [ ] Tests for vampire unlock trigger route
 - [ ] Tests for vampire prestige/transcendence/apotheosis routes
 - [ ] Tests for updated tick engine (expansion income)
 - [ ] Maintain 100% coverage on `apps/api` and `packages/types`
 - [ ] Full pipeline: lint → build → test passing before PR
 ---
 ## Phase 7 — Final
 - [ ] Delete `img/vampire/` directory before committing
 - [ ] Update `MEMORY.md` with new content counts
 - [ ] Open PR → request review
