I recall that she is very definitely not a typical example of her kind, though. I think that they were pretty nasty, and that Dead Apostles were basically humans they'd captured and kept as slaves for feeding on. I also believe that Arc ended up killing the lot of them....

AFAIK, that was an emergency solution that they never would have done otherwise (drinking the blood of a Dead Apostle won't drive a True Ancestor insane).  After the Dead Apostles rebelled, they decided to create Arcueid to destroy those of their kind who became Demon Lords (those who drank the blood of Humans and went insane as a result).  Afterwards, those who were left simply decided to sleep rather than lose control.

Only because she went temporarily insane after drinking Roa's blood.

Heh...here's a brief play on words from H.P. Lovecraft:

"In the Millennium Castle great Arcueid sleeps and dreams."

Well, I don't know much about the True Ancestors, so I can't really comment on that....

So, who are the top tiers in CCC? (Don't know if this should be marked as spoiler tough)
I've read some things here and ther about some of them, but don't know how powerful they are and I haven't had the time to play the game even if I have it.

Hmm... from both what I've seen and looking it up, it seems to be something like this (has a few major spoilers, so watch out for that):

Spoiler for From strongest to weakest:
God tier:
BB and Kirara (All the World's Lust mode)

Gilgamesh and Tamamo (Goddess mode- not playable, but appears briefly in relation to Secret Garden stuff)

Exceptional Servant Tier:
Karna  Alter Egos may go here as well.

Maybe Saber? Though unlike Altria, she might go into Average Servant Tier.

Average Servant Tier:
Most of the other Servants I suspect. This includes Archer and both Lancers.

Weak Servant Tier:
Caster, both the playable one and Nursery Rhyme. Playable one might slide up higher due to being a glass cannon, but not 100% sure. 
If I'm wrong about anything, feel free to clarify what it is so I can try and fix it.

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

I see, then the top tiers have more or less that level. I asked because I've read some things, but thought that it was a bit exaggerated and wanted confirmation on it.

Guess I'll have to play that thing soon and see what things they made for us. Tough I don't like that much Gil... XD
Thanks for the info. :D

Gilgamesh is made up of 5 + a Servants in firepower.

IRL: Guts and brains can work together.

However, would Eye of True Mind (battle analysis by thinking up of X numbers of steps as long as you have a 1% chance of comeback) and a not very high rank [C-E] of Instinct work?

lol I was checking what would be the response to this question if two different skills can work together.

I see no reason why you couldn't possess and use both skills, no.

It is easier to justify:
Instinct C (couldn't really tell the description of a C ranked version, since no one had it)
Eye of True Mind C (same here)
than:
Instinct (直感, Chokkan?) is the power to "feel" the most favorable developments for oneself during battle.
Instinct A Refined sixth sense is now close to true precognition. Bonus effect of reducing by half the penalties caused by obstructed vision and hearing.
Eye of True Mind ?
or
Eye of the Mind (True) (心眼(真), Shingan (Shin)?) is a heightened capacity for observation, refined through experience.

Eye of True Mind B (Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning. )
Instinct ?

It depends who you're talking about. Any of those things can be justified if they fit the hero in question.

What are the question marks for, though? I'm not totally sure how the three options differ....

Oh. I was probably wondering how it would be possible though...
