Question:
What is the maximum number of fourth circle minions that can be on the board at once?
What happens if the you are at this maximum and you need to spawn one? Increase doom by 4 as if they left the board?
Apologies if I’ve missed something obvious in the rules which explains this…
I don’t think there is a maximum, but the have sort of keeps the number low, due to the fact demons move off the board.
The most I can think of is three. The invasion map had six spaces. If you summon and “kill” the Tardigrade first, and then don’t kill the next two, you could have 3 4th Circles.
And it just occurred to me that Doomgate, Launch Site, and Dragon Guts do not remove demons from the map to avoid doom, only when you kill them. So potentially even more could arrive.

“I guess my feeling is if you actually run out of 4th circle demons you have problems so severe that letting you off easy by losing 1 doom wont’ save you.” -SP
There is no theoretical limit to the number of 4th circle demons. There is a sort of practical limit, in that too many of these things make you lose the game. This is only a problem if you don’t own enough 4th circles but in this case just follow the normal rules and lose 1 Doom instead of placing the unavailable 4th circle.
For example, if you only own the core game, you’ll only have two 4th circles – the Hellhound and the Catoblepas. It’s perfectly possible that while playing the Doomgate map you might have both of those in play at the same time, and now it’s time to generate a third, but you can’t. In that case lose 1 Doom, just as if you’d run out of Cacodemons or whatever, and keep playing.
