I like your ideas here! Having a faction with two different types of warriors makes for some interesting dynamics.
I did have a few questions about the sap tokens. Does the Sap track ever reset? As far as I could see, Sap tokens that are placed on the track are never removed. If that's the case, is it possible to run out of Sap tokens? If there were 6 on the Sap track, that would only leave 2 Sap tokens to be placed at the end of Daylight. And what happens to Sap after the Monarch comes out? The "Return sap" step says that sap is returned to the Pupa's clearing, not the Monarch's. Sorry, might've missed something about the sap tokens, but hoping you can help!
