Wow you've really put so much thought into the mechanics of this faction, making sure everything fits together just right and is laid out on the board in an intuitive way. Your art and theming is also just top notch, I really mean it,
Really cool faction!
I really like the moon phase mechanic and the lone wolf mechanic.
You should state whether recruit rounds up or down for territory size.
Also, there are a lot of points to spend a lot of cards for a faction that only draws 2-3 cards a turn. (redeem, stray, recruit, shift, migrate.) This isn't a bad thing, just something to be aware of.
This faction has some really cool ideas! It took me a little bit to wrap my head around the Territory, but it made sense after I looked at a map. The scoring is also really interesting, as there needs to be a balance between the powerful Lone warriors and the claimed territory.
I was curious about the Lone wolves berry ability, which says "Lone warriors cannot be in your territory". What happens to them as you expand your territory? I could see a scenario where a lone wolf meets the territory criteria in Daylight, but after using the New Moon card and moving some pack warriors, the clearing it resides in becomes part of your territory.
Also, do lone wolves take 2 hits total to remove, or two hits per battle to remove? (i.e. if I battle a lone wolf and only deal one hit, can I battle it again and deal one hit to remove it? Or do I need two hits in the second battle?)
yeah the lone wolves is tricky but there is where I added the explanation in the description, you are not allowed to place or move lone warriors in your territory, but if pack warriors try to make a clearing with a lone warrior then it stays a non territory clearing. Also they take 2 hits per battle since it is not able to be tracked.
Great, thanks for the clarifications!
