The Story
In a time between times... the world was quite a different place.
New Rules
Character Decks
Positive Reinforcement Deck
Focuses on pounding your enemies, motivating your troops, and unleashing the max potential of your forces.
Constructive Juggernaut Deck
Through hard work, focus, and a mind dedicated to conquering the masses, you plow your way towards victory.
Innocent Deception Deck
Some call it, 'the game', but for others, its a lifestyle. Through tricks and tactics, you deceive your enemies off and on the battlefield.
Loyal Justice Deck
Through good service to your soldiers and people, they rally to your cause and aid you in anyway possible, to maintain the harmony of peace.
Manipulative Recluse deck
Sometimes its the ones you don't see that hurt you the most. Through powers that to some, seem uncanny, you slowly spread across the land, territory by territory.
Analytic Annihilation Deck
By studying your opponents movements and abilities, you understand how they work almost as well as they do, using their tricks against them.
Inspiring Dreams & Ambitions Deck
Whether its through summoning mystical creatures to bolster your armies, or putting your enemies into strange and outlandish dreams, you turn your dreams into reality.
Quelling the Conquest Deck
Warfare is not the only way to victory. Through diplomacy, trading, and other questionable means, the violent conquests that ravage the land are slowing to a stop.
Durable Defenses Deck
Armies aren't the only thing that build up a powerful civilization. It is also in constructs and glorious structures that symbolize power and resolve of a people.
Otherworldly Obliteration Deck
You have no chance to survive make your time.
Crimson Manufacturer Deck

How to Play
General Definitions
Territory: A territory is 1 space, but varies in size and shape. The world map is made up of territories, and they are the smallest geographical area in the game.
Region: A region is composed of a number of territories. Like territories, regions vary in size and shape, and offer different bonuses depending on the number of territories within their boundaries, how hard it is to defend and so forth. A region is the second smallest geographical area in the game.
Continents: A continent is an area made up of a number of regions. Continents have even larger bonuses to regions. They are the second largest geographical area in the game. Continents do not stack bonuses with regions, but rather, absorb them into a colossal bonus.
Quadrant: A quadrant [or hemisphere], is approximately a quarter of the entire map. This may be 1 or 2 continents in size, and may have territories, or sections of regions from other continents as well. It is the largest geographical region in the game, as if you control every quadrant, you've met one of the requirements for victory, and thus the game is over. Controlling a quadrant may or may not grant your additional bonuses.
Hub: The Hub, or Hub Areas, are specific places on the map that the players places their starting army. The hub is designed to sporadically spread players out throughout the map, outside of their starting territory (with their capital city). You can see an example of the hub right here.
Army: Sometimes referred to as a unit, an army is a single piece, representing one "unit" on the map. It is the smallest unit in the game. An army is your people your soldiers, and so forth. An army can gather and use other functions, the name is used for familiarity purposes with the original risk game.
Force: A force is a collection of armies (more than 1 army) that moves collectively, and is generally regulated to an offensive unit. There is no maximum definition to a "force", and is a less technical term than definitions. It is often used in commander abilities. A force is always on a single territory. Once it has moved to a new territory, the force is split [unless only 1 army is left behind]. The general rule for defining a force, is any army that is greater than 1. [Do not be confused by units that represent multiple armies].
TurnA turn begins with a pre-upkeep phase, and ends with an end phase. One player takes one turn.
Round:A round begins with the player who goes first, and ends when the last player finishes their turn. Rounds are generally not counted, but some effects may be "once per round", so it should be kept in mind when such abilities are at play.
Node: A node is a pocket of resources you can gather. A node refers to the limitation on resources you can gather on a specific territory. (Which is 3). Generally speaking, when an ability or effect is talking about a node, they are referring to the presence of a resource on a territory, and not the number of resources that node has left.
Murmur: Murmur refers to a general series of stories written by [RDS]. In terms of game, some of the characters, themes, and ideas are derived from the Murmur Universe, and is more or less adds personal stylistic flavor to a classic game [sort of similar to Lord of the Rings Risk].
Setting up
Game Item Checklist
1 Game Board
11 Player Decks
1 General Territory Stack [Consisting of a card that represents every non-capital city territory].
1 Capital Territory Stack [Consisting of the capital cards]1
1 Building Stack [Consisting of ~22 cards of each building.]
200 Variety Building Tokens2
20 Commander Counters
10 Eight sided Dice [Minimum]
1 20 sided dice [Minimum]
500 Standard Army units per character2
100 5 Army units per character2
50 10 army units per character2
25 20 army units per character 2
200 Resource tokens [of each resource]2
24 Special Unit Pieces
220 Merchant Tokens
220 Self-Sufficient Tokens
1 - Capital city cards begin in player decks, but after each city has been selected they are removed from the decks and placed in a stack of their own.
2 - Numbers are mostly estimated based on a vague formula. There are 42 territories in Godstorm risk (and possibly regular risk), the numbers on this list were derived by multiplying that number by 4, and then subtracted it by 22 for each capital city in the game, and then for safety measures, 60 was added to ensure excess.
Place the game board on a table, or hard surface. Soft surfaces are not suggested as they skew dice rolls, and do not provide solid ground for the game pieces to be placed. Set the player decks out for each player to look through if need be. Afterwards, remove the unused capital city cards and place them in a special stack on the side of the game board, along with the building stack, and regular territory stack. Each player will have a container or containers for their tokens and armies. Keep the dice in an accessible area. It is also suggested that you create a designated rolling space so that the dice do not knock over the pieces.
Commander cards are always played face up. The other cards in the players deck may remain face down, and can be viewed by that player only. Players have access to every card in their deck, but may not necessarily be able to play them. Once you play a card, it becomes face up so other players can see what it does.
Players are not required to reveal territory cards they draw, unless they are trading them, or using them for a bonus or trade in.
This game of "Risk" is a Medieval Murmur styled board game that can [comfortably] accommodate up to 11 players (and can uncomfortable accommodate 22). Unlike normal risk, where much of your army's fate lies in the roll of the dice, this variation relies more on your economy, strategy, and building up your army. Although theoretically, it can still be played like normal risk.
Much of the game is based on a variety of decks you can play with. The Positive Reinforcement deck, for example, is a more aggressive, rallying play-style, that brings up troops quickly, and moves them across long distances in a short amount of time. As opposed to the Analytic Annihilation Deck, that focuses more on copying your opponent's abilities, and using it against them.
To begin, you first select a deck you'd like to use during the game. Deciding what deck to play with is perhaps the most important decision in the game. Each deck has an assortment of unique cards, including two commander cards that drastically vary in play-style. (You select one of two commander cards). Commander cards are placed face up, in front of you, and have specific powers you can upgrade through a certain cost during the game. Every deck is also tied to two different capital cities that also have different advantages and disadvantages! [For example]: A capital city chosen in a secluded area will have better natural defenses, but may lack in economic value, or unit output. But a Capital that resides in the center of a continent will be harder to control, despite having a stronger upkeep and access to more resources. In addition, every deck has a unique building (or buildings), and a unique unit (or units). But we'll get to all that later.
For now, the basics!
Once every player has selected a deck and a commander, everyone rolls a twenty sided dice (d20), to determine turn order. The highest roller goes first. The order then moves clockwise or counterclockwise depending on who rolled highest (between the person on their left, or the person on their right). The player who moves first selects a capital city (from their deck) and places an army in that territory. Consequently, the capital city they did not select goes into a special stack known as the (capital city stack). In addition to placing one army on their preferred capital city, each player (in the same turn), places 1 army in the hub area. Once this has been completed, the empty spaces are filled with "Unaligned Pieces", that aren't controlled by anyone.
The turn order remains the same, and the first player makes their move. The first phase is a [Pre-upkeep phase]. Any abilities that begin before your upkeep phase are activated now, as well as any abilities that happen "at the beginning of the game" or "at the start of your turn" as your turn starts right now.
Once that phase has resolved, you enter your upkeep phase. During this phase you place your armies in accordance to your upkeep. Please keep in mind any bonuses or abilities you currently have activated! The number of armies you can naturally place, is equal to your total territory count, divided by three, but can't be zero. You can only place your army in a territory you own. So at the start of the game, you can place only a single army to start your turn (because you only own 2 territories). But for example, when you reach 6 territories, you can place 2 armies. Your upkeep phase is when you also technically receive resources (if you have been gathering, which we will get to in just a second~).
Once your upkeep phase has completed, you are in your primary action phase or Main action phase. Here you can attack, trade, build, gather, or use an action ability, as indicated on a specific card. Here is a rundown on the basic the primary actions you can take:
Attack: You attack an adjacent space from a territory you own. You roll an eight sided dice (d8) based on the number of armies you own in the territory you are attacking from:
2 armies = 1 dice
3 armies = 2 dice
4 armies = 3 dice
6 armies = 4 dice
9 armies = 5 dice
13 armies + = 6 dice
and the defenders roll this number of dice based on the armies in the defending territory:
1 army = 1 dice
2 armies = 2 dice
4 armies = 3 dice
7 armies + = 4 dice
This is very similar to regular risk but has been slightly modified to minimize luck. Keep in mind that buildings, such as capital cities and fortresses have a variable bonus to attacking and defending, making it easier to keep and expand from a central area. And just as in regular risk, no territory can be left open! When you have successfully invaded a territory, you move your armies into that territory. There are some rules to how many armies you can move based on the number of dice you have rolled.
If you roll 1 dice, you can only move 1 army.
If you roll 2 dice, you can only move 2 armies.
If your 3 dice, you can only move 3 armies.
If you are rolling 4 or more dice, you can move up to as many armies as you wish, but you have to leave 1 army behind, as to prevent a territory from becoming open.
Trading is a bit different in this game than regular risk. You can't trade with someone you technically can't reach! This means you have to have an adjacent territory to the person you wish to trade with, in order to trade. Trading is always balanced. You can trade cards, (unless stated otherwise), as long as it is 1:1. You can also cede territories to gain another. (As long as you have a piece to move into the territory, you cannot reinforce a piece to fill a gap). Trading can also be of resources, as long as it is 1:1 and you have a shared territory, unless otherwise stated. You may also, in certain circumstances, trade armies for resources as well. If another player has a courthouse built, you may offer your armies to them in exchange for a resource. The trade is still 1:1, (sadly, bartering seems like too much of a gamble at this point).
Alliances: Alliance rules apply only when you decide it at the start of the game. Teams do not need to be of equal size. In alliance rules, the game is a bit different depending on how you want to play. You may cede territories to those you are allied with as a free action. You may also jointly receive half of a bonus if you decide to co-rule a region. You may never attack an alliance member or betray them. (Just play normally if you want to do it). If a member of your alliance is defeated, you (or every other member in the alliance), obtains their spoils, instead of the conquering force.
Peace Treaties: As fun as it is to stab your friends in the back (which can still be done if you so desire, by simply ignoring this rule and not encouraging an official peace treaty), you can use this official rule to solidify your peace try with a friend. It is highly encouraged that you play using "Alliance Rules" If you wish to play on teams, instead of relying only on peace treaties. Peace treaties can last either 5 turns, or 10 turns (you both decide), and are for short term alliances against a common enemy. You cannot attack a player you are in a peace agreement with. You are given free reign to retreat any forces you have stationed in a territory claimed by a member who has a peace treaty with you.
Building requires resources. Building allows you to construct beneficial structures on specific territories. These can be walls that help defend, or economic structures that help increase your income. Buildings require time, however. Every building has a turn number for completion. If you lose the territory in battle while a building is being construction, the enemy could take it for themselves, or consolidate the resources for their own projects!
Gathering resources allows you to accumulate resources for building or trading. Certain territories have resources that can be gathered, making them more valuable than others. Similar to building, gathering resources takes time (1 turn to be exact). If your army is defeated while collecting resources, your enemy will take them from you. So be careful! Gathering is a main action, so when you gather from a territory, you can't attack with the same force! During your upkeep phase, you automatically receive the resource you were gathering. Even if a force crushed your army after you gathered your resources, you do not lose anything.
After you are done with your actions, you come into your reinforcements, or movement phase. Sometimes you need to retreat your armies back, or you need to send them forward to the front lines. You can only chain reinforce two territories, however. But displacement rules still apply. (If you move 1 army into a space with 5 units, you can move all 5 of those movements one space, completing the reinforcement process).
Once your reinforcement phase is finished, you enter your end phase.
The End phase is more than just an empty phase that indicates the end of your turn, it is also the drawing phase. Drawing from the various neutral decks requires a specific action. If you take a territory during your turn, during your end phase you may take a territory card from the deck. If you successfully gathered a resource [which will be apparent during your upkeep phase], you may select a building from the building deck (yes, you get to search through it without getting screwed by random draws!). You may only draw from the capital city stack if you have captured a capital city territory.
Surrender rules: Sometimes you have a territory that you don't want to fight over. You can offer a surrender to the attacking player, who can decide whether or not to accept. If they accept, all your forces in that territory are pushed back to an adjacent territory you own at the attacker's choosing. All resources you may have on that territory go to the invading force, and any buildings you are constructing to the invaders as well. If the attacker refuses to accept, you may defend at no expense.
Ceding: Sometimes in the game, you may feel that you can't do anything. Maybe you've lost your capital to your bitter enemy, or maybe you have to go somewhere but don't want to hold up the other players. You may offer up your territories to another player, only if they are adjacent to you. They receive half of your standing armies, half your resources, and territory cards (but not your character cards or any specific character related abilities or cards). Ceding can only happen on your turn.
Powering up characters: Your commander can level up, all the way to the fourth tier. Each tier requires a different cost, and can be done during your main phase (as you will have received your resources for the turn by that point). Some characters require you to sacrifice armies, resources, or fulfill other conditions to gain a level up. (Such as obtain X number of territories in one turn). Each tier offers better abilities from your commander.
Leveling up Capital City and buildings: You can spend resources to help solidify your hold on your capital city. The more you spend on improving your home base, the better improvements you will receive. The same can be said for buildings as well. Buildings that you invest in will be more efficient or expand in its functions.
Trade-ins and territory cards: Territory cards work in the same way as they do in regular risk. If you own the territory of a card you own, during your upkeep phase, you can place a single army in that territory. Every territory has a specific symbol on it. If you trade it in, you will be allowed a bonus number of armies based on the number of trade-ins you've completed.
1st trade in = 3 armies
2nd trade in = 6 armies
3rd trade in = 9 armies
4th trade in = 12 armies
5th trade in = 15 armies
Five trade ins is the maximum upkeep.
Victory Conditions:
Perhaps the most important aspect of playing any game, is knowing how to win. For this particular version of risk, we are hoping for a variety of ways towards victory, to allow players to build different strategies and approach problems in different ways.
Victory through Conquest: Perhaps the most familiar mode of victory, players who conquer the entire world are undoubtedly the victors. Victory through conquest also occurs when all but one player wins by the ceding of territories. The player who has the most territories during the event that the game board is slammed so hard that the pieces go flying or if the pieces are smeared or altered in a very aggressive or deliberate fashion, wins the game through conquest as well. While competition is good, being a sore loser is not fun for anyone (especially for yourself). One reason we have created this risk game is prevent the idiotic levels of luck that curse us at the worst times. I am guilty of ruining a game through my temper, but I am willing to admit my faults for the sake of creating a fair game. There are no "ties" if the game was smashed to bits, unless every player agrees.
Victory through Self Sufficiency: New to this version of risk, is a sign of self-sufficiency. Each player will have a self-sufficient card which has 10 slots on it for tokens (or counters). Whenever you meet a specific goal, you may put a counter on your self-sufficient card. When you get to ten tokens, if your turn ends, you have won the game. Self Sufficiency is the ability to create a stable nation that is equipped with resources and has a distinct hold on a specific area. The area must be at least 2 regions in size. You must also have at least 1 farm, 1 Dimension Well, and 1 Condensing Chamber. Once these conditions have been met, at the end of your turn you may put 1 counter on your self-sufficiency card. If you don't attack anyone, you may put 2 tokens on your card instead. At the beginning of your turn, if you have at least 10 tokens on you self sufficient card, you've won the game. If you lose a territory from either of your two designated regions, you must remove your self-sufficient tokens and start over from the beginning.
Victory through Peace: This is a very interesting mode of victory that is a hybrid of the Victory through conquest mode. The conditions for this victory are very specific. The easiest way, which will most likely never happen, is that you get a peace treaty with every single nation, and everyone agrees to peace. If everyone has a treaty with everyone, then everyone wins. The only way you can take the glory for yourself is if you force peace upon the other nations. If you are in a position where you have isolated every single nation, meaning the only one they can attack is you, (this goes for every other player), then you automatically win the game, if one round passes and you haven't lost a single territory.
Building Cards
Building cards are necessary tools for building structures. There are a variety of cards that can be built for a set number of resources.
Port
A port is where ships dock and set sail from. Boats are the only way to send an army across the sea. Sometimes the sea is a much shorter march than walking via land. So naturally, a port can only be built on a tile that is adjacent to a body of water.
Wall
Walls can only be built on single border fronts. And given the rule that there can only be one building per territory, a wall can be foolishly placed if you are not careful. A wall can be broken if attacked enough times, but it is effective in repelling smaller forces.
Siege Machine
A Siege Machine is a special building that can actually travel with an army. It cannot attack on its own, but it is super effective against other buildings, even capital cities.
Magic Portal
The magic portal is a powerful device that allows the mass transit of units from across the world instantaneously. This is extremely useful for places who have disconnected lands, and needs to send troops back and forth as need be.
Small Fort
A Small Fort allows a single territory to increase in defenses and attacks. Unlike walls, which block off incoming units, a fort has a more utility purpose.
Wagon
The wagon allows you to transport units through territories as if it were unaligned. This allows you to send armies at opponents, even if there are other players between you.
Farm
The farm can only be built on territory spaces that have a empty Naturia node. A farm produces 1 Naturia during the beginning of your upkeep.
Dimension Well
A Dimension well can only be built on an empty Echo Tear Node, and produces 1 echo tear every 2 turns (via counter on the card).
Condensing Chamber
A Condensing Chamber can be built only on an empty Lodestar Shard Node. A Condensing Chamber produces 1 Lodestar Shard every 3 turns (via counter).
Courthouse
The Courthouse serves a number of purposes. Firstly, it is required to offer citizenship to those of other nationalities who wish to join you (including unaligned units). Whenever you conscript a unit of such sorts, they are placed on the territory that your courthouse is built.
Echo Shrine
Historically, the 'Echo' has been synonymous with the afterlife. The ancient people believed that their loved ones would repeat life, casting off their earthly forms bit by bit, until they faded completely and found peace. They built temples known as Echo Shrines. Over time, the teachings found in the Echo Shrines, lead for some cultural enlightenment, and was even applied militarily. Game-Wise, the Echo Shrine is used to train cultural specific units, or deck "special units".
Resources
The Land is filled with valuable resources that can help your nation rise to the top of the ranks. During your action phase, you can gather from as many territories as you have armies positioned on, but you can only gather one resource per territory...meaning if there is two or even all three of a resource in one space, you can only gather one of the three on your turn.
Lodestar Shards
This crystallized shards are scattered all about to the outer regions, and are filled with raw power. These allow the use of various magical purposes; in some cases they help elevate commander cards into higher tiers. They can also help in the construction of magical buildings, and magical cards.
Echo Tears
Echo Tears are blobs of negative energy that collect in small pools (much like rain puddles), and have great absorptive powers. It is especially proficient in sucking up magical attacks, and it can be used to help enforce structures to protect them from such attacks. The main downside of echo tears is that they weaken the integrity of physical objects.
Naturia
Naturia is actually a theory on natural elements, such as wood, stone, and even fire. Essentially, this is a resource you gain from the natural world. You chop down a tree to procure a wooden beam, or you mine rocks from the ground to create stone slabs. In more game terms, Naturia is the collective name for generic resources, and is used to build walls, siege weapons and other structures and things.
The Unaligned Forces and Her Outlaw City
In the deep and ruthless jungles, and the harsh and treacherous deserts... to long climbs in precipitous peaks, and down into the foulest of fens... the lesser folk dwell, for gold and food alike.
As you will soon find in this game of risk, there are many unaligned people who are dotting the landscape. The vast majority of these people are lowly folk who easily cede their land for the promise of civilization and order. But there are some who know of the danger of kings and rulers. Long before your reign came to these lands, these skilled mercenaries and hidden blades took their profession of killing, stealing, and harboring food and gold, to their own strongholds. And inevitably during your conquest or venture, you will meet with them.
These people live in territories you can't capture. As described above, these "uninhabitable" areas simply not worth your attention. But sometimes they can come in handy for you. After all, everyone needs food and money to survive, and as is the case with people who live in such areas, they are willing to do almost anything for the right price.
You can use the Courthouse to naturalize them as citizens of your nation.
The Outlaw city is a special city near the hub world where no other capital cities are. After each round, 1 unaligned unit is placed on the outlaw city. The outlaw city does eventually get upgrades over a certain number of rounds passed, or based on her citizen count.
10 Citizens = Tier 2 Capital [+1 Defense, +1 Attack]
20 Citizens = Tier 3 Capital [+2 Defense, +2 Attack, Produces 1 Siege Machine]
40 Citizens = Tier 4 Capital [+3 Defense, +3 Attack, Produces 2 Siege Machines]
The Outlaw City will attack any player if they are adjacent to them. This dice is rolled by anyone (really). The Outlaws will attack in a clockwise fashion, starting from the 12 o'clock position. Once they have at least 20 citizens in their capital, they will begin to attack, sending out units 3 at a time from their capital. When that number hits 40, they will start sending out 6.
Whenever an unaligned army captures a city, it becomes an outlaw city.
Pirates and Naval Forces
The ocean is vast and huge, and doesn't really belong to anyone. But that doesn't mean some of the greatest battles in history haven't happened on the ocean! Sometimes you will be attacked by the sea. These naval forces can work a bit different from armies. Since oceanic territories don't need to be filled, ships can move at alarming speeds. An army halfway across the sea may appear on your shores and begin to lay siege to your precious home.
Ships are built in the port, and the more you upgrade your port, the stronger and faster your ships become. But, much like how there are barbarians in the mountains, and outlaws and bandits in the desert, pirates roam the seas, taking the coin of the highest bidder. Unlike some land-barbarians, you can't force a pirate to join your force with a lot of money. Instead, you pay them as an upkeep (generally a resource), and they will add their forces to yours.

Positive Reinforcement Deck
Our potential is limitless!
Zach Carter
Commander
-Tier 1: Positive Influence: Using his persuasive skills, Zach Carter convinces nearby unaligned pieces to join his cause. Once, prior to your main action phase, you can convert an unaligned piece to join you. Simply remove the unaligned piece from the board, and place one of your own armies on the territory. This can only be done to territories adjacent to your own.
-Tier 2: Rally the troops: Using his go-get-em attitude and positive enforcement, Zach Carter enables up to 2 armies to move 3 territories, in addition to the regular reinforcement phase (this ability can only be used during the reinforcement phase). Also allows +1 to one attacking dice of your choosing. Cost: 1 Resource, and a territory must be captured from a player.
-Tier 3: Offensive Motivation: This ability triggers when one of Zach's forces has taken a territory. If Zach attacks another territory with the same force, an additional army from a territory up to 3 spaces away, can be added to this force. Or, a piece can be moved up to three spaces to an adjacent territory, and the troop stationed there can be reinforced in. This ability also allows for a bonus of +2 to one attacking dice of your choosing. This ability is can be triggered for every territory attacked by the same force, but can only be applied to one force per turn. Cost: 3 Resources, and you must capture 2 territories from a player with the same force consecutively.
-Tier 4: Rally to the Cause: Zach Carter brings his troops to commit to a grand purpose, by calling upon his allies and friends from every corner of the globe! At the beginning of your upkeep you may place 1 bonus army on any territory you control. When you attack, you may place 1 bonus army on the territory you are attacking from, and you gain +2 to one attacking dice of your choosing. You also may use your Rally the Troops ability to gain an extra reinforcement (up to 2 armies can move 3 squares). Cost: 5 Resources, and you must capture 3 territories from a player with the same force consecutively.
Dysley Alcott
Commander
A sub commander may be switched out for a commander prior to the start of the game, if you have a preference to use such cards.
Tier 1 - Solo Artist: Dysley wants to win by himself! Because he's the man. Whenever you attack or defend with a single dice, you gain +1 to that dice roll.
Tier 2 - Center of Attention Not wanting to be outdone by anyone in anything, Dysley elevates his prowess by increasing his solo artist ability to get himself as the center of attention. Whenever you attack or defend with a single dice you gain +2 to that roll. Cost: 1 Resource, and you must capture a territory by attacking with a single unit.[/b]
Tier 3 - Number One Leader: The road to number one is not always easy. Whenever you attack or defend with a single dice, you may add +2 to that roll, and additionally roll a secondary dice, because you have gone above and beyond what normal people are. (Army movement rules still apply, if you roll two dice using this ability you can move two armies). Cost: 3 Resource, and you must capture 2 territories consecutively by attacking with 1 unit.[/b]
Tier 4 - Massive Following: Congrats! You've done it. Your troops don't mind letting you do all the work, and they will gladly follow you into whatever battle you send them too. Whenever you attack alone, you may add +2 to a dice of your choosing, as well as roll an additional dice. If you succeed in capturing a territory, you may add an additional +1 to your roles, and despite how many dice you roll, you may move as many troops as you would like. Additionally, if you attack with an army larger than 13, you may add an additional +1 to your rolls. Cost: 5 Resources, and you must capture 3 territories consecutively while attacking with 1 unit.
Constructive Juggernaut Deck
Strength, Power, and Dominance.
Vance Frey
Commander
Tier 1 - Rigorous Training: Through diligent practice and hard work, your armies have learned to replicate your worth ethic. Not only do they hit hard, but they don't go down easily either. When attacking, you may add +1 to your attack rolls. When defending, once per turn you may lower an enemy's attack dice by -1.
Tier 2 - Calm Composure: Like a Buddhist monk, you remain calm despite the danger that may descend upon you at any moment. Despite your serene appearance, you are constantly watching your opponent's moves, waiting to counter whatever they throw at you. Once per turn (this applies to your turn, and any opponent's turn), you may halve the value of any attacking or defending dice rolled against you. Cost: You must have 9 territories under your control. Once you reach this tier you can't go down.
Tier 3 - On the Double: You've also trained in speed and endurance, making your armies mobile. Once per turn you are able to safely retreat your entire force from a territory that is being invaded. You are also able to move any number of armies up to five territories during your reinforcement stage. Cost: You must have 12 territories under your control, and spend 3 resources.
Tier 4 - Complete Diligence: You now can use all the tier abilities you possess.
Cost: You must have 15 territories under your control, and spend 3 resources.
Edward Flammant
Commander
Tier 1 - Superiority Complex: Normal people are far below you, like puny little ants, waiting to be stepped on.

The mysterious wander that watches is Lasrever. However, there are two face to the same coin. Each time it is your turn, your new sub-commander will be Noit. Effects and progress down on the board by one sub-commander cannot be used by the respective other. The exception is the resource site of Blood Well. Lasrever Revales Sub-Commander of Space
"Reversal simplicity." Blood Well & Trade Secret - Once per upkeep you're allowed to create a blood well in any location you control.
A blood well may be stacked multiple times to increase the effect.
A blood well will generate blood each turn it exists. The orderly function of how it works is as follows:
1 Blood Well = 1 Blood stack
5 Blood Well = 2 Blood stack
10 Blood Well = 5 Blood stack
[UNIQUE RESOURCE: BLOOD] Lasr's foremost vital core is her blood. In combination of being a new business and an endless supply of blood creates opportunists for good trade! But as a master craftsman, blood can only be converted through her and her army to create the three basic resources found throughout the land. The conversion table is as follows: | Lodestar Shard | 5 Blood Stacks | | Echo Tears | 3 Blood Stacks | | Naturia | 2 Blood Stacks |
When an opposing army invades a land of your's successfully, you will lose the well and the blood being harvested will be converted into whatever the new owner's choice. Noit Carfer Sub-Commander of Time

The region could be small, or large, but I always imagined it to be close to the sea on one side. A desolate prairie that marches straight up to the coast. This "area" could be apart of a more concrete region that could be connected to other areas such as Anstead or even further south than that in The Wormheart Jungle where Earthhaven is located. This would be fairly close to replicated a continent that is similar to Africa. Here are Some Beta Images This is not the world map, this is position map.

Special Unit Database
Lion Knight
Commander: Zach Carter
The Lion Knights are trained from a young age, as the human riders are exposed to the young cubs at an early age, often times riders and their mounts have a strong connection, able to fight both while riding and separate. Unlike standard soldiers, the Lion Knight is especially skilled at mobility, strength and power. Historically, this unit has often struck terror in the hearts of their enemies.
Abilities
Lead the Charge - The Lion Knight can reinforce +1 territory space due to its superior mobility. The Lion Knight can reinforce in addition to the player's standard reinforcement phase.
Intimidating Roar - Once during your turn, whenever you attack with a force that has a Lion Knight, your opponent has -1 to defense rolls. (You can only use 1 ability per turn)
Devour the Weak - Once during your turn, whenever you attack with a force that has a Lion Knight, you may automatically remove 1 army from the defending territory.
Cost and Limitations
You can train up to three Lion Knights. It takes three turns to train, and you must have a working Echo Shrine constructed to train them. You can only train 1 Lion Knight per Echo Shrine at a time. It costs 4 Naturia, and 1 army to construct a Lion Knight.
Wizened Sage - The Pug Lord
Commander: Dysley Alcott
Although more known for his charismatic (and almost conceited) leadership, there are some that the great Dysley takes great council from. For generations, the positioned of the Wizen Sage has passed down through a linage of wise dogs, who were once outcast from their homelands by the wolves. Luckily, the ancients found the old pugs roaming in the meadows, and took them in as their disciples. Some became very learned, and began to live lives of hundreds of years in length.
Abilities
Giving New Acquaintances a Chance - Following his own words, the Pug Lord convinces would be allies to stay around long enough for Sir Alcott to get used to them. Some of the people that Dysley once regarded poorly, became some of his more trusted allies. Once per turn, you may place 1 army on your capital city as long as the Pug Lord is alive.
Costs and Limitations
You can only have 1 Pug Lord at a time. You can only receive the aid of a Pug Lord if you have an Echo Shrine built. It costs 2 Lodestar Shards, and 2 Echo tears to receive the aid of a Pug Lord.
The Ceremonial Warlord
Commander: Dysley Alcott
During a time of cultural enlightenment for the Ancient peoples, marriage ceremonies were incredibly important functions, that were often waylaid by jealous lords and cutthroats. The elegance of weddings was then conducted by a Ceremonial Warlord, who held a very neutral position in the ruling government. His word was law, and for centuries, these wedding "Warlords" were revered for their skill in battle, and sense of justice, having been trained in schools of morality and philosophy. While their primary function has mostly been lost to time, their battle skills and practices are still used today by an elite class of soldier.
Abilities
In Defense of the Citizens - Protecting the people has been in the Warlord's code since antiquity. Although skilled at combat, the Warlord's specialty is not offensive, (after all, Dysley's predecessors were quite...ambitious), but rather defensive. Whenever a territory a Warlord is present in is being attacked, once per turn you may add +1 to a defensive dice of your choosing. If this is taking place in the capital, you may add an additional +1 to a dice of your choosing.
Evacuate the Premise, I'll handle these guys - Once per turn, you may retreat any number of armies excluding the Warlord from the territory that is being attacked to an adjacent territory. If you do so, you may add +1 for every retreated unit from that territory.
Costs and Limitations
You can only have 2 Warlords at any given time. You must have an Echo Shrine in order to enlist the aid of a Warlord. It costs 2 Naturia and 2 Echo tears and 1 army, to enlist the aid of a Warlord.
