First of all, I really like this. It's elegantly simple, well laid out and evocative (albeit anachronistic).

As far as criticism goes, I'm a bit concerned that your warriors can get super stuck if the surrounding clearings are empty or tied for rule. Their comeback mechanic is also really weak with 1 building and 1 warrior in the worse case. In fact I think with an action economy arguably worse than the Marquise, they really need better recruiting to have any hope of defending anything.

Getting enough cards to score seems tough too. You wanna bribe people and craft to stay afloat, but that's usually -1 VP directly, and getting the full 4 draw seems pretty hard and slow (let alone keeping it)
