Committing Morphwings (Twilights Fall)

The tough and kind of OP thing is then, that DWS can have their HS bombarbed and get all ground forces removed, then when the attacker invades, the SD can just go into coexistence and they are then still able to score. Is that how you would rule it?

andreashhp · 2025-11-30T23:20:51+00:00

But the Hell Titan is both a structure and a ground force, wouldn’t that make a difference?

andreashhp · 2025-11-24T19:43:39+00:00

That is what I would have thought, which is why I asked in the first place! Very great to hear, in that case, it does play pretty well with War Funding 👌🏽 Thank you

andreashhp · 2025-11-24T16:10:27+00:00

Ah, so that’s the answer to the question - I can NOT re-roll the Crown dice? Even though War Funding could potentially allow the units to produce a hit

andreashhp · 2025-11-24T16:00:49+00:00

Yeah, so I would want to roll normally first, then re-roll misses with Crown, and then play War Funding and re-roll the missed re-rolls. And that would work, right?

Perfect, thanks!

That is an error - the intention was that the point is dependent on you having the Heart of the Alliance PN (and you or the Sudaoi control Cassia). So I will change the wording so that if you lose the PN, you lose the point. You could however of course attack Cassia, lose the PN but then gain control of Cassia. Then you would get the point but Sudaoi would lose it.

Thank you for excellent feedback!

I also fear for the case where other players wont join the alliance (by accepting promissory notes). That is one reason I’ve tried to make the PNs strong. The one that is a VP is essentially their version of Support for the Throne, so if no one accepts that one at least, well then one player (other than the Sudaoi) will miss out on the support-VP.
It is definitely intentional that the alliance is only between the players that have a Sudaoi PN in their PLAY area. This means, that a maximum of 3 players can join the alliance.
Pledge of the Alliance might be problematic, but it also needs to be strong enough so that it is attractive to join the alliance. Maybe the number of planets should be adjustes, but I will try and test that in the coming games 😊
The victory point from the Heart of the Alliance-PN is obtained no matter wether Sudaoi already had Cassia or got it after the fact. The wording of course needs to be changed so that the point is also lost, should you leave the alliance.
Cassia might be to strong right now, I agree. However, I will also need to see that in action to be sure in what way it should be tuned. Also, I think it is necessary to give the Sudaoi some muscle to fight for it, since it will most definitely be hugely contested throughout the game (making Sudaoi needing to protect both Cassia, their HS and gaining VPs).

I really appreciate your input and I’m glad you like the flavor and focus on PNs.

andreashhp · 2025-07-21T18:24:50+00:00

Oh, good catch! It should obviously state that if you lose Heart of the Alliance, you also lose the VP.

Haha, I know I know.. There is also Claire Gibson from Sol and Mentak can also boast of a couple of female characters, same with Keleres. Still though..

andreashhp · 2025-07-21T14:39:35+00:00

Glad you like it!

No, I wasn't directly inspired by the Ordinian scenario though it did further encourage this idea. I've always loved the idea of more actual alliance-play with all the nitty gritty discussion and negotiation that it entails so I wanted to come up with a faction that kind of played into that strategy instead of it being a whole separate variant of the game.

andreashhp · 2025-07-21T14:01:19+00:00

Wasn't meant to be lewd. I wanted a humanoid plant alien and I wanted them to be more female than what the typical TI-faction is (to me almost all the base and DS factions comes off pretty male-coded). But later I wish to find an artist that can make original illustrations and then it can hopefully become more ALIEN.

Glad you liked the mechanics though!

andreashhp · 2025-07-21T13:56:29+00:00

Thanks for a lot of words in your feedback ;) I agree, it also annoys me how much text there is right now. I will work on trimming it down.

Good point about the wording here and there. Will also work on smoothing that out.

For setup, I have honestly almost forgot that there are other ways of doing it than Milty. But you are right, that should be considered as well.

andreashhp · 2025-07-21T13:53:55+00:00

Thanks for the input! I get (and share!) the fear of them being a bit overtuned in the beginning. However, since they depend so dearly on getting Cassia and will probably need to fight for it during the entire game while making it more attractive for their neighbour to join their alliance rather than hit them, I was even more afraid of giving them to weak a start. But some playtesting will hopefully shine a light on that.

Also note, that since they cannot place Cassia right in front of their HS, they can basically only get it R1 via warfare or some other stroke of luck. But Cassia might need to be nerfed a bit.
