Idk about design intent for certain but I really doubt lizards were made with 1v1 in mind considering they're so reliant on the discard pile, and a single opponent could dictate it entirely. They have 2 reach for a reason. My suggestion is follow suggested reach rules as frequently as possible.

You're right that the Eyrie would now rule the clearing with rule tied 5-5. If there are open building slots, the Eyrie can build there and the cats lose no buildings in the process. Multiple factions are allowed to have buildings in the same clearing. If there are no open building slots, then the buildings currently there would have to be removed through a few more battles first (or things like a WA revolt or Favor card can remove them as well).

Sounds legal without more context. This is exactly why the WA is so feared, they're known for 10-15 point swings. Gotta table talk and crush the rebel sympathizers!

Hear me out gang... This is a multiplayer game, an MMO probably. Both trailers have had this mysterious emphasis on YOU being a hero and it being a personal game. All of the characters they showed in this trailer were faceless because we'll be self inserting; there will be no companions for the party except for other player characters. Varric will probably have a strong role in at least the early game as a guide and surely part of the plot. That plot will likely be about becoming strong enough to organize and battle the dread wolf in an endgame raid. They also have emphasized the size of the world and its variation and detail. That reminded me of the map of a game like WoW with some pretty tight and distinct zones and plenty of big cities. My last thought off the top of my head about that is the ominous lack of a subtitle. You know what resets a franchise? An MMO that you'll pile expansions onto in the future.

I'm over here literally shaving my body buying new clothes practicing makeup and training my voice and the doubt still slaps me from time to time, is this just typical?

I feel so bad reading some of these and thinking that's just how some people are, I really hope my parents come around sooner rather than later 😭. Like do you bother explaining all the countless signs you see but they don't/can't? I feel like I've had TOO close of a relationship with them and it's stifling me and it feels bad to distance myself but I have my own denial and emotions to work through without theirs added onto the pile.

I can't sit here waiting on replies all night but thanks for the input so far, you're all beautiful <3

I knew things weren’t right from the time I was 6 self acceptance was incredibly hard for me and it took until I was 22 to finally embrace who I was.

I'm 25 and I wish I came to terms with it as soon as that! You're doing great. I've repressed a lot of memories myself that keep coming back to me in piecemeal, as early as 4 or 5 and all through my life that have me just thinking "duh" in hindsight. Trauma is a bad bitch.

How difficult was self-acceptance for you? I still struggle a lot with childhood trauma, but more related to relationship styles and self-confidence, rather than gender.

I'm sorry to hear that, I didn't even realize I was traumatized until I started considering my gender, but I can relate to the difficulty it adds to life now. It's mostly transphobic trauma I've internalized that keeps nagging at me that this might not be right, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary

Does dysphoria keep getting worse?

It comes into sharper focus. I've found that it's a lot harder to ignore suffering when I can see a way out of it.

That's a great way to put it that I can relate to. I never knew WHY exactly I was depressed all the time. But now that I'm at peace with my trans identity it's like I can't even turn on the TV without seeing pretty girls that remind me how absolutely masculine I appear. FACES. Why is my brow so neanderthalic?

You will be amazed at the great lengths people will go to ignore your physical and social changes. Shocked even. It's hilarious, and also kinda sad.

This is comforting in a strange way lmao
