NEW LEADERS

TWISTED MOTHER

“We take care of our own, here. I take care of the rest.”

• Voice Affinity: Though she isn’t aware of it, few have travelled deeper into the Voice than she has. Start with Voice units and gain early access to Voice technologies.

• Gifts of the Voice: When her burning smile is turned to you, you feel so very special. Spend influence to buff your units… at a cost.

• Tender Ministrations: Despite her afflictions, the Mother insists that all her children care for one another. Increased healing rate if adjacent to an allied unit.

• Abhorrent: Though her kindness is obvious, the Mother’s appearance and unreliable personality puts off independents. Gain less from trading pacts.

• Immaculate Delivery (Elite): Her love envelops a target, passing it safely through the Bleed to another place. Spend influence to teleport units to allied units.

HOLLOW WARLORD

“I came, I conquered, I will again.”

• Human Affinity: The Warlord is a simple man, interested in conquest, not cursed magic or alien technology. Start with Human units and gain early access to Human technologies.

• We Who Are About To Die: The adventures of the Warlord and his soldiers are told and retold in the city streets—as long as the blood keeps flowing. Every turn that your units kill or die, your cities’ loyalty increases, but otherwise decreases.

• Tales of the Hunt: The tales of the Warlord’s endless campaign spread far and wide. Attacking gives influence.

• Restless: The sharp-toothed townsfolk will not stand for idle warriors—and will not feed them either. Units in cities and outposts have increased upkeep.

• Horde Mandate (Elite): When the Warlord masses his forces for war they attack with vigor, eager to prove themselves to him. Spend influence to grant troops in a large area a bonus to attacks and movement.
