Simple, straightforward, and to the point, but in such a way that really affects the plans of everyone around the table; well done!
Looks pretty cool! Does the faction get a benefit for activating waves, or is it more to slow down other players? There are a few things that I think need a little more clarification on the board. Like when you build do you need to rule the clearing or just have warriors in it? Do they score points each time they place an egg clump building, sort of like the cats?
They might also need a comeback mechanism or another way to recruit. As it is they can only recruit by removing egg clumps, but then when they remove egg clumps that means that they can't build as much that turn. I could see them getting stronger and stronger as the game goes on, but I worry that if they get attacked early it would be hard for them to recover.
I love the art too! Well done :)
Really happy to see your artwork for these guys! And your first two abilities seem really though out and themetic as well! My heart just aches for the poor cats with that third ability haha
One thing that might be really cool is a way to use the cards in your hand for more than just needing to lose them for an action where a flood doesn't exist. All the official factions have their own little interactions with the cards that sets them apart. Even something like say spending a card to wash a flood over to a crucial clearing might be really fun!
You've got a lot of design space to keep working with here :)
