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 :)
