Thanks so much hey for your in depth look at them and figuring em out :) Actually the artwork this time around was a collaboration between myself and 2 other artists that I really wanted to work with. I'll let the illustrator behind the guard captain know your compliments :)
I'm really glad you like the election process! Since it also gives them their "objectives" each turn, play testing will be needed to see if they REQUIRE player engagement like the otters to be okay.
I haven't playtested since the warrior trade-off, you're right it might be tough for them D: only time will tell
Thanks again sparky I super really appreciate you! I think your write-up work is done now, so I hope you get a welll earned rest!
