Correct, there are tree types of actions (basic, advanced and special which is revealed in the locked off part of the game).
Whcih of the 4 types of intent you select matters because when you chose the correct one you get +Power or you lose one power. If the power of your character drops below zero. That triggers the emotional state of worry which restricts the available intents for the next turn to Defend only. You play a mini game and if successful the worry is removed and the restrictions are lifted.
I'm still developing the system - there's a lot more to do. I'm participating in the jam in the hope of getting some feedback. I don't care about the competition. And I try to make the game useful in more than one way - hence you get the historical setting. I hope you found the history interesting at least.
I wish you a bright day
