Wishes

By David Spangler, in Tannhauser

We have three major blocks in this game: Union, Reich, and Matriarchy. But what I'd like to see is a fourth block centered in Polynesia, Micronesia, Australian, suotheast Asia, maybe Africa--the Unaligned Nations. Their power would be based on indigenous magic and shamanic powers and the ability to enter and call upon the powers of the Dreamtime, elemental forces, powers of nature, granted to shamanic warriors who have mastered the Vision Quest, etc. This fourth Power would represent those indigenous peoples and nations who have no desire to be colonized or gobbled up by any "Great Power" and who are using the Great War as an opportunity to break free from colonial control. Such a power would allow a fourth player and would introduce characters who's power equals those of the occult wizards of the Reich but using a more ancient, nature-based, earth-based magic. There could also be special high tech gear, adapted by third-world scientists (perhaps aided and abetted by Chinese or Indian technologists) to meet the special needs of the shamanic warriors.

Just wishing!

An Asian/Far East squad would be interesting to see.

Before a fourth faction, I'd prefer to see the current three factions sub-groups get some love... gran_risa.gif

Yeah, I would think it´s better to upgrade the existin Factions with new Heroes/Troops/Tokens, before creating a fourth (even if I would love one new too).

Maybe some more Mercenaries like Wolf or Gorgei .

Agreed

at least a few characters to exapand each squad and 1 new squad for each faction.

I would certainly like to see the existing factions and mercenaries fleshed out as a priority. The other faction I would like to see is the Golden Globe Social Club which I would view as a sort of neutral good faction. While it would lean towards the Union and to a lesser extent the Matriachy it would work to its own ends and hate the Reich. The faction speciality could follow more of a supernatural/exceptional skill theme similar to the Extraordinary League of Gentlemen. Some completely self serving characters such as Asterios (assuming this is the case ) would also be good.

From Daedalus fluff (if translated into english...) the Golden Globe Social Club is clearly aligned with Union, its leader having been entrusted with Great Britain protection by the Royal Family.

Ummm nice fluff Mr P. I am glad they seem as I imagined. God bless the King!

Got any more on them?

I'd like to see more troops and heroes for the existing factions as well. A legend (LIKE HESS) for Reich and Impy Barbicane or sir Edward Thomas for Union.

Acually Barbicane and Thomas + 2 troops would give us the Cerberus team, which would be very welcome in my book.

(this is based on fluff from daedalus and the tannhauser timeline)

Sadly no. You'll have to wait for Daedalus release to check the bits of story in it, should FFG not have scraped them like they did in Novgorod. angel.gif
