I’m hoping someone else can help out reviewing these. Not like your reviews havent been good. I’ll add some limits to those cards.

Aggressive does mean skirmish first.

Backsword is a kind of sword... I believe. It is in the Two Towers game... and I thought ’sword’ or ’blade’ was getting a little bland.

’Twisted Words’ is like how Durza tries to seduce Eragon into joining Galbatorix, and also tries to trick him into revealing his true name.

I changed teeming masses to give it a sort of limit.

Aggressive. Captain.
Each time a companion is placed in the dead pile, you may exert this minion to exert a companion.
Skirmish: Remove a threat and spot X sites you control to make an [empire] minion strength +X (limit +5).
1R101

That skirmish ability is strong... maybe make it remove 2 threats, or add an exertion.

Powerful... probably balanced though.

Drop enduring and he’s cool.

At the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may exert it to make it strength +1 (limit 5) and damage +1 (limit 3) for each site you control.
1U106

Yikes!!! That damage bonus is really powerful, especially for such a cheap minion. The limit on strength can also be dropped, as 5 sites is a lot of sites to control (and 7 sites is the maximum amount of sites you can control). Maybe if it was like this:

At the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may exert it to make it strength +1 for each site you control (and damage +1 if you control 3 sites).

Nice - maybe spot 2 Empire minions? Smile

By the way, I counted 3 cards that spot/remove threats, and only 1 card that adds them. You might want to change a card or 2 to add more threats; for example, Enlisted Worker would be great if he could add 2 threats instead of controlling a site (you could even allow the Shadow player to choose which one to do, and drop his vitality to 1).

Might have missed something in your cards, but if not, it should probably be worded "...you may exert a companion in that skirmish."

Interesting. You could almost play this like an event if the site is already controlled when you play it. I like that. Adds a unique flavor to the card.

However, I think it should probably cost

, at least.

The card’s balanced and all. Might want to reword it "the minion archery total is +1", though.

I’d have to take a closer look at other spells, but it seems okay. Make it cost

, though.

Overall, looking good. I’ll go back and take a look at your last batch if I have some time later.

Cool. Thanks for the reviews, gp for that.

I’ll make the wording changes and such.

And by the way, I haven’t made many spells yet. Most of those are coming in the elven culture.
