True that. There will be some extra incentive once we get to the culture, too. |

Also, one of Thran’s suggestions got me thinking, so here’s a new / super-minion. Enjoy!
• Sunland Legion
Minion • Man
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Southron. Hunter 1. Ambush .
While you can spot another Southron, the site number of each Orc is -2.
While you can spot another hunter, each Orc gains hunter 1.
While you can spot another minion with ambush, each minion gains ambush .

Yeah, increase his cost or perhaps drop a keyword or 2.

Yeah cos you’d play an entire deck theme around that 1 huge costing event IF you get this guy out.... Not.
Besides if you want pool from ambush just use straight ambush southrons. Much easier than faffing with multi cultures to do the same thing they can already do. |

I’m still trying to decide if I already have enough Southrons (I count 13 so far), but considering the only mount I’ve done was unique, we clearly need to shore THAT up.
Oliphaunt of War
Possession • Mount
Strength +3
Bearer must be a Southron. Bearer is fierce.
If bearer is unwounded, bearer is an archer.

Combine the 3 previous comments and you have my opinion. |

Hmmm. I might be winding down with Southrons...but of course, we haven’t done any Easterlings yet, so there’s plenty of good stuff left.
Anyway, we’re not done with Southrons JUST yet. Here’s a little more on threats, which I’ve made a big theme with them instead of the original Towers blocks’ burdens (I’m saving THOSE for Easterlings ). Enjoy!
Singing and Hoarse Shouting
Event • Maneuver
Spot a Southron to add a threat (or add 3 threats if you control a site).
“At first it seemed a long way off, but it drew nearer: it was coming towards them.”
Sense of Duty
Event • Assignment
Toil 1.
Remove 3 threats to assign a minion to a companion. The Free Peoples player may discard a companion (except the Ring-bearer) to prevent this.
“‘War will make corpses of us all.’”
And yes, I intend for this to potentially work on the Ring-bearer. Too powerful? |
