NEW LEADERS
PLATINUM SCION
“Money can’t get you everything. But nothing else comes close.”
Cyber Affinity: Anything shiny and tech-heavy catches the Scion’s eye. Start with Cyber units and gain early access to Cyber technologies.
The Sure Thing: Even in the apocalypse, the Scion knows the art of the deal. Pay minerals to get a larger amount back, later.
Economies of Scale: He may be superficial, but the Scion understands production lines. Unit cost is progressively reduced with each duplicate.
Just Ship It: The Scion cares not for product testing or safety, only for a quick buck. Non-hero units are produced with a random debuff.
Personal Visit (Elite): His handshake and a smile are almost as motivating as his mercurial mood. Spend influence to increase the output of all the buildings on a tile.
INFINITE COUNT
“Once more, we meet for the first time.”
Voice Affinity: Stuck halfway into the Voice, the Count is closer to it, however unwillingly. Start with Voice units and gain early access to Voice technologies.
Perfect Forever: Certain moments of death and horror seem to summon iterations of the Count. Spend influence to mark a unit which, when killed, spawns a Caitiff.
Time Out of Joint: The Count can take followers with him on his temporal wanderings - though their health is sapped. Spend influence to restore the action points and movement of a unit at the cost of their hitpoints.
Ageless Hunger: The Count’s presence is a constant drain on the lives of his people. Population growth rate is decreased, but killing enemies temporarily boosts growth.
See As I See (Elite): Others can be subjected to the Count’s disoriented atemporal experience of the world. Spend influence to reduce enemy morale over a large area.

NEW QUESTS
The Martial Ethic (Early-game): Your troops are slipping into Karro’s cult-run cage fights to win “the Quakecaller,” a fault-shattering device—do you back a true champion, or shut the ring down?
Storm of Storms (Mid-game): A fallen Acrin ship is gutted by Apolline’s scavengers—its stolen terraforming core now births a city-bound superstorm; will you break the weather, or bend it?
City in the Clouds (Late-game): A disc-city punches your skyline, then vanishes into overcast—soldiers brawling on its rooftops as it fell; can you track the flying metropolis and claim its loyalties before it claims yours?
Becoming Unbound (Infinite Count): A book falls—and time wrenches you loose; siphon seconds from your council to stand, then choose your thread—kings or poets—before the next pull chooses for you.
Touch The Sky (Platinum Scion): Daed Phinnicus’s holomemo brands you a failson before the board; you counter with a vow to carve your face into the sun—can you turn humiliation into legacy?
