As far as I know, each Root game requires at least 2 militant factions. When this requirement is not met, the balance of the game shatters completely (from my experience, the only militant faction gets an easy win or the many insurgent faction play without any interaction and only "out-engine" each other).
I have a problem with that rule, as I often play with only two people in total, so we are requierd to play the 5 militact factions I have right now.
Is there any way to be able to play a game with LESS than 2 militant (player) factions that is still balanced? I miss all those insurgents!
I know there is the clockwork expansion. I myself have the mechanical marquise. But: Is this a good way to solve this? And is there a different way?
Is there an unofficial solution to the 2 militants problem I've presented?
Thank you for your help!
