Havent gotten to play the game nor the ttrpg yet, but im eagerly studying how each faction works as me and my friends plan to play it.

Regardless, i decided to draw an armadillo in the game's style, because if i get to play the ttrpg i would like to play as one. But im a pretty bad artist, and am not sure if there is any official armadillos in any artwork. So heres my attempt on how i think one would look like!

We all wondered what the chances were or if WA did something wrong.

So WA spreaded sympathy 3 times (2+2+3) for 7 points. Then he crafted Favor of the Mice. 3 of Eyrie roosts are on mouse. Cat's keep and 2 buildings are on mouse. So 6 points. Then he used officers to spread another sympathy for 4 points. :D We are not veterans but played enough to know WA could jump far late game but didn't expect this much. Did we do anything wrong?

Here's a definitive guide on how to make art for your fan factions! You don't have to generate some AI trash for this, embrace creativity! Even if you can't draw or you think you're bad at drawing, even the simplest stickman figure would be a MILLION times better than anything an AI could ever produce. Have a nice day everyone

This is the state of a three player game last night before my (Lizards) last turn: https://imgur.com/C8I4ca3

Outcast was Mouse, and I rolled a 3 to attack and scored 4 points. I had three Rabbit/Mouse cards in hand to score another 6 points, and I crafted a Tea for the final two, bringing me to 30 for the win. The Cats went all out for a Dominance victory (blue) and would've won next turn since they controlled the corners.

However... looking at this picture this morning, I only had three Lizards in that Mouse clearing, so only should've scored three max regardless of Defenseless!

We are all pretty new to the game with Cats being their first game (I know I count it as a failure on my part I couldn't help the Birds not turmoil turn 2 and 4 to really set them back...) but all had a blast! I think the Cats player felt bad he was winning so hard out of the gate (typical Cats) so wanted to spice things up, so I scored hard my last two turns to make it close.

Played a game with Cats, Moles, Vagabond and Rats, and nobody was really able to stop me, what should the table do to take down the rats?

My dear forest gang,

as a fellow Otters enjoyer, I was wondering if Otter's export strategy could finally be viable with the approach of the new Squires & Disciples deck and the Lilypad Diaspora's froggy deck so I picked up both decks and put together a simple Excel list.
Please note: I excluded cards shared between the two decks.

S&D: Pics above show that there is no significant decrease in average card cost and the percentage of 1-cost cards is even a bit higher in the E&P deck.

Frog cards: The average card cost of frog cards is significantly lower, but can otters even craft frog cards? they don't have a frog trade post placeholder in which to put their funds.

Conclusions
Export sucks a bit less but it's still likely not competitively viable with the new S&D deck. Of course, I am definitely going to try it out.

If Otters cannot craft frog cards (as I suspect), the export strategy will be even worse against Lilypad Diaspora.
Please let me know in the comments about frog-otters crafting interaction.

Also, is anyone of you crazy enough to have already tried the Export strategy in this new meta?

Edit: Typo

I don't have homeland so I can't rank those three

*some interpretation required

For real though I’ll be at least using this to store instructions and faction boards. 14 sections would have been better so I could put instructions etc separately but this is fine - no need to flip the box upside down to dump out the faction boards
