Possible Constitutional Crisis |
I noticed a DoV and looked at how the victory mechanic works in this dynasty, out of curiosity. I noticed the following sentence in “Items” (see the rest of the rule for context): Rules that do not add an attribute are considered rules text that apply only to that item.… |

Raiding sectors |
Apparently there’s been some confusion about sector raids. The Firepower of a sector is determined by rolling X = 2DICE5; the combat roll then has to be rolled as N = DICEX. This means that Larrytheturtle barely survives their encounter with Andromeda and Larrytheturtle1 pops back into existence. |
