Add a new dynastic rule, called “Overland Navigation”, to the dynastic ruleset:
The Great Machine always has Surroundings and can also have a Destination; both of which are different publicly-tracked text strings from the list of Locations below. As a Daily Action Machinists in the System of Control may give the Great Machine a new Destination or change its Destination.
Locations:
* Dead city
* Snowdrifts
* Ice plains
In the step of Passing Time which refers to increasing or adding Damaged Parts, replace the period with:
; do this twice if the Great Machine lacks a Destination.
the Great Machine must always keep moving. if it isn’t in Motion, the cold seeps in, and things start to break down.
adds just under 400 characters. eventually i think we could have more locations, give them effects, maybe make it more difficult or costly to change the Destination, and/or implement a system of travel progress/speed that ties into the System of Motion!
