Clear wording is a nightmare! :D I'm hoping the rules overview smoothes out any issues.
I really like factions that do something weird, but in quite a streamlined way. My hope is that in a real game as these guys flex from strong to weak (if they use warriors to score points), then it would allow some negotiation of where on the board they can pop up... and if other people would "allow" altars in their clearings. Well, thats the dream anyway :/
