I don't know how you worked this out, but it looks fantastic!  My mind can't stop thinking about how to make these guys work; both against other opponents and against themselves!  I'm not much of a chess player, but you have no idea how giddy I felt reading about the different movement patterns in "Rank and File" ;-)

Also, when is "Root: The King's Gambit Animated Series" coming out?  I need to see more of this story and artwork! ;-)

The epitome of sacrifice!  I've always thought it would be interesting to have a Root faction "tear down" instead of "build up" as the game goes along.  I think you hit the nail on the head!  I know there's been some reworkings on the Woodland Warriors Discord channel, so I can't wait to see where this faction ends up!

Great job!  I like how the faction design scales your sacrifice of warriors (permanently!) for points and actions.  I can definitely see a Marquisate general having a hissy fit after hearing that another seasoned, battle-hardened warrior was taken out by a crazy, fanatical squirrel.

Great job, ztrexel!  I really like idea of the bees swarming all over the map every turn.  Just from looking at the board, I can see myself agonizing over the sacrifices in "Order the Hive". 

The Law of Root didn't seem to mention it, but I assume you settle queens by placing their associated hives on the board?  Do you lose a queen when you lose their hive too?
