Actions 📖 Rules

Any Power

Action	Skill	Taken by	Rules
Tax📖 Rules	⚖️ Law	All	Gain coins equal to the town wealth; apply Taxed 1 and Uprising 1. Slumlord: coin from population, Uprising instead of Taxed. Prison: Fear from population instead of coin. Difficulty: the sum of negative statuses on the town.
Feed📖 Rules	🌱 Nature	All	Increase the town population by 1. Difficulty: current population, doubled for each prior Feed in this town this season.
Lay Roads📖 Rules	🦶 Transport	All	Add roads to the target hex. Difficulty 3, or 6 for difficult terrain.
Hold a Feast📖 Rules	♥️ Charisma	All	GM provides rooted agents with total rank equal to excess successes. Difficulty: total rank of rooted agents in the town (+1 then doubled if agents died here this or last season — GM adjusts).
Build📖 Rules	⚒️ Industry	All	Construct a new built feature in a claimed town, with any of its upgrades already installed (each adds its complexity) — pick a catalog type to create it automatically, or describe something new for the GM to build by hand. Pick one of your strongholds to add a module instead, or a wilderness hex to raise a new stronghold. Difficulty: the new complexity plus the number of existing features there.
Upgrade📖 Rules	⚒️ Industry	All	Add an upgrade to a feature in place, for 1 less difficulty than building it fresh. Pick one of its catalog upgrades to apply it automatically, or describe something new for the GM to add by hand. Difficulty: the new complexity plus the number of other features in the town. A stronghold’s modules are added with Build.
Demolish ↩️📖 Rules	⚖️ Law or ⚔️ Warfare	All	Destroy a built feature in a claimed town. Other claimants may ↩️. Difficulty 1.
Clear a Ruin📖 Rules	—	All	Remove Threat from a ruin equal to your successes past the secret difficulty (blank difficulty = the ruin’s own). At 0 Threat the GM narrates the reward and converts the ruin into a useful feature. Armies with apt skills can serve as assets.
Trade📖 Rules	🦶 Transport or ♥️ Charisma	All	Forge a trade agreement between two CLAIMED towns (ruling: unclaimed towns cannot trade — claim them first); each gains wealth equal to the NEW resources it gains access to (farms → Grain, Commercial guilds → Service, extractors/revealed hex resources — computed at apply, wealth stays registry-editable). The agreement is recorded in the trade ledger; the same route can’t be forged twice. Difficulty: each new good’s mobility short of the town distance, +2 if no single power claims both towns.
Delve📖 Rules	📖 Delve	All	Delve into a dungeon: attempt its first uncleared floor (difficulty = that floor’s; completing a floor reveals the next). Uniquely, 📖 Delve may ride alongside one other skill. Floor rewards are GM-narrated.
Levy📖 Rules	⚔️ Warfare	All	Create a rank-1 army in a claimed, non-Depopulated town (size up to population); it gains its ancestry’s bonuses and one level-up bonus of your choice. The town gains Depopulated equal to a quarter of the size, rounded down. Difficulty: the size plus the town’s Uprising.
Train📖 Rules	⚔️ Warfare	All	Rank up an army: on success, run the level-up helper (it applies the bonus table and the fee increase). Train ranks up directly and grants NO experience — experience is the post-battle asset. A Respect power gains respect = successes at apply. Difficulty: the new rank + a quarter of the size, rounded down.
Forge Armaments📖 Rules	⚒️ Industry	All	Upgrade the army’s equipment tier (+1 armor). Difficulty: the target tier + a quarter of the size, rounded down. Unique metals are critical; industrial iron is assured.
Gather Cowards📖 Rules	♥️ Charisma	All	Recover routed units from a dispersed army — the number of successes is the number of units recovered (up to the number that fled). +3 asset if you previously controlled them.
Muster📖 Rules	🦶 Transport	All	Move armies you control from their garrisons to the target hex. Rough terrain doubles the cost; roads make steps ~free (½ — the app’s unified ruling for "negated"/"halved"). Each army compares the cost to its own mobility — difficulty is the total overrun. Declared as a regarrison, the armies take a garrison on the target hex as their new one: +2 difficulty per army moving to a new garrison.
Targeted Seeking📖 Rules	👁️ Vigilance	All	Search a hex: influence detected on 1 success, hidden armies on 2, creatures/hidden objects on 3. Name one particular thing for 1 assured success against it. Cannot be resisted.
Broad Seeking📖 Rules	👁️ Vigilance	All	As Targeted Seeking but covering the hex and all surrounding hexes; detection thresholds are doubled (2/4/6). Cannot be resisted.
Cast a Ritual ↩️📖 Rules	🔮 Sorcery	All	Complete a ritual, alone or with collaborators who take a Collaborate action on your casting hex the same month. Difficulty (and rank): twice its current generic cost — each successful cast raises that cost by 2. Your declared mana is spent when you roll; the bill settles at resolution against everything pooled on the hex. Some rituals can be resisted (half difficulty).
Collaborate📖 Rules	—	All	Join another power’s action: gather your assets at a hex where theirs gathers — either town of a trade, either endpoint of a move, a ritual’s casting hex — in the same month. Your mana is spent when you roll and pools on the hex; your successes are folded in by the GM. On the wrong hex the collaboration fails and the primary is judged on their own strength.
Dispel📖 Rules	🔮 Sorcery	All	Break a permanent ritual effect. Difficulty: the original ritual’s difficulty (base generic cost × 2 — GM adjusts for a post-escalation casting). The unmaking itself is GM-adjudicated.
Duel ↩️📖 Rules	—	All	Defeat a specific character in one-on-one conflict; declare their location (wrong = action lost). Pick the power or agent you are calling out — a picked POWER gets to ↩️ — or name someone the registry does not know. Champions are a person; a city or conspiracy needs the leader named. Difficulty 1.
Negotiation ↩️📖 Rules	♥️ Charisma	All	Bring an NPC — an adversary, a rogue army, an agent — around to your way of thinking. Difficulty: usually the target’s rank, heavily modified by how far their goals align with yours. Does not apply to a player power itself, though it can elicit actions from their contacts, who may then ↩️.
