Walls2——Armies outside cannot declare battle on armies inside until they have spent a full month in the location. Adds a Walls goal in battles — thresholds 2/2 wooden (complexity 2), 2/4 stone (complexity 4), 2/6 layered (complexity 7).
Stronghold6——Wilderness refuge: stone-wall protection, garrison for 1 army, comfortable housing for 1 agent. Built with a secret protection intruders must overcome — contents are safe from subtle targeting and outside influence, and actions taken here are Private. Modules (Barracks, Apartments, Mana Gardens, Tower, Spell/Alchemical Laboratory, Labyrinth) are added one per Build on the stronghold, at complexity 3 plus 3 for each module already built. Upkeep 2 coin +1 per module each Tidings, or it fails and may be captured. Complexity 6, Stone.
Outpost1——A well-hidden structure, much smaller than a town. Garrisoned armies stay invisible on the map while inside. At Tidings, a conspiracy’s influence in each of its outposts resets to a minimum of 3. Outposts belong in the wilderness — building one IN a town wants the Urban Outposts perk, and a new wilderness outpost normally comes from More Outposts rather than a Build. Complexity 1.
