Dahan Insurrection
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Expansion | Base |
| Difficulty Mod | 4 |
| Pressure Shape | Dahan scoring |
| Length | Extended (dahan scoring takes turns) |
| Key Constraint | Dahan as primary win resource |
Setup Changes
- Additional dahan tokens placed at setup.
- Dahan scoring mechanic active — killing invaders with dahan retaliation produces additional effects.
- Some dahan-related rules (dahan movement, dahan preservation) altered.
Win / Loss Condition Shift
- Win: reach specific dahan-count threshold + standard Terror flip.
- Loss: standard blight exhaustion, plus dahan-count-below-threshold loss condition in some variants.
Time Pressure Profile
Extended — dahan scoring adds turns to the “board clear” requirement. Spirit games against dahan-capturing adversaries face double-pressure.
Spirits That Shine
- Thunderspeaker — the archetype-defining fit.
- Hearth-Vigil — dahan preservation Incarna.
- Ferocious Warrior of the Lost Lands — dahan-warrior theme.
- Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves — Beast + dahan Ranging Hunt synergy.
- Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares — dahan-scaling fear cards.
Spirits That Struggle
- Heart of the Wildfire — kills dahan via blight.
- Vengeance as a Burning Plague — blight-positive; dahan are collateral.
- Volcano Looming High — destruction pattern kills dahan.
- Grinning Trickster — random effects hurt dahan population.
Adversary Combinations
| Adversary | Interaction | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| France (Plantation) | Dahan capture vs. dahan scoring = extremely brutal | Brutal |
| Russia | Settler-kill dahan mechanics conflict | Brutal |
| England | Town-heavy; dahan retaliation fires often | Favorable |
| Brandenburg-Prussia | Cities give fear-per-kill via dahan | Fair |
| Sweden | Fear-neutral; dahan kills still work | Fair |
| Habsburg Mining | Dahan mostly safe; fine | Fair |
| Scotland | Dahan-friendly | Favorable |
| Habsburg Livestock | Dahan-friendly; livestock mechanics neutral to dahan | Favorable |
Opening Rounds (Goal-Oriented)
- T1: place presence in dahan-dense lands; establish dahan-retaliation zones.
- T2: buff dahan (Thunderspeaker) or use dahan indirectly.
- T3: first dahan-retaliation kills; scoring begins.
Common Mistakes
Picking this scenario against France without a Thunderspeaker/Hearth-Vigil partner. The scenario amplifies France’s dahan-hostility.
Letting dahan die casually. The scenario rewards dahan preservation explicitly; each death is double-weighted.
Playing a damage-first spirit without dahan synergy. Fangs + Dahan Insurrection requires Beast + dahan coordination, not generic Beast play.
