How do I build an outpost in Stonesaga?
Quick answer
To build an outpost, a character spends energy to place an outpost in their hex. Other characters in the same hex can contribute energy to reduce the cost. The terrain type may require specific technology icons on items. Record the outpost’s name, epoch, and overlay ID on an Outpost card.
Details
To build an outpost in Stonesaga:
- Action Initiation: A character in a hex initiates the action by spending energy (exact cost not specified in excerpts, but implied as a Day action). Other characters in the same hex may spend energy (↓) to reduce the initiating character’s energy cost.
- Terrain Requirements:
- Building over forest, wetlands, river, lake, chasm, mountain, or moraine requires specific technology icons on an item:
- 🏠 (e.g., for forest, chasm, mountain, moraine).
- 🌙 (e.g., for wetlands, river, lake).
- Plains or dried flats have no requirements.
- Building over forest, wetlands, river, lake, chasm, mountain, or moraine requires specific technology icons on an item:
- Outpost Placement: Place an outpost overlay on the hex, covering one section of the hex. This makes features in that section inaccessible.
- Recording:
- Fill out an Outpost card with the outpost’s name, epoch, category ("Village"), and status ("Active").
- Record the overlay’s ID number on the Outpost card.
Watch out: If the hex already has overlays or features, ensure the chosen section for the outpost does not conflict with existing elements. Overlays block access to covered features, so plan placement carefully.
