Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony)

Jagged Earth

Loss Condition

Irreparable Damage

Track how many BLIGHT come off the Blight Card during Ravages that do 8+ Damage to the land. If that number ever exceeds players, the Invaders win.

Stage II Escalation

Seek Prime Territory

After Exploring: On each board with 4 or fewer BLIGHT, add 1 Town to a land without Town/BLIGHT. On each board with 2 or fewer BLIGHT, do so again.

Difficulty Levels

Level Name Difficulty Fear Deck Effect
1 Migratory Herders 3 10 (3/4/3) After the normal Build Step: In each land matching a Build Card, Gather 1 Town from a land not matching a Build Card. (In board/land order.)
2 More Rural Than Urban 5 11 (4/5/2) During Setup, on each board, add 1 Town to land #2 and 1 Town to the highest-numbered land without Setup symbols. During Play, when Invaders would Build 1 City in an Inland land, they instead Build 2 Town.
3 Fast Spread 6 12 (4/5/3) When making the Invader Deck, Remove 1 additional Stage I Card. (New deck order: 11-2222-33333)
4 Herds Thrive in Verdant Lands 8 12 (4/5/3) Town in lands without BLIGHT are Durable: they have +2 Health, and "Destroy Town" effects instead deal 2 Damage (to those Town only) per Town they could Destroy. ("Destroy all Town" works normally.)
5 Wave of Immigration 9 13 (4/6/3) Before the initial Explore, put the Habsburg Reminder Card under the top 5 Invader Cards. When Revealed, on each board, add 1 City to a Coastal land without City and 1 Town to the 3 Inland lands with the fewest BLIGHT.
6 Far-Flung Herds 10 14 (5/6/3) Ravages do +2 Damage (total) if any adjacent lands have Town. (This does not cause lands without Invaders to Ravage.)

Strategy

General Strategy

This Adversary is notably easier for Spirits that tend to let lots of Blight get added (e.g., Vengeance as a Burning Plague) or for Spirits that can Isolate lands (e.g., Downpour Drenches the World).

This Adversary is notably harder for Spirits that are hamstrung by Blight (e.g., Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves) or with Scenarios that involve keeping the Invaders from reaching a given place.
