Cloudspire: The Uprising – Faction/Content Expansion Rulebook

Table of Contents

Overview

Chips from this expansion have this symbol on them so that you can easily separate them. [Expansion symbol: a small circled triangle printed on the chip.] The black market chips from this expansion can be included in your game whether or not you are playing with The Uprising faction.

The Rogue Garrison

1 – Signing Bonus. Gain the signing bonus die.

Signing Bonus Die: At the start of your turn during the Market Phase, you may roll this die. If you purchase a market chip that matches what you rolled, gain +1 CP during the Prep Phase.

[Die faces: Merc Minion; Merc Hero; Merc Spire; Equipment.]

2 – Loyalist Initiative. Immediately draw 2 market chips and place them separate from the rest of the market offerings. These market chips are considered part of the market offerings, and are refreshed at the start of each Market Phase, but may only be acquired by you.

Headquarters

1 – Almlew Infrastructure. Gain +2 CP during each Prep Phase.

2 – Advance Team. You can have up to 3 heroes in play at the same time.

Remove this advancement when completed or at the end of the wave.

1b – High Risk Op. If a minion you control defeats a hero, gain +3 CP during the next Prep Phase.

Remove this advancement when completed or at the end of the wave.

1c – Infiltration Op. After its movement, if one of your minions is adjacent to an opposing fortress gate, you may remove it from the game. If you do, choose a fortress advancement structure of an opposing faction. In the next wave, that faction cannot purchase or use any advancements in that structure.

Remove this advancement at the end of the wave.

Thieves' Den

1 – Treasure Contract. When a unit you control reveals a landmark, gain 2 Source.

Hunter: When attacking a landmark, deal +1 damage.

Reward Die: Once per wave. At the end of your turn during the Onslaught Phase, you may roll this die and place it on any active unit. If your faction defeats this unit, gain the reward shown on the die in addition to the reward on the defeated unit.

[Reward die faces: Double the unit's Source reward; 4 Source or +2 CP next wave; Relic.]

Reconstruction Labs

1 – Trade Secrets. Once per wave. During your turn in the Onslaught Phase, you may return one of your spires to your barracks and gain Source equal to half of its Source cost, rounded up.

2 – Scavenger Teams. When one of your units defeats a spire, place the last upgrade to be removed from that spire beside your barracks. When upgrading one of your spires, this upgrade may be added at no Source cost, ignoring upgrade capacity.

3 – Retrofit Workshop. Gain the spire capacity die.

Spire Capacity Die: As a build option during the Build Phase, you may roll this die and place it on one of your spires in play. This wave, that spire's upgrade capacity is increased by the rolled result. The cost of all upgrades added to this spire this wave is 2 Source each. Return this die to your fortress at the end of the wave.

[Die faces show the capacity increase as printed numbers.]

Spatial Research Station

1 – Waygate Defenses. You may construct spires on any non-path hex adjacent to a waygate.

2 – Waygate Feedback. Each waygate now deals 2 damage when retaliating.

Units

Netorut (hero)

Lookout # – At the start of your turn, you may look at any number of landmarks within # hexes of this spire. This is not considered exploring.

Hunter – When attacking a landmark, deal +1 damage.

[Promoted icon.] Build Waygate – Before or after this unit's movement, you may discard an adjacent unrevealed landmark and/or place a waygate from your barracks onto an adjacent Source well. A waygate can only be placed if it would be adjacent to path that connects to all possible marks. When this talent is used, flip this unit to its other side, removing any upgrades.

Militia Defender (minion)

Air Defense – This unit or spire can attack units with Flying.

Militia Ranger (minion)

Air Defense – This unit or spire can attack units with Flying.

# Range – This unit attacks and retaliates from up to # hexes away.

Rubble Rouser (minion)

Air Defense – This unit or spire can attack units with Flying.

Rebuilt Ruins (spire)

Upgrade Plans – The Source cost for all upgrades added to this spire is reduced by 1.

Chips

Waygate

Unstable – As a limited build option, you may flip this chip to its destroyed side. All active units adjacent to this waygate are defeated. Gain the Source reward from all opposing units defeated this way. This talent cannot be used if this is the only waygate in play or if this waygate has any units on it that have yet to deploy.

Destroyed Waygate

Desolate – This chip does not prevent an earthscape from being placed on this hex. If an earthscape is placed on this chip, remove this chip from play.

Set-Up

When you select The Uprising as your faction, place the 4 Uprising waygates beside your barracks. Place all other Uprising units and spires in your barracks. Then, create the market stack and draw from it until you have 2 minions, 1 hero, 2 spires, and 1 equipment, placing these chips in your barracks. Set aside any chip drawn that would go above these limits and shuffle them back into the market stack when finished.

During island creation, after revealing and orienting your first facedown isle, place a waygate on any hex on that isle that is adjacent to a valid path hex. Your fortress should be placed in front of you, detached from the play area.

Market

You do not pay Source when making purchases from the market. Place purchased units and spires in your barracks and purchased equipment and earthscapes beside your barracks. After the Market Phase and before the Build Phase, an additional phase called the Draft Phase occurs. During this phase, which is open to only you, you may take up to 3 turns. On each turn you may perform one of the following options:

Purchase a market chip from the offerings at no cost and refill the market as normal.
Discard and refill all market chip offerings.

Waygates

Your fortress is detached from the island and exists on the mainland. It is traveled to and from by your units using waygates. You start with 1 waygate in play and can have up to 4 total waygates over the course of a game. They are put into play through the use of Build Waygate on Netorut. Since your opponents cannot access your fortress, severing the connection to your fortress is your opponents' objective. They do this by attacking your waygates just as they would a fortress gate.

Your fortress gate health represents your connection to your fortress. Your waygates function as fortress gates and should be treated as fortress gates for all gameplay purposes. Waygates give you influence over the isle they are on.

If your fortress gate health is reduced to 0, your connection is lost. If the game does not end, turn all waygates in play to their destroyed side. When you repair your fortress gate, flip one of your destroyed waygates back to its waygate side.

When an opponent declares The Uprising as their mark and you have multiple waygates in play, they must specifically declare which waygate their mark is. If a marked waygate is destroyed, factions with that waygate as their mark must immediately choose a different mark. Their new mark may be another waygate or a different faction's fortress.

Destroyed waygates are not treated as fortress gates and cannot be interacted with.

Units and Spires

While you do not pay Source cost for market purchases, you must pay the Source cost of merc spires when you construct them, of equipment when you equip them, and of earthscapes when you place them. You must always consider merc units' Source cost to be their CP cost. This includes when you are selecting units for deployment in the Prep Phase.

Instead of placing your deployment stack on your fortress gate, deployment stacks are placed on waygates. If you have multiple waygates in play, you may divide your selected units into separate deployment stacks on each waygate. When deploying, you must deploy from your waygates in order of closest to your mark. Units on a waygate are treated the same as units in a fortress gate.

Your units may attack other units under your control but are not forced to do so. Your faction does not gain Source rewards when defeating its own units.

If this unit or spire has an attack stat of [star symbol], its attacks and retaliations are always considered successful.

Portable Gateport – Item. Before or after your hero's movement, you may spend 1 Source. If you do, your hero may either pick this item up from an adjacent hex or drop it on an adjacent non–path hex. The talents on this item cannot be used while it is possessed by a hero.

Repeater – Once per turn. After this spire attacks a unit but does not defeat it, this spire may make an additional attack.

Riftwalk – Units may move onto this chip as if it were a path hex. Units that move onto this chip are teleported to another chip with Riftwalk of the controlling faction's choice, if able. If the destination chip is currently occupied by another unit or group of units, those units are defeated. Defeating opposing grouped units this way grants the reward for only the top unit.

Scatter – Grouped only. Before or after this unit's movement, it may leave its group. If it does, place it on a valid adjacent hex and reveal the next unit in the group.

Secret Passage – When this chip is revealed, place 1 health under it. You may attack this chip to remove its health. Once its health is removed, heroes may move onto this landmark as if it were a path hex. Then, the hero's owner selects an unrevealed landmark on an adjacent isle. Swap this chip and the hero with the unrevealed landmark. When a hero moves off this landmark, place 1 health under it.

Scenario Book

Scenario Book v1.0 – Ankar's Plunder: The Introduction of the Uprising. The scenario book's story passages are flavour text and are omitted; the scenario objectives, rules, set-up, AI rules, marks and event tables are transcribed as printed. Map artwork is not reproduced: where a scenario depends on a printed map, the map's legend is transcribed and the hex letters and numbers refer to the printed map in the scenario book. Unit names followed by an asterisk () are printed that way in the scenario book, which does not define the asterisk; upgrade-chip and health-chip icons in the wave tables are described in brackets.*

Ankarian Renown

This expansion contains four solo scenarios and two co-op scenarios featuring your new Cloudspire faction. When choosing either kind of scenario, play them in the order that they appear in this book, as some circumstances in one scenario may carry over to the next. You can keep track of the renown you earn in these scenarios and add it to your overall campaign score (see the following page for more on scoring).

Your solo scenarios also feature rewards you can purchase with the renown you earn throughout your play. See the base game solo scenario book for more information on how to purchase and use renown rewards.

The renown tracking sheet (Renown Spent / Renown Earned / Renown Carryover per scenario, and Total Renown Earned / Final Score) is a blank scoring form and is not reproduced.

Solo Campaign Rank

The Cloudspire solo scenarios are best enjoyed in order so you can appreciate the story of The Joining War. As you play, challenge yourself to play your best possible game by tallying your renown and keeping track of your score. Renown spent on advantages does not reduce your score for the purposes of finding your Solo Campaign Rank. Reference the chart below for how you did!

All purchasable faction expansions for Cloudspire come with a set of 4 additional solo scenarios to play. Other gameplay expansions may include additional sets of solo scenarios, as well. For each such set of solo scenarios that you play, you can add your score from them to your score for the base game to continue to measure your success. The chart below gives you the rankings going up to 4 expansions.

Ungrouped units under your control treat water hexes as path for the purposes of movement. At the end of your turn, any unit under your control that moved through or ended its turn on a water hex is dealt 1 damage unless you spend 1 Source to avoid this damage.
Any unit on a water hex is considered to be "hidden" and cannot be attacked by spires or by units on any other terrain besides water.
As your turn during the Market Phase, you may spend any amount of Source to add an equivalent number of health chips under a waygate or destroyed waygate on Hex E.

AI Rules

The grovetenders have two separate prep stacks within their fortress gate. The Land prep stack will fully deploy before the Water prep stack deploys. Land units will only travel on path hexes. Water units will treat water hexes as path for the purpose of movement and always will choose to end their movement on a water hex if possible while following AI movement rules.

Chapter 4: Stand for Yours

Waves: 5 Opponent: Brawnen

Map legend (printed on the scenario map): A – Siege Tower; B – Waygate; C – Drilling Outpost; D – Siege Tower; E – Forsaken.

Objectives

Complete at least one objective to achieve victory. Gain 1 renown for each objective you complete.

Defeat 2 forsaken.
Defeat all 3 drilling outposts.
Construct a merc spire on each of the 3 C Hexes. Outcome: Scenario ends immediately.

Loss

Netorut is defeated.

Scenario Rules

Drilling outposts start with 7 health each. These chips are treated as upgrades that provide no benefits to the spire and require 1 or more damage to remove.
All swamp landmark minions have a health stat of 8 instead of their shown health stat.

AI Rules

The forsaken do not move or roll the forsaken die until all 3 drilling posts [sic] are defeated. They still attack as normal.
Each forsaken determines its mark before moving each turn. Their marks may therefore be different from the rest of the brawnen minions and from each other.

Marks

The Uprising: Brawnen fortress gate.
Brawnen: Closest waygate to the brawnen fortress gate.
Forsaken: Closest waygate.
Kram: Closest opposing hero.

Event Die Results

1–2: You may reduce your fortress health by 1 to either remove 1 health from all drilling outposts on C Hexes or deal 1 damage to 1 forsaken in play.
3–4: You may place a waygate on any Source well at no cost.
5–6: If you purchase an earthscape during the Market Phase this wave, you may place it during the Build Phase at no cost.

Co-Op Scenarios

Chapter 5: Laws Outside the Laws

Waves: 3 Opponent: Grovetenders, Brawnen, Narora

Map legend (printed on the scenario map): A – Lance Launcher; B – Reetall; C – Monolant; D – Waygate.

Set-Up

Include only content from the Cloudspire base game and The Uprising faction expansion. All other expansion content should be removed.
When setting up landmarks, do not add swamp landmarks nearest to each fortress gate. Instead, find the 3 gateport landmarks and place them in 3 separate stacks. Add 3 random landmarks to each stack and shuffle them separately. Use each stack to populate the landmarks for each separate island.
Before creating the market, find Londil in the market chips and remove him from the game.
The heir fortress gate can be placed in any of the 3 options shown on the map.

Objectives

Complete at least one objective to achieve victory. Gain 1 renown for each objective you complete.

Move 4 or more units onto the brawnen fortress gate.
Move 4 or more units onto the naroran fortress gate.
Move 4 or more units onto the grovetender fortress gate.

Scenario Rules

Each of the 3 islands are separate from each other and cannot be connected through earthscaping.
The brawnen, grovetender and naroran fortress gates cannot be attacked or damaged.
The Uprising and heir units may move onto opposing fortress gate hexes as if they were path hexes. When units move onto an opposing fortress gate, they are immediately removed from the game. Place their chip nearby the fortress that they moved onto to track the number that have done so. These units cannot be used for the rest of the scenario.
Unstable may only be triggered if there is a revealed gateport on another island that has either a waygate or the heir fortress gate. When The Uprising uses Unstable, immediately reveal all landmarks on that island.
Overload may not be used on gateports this scenario.

Marks

Heirs: Narora fortress gate OR brawnen fortress gate OR grovetender fortress gate. Note: The heirs can only mark a fortress gate that is connected to their fortress through path and the use of gateports.
The Uprising: Narora fortress gate OR brawnen fortress gate OR grovetender fortress gate. Note: The Uprising minions must mark the opposing fortress gate on the same island as the waygate they deploy from. Since The Uprising may have waygates on multiple islands, it may therefore have multiple marks at a time in this scenario.
Narora: Heir fortress gate > waygate closest to the naroran fortress gate.
Grovetenders: Heir fortress gate > waygate closest to the grovetender fortress gate.
Brawnen Mark: Heir fortress gate > waygate closest to the brawnen fortress gate.

Event Die Results

1–2: Add to the bottom of the brawnen deployment stack: dispatch*, dispatch*.
3–4: Add to the bottom of the naroran deployment stack: arcbright, bishop.
5–6: Add to the bottom of the grovetender deployment stack: vineherald*, vineherald*.

Wave Table

Waves 1, 2, & 3 • Heirs, Brawnen, The Uprising, Grovetenders, Narora. Event Phase: roll the event die. Income Phase: 0 Source. Market Phase: as normal. Build Phase: as normal. Prep Phase: Heirs: 5 CP; The Uprising: Unlimited; Brawnen: Battleborn*, Battleborn*, Battleborn*; Grovetenders: War Briar*, War Briar*, War Briar*; Narora: Conduit, Burnout, Drift.

Wrap-Up

The Uprising and heirs will start the next scenario with the same fortress gate health they ended this scenario with.
Note which merc units moved onto an opposing fortress this scenario, as they will be the only units available in the market next scenario.

Chapter 6: Count Me Out … In

Waves: 3 Opponent: Londil's followers

Map legend (printed on the scenario map): A – Waygate; B – Londil's Minions deployment hex; C – Londil's Heroes deployment hex; D – Londil; E – Ancient Traxxyr (facedown).

Carryover

The Uprising and heir fortress gates start this scenario with the same amount of health they had at the end of the previous scenario.
The merc units that moved onto an opposing fortress gate last scenario are the only units available in the market in this scenario. All other merc units should be set aside. These are "Londil's Minions" and "Londil's Heroes" in this scenario.

Set-Up

Include only content from the Cloudspire base game and The Uprising faction expansion. All other expansion content should be removed.
The market stack should consist of all merc spires and equipment, as well as the merc heroes and minions that moved onto an opposing fortress gate in the previous scenario.
The remaining merc units should be separated into two stacks – one for minions and another for heroes. Shuffle each of these stacks facedown and place them near the play area. These are Londil's Minions and Londil's Heroes, respectively.
When placing landmarks, only place a swamp landmark closest to the heir fortress gate. Then, create a stack of landmarks that includes the Source geyser and 9 other random landmarks. Use this stack to cover the remaining Source wells.

Objectives

Complete at least one objective to achieve victory. Gain 1 renown for each objective you complete.

Defeat Londil.
Drop Londil on a hex adjacent to the Source geyser.
Use Londil to defeat ancient traxxyr. Outcome: Scenario ends immediately.

Loss

Netorut is defeated.

Scenario Rules

When Londil is defeated, he does not grant his Source reward and is not discarded. Instead, leave him on his hex facedown. Londil is inactive while facedown. Facedown Londil can be picked up as an item by a player-controlled hero that ends its movement adjacent to Londil's chip. After moving, the hero carrying Londil may drop his chip facedown in an adjacent hex.
At the start of a round, if Londil's facedown chip is adjacent to the Source geyser, he flips over, recovers his full health, and becomes an active unit under the control of The Uprising. Londil does not count towards The Uprising's hero limit.
Waves end immediately when the last player-controlled minion is defeated OR when the last of Londil's Minions is defeated. Any other minions remain in play for the next wave.
Prowl does not trigger in this scenario.

AI Rules

While controlled by the AI, Londil does not move.
At the start of the Prep Phase, clear Hexes B and C. Then, place the deployment stacks on their respective deployment hexes. Units that have yet to deploy from their deployment hex are treated the same as units on a fortress gate.
To create the Londil's Minions deployment stack, shuffle all of the minions in the Londil's Minions stack facedown. Then, flip this entire stack faceup to create a group. Place this group on Hex B as a group with the top unit's health. Players should not have knowledge of the order of the minions in the group until they are revealed.
To create the Londil's Hero deployment stack, draw the top chip from the Londil's Hero stack created during set-up. Place it faceup on Hex C with its health.
When a Londil's Minion is defeated or discarded, place it in the Londil's Minions stack instead of the market discard. This stack becomes Londil's Minions in the following wave.

Mark

The Uprising: Any Londil's Minion. If there are multiple Londil's Minions in play, The Uprising may change its mark to a different Londil's Minion at the start of its turn.
Heirs: Any Londil's Minion. If there are multiple Londil's Minions in play, the heirs may change their mark to a different Londil's Minion at the start of their turn.
Londil's Minions: Waygate closest to Hex B.
Londil's Heroes: Heir fortress gate.

Event Die Results

Draw the top hero from the Londil's Hero stack. Roll the D6 and place this hero on any valid hex on the isle that matches the number rolled.

Wave Table

Wave 1 • The Uprising, Heirs, Londil's Followers. Event Phase: no event. Income Phase: 0 Source. Market Phase: skip. Build Phase: as normal. Prep Phase: Heirs: 4 CP; The Uprising: Unlimited; Hex B: [Londil's Minions]; Hex C: Londil's Hero.

Prep Phase: Heirs: 4 CP; The Uprising: Unlimited; Hex B: [Londil's Minions]; Hex C: Londil's Hero. Add an additional hero to the bottom of this deployment stack for each destroyed waygate in play.

No wrap-up box is printed for this scenario.

Endless Mode

The Uprising is available for you to play as or against in Endless Mode. There are a few modifications to gameplay if you do so:

If The Uprising is controlled by AI, place the following merc units in The Uprising's barracks prior to setting up the market:
- From the base game: Anarchist, Fashioner, Convict, Nomad, Elite Duelist.
- From The Uprising expansion: Kroob, Yewsel, Infiltrator, Combatant, Zerker Rebel, Omen Rider, Ankarcheologist, Fyreie, Emissary, Source Sniper.
When a merc minion controlled by The Uprising is defeated, it is returned to The Uprising's barracks instead of being discarded.
If you are playing as The Uprising, the AI minions will collectively mark the waygate that is closest to any of the 3 gateports. The AI heroes' mark is: Closest opposing spire it can damage > closest waygate.

See below for The Uprising's deployment chart when playing against the faction.
