Unit Actions
Immolate
- when a unit immolates they have an opportunity to deal damage to a single unit
- damage dealt is equal to damage at max health multiplied by flame bonuses
- they are destroyed immediately afterwards
- if a unit immolates but takes no action afterwards they disband next turn and return stars like normal
- they do not return any stars if they act on the turn they immolate
Blessing

Tile Actions
Eruption

- causes mountain to erupt, turning all forests and empty fields around the mountain into farmland
Buildings
Bathhouse
- costs 5 stars to build
- must be built next to a mountain
- you can have no more than one bathhouse in every city
- provides 2 population
- heals 2 hp to every unit within a 3x3 area
- whenever a unit gets healed or promoted during your turn, every bathhouse will level up
- at the end of your turn every bathhouse produces stars equal to their level divided by 4
- bathhouses reset to level 0 at the start of your turn
Tiles
The Four Flames
If the Tūrzu appear in a game 4 flames will spawn on random tiles on the map, but they will each be within their own quadrant of that map so they won’t spawn close to each other. There will be one flame for each terrain type, one on a mountain, one on a field, one in a forest, and one in the ocean. The Tūrzu can capture them, and once captured they will each increase the attack power of immolation by +0.20x and produce 1 star per turn (maximum of 12) for every bathhouse you have built.
For further clarification: without any flames immolation will deal the same damage a troop would normally deal at max health, but with each flame it increases as so:
1 flame: 1.2x damage
2 flames: 1.4x damage
3 flames: 1.6x damage
4 flames: 1.8x damage
Tasks
Ignite
- replaces the pacifist task
- to complete it you must find and capture all 4 flames
Spawn Rates
Increased forests, fruit and metal. Force spawns a mountain next to every village in their territory if the map generation doesn’t provide one.
