River Roamers: Navigate the waterways and exploit river clearings to outflank opponents and maintain mobility.
-
Sunny Advocates: Rally local support, leverage political maneuvering, and shift balance across key clearings.
-
Prosperous Farmers: Neutral opportunists that cultivate resources and disrupt territory control across the board.
