Oreades

When choosing this faction, you must also immediately choose a Home terrain. You may not choose the Home or Starting terrain of another Faction already in play. Indicate your choice with the Shapeshifter ring. Place it over the chosen terrain type on your Transformation cycle. Use the appropriate playing pieces according to your chosen Home terrain. The following players may not choose a Faction with that type of Home terrain. During the course of the game, count the number of Spades needed to transform terrain based on your chosen Home terrain.

Ability: At the beginning of each Income phase, choose an opponent player and give them an Action marker as a Parasite marker. You cannot choose opponent players who already have Parasite markers. If all opponent players have Parasite markers, they must return Parasite markers into the general supply. And then choose an opponent player and give them a Parasite marker.

You get the same type and amount of resources that the opponent gets from their Faction board. You also get resources from your own Bonus card and Favor tiles (if any).

Stronghold: You may use the same Stronghold ability of the opponent player you chose in the current Round. It does not matter whether or not the opponent player has built the Stronghold. Furthermore, it does not matter whether or not the opponent player has already used the Special action of the Stronghold ability (if any). Immediately-and-only-once Stronghold ability is active only if you build your own Stronghold in that round.

Others: The faction board has no Incomes.

Your Home terrain does not change during the game.

The Stronghold costs 4 Workers and 4Coins.
