Season 3 Nationalities for Homelands Cup

[TheLieutenant 1,545]

Hi folks, 

Been getting some requests for a complete, easy list of which models play for which nationalities in the Homelands Cup. Here is the full list of nations and their respective Players. I've also included the list of current unplayable nations at the bottom, cause I know people will be interested.

Raedland

Captains: Theron, Hammer

Mascots: Princess, Vileswarm

Players: A&G, Graves, Flint, Mallet, Colossus, Spigot

Isn't Indar currently unplayable since it only has two players available?

Those non-playable nations tell a story don't they...

Yes, my bad. Moved it now.  

[Gauntlet 605]

Eisnor looks absolutely hilarious.

Esters, Fahad, Zarola, Seenah, Stoker, Mash/Hemlocke

 

Throw fire and Snared for a couple of turns.

Then Esters pops legendary and gives Seenah and Fahad +1 damage..

[Neo_Maquiavelo 17]

Isn't Hammer from Raedland? 

Or he will change as Salt has done?

[LunarSol 204]

A whole bunch of players had their nationality changed.  It's actually mildly headscratching that with all the changes the nations aren't more evenly spread for this sort of thing.

Depends on what is coming in Season 3 I guess.

Eisnor is by far my favorite. Quaff and Zarola with Shark is also a waking nightmare.

I don't disagree.  Really, the things that struck me as odd were places where a new nation was created to... I guess mothball Sakana and Tentacles for the foreseeable future?  It's mostly that the unplayable nations don't feel like they're set up to become playable that I found odd.

Particularly odd where a nation was changed to unplayable by removing a key piece.  Might be an errata thing though.  The one that stands out right now to me is that Quaff is Eisonarn, which invalidates the Maldriven team posted above.  Actually, if that's a mistake and Salt is a mistake, that probably explains 90% of the cases that caused my concern.

[LunarSol 204]

One more discrepancy: Hammer is listed as Raed on his card, Ethraynne on this list.  In total, Salt/Quaff/Hammer need to be changed in one place or the other.

As a rookie who has signed up for the National tournament on Adepticon Sunday I'd also like to confirm that the first post on this thread is an official ruling on Hammer's Nationality as I got caught out by players suddenly changing their nationality from S2 to S3 and I don't want to buy another mini from a different Guild than I normally run.

For hilarity I'd like to point out that oSpigot and Mallet passively make Flint a 6/10"..

tbh, I kinda wish I'd picked up another LE Flint and a resin Raed team when I had the chance..

Even though it's from two different sources the ability is still the same named source so it wouldn't stack.

Really..? I thought it would as it's an affect on two different players both giving their own independent bonus rather than a token being applied directly to Flint.. 

No problem either way,  you now get the choice of covering a larger area or using vSpigot as another goal threat...

[JS 664]

I can see how Esters, Shark, Mash and Stoker are from the same region. I dont see how Zarola and Fahad can be from that same land though....

She's black? I don't see race, man.

More the association of panthers and jungles with warm tropical climates, and viking full-face helmets, heavy furs & beards and north sea fishermen with slightly colder, less tropical environments. Eisnor - the magical land where all lifestyles are possible.

Still the same named source (football legend).

[MilitaryCoo 758]

Only one team possible with no men (I say no men because it needs Hoist so they're not all female).  Looks like a fun team though...

 

Just an observation, not a criticism.

Well unless there are a lot of nations where men either don't play the sport or just don't exist then that makes sense.

I think SFG should produce separate National versions of Players.

So, even if you don't like a Player's rules or there is a conflict of Nationalities between abilities like Defensive Support, this format could have this cleaned up.

It would also give players more bang for their buck by having two completely different ways to use the same they purchased.

Nice Idea, as in theory the players interactions would be much varied when playing with a different set of players outside their normal guild especially as there are different motives behind the Homelands cup than there is in the normal league.

Alrighty, having spoken to the rest of the design team, Salt and Quaff will be errataed to match this list. 

Hammer was listed wrong, obviously, since there was no need to actually change his nationality. It has been updated now. 

 

[Pumpkin 6]

Just out of curiousity, when characters' nationalities have changed, is it for fluff or crunch reasons? Or a bit of both?

Obulus going from Ethraynnian to Figeon, for example: because you decided his background actually has more of a Figgy feel to it, or because he fits better on the Figgy team?

These are the thoughts which fill my mind at this time of night.
