Revenant: Reason and Faith Expansion

Description

Revenant: Reason and Faith — Expansion

Revenant: Reason and Faith adds two optional, modular systems that deepen the core game’s strategic layer without bloating complexity. The Reason module introduces Science Vessels, a new class of ship players can deploy to undertake Research. Research converts scarce resources into persistent technologies and upgrades: permanent abilities, new action options, and fleet‑wide bonuses that reward investment over immediate gain. Science Vessels are powerful but vulnerable while they study, creating tense choices between protecting your fleet and committing to long‑term advantage.

The Faith module brings Paradigms—shared ideological frameworks that force collective decisions and reshape the political landscape. Paradigms are resolved through in‑game events and votes that can divide the Great Houses, alter which actions grant Influence, and create emergent scoring conditions. These public commitments change incentives across the table, rewarding players who can read shifting loyalties and exploit the resulting opportunities.

Both modules are designed to be used independently or together. Adding Reason increases asymmetric engine-building through research tracks and persistent bonuses; adding Faith heightens interaction by creating new political levers and contested objectives. Combined, they amplify the tension between short-term survival and long-term planning, delivering fresh paths to victory and substantially boosting replayability.
