Attitude‑Based Gameplay
Every conflict can be resolved through melee, ranged, or area attacks, or by influencing mood with cheers, charms, compliments, insults, taunts, and humiliation. Mood is highlighted as a core element that determines which approach succeeds.
The system encourages players to consider personality and strategy, as the same encounter may be won by combat or by speech depending on the crew’s attitude.
- Observe how opponents react to different mood actions to choose the most efficient resolution.
- Mix aggressive and diplomatic actions within a crew to keep options open during encounters.
