Open to comments and concerns. Probs a little OP'D but we can cut that down. O.T. needs a boost anyway to catch back up.

"Esther theme" is WAY too limited to warrant a new Brigade ...

Well, 40+ cards is pretty significant. However, I can't imagine how many heroes that brigade would have...

I'm very impressed Clayton.  Some (actually most) of the eunuchs are extremely bland, but that can be fixed.  There are quite a few very creative enhancements that got me thinking.  Some of the drawing is over the top, but there are some good ones mixed in.

I think a cool territory destruction card would be something like the following:

Regardless of protection, set aside all evil characters in opponent's territory.  Search opponent's discard pile for all evil characters and put them in territory.  Discard all evil characters in set aside areas.

Now, we'd have to word it some way as to prevent Nazareth abuse, but that can be done...

Or we could make the theme other civilizations such as the Arabians, Moabites, Ammonites, etc...

If we made a new good birgade, wouldn't we have to make an evil birgade too?
                                 If so, would the color be colbat blue?

evil or good?

evil or good?

Well...good...right...?

my vote would be cyan or periwinkle.

Cyan is too much like blue and periwinkle is too much like purple IMO. Peach is something unlike any other good brigade.

Well the eunuchs were just servants to the king they weren't supposed to do much so I made them rather bland instead of completely unique.

And make it peach. We don't have a peach color yet.

They were thinking of making early church tan and that would make tan and peach similar. They could just make it same color different themes like discpiles and kings.

It is ... sinister ...
