## Description
If you enjoyed the chaos of Cry Havoc and felt it needed an extra kick, get ready! Aftermath arrives to supercharge your base game with a host of new features that will make you rethink your tactics. This expansion injects a massive dose of replayability, nearly doubling the unique skill options for each faction. There are five new skills and three brand-new structures per race, opening up a spectrum of strategies that will leave anyone scratching their heads (in a good way, of course!).

And it doesn't stop there! For those who like more control over game length, Aftermath introduces an alternate mode that guarantees five full rounds, no messing around. This means the game will have a more predictable pace, and you can plan your moves with more confidence, knowing exactly how much time you have to execute your galactic domination. Furthermore, the scoring rules have been expanded: instead of simply discarding event tokens, they now introduce new ways to accumulate victory points. This adds an extra layer of decision-making and opportunities to turn the tables at the last minute. If you're looking for more depth, more options, and more 'wow!' in your Cry Havoc, this expansion is a feast. Prepare for an even more intense and surprising intergalactic war!

## How to Play
Objective of the Game
Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.

Preparation (Setup)

    Shuffle all Event tokens from the base game and Aftermath together.
    Shuffle the Scoring cards together and place them in a face-down pile near the board.
    When separating Terrain Tactics, include the Aftermath cards before shuffling.
    Instead of using the base Faction board, players choose which Faction they want to play and draw 1 Leader from this Faction.
    Players shuffle the Default skills from the base game and Aftermath, then draw one at random to use for this game.
    Players then shuffle all non-default skills from both sets together and draw the appropriate number of Skills. All unused skills are returned to the box.
    Players choose 3 Structures (5 for Machines) from all structures available to their faction from the base game and Aftermath expansion.
    Place the 3 Universal Structures and the matching tokens near the board. These Structures are available to all players.
    If you use the back side of a Leader board, use a connector tile and place your Structures on the left instead of the right side. Consequently, place your Skill cards on the right side.


Fluxo do Jogo
The game now lasts for 5 Rounds with one Event each Round. If a player moves their score marker past an Event, do not move the passed event. At the start of each Round, simply reveal the next Event token and resolve it. When an Event instructs you to draw a Scoring card, reveal the top card of the Scoring deck and resolve it.

Ações e Como Jogar
Building Universal Structures
Using the standard Build Action, players may build a Universal Structure as long as there are Structure tokens remaining for the Structure they wish to build.
Universal Structures are controlled by the Faction which currently controls the Region. If a Player loses control of a Region with a Universal Structure, the Structure remains and the new controlling Player now may use this Structure.

Dicas para Vencer

    When playing as Machines, consider using ADDITIONAL PROCESSORS to gain an extra action after all normal player actions have been completed, potentially allowing for more strategic moves.
    If you are a Pilgrim player, the HIVE MIND Structure can be very powerful as it allows you to choose any Pilgrim skill, even those removed during setup, offering great flexibility in adapting to the game state.
    When using the TURBO HARVESTER Structure, remember that its cost increases with each use, but it also provides more Crystals. Plan your activations to maximize Crystal gain while managing the escalating cost.
