Editing Tribe (section)

== Rogue-clan outposts ==

Ten hostile camps dot the valley. Pick a '''strike team''' of workers (their combined tier + gear power is your strength) and march — since v0.36.5 an outpost is a '''siege''': every one holds '''ten named defenders and a boss''' (the chief of the yard, fought last), and you duel the roster '''one bout at a time''' on a battle screen like the [[Rivals|rival raids]]. Since v0.39.0 sieges are '''deterministic''' — no bout is ever lost to a die roll. Each defender needs a fixed number of bouts to fall, set by your strike power against their score, and every bout before that last one still costs your team blood.

Your team shares a '''blood pool''' built from its bodies, experience, and gear. An '''unfinished bout costs blood, not progress''' — the same defender keeps standing until you put them down — and if the pool empties, the whole team '''routs''' into the usual strike wounds (one hour's rest; nobody ever dies). You can '''retreat''' between bouts with no harm, and going offline mid-siege quietly withdraws the team.

'''Capturing an outpost''' plants your banner on the [[Map|Valley Map]] for '''2 hours''' and always pays its listed loot. Two more rolls ride along, each independent: a '''20%''' chance at its listed {{Icon|age-catalyst}} '''Age Catalysts''', and a '''5%''' chance each at a masterwork [[Blueprints|blueprint]] sheet and a piece of era-matched armor or weapon gear, both drawn from that biome's forge patterns — the '''six deepest''' outposts additionally fold their own signature sheet (named below) into that pool. When the banner expires the outpost reverts to its clan and can be taken again, so a full sweep of all ten is a down payment, not a one-time haul — you'll be re-capturing outposts for further rolls long after.
