From the immigration of enslaved Filipinos to that of formerly Jewish families forbidden to travel to the colonies, hidden histories are emerging. The results, reported at a meeting here this week and in a preprint, tell stories of Latin America that have been largely forgotten or were never recorded in historical documents. Aided by sophisticated statistics and worldwide genetic databases, they can tease apart ancestry and population mixing with more nuance than ever before. Historical documents describe this cultural mixture, but now international teams of researchers are enriching our view by analyzing the genomes of people today. All these populations met and mingled for the first time in colonial Latin America. Asians, who traveled to Mexico on Spanish galleons, some by choice and some in bondage. Africans, both enslaved and free, some of whom had been among the first conquistadors. Indigenous people from around the Americas, including soldiers who had joined the Spanish cause. This guide is an evolving article which will change periodically, depending on balancing card changes or a change in my thought process after playing more with the cards.Este artículo está disponible en español.ĪUSTIN-If you walked the cobblestone streets and bustling markets of 16th and 17th century Mexico City, you would see people born all over the world: Spanish settlers on their way to mass at the cathedral built atop Aztec ruins. I personally enjoy the tribe and have come to appreciate them through studying them. In addition the Alignment also represents a lot of the cost mechanic Sustain ( read more here) to help offset some of the tremendous strengths of the tribe. The Ravagers are also a combo oriented tribe, however they do not necessarily need to rely on combos in order to maintain their strategies.
The only thing the alignment specifically lacks is a dedicated draw engine having to rely on Class/Faction cards to fill these needs. They have a great blend of aggressive and defensive allies, ability damage, attack boosters, a variety of item/ability destruction and even negative effects removal. The Ravager are possibly one of the most complete Alignments in Shadow Era. Homunculus having access to all the different types of combat damage really makes me appreciate the Frankenstein approach of the tribe much more. Homunculus decks are generally ally heavy and very reliant on items and attachments specifically, with a splash of other abilities here and there.
The neutral side appear to be all over the place but provide some additional choices for both the human/shadow builds. The human side appears to be a wisp (no real synergy), electric theme and a combination of temporary and actual growth. So far the shadow side of the tribe revolves around discarding from the hand and exiling from any graveyards to manipulate the board and receives one or more bonuses from doing so. Essentially the tribe is using “pieces” from your hand and “parts” from graveyards to grow your allies. Then growing and augmenting them.Īs I look over the tribe in general and read the wiki about what the alignment is, I can’t help but think of the Frankenstein monster. Lore: The Homunculus alignment is tied together by the idea of created allies, usually with some elemental (fire, ice, electrical) theme or being created from other allies. They seem to have a wide range of effects, some involving the graveyard, attachments, and attack/health increasing. This type of ally are made up of creatures which have been artificially created by their specific faction (they have members on both the Human and Shadow sides). They were introduced in Dark Prophecies, with further support in Shattered Fates. Homunculus is a tribe of allies in Shadow Era.
