About the game
With the 30 enemy cards contained in Nova Aetas Renaissance: Upgrade Kit, you can insert the many enemies of the core Nova Aetas game, the expansions, and the stretch goals into Nova Aetas Renaissance. Many missions involve the use of random enemies and scenery. Enemies can be spawned thanks to the draft cards and reinforcement points. These are particular scenic elements that modify the map, or from which one or more enemies can be deployed on the battlefield, at particular times within the missions. When this happens, you will have to form an enemy deck with all the draft cards of a faction and randomly draw the enemy to deploy. For this phase, you can insert the draft cards from the conversion kit to add variability to your games and confront a wider variety of enemies! Here is a list of the cards that you will find in the Kit divided by faction: Rome -Battle Sister -Papal Guard -Swiss Guard -Caterina Sforza -Lothar Basler -Templar -Cardinal -Blacksmith Venice -Assassin -Stratiota -Witch -Crossbowman -Giovanni del Nord -Cabalist -Traveler -Hunter Fauns -Centaur -Faun Warrior -Faun Musician Mercenary -Pigman -Circe -Head Cultist -Scarface -Obsidian Beast -Cyclop -King Vesuvio -Lady of Fire -Condottiere -Mater Ignis -Salamanders You will be able to include these enemies in all missions that feature random enemies depending on their faction. Mercenaries are a particular category of enemies that can join multiple factions. In addition to the enemies, this kit gives you access to some of the old scenic elements contained in the original game, with the following 6 cards: -Well x1 -Inn x1 -Pine x1 -House x1 -Goods crates x1 -Chart x1 —description from the publisher
