Hey Stas could you explain the "Drag" trait a bit better?

Tbh I think it might be the weakest debuff since it does not affect you directly. Unless there's something secretly bad about it that I don't know of c:

Give an example of Drag affecting the battle if you could

No hacks here...........just move along :3

It seems to me the players success/fail rolls affect the battle, if the Empire wins or loses. Loss/wins probably affect the story.

Drag debuff is obviously intended to have a greater impact on the battle, if you die. It's a bit of a cowardly choice, making things worse for everyone after you go, but not everyone is a hero. :P

Probably the best way to put it. The battle phase happens on two levels, the players are fighting in a larger battle with hundreds, and potentially thousands of soldiers hacking away at eachother all around them. Their individual success can affect the outcome of the battle around them. Taking drag, while making it easier on the individual level can have a very negative impact on the overall battle in case of death.

No I'm not psychic. I just know that this is dwarf fortress. and the most stupidly awesome and inexplicable thing is probably going to be the first thing to happen.

Alright sounds fair enough. Will be modifying my character sheet since I don't want to drag my comrades down.

It would be great if you could add some more debuff opinions though, pretty much everyone have about the same debuff.

I will be upgrading the traits list in the days ahead.
After the first battle is over I will revamp some things.

To label spoilers you add a = and then what you want to name it.

Not sure what you mean by that, but usually there would a commander who directs the lot of you with orders, so you don't have to worry about deciding where people go, but since there are no orders from a commander it's sort of an every man for himself situation and you just need to tell me what your character wants to do.
