Here is the Next Primer: Missions, Awards, and Progression
PRIMARY MISSIONS
Pre-game: In The Genesys Project each player
will have their own Primary Mission. This is rolled up after the table
is set up, Time of Day and any Environmental Conditions are
determined. Sitting down with your opponent exchange your faction sheets.
This will give you an idea of what your opponent can bring to the table….. just
not the list he will be bringing.
Now that you know the table and environment and your
opponent, its time for both of you to roll up your Primary Mission.
These will most likely be different from each other as both of your roll a d6
for your mission. A result of 1-5 results in the most common missions like Massacre,
Objectives, Occupy, Assassination, and Assault. In the event a 6 is rolled,
another set of missions are rolled on. These are from your list of Secondary
Missions but can sometimes be rolled for Primary Missions.
This gives you a total of 10 missions possible for you and
your opponent. With the both of you having different missions, the combinations
that are possible on the table can create some great unusual types of battles.
Once Primary Missions are determined, both you and your
opponent now create your army lists to best achieve your Primary Mission for
the circumstances you have before you.
MISSION AWARDS
The main focus of your army is to achieve your Primary
Mission and if you do so there is a Mission Award that is achieved
for doing so. Each mission that can be rolled up, even if your Primary
Mission is rolled up on the Secondary Mission Chart, has its own Mission
Award. These range from being able to create a new class for your faction,
gaining new technologies, species traits, class traits and more.
Heroes are born through gameplay: Mission
Awards may also be used to create a Hero for your faction. For that
model that was just simply amazing on the table. To do this you trade in your Mission
Award to create your Hero.
SECONDARY MISSIONS
Secondary Missions are those plans that are thrown in
at the last moment, or suddenly another vital important thing to accomplish on
the battlefield. The Secondary Missions range from Survival, Hold
Ground, Take the Field (positions), Defend Position, or if a 6 is rolled is
determined on the Primary Mission Chart.
·
Secondary Missions are not
rolled for until the end of the second Game Round.
·
Both you and your opponent share the same Secondary
Mission, meaning only one of you can achieve it.
Secondary Missions can really throw the unexpected
into your battle, but it is still your Primary Mission that gives you Mission
Award and as such should still remain your focus for the battle.
PROGRESSION POINTS
In The Genesys Project progressing through the ages
is one of it’s most distinct aspects of the game. In order to do this, you gain
Progression Points from each game you play.
To determine how many Progression Points you can get
from a game, simply use the Point Level you and your opponent decided upon. A
1,000pt game means that you can get 1,000 Progression Points from it and so on.
Determining how you gain these is easy and is based upon the
total possible Progression Points possible.
- 50% from Succeeding with your Primary Mission
- 25% Stopping your Opponent from succeeding with their Primary Mission
- 25% Winning the Secondary Mission over your opponent
In a 1,000 point game your Primary Mission would equal
500 Progression, while both Stopping your Opponent from gaining their Primary
Mission and Winning the Secondary would grant 250 Progression Points each.
Progression Points area type of resource gained from
gameplay and are used to track your movement forward through the Ages. Gather
enough and you are ready to unlock the next Age of the game. You may also spend
Progression Points to gain new Trait and Abilities for your faction.
