While you can have moderate success without them (especially in the early games), you are unlikely to rise to greatness without hiring effectively. The Role of AdvisorsĪdvisors let you do everything better. I had hoped that this would encourage hiring a diverse council of advisors but, in reality, it just led to a lot of turns where people said "I can’t do what I want to do."Įventually I settled on the guild action system that is in the final game where you can do anything on a turn (well, anything from one guild) – no advisor needed. If you were out of explorer guild advisors, you couldn’t explore until you hired a new one or waited until winter.

There was always the nagging problem that you needed an advisor on your turn. This system evolved a bit (the advisors got special powers somewhere along the way) but stayed largely the same for the middle part of the game’s design. Around this time, the advisors became part of guilds. Each province had a hand of starting advisors and you could play one per turn to take their action. Action cards kind of worked but very soon after they became advisors as people are more interesting than things. There was a little bonus to them and they also determined action resolution. In the very early days of SeaFall, players had action cards that let them take one of the four major actions (fight, explore, trade, build).
