Necron Rumors: Northern Lights




The glow emanating from the northern mountain range bears the telltale energy signature of the foul Necrons. They must have something cranking out an awful lot of energy.

Campaign Notes:

The Necrons have gained a special campaign asset by spending an extra CP to "search" a mountain tile that contained a hidden asset. They have gained the "power plant" asset.

The power plant asset allows the owning player to immediately build a free stronghold in the tile where it was discovered. For 1 CP the power plant can be upgraded to the "mega weapon" asset. The mega weapon is a one-shot asset which allows the owning player to penetrate the force field protecting an enemy HQ. It can also be used creatively to accomplish other tasks, pending CM approval. It does not grant any in-game perks. It can be captured by another player but be advised that meddling with alien technology can be very hazardous!

Anticipating the most frequently asked question: "I paid for a search asset and I didn't get a power plant or anything! What gives?" Some tiles have hidden "treasure" like this one. It's just luck. However, no matter what your "search" yields it moves you closer to uncovering a useful asset. There's no such thing as a "wasted" point spent on a search!
