Is controlling planets really this simple?
Hey everyone,
I was playing the Arcs Blighted Reach campaign with my brother and I ended up with the Overlord as a C fate. The victory condition states that you need to control planet types matching your outrage. Everywhere else the rules talk about controlling systems and nothing separate about controlling planets, so we understood this to mean that you have to have a structure on the planet to control it.
But then we stumbled upon the line about the player having the most loyal ships controlling the system and its contents, which feels like it makes things a bit too easy?
So when controlling planets, is it just enough to have more loyal ships than anyone else in the system? And does Empire impact this in any way, if all players are still regents?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your answers, it's clear now!
