I haven't watched the preview video yet, so I hope I'm not repeating information that was already given there, but here's a bit more about the new cards from what I saw at Essen Spiel. I already posted some bits and pieces here.Tovak gets 'Instinct' (red) Move 2/Attack 2/Block 2/Influence 2, I think the advanced version is the same but with 4s instead of 2s.
Norowas gets a better healing card which lets you ready units too.
Goldyx's upgraded Crystallize is 'Crystal Joy'.
It generates crystals and can return to your hand at end of turn if you discard a non-wound card. Advanced version also lets you discard a wound card to get Crystal Joy back.Wolfhawk gets Tirelessness which gives Move and adds Move to future movement cards played that turn. She also has a modified Swiftness which gives Move 2 plus Range Attack 1 or reduce an enemy's attack by 1. Powered-up version gives Move 4 plus Ranged Attack 3. Then there's her amusingly named 'Refreshing Bath' skill: Heal 1 and take a Blue crystal (I think it was crystal, not token, but could be misremembering). She has a corresponding 'Refreshing Something Else' skill which is the same but with a White crystal. Her other skills involved more text than I could remember but some help her out if she has no units.
Of the Advanced Actions, there's a fun one called Mountain Lore which lets you move into mountains and increase your hand size that turn.
Some of the new units are great. Familiars require you to pay a mana to recruit them (in addition to their usual cost in influence). The colour you pay is placed on them and gives their ability of that colour a boost (they have one ability in each colour). Recruiting Heroes will increase your
reputation, but defeating them if they appear as monster tokens will decrease your reputation instead. I think Thugs have the opposite effect.
