Somewhere, a dirigible is missing its crates. Players with access to the Upper River can help ensure that these missing goods get into the right – or the wrong – hands, by delivering them to the Constables or the Revolutionaries. At the end of the event, a new Opportunity Card will be added to the Upper River deck, offering the chance to gain Favours with the faction that has amassed the most crates.
Well, FBG knew that we’ll all turn into smugglers so we need to pick between the Constable (Master’s puppets) or Revolutionaries (photophobic bunch). Noooice!
EDIT: Hmmmm, Rev favours have a good cash in option in Jericho for those that reached The Hurlers! 2 Unlawful Devices for direct script or Rat Market for extra E and Thirsty Bombazine for Mammoth ranching!
We’ve made various adjustments to make things more profitable.
Failures on the event card checks now offer items
Check difficulties have been lowered across the board
This should bring the expected value of event participation up from the first run-through, and makes the lower bound in particular a decent chunk higher.
Maybe this time we’ll manage to oblitirate tyranny of Masters, overthrow the royal family and establish the first Soviet Socialist Republic of the Neath!
I wonder at what point should I throw in the towel for supporting the constables since it is clear that the revolutionaries are going to win? I absolutely despise the revolutionaries and everything they stand for. I don’t want a card for them, but since it is a world quality, I guess I’ll be getting one even if I supported the losing cause. It’s unfortunate that there aren’t more factionalized outcome cards instead of a single outcome card as the result of these events, but I guess that would be a much more difficult mechanic to maintain. And I do enjoy that we at least get to have these events.
No! We must stand for Light and Law! And if we are supporting a losing cause, then at least we can say we believed in something greater than ourselves! And also that we tried to get the text for the Constables winning available for the wiki to archive.

…probably not, but it’s worth the try.
I don’t like the sound of trading bad for unconscionably worse. Not one bit.
The Emancipationists and Prehistoricists have no real need of explosives, and the Liberationists must not be allowed to gain them as they will be used to harm civilians in their quest for an entirely evil outcome.
I don’t like the Revolutionaries and you two make a very good argument. But I’m too caught up at the moment with Surface issues.
BUT on the next event, I will support the Constable. They need to prove they are capable of something even if it’s to the Masters.
I prefer siding with the Constables because of the items given, but the Revolutionaries are winning. Meh, whatever, two crappy factions to me.
PSA: If you genuinely are after the Crate event’s vanity quality, consider farming (researching) for Cartographer’s hoards at the University. Selling each Cartographer’s hoard yields 625 Hinterland scrips, which allows you to boost the vanity quality by 89 times (limited by your action points).
Much better than doing those stupid card challenges which usually results in failure. You want efficiency.
Emancipationists are in direly need for explosives. “Only those Relovution is worth something which can defend itself”.
Liberationists obviously need some control of their actions, but explosives in their hands would not go amiss, either. And if they harm Masters, or Royal family, or even some bourgeoisie… well, individual terror can not bring revolution, but it can not named entirely fruitless, either.
“Step outside the lamp-light and London is an abyss of disease, poverty, despair…”
To stop this we are fighting for. Revolution will put the end thousands-years-old era of class societies and create the first Socialist societie of the Neath.
Due to human error (that’s me, I’m the human error) the event briefly closed a day earlier than announced. You’re not crazy, it did end and then I reopened it again as soon as I noticed. Sorry to all who got caught out – it will close (for good this time) later today.
The ingame icon isn’t that relevant when cut in half.
