By the way, this turned out to be an unexpectedly time-consuming part. But I seem to be managing.
The real challenges might be with the mechanics and balance. I hope Ples doesn't change his mind about helping with that before the release.

For now, there don't seem to be any plans that could significantly affect this.

The North Expedition; the "Japanese" Expedition, the Serberian Civil War, the Sacred Arterian War; the East-Hekkelian Expedition, survival in the territories of Western Hekkelia, Moenia, and Shafrana, the Timeskip School, and so on and so forth. So many ideas, but so little time, energy, and a terrible editor.

"Japanese" expedition
Isn't the choice obvious?
Небо – мольбы не ждёт
Небо – угроз не слышит
Небо – ведёт особый счёт
Небо – тебя найдёт

Revan, just simplify it. Even though I played D&D, the expansion always seemed too complex to me... Try to focus less on the mechanics, make them more schematic and simple, but emphasize the storyline and narrative...

In all the expeditions held on HeroesWorld, the mechanics are an order of magnitude simpler than D&D, except for the process of calculating final stats. But that is actually easy to avoid.

Not really. "Wordy" systems usually have a very specific slant that can only be called narrative with a great deal of strain. They are completely unsuitable for expeditions... well, except maybe for Axoth. Systems like FATE and FUDGE are also not an option — I've run them multiple times, but I don't recall a single case where anyone was satisfied, be it the player or the GM themselves.

If I remember correctly, there was only one battle during the last expansion. The storyline and narrative have always been key elements of the expansions; however, without the variability of events/beliefs/skills, etc., a certain degree of flavor is lost.

Okay, I won't argue much, Ple-Sen clearly understands you better than I do.

I'll just express one big wish to Revan: please minimize the tedious number crunching...

I still don't understand why players have such a strong negative reaction to samurai. Even Lyde and Tartarus weren't Japanese.

In general, Mент is right. But for a certain period of time, they were a very unbalanced faction in terms of gameplay, like a weaker version of the Visterians in every expansion, several times in a row. And as we remember, the Visterians were the most hated race during the five years of expeditions.

You have the same situation with the samurai as you had with the Nozenrots in Erathia. As others have correctly pointed out, the reason for their unpopularity is their extreme overpoweredness, not because we particularly encountered them in battle. Although, to some extent, the latter point is related to the understanding of this fact – in the same Tiarael, we didn't take one specific quest for this very reason.

That is, all the inhabitants of the current setting :(
