One of the most ferocious minions at the Easterlings' disposal, Easterling Captain uses burdens to turn twilight into skirmish power. Though similar to Easterling Army, Easterling Captain gets a bigger bonus and does not have to exert, which makes his ability much more flexible, as he may use it as long there is twilight to use. With just 2 easily gained burdens and a decent amount of twilight, the Free Peoples player may be forced to play events to keep companions from being overwhelmed, adding again to the twilight pool for Easterling Captain to use. With many burdens, his ability skyrockets, allowing for the very easy overwhelming of companions. | One of the most ferocious minions at the Easterlings' disposal, Easterling Captain uses burdens to turn twilight into skirmish power.
