Two new islands. The Old Fort founds a town inside somebody else's walls, with one gateway in them and the dead standing up at a Necropolis in the far corner to march at it on a clock. The dead walk past walls rather than break them, so a wave goes round and comes in at the gate — a wall stops being a thing that is broken and becomes a thing that aims. Break the Necropolis, clear what is left, and the island is yours. The Last Ground gives four bands no town to build at all and a tide that takes the island out from under every one of them. The three rivals now play it rather than drown in it: they price a fight before they pick it, walk the mender clear of what reaches for it, and leave the water before it draws rather than after it bites. Fort Held and Last One Standing, a feat for each of the two islands. Every wall in the game stands the right way round at its corners, and the face with the battlements on it is the one pointing out. A run saved with a wave already marching loads again instead of refusing. The last ground holds its frame on an island three times the usual size, and the placement bar's plates are one size.

The Two Roads, a new island. Two roads run between two castles, both realms stand a column of the dead up every half minute and send it down them, and four towers a side decide which column arrives. Take the rival castle and the island is yours. The Long Night, Free the Band and The Two Roads each open with a lesson of their own. Three modes with no town to build and no economy to run were being learned by losing. Selecting a tower draws the ground it covers, the way a wild well already drew its mend. Both towers reach a hex less far, so where one stands decides more. A champion who has fallen carries the clock counting down to their return, in the square they fell in. On the two roads that clock is a minute at its longest rather than a hundred seconds, and felling an enemy champion stands two of the dead up where it fell. An island you have already won wears a gold seal over its picture, instead of a star small enough to miss. A captive's pen is solid ground. Bodies walk around it instead of through it. A match you have finished stops being played out behind the screen that ended it.
