Comments:
Many people have been requesting for a character that has a unique winning condition, other than surviving or killing everyone. The Exile’s winning condition is unique as he needs to survive as a KING by the end of the game. Although it might seem unfair as compared to neutral characters that merely need to survive such as alchemist, the compromise is that the Exiled, once becoming Tyrant, has such a great impact on the direction of the game. Enslave is a very strong skill as it can cause the death of a character of his choice. However, the fact that there is another target getting imprisoned would warn the court of the fact that the Exiled is in court and might result in a warier court. Into the shadows can be a clutch skill to prevent your true identity as a neutral character from being detected by the Blue Dragon faction and the King, and could save your life if an attempt is made. Dethrone is an important skill to prevent games where the original king survives for very long, and hence causes the Exiled to not have a chance at becoming the King. However, if Dethrone fails, the Exiled would have to find alternate ways to slay the King. Through noble blood, it is an easy feat to becoming a King, especially as currently Blue Dragons with noble blood usually do not attempt to contest the throne (from my games at least). This mechanic force contest of the throne, as a Tyrant on the throne would be a disadvantage for both factions. Once the Tyrant is on the throne, he has the ability to significantly swing the tides of the game. He can choose to decimate one side and win with the other side, or destroy both factions at the same time.
