At least one design needs to be a badass combat unit. This could be either the Red Dwarf or the queen.

Now, does the Red Dwarf contain a metacrystal core? The design doesn't mention it. But Fallacy said that designs using the new elemental rules pretty much don't work without one (unless nature).
So I really think it should be mentioned in the design that the dwarf has one. Even then, I am not sure the extra complexity from having a metacrystal core unit will be worth it. That said, if no one else votes for the queen I'll support the Dwarf.

About the King, I really would like to gain menagerie units from next turn onward. If we go dwarf/queen plus cannibal, we can't really do that (and in fact they might be the only ones getting menagerie units).

The wovenmen, compromised
This is like woven-men, but human sacrifice starts to happen just a little less often. The tradition isn't completely abandoned and in some cases people start to volunteer for it.

King
The King is a humanoid construct made of durable metacrystal. Colored according to the color of the faction it belongs to. It moves at a slow walk, and can communicate out to the entire battlefield. It has a very complex intelligence allowing it to coordinate high level strategy with other intelligent constructs and share information among them, usually delegating the coordination of local tactics to them. It is specialized in negotiating with extradimensional beings.
Only one King exists at a time. It always attempts to stay far away from the frontlines and is extremely resistant to ranged attacks and magic.

Queen
The Queen is a humanoid construct made of extremely durable metacrystal. Colored according to the color of the faction it belongs to. It moves at great speed and may communicate at short to moderate distances. Complex intelligence, may direct other constructs and share information. Armed with a metacrystal great spear that deals a thundering shock with every blow, which will stun even the mightiest foes. Less mighty foes will be slain outright.
A pawn that has shown great valor in combat may be rebuilt to become a queen.

Okay so I misunderstood what Fallacy was going for with this game, rendering the Menagerie borderline useless for now. Whoops.
After rereading the rules for the Menagerie I think that it could start to pay off pretty quickly, because it seems we're allowed to do an additional design on top of the two designs we normally get:
Quote
Mechanically, each faction may make one Mercenary Request per Design Phase to one Mercenary faction, of which there is currently only the Menagerie.

Fortunately Blue also did a Shift that lets us design more interesting things. We should probably do one logistical design and one that makes use of the new elements. We probably shouldn’t even bother to ask for mercenaries this turn.
I am not convinced that any design using the new elements necessarily yields better results for us. It will increase the difficulty of the roll in return for uncertain gains, see the new rules for designs:

Quote
(NEW) Designs may also incorporate one or more of the Core Elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Electricity, and Natura. Designs utilizing the Core Elements tend to be more complex and difficult to create than metacrystal-only designs, and while the creation of lifeforms using Natura is entirely possible, such lifeforms will need sustenance. Natura also resists the other Core Elements being used in the same Design as it, though it will tolerate metacrystal.
It will be extremely difficult to create an animate construct utilizing the Core Elements that is not either wholly biological using Natura, or possessing of a metacrystal core.

Less useful in the short term, but better in the long term.

I think a queen could serve as both a heavy combat unit as well as a complex intelligent negotiator?

In

Minor nitpick, I would prefer the original numbering for ability grades, where I is weakest and IV is strongest. Seems more intuitive.

How strict is the rule about not quoting chats? Should we just avoid literal quotes, can you mention that you're in a chat with someone for instance? Can you say that you're sure that Johnny is a demon because of "something he said in a private chat with me"?

Also, Quarque's collected and sensible town game in the last BYOR did him no favours this time - it sets a pretty high standard of play to imitate as scum.
The irony is, I was honestly just trying to find the thief asap and there was nothing fake about my case on CM D1. Only 24h to figure stuff out and due to timezones I had no time at all for deeper inquiry.
I also genuinely did believe that an instant miller claim isn't Imps style of scumplay, or wasn't before I said this at least.
But yeah trying too hard to play like town got me nailed, lol.

Oh, by the way, if you were wondering...I just straight-up forgot Crymea had claimed a double vote! I forget things. After I self-voted I figured you'd all go into the next day on equal footing.
Omg.. and I was thinking it was a brilliant move done on purpose, because an early hammer was exactly what town needed to defeat Crystals double vote.
