+**Prototyped / Partial.** Fresh Basic and Advanced previews can combine the
+original Discovery tokens and Leader Skills with selected Ecaz/Moritani,
+Ixians/Tleilaxu and CHOAM/Richese decks without requiring Nexus or independent
+Ecaz cards. Selected families need not all be seated. Original Tech requires
+three seats; Strongholds require Advanced. The native Ecaz/Moritani shared
+arrival retains its provisional storm order. Advanced actual E3/Harkonnen and
+separate Semuta, nested reactions and other interactions remain guarded or
+unfinished. Started games are not converted.
