# Smuggler and Richese No-Field prototype
|
|
|
|
13 September 2026. **Prototyped**, with **Partial** rules coverage. This connects
|
|
one owned Richese No-Field shipment with Leader Skills in the CHOAM & Richese
|
|
development setup. Public expansion/module starts and publication remain gated.
|
|
|
|
**4 October native continuation:** the
|
|
[current Richese skill contract](LEADER_SKILLS_RUNTIME.md#native-richese-composition--4-october-2026)
|
|
extends original own-marker eligibility to the supported Basic or Advanced
|
|
native profiles with their distinct required CHOAM/Ix decks. A selected extra
|
|
deck no longer rejects an otherwise legal own marker; force/price/reveal and
|
|
companion arithmetic below are unchanged. Ordinary allied No-Field shipments
|
|
retain their native owner/recipient/token cancellation and Guild stages, but
|
|
do not receive an invented allied free companion. Optional overlays remain guarded.
|
|
|
|
## Source and physical contract
|
|
|
|
The [publisher CHOAM & Richese rulebook](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/CHOAM-Rulebook-low-res.pdf),
|
|
page 12, explicitly allows Richese to accompany its No-Field with the free
|
|
Smuggler force when entering an empty territory. This resolves the combination
|
|
without a new user ruling. The local source archive preserves the publisher PDF;
|
|
the original URL returned HTTP 403 during this follow-up.
|
|
|
|
The marker remains a shipment of one at its ordinary price. One separate actual
|
|
reserve force arrives alongside it for free. The hidden token keeps its value
|
|
of zero, three or five. Revealing it later adds at most that many of the reserves
|
|
then available; it does not withdraw or recreate the companion again. A zero
|
|
token can therefore accompany one real force. Without a reserve force, ordinary
|
|
No-Field shipping remains available but the Smuggler option does not.
|
|
|
|
As in [ordinary Smuggler shipping](SMUGGLER_SHIPMENT.md), eligibility requires a
|
|
living native face-up trainer and a wholly empty destination territory before
|
|
arrival. Existing friendly/enemy forces, advisors and No-Field presence count.
|
|
The checkbox is optional and starts unchecked. Omission or false preserves the
|
|
ordinary concealed-marker shipment. Guild pricing, recipient income and ally
|
|
funding use the unchanged one-marker cost.
|
|
|
|
## Connected paths
|
|
|
|
A shared public-custody quote drives validation, the private No-Field panel and
|
|
all four AI profiles. Public views display the real companion and concealed
|
|
marker separately; neither the token identity nor the internal saved proof is
|
|
disclosed to opponents. Bots can reveal a zero-valued marker before moving when
|
|
their real force is alongside it, using the existing voluntary reveal action.
|
|
|
|
New owned No-Field declarations in Leader Skills games bind the chosen token,
|
|
event, optional companion and payment to exactly one initial cancellation window
|
|
or later Advanced Guild decision, including saved card interruptions. JSON/SQLite
|
|
continuation revalidates that original declaration before action or projection.
|
|
Initial Karama cancellation preserves reserves, payment, marker history and the
|
|
ordinary shipment opportunity. The later Guild stop likewise transfers no
|
|
companion; it retains the existing consumed-opportunity behavior. Malformed or
|
|
stale declarations reject without mutating their input.
|
|
|
|
Genuine development setup now accepts the single CHOAM & Richese expansion with
|
|
Leader Skills. Page 4 adds Poison Tooth and Artillery Strike when Ix is absent,
|
|
or replaces those two when Ix is included. Deck assembly reuses their existing
|
|
physical IDs and implemented updated effects, and retains two Karama cards.
|
|
This deck prerequisite does not certify every CHOAM/Richese skill interaction.
|
|
Other audit initializers retain their existing CHOAM combination gate.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence and remaining work
|
|
|
|
Focused tests cover all token values, scarce reserves, prices, optional decline,
|
|
private projections, both pending stages, initial cancellation, saved corruption,
|
|
all four bots and physical conservation. Independent recovery review and broad
|
|
checkpoint evidence are recorded with the commit. Browser acceptance uses a
|
|
fresh genuine setup and an explicitly staged shipment boundary; other saved
|
|
games remain untouched. Targeted scenarios establish this effect, not complete
|
|
expansion acceptance or calibrated AI strategy.
|
|
|
|
Two genuine four-profile Basic/Advanced samples finished with 77/116 accepted
|
|
actions, 3/4 JSON restorations and no rejected candidates. The Advanced sample
|
|
used one companion shipment and later revealed its token; the Basic sample did
|
|
not use the new effect. Physical force and skill-card custody remained valid.
|
|
|
|
A new browser room assigned the genuinely offered Smuggler to Ein Calimar.
|
|
After a documented shipment-boundary fixture, the human chose token five and
|
|
enabled the unchecked companion option. One spice paid for a marker and one
|
|
real force; refresh restored nineteen reserves. Voluntary reveal produced six
|
|
real forces and fourteen reserves. Four spice, Crysknife and the Soo-Soo Sook
|
|
traitor remained unchanged through the final refresh.
|
|
|
|
Allied free-companion composition, Homeworlds, Nexus, Discoveries, Stronghold
|
|
Cards, Tech Tokens and other combined modes remain outside this prototype.
|
|
Smuggler battle collection has its separate native reveal/survival contract,
|
|
now including the explicit [modifier policy](SMUGGLER_BATTLE.md#provisional-modifier-policy--17-october-2026).
|
|
Other [Leader Skills material questions](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md#material-boundaries-not-settled-by-the-sources)
|
|
remain pending.
