Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you for your trust! The campaign just ended and we're genuinely overwhelmed by your support. Now comes the exciting part; bringing everything to life.
So what happens next, and how do we move forward together?
Pledge Manager
We're already working on opening the pledge manager on BackerKit, and we're moving as quickly as we can to make this happen. Through the pledge manager, you'll be able to confirm your shipping address, select your preferred add-ons, and customize your pledge exactly the way you want it. We'll make sure the process is straightforward and user-friendly, so if you have any questions, I'll be here to help!
Late Pledge
We'll be opening the Late Pledge phase later this year for anyone who missed out on the campaign or wants to jump in now. For the moment, though, our priority is getting the pledge manager up and running smoothly. We want to make sure everyone can complete their surveys and add any extra items to their orders without a hitch before we open the doors to new backers.
How to follow a community-driven project?
This is a very special product for us, and one we care deeply about. Throughout the development phase, Simone Luciani and Tommaso Battista will be actively following the development of the XOs alongside the original designers, ensuring every detail matches our shared vision. We're committed to bringing you regular updates with as much relevant information as possible about the development process, playtesting results, and design decisions. You'll stay in the loop every step of the way.
A worthy Thank You!
Thank you again for your incredible trust and support.
Without this community, projects like this simply wouldn't exist. We're incredibly grateful to be part of your gaming nights, and we can't wait to see these XOs in action. Your backing means everything to us, and we promise to do everything in our power to deliver something truly special.
I'll be in touch!

Hi everyone,
With just over 24 hours remaining until the end of the Barrage: Earned Authority campaign, there's no better moment than right now to introduce you to our complete roster of Executive Officers. We're confident that these carefully selected Executive Officers will deliver countless hours of engaging gameplay and empower you to explore strategic approaches you've never even considered before.
So, without further ado, let's dive in and discover them together!
Uwe Rosenberg, designed by Theodoros Filosofos, lets you gain energy when water overflows your dams, turning excess into a continuous advantage.
Paolo Mori, designed by Mario Rossi & Federico Pinto, grants you a private reservoir in which you can move and store water, allowing you to redistribute it freely, controlling the water flows during the game.
Phil Walker-Harding, designed by Matthew Johnson, allows you to modify the construction wheel by placing a special tile on it, effectively shortening it.
Martin Wallace, designed by Dong-Dong, lets your wheel spin an additional space whenever you run out of resources after a building action. Plan carefully and speed up your wheel!
Paul Grogan, designed by Aleksanteri Karanka, gives you a special action that generates enhanced water, which is converted into extra energy. A direct way to increase the efficiency of your production.
Man VS Meeple (Ryan Schoon), designed by Benjamin Schindler, lets you replicate a technology tile from the market and integrate it into your system, allowing you to adapt to available strategy without relying on the draft.
David Turczi, designed by Mauro Marinetti, allows you to use contracts multiple times, increasing the value of each opportunity and giving you a significant boost to your economic efficiency.
Alexander Pfister, designed by Korbinian Pürckhauer, is a demolitionist! It gives you the ability to destroy your own structures through a personal action, rewarding you with some very attractive bonuses.
Tom Vasel, designed by Alex Munger, lets you gain additional workers powered by energy that effectively act as extra engineers. The more you produce, the more you can activate them, though at the cost of precious energy.
Mac Gerdts, designed by Evan Bowen & Merit, gives you the ability to build on neutral dams, rewarding you with benefits when you and others produce. This opens the floodgates to interactive strategies that reward shared control.
Antoine Bauza, designed by Alessio Belli, lets you build special turbines that increase production output, providing an additional boost to your strategies.
Vital Lacerda, designed by Giuseppe Indomenico, allows you to transform your infrastructure into a source of passive income. When other players use your conduits, you receive a portion of the energy produced.
Tomáš Holek, designed by Thorsten Bahr,will help you unlock increasingly powerful bonuses by utilizing Neutral Dams. However, this comes with careful planning, as you need to produce using different power plants.
Matthew Dunstan, designed by Greg Janson,allows you to place an engineer on the wheel when building. You'll be able to retrieve it as a free action to gain bonuses based on the wheel section it is currently located upon.
Bruno Cathala, designed by Liam O’Shea, is a proper investor! It will make you invest some coins on the wheel, but it will give you a nice advantage when they complete a full rotation! A nice solution to turn economic resources into time and strategy advantages.
Virgilio Gigli & Flaminia Brasini, designed by Vito Longo & Marco Lasorsa, grants you the ability to recover the water that naturally leaves the map. You can place the drops on your board and spend them to activate interesting effects. This way, you can convert what would normally be lost into power.
Which Executive Officer do you believe it may be your favourite? Are you already dreaming of the most powerful combination?
We'd love to hear your thoughts! Cast your vote in the poll below and share your perspective with us; we're genuinely curious to know what you think!
As always, thank you for your attention and support

Unlock powerful bonuses by utilizing neutral dams on the map.
The second one, instead, designed by Greg Janson and represented by Matthew Dunstan, allows you to place an engineer on the wheel when building. You'll be able to retrieve it as a free action to gain bonuses based on the wheel section it is currently located upon. Just like in Tzolk'in, the longer you wait, the greater the reward you'll get.

Hi everyone!
Today we're going to reveal two more XOs from Earned Authority. This brings the count up to 12 out of 16! So, without any further ado, let's take a closer look.
The first one, designed by Alessio Belli and represented by Antoine Bauza is a Turbines Specialist. Turbines are structures to be built which increase the production output whenever you generate energy, providing you an additional boost to your strategies.
The second one, designed by Giuseppe Indomenico and represented by Vital Lacerda, is a Conduit Specialist, instead! This XO will allow you to transform your infrastructure into a source of passive income. Whenever a player produces using one of your conduits, you receive a portion of the energy produced.
What's your favourite? Would you like to be a conduit or a turbines specialist? Will you prefer a boost to your own production or will you monopolize conduits infrastructure and earn some energy derived from other player's efforts?
Vote your favourite one!
I'll be back in the coming days with more XOs, stay tuned... just 4 XOs remaining to be revealed! As always, thanks for your passion and support
