# Community-Posts in r/Ninelands (Entwürfe)

Drei eigene Posts zum Go-live, kurz nacheinander: How to play und Go-live anheften. Am selben Tag die App
installieren – das legt sofort den Tagespost #1 an. Bilder erzeugen: `npm run capture:community` →
`dist/marketing/community/` (1080 × 1350, Werte aus Engine und `src/shared/look.ts`). Video für Post 3:
`npm run capture:trailer` → `dist/marketing/trailer.mp4`.

## 1 – How to play (Bildpost: `how-to-play.png`)

Titel: `How to play Ninelands`

```text
Every day at 00:01 UTC a new 9×9 map appears as a post here. Everyone plays the same map.

**Goal:** earn gold and rule the nine lands.

- **Castle** (free, once): claims up to 5 cells in straight lines.
- **Farmer** (free): claims the 8 cells around it, inside its own land. Must border your domain.
- **Knight** (10 gold): 2 cells straight, stays in its land, pays double.
- **Bishop** (15 gold): 2 cells diagonally, also across borders.

Each piece earns gold for the cell it stands on: ore and herbs 20, pasture 5 (7 in a land with a lake). Nothing can
be built on claimed land, so plan where you build. You rule a land when you hold at least half of it.

**Stars:** ★ reach the gold goal, ★ rule the lands goal, ★ both in one game.
**Law of the day:** each map has one special rule, e.g. "Costly knights".
**End game:** when no move earns gold anymore, end the game to keep your gold.

Only your **first game** counts for the leaderboard. After that you can practice. Play daily for a 🔥 streak;
yesterday's winner wears the 👑 flair.
```

## 2 – Factions & realms (Bildpost: `realms.png`)

Titel: `Choose your faction: Kingdom, Orcs and Pirates`

```text
Your realm, your look. Tap 🎨 Realm on the daily post:

- **Colours**: red, cyan, green and purple, free for everyone
- **Factions**: Kingdom, Orcs (20 ★), Pirates (40 ★)
- **Boards**: Autumn (3-day streak), Winter (7), Night (14)
- **Banners**: a new one every 10 stars
- **Winterfest** (Dec 1 to Jan 6): snowy board and snowflake banner for everyone

Same rules for all. It's just about looking good while you win. Which faction are you playing?
```

## 3 – Go-live (Bildpost: `vimeo-cover.png`, Video als Link)

In r/Ninelands sind Video-Posts aus (so gewollt). Deshalb das Cover als Bild und den Vimeo-Link zum Trailer in den Text
(oder `fallback.gif` aus `npm run capture` als bewegtes Bild).

Titel: `Ninelands is live: a new 9×9 map every day`

```text
Ninelands is a small strategy game I've been building, and now there's a daily version right here on Reddit.

Every day: one new map, one leaderboard, one first try. Play it in the daily post, compare your realm in the
comments, keep your streak going.

Today's map is #1. Good luck, rulers!

New here? Read "How to play" (pinned). Bugs, ideas or feedback: comment below.

Hinweise: Kosten in Post 1 sind die normalen (einzelne Gesetze ändern sie). Alle englischen Texte in der Ich-Form und ohne lange
Gedankenstriche (Entscheidung Besitzer 2026-11-14). Ändern sich Kosten oder Freischaltungen, Bilder neu erzeugen und Texte
anpassen.

Entscheidung Besitzer (2026-11-13): **keine Post-Flairs** in r/Ninelands, auch nicht für die Tagesposts. Die drei
Posts wurden im Test-Subreddit ausprobiert und passen so.
