Clash of Civilizations

Prologue

My initial thought process from this set came from my submission to the March CCL Top 6:
Battlefront Commander
Creature - Human Soldier (R)
Whenever a player casts a creature spell with mana value 2 or less, they get a triumph counter.
Other creatures you control get +1/+1 for each player with fewer triumph counters than you.
2/2
The idea of growing your number of counters and competing over them with your opponents got me started thinking about other types of games, which led me to the idea of a set inspired by 4X games. For those who aren't familiar, 4X games, like Sid Meier's Civilization, are based around building an empire and increasing its power over time. The term "4X" is a bit of a pun enumerating the four basic phases of the game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate). This set will intend to capture the feeling of building out an empire over time (and, to a lesser extent, competing with your opponents over resources) using high-synergy mechanics that build towards a powerful endgame.

Mechanics
Show
Hide
All of the mechanics will be in all five colors, but certain archetypes will concentrate on them more.
Triumph counters: Cards that give each player triumph counters for performing certain actions and then reward you for having more than your opponents.
Explore: Seems like an obvious fit to capture the exploration component of 4X games. Only been used once, so plenty of ways to riff on it.
Research: An enchantment subtype, kind of like classes/sagas that progress to more powerful effects. Still working on this because previous versions had the research and triumph counter mechanics stepping on each others' toes. Current version: kind of like level up creatures on enchantments, with triggered abilities when you "study."
Conquest: An ability word that scales effects with the number of creatures that dealt damage to an opponent this turn.
Marvels: A cycle of legendary artifacts that each give an alternate win condition.
Flip cities: Trying out a new mechanic because I feel like I was missing something that represented founding cities, which is a pretty important part of many 4X games. These are going to be lands are "normal" on the front and can flip to the back if you tap a creature of the right color. The plan is to have 1 common land (colorless), 5 uncommon (monocolored), and 10 rare (two-colored).

Flavor
Show
Hide
10 empires, based loosely on historical civilizations, that are rapidly expanding and vying for resources. Definitely more of a bottom up set, so the flavor is going to mostly going to come organically out of the idea of expansion and competition.
Writing some stingers for each empire, just to give a sense of the aesthetic. Starting them in no particular order:
Empac: Far in the background dark mountains loom, some of which pour out thick, glowing lava. In the foreground, black-robed priests -- a mix of humans and scorpionfolk (called deathttails) -- surround a bound captive, preparing for a living sacrifice. Underfoot, devils screech with glee, while behind the priests is a ring of giant stone heads, depicting a variety of demons and horrors.
Makum: Looking out from the edge of the city, all you can see is harsh sunlight reflecting off bright, hot sand. In the sky above, aven patrols wheel, looking for intruders. Behind you, your vision is dominated by tall buildings that surround shadowed courtyards. Beneath the courtyards are even darker dungeons, where the sultan's deathtail servants extract secrets from his enemies.
Lyphia: A band of mercenaries makes camp in a peaceful hillside meadow. All around them, the tall grass waves in a gusty wind, still cold after winding its way through the tall mountain peaks. One of the mercenaries, in the midst of regaling his companions with tales of valor, suddenly gurgles and slumps over, an arrow protruding from his chest. From out of the treeline, a band of screaming attackers descend upon the shocked mercenaries before they can even reach for their weapons. Those who try to stand and fight are trampled under the sharp hooves of the centaurs, while those who flee are picked off elemental-riding devils, their teeth as sharp as their arrowheads.
Leutz: A large wooden ship sails into harbor. Zombies file up the gangplank and begin unloading barrels and boxes onto the causeway, all under the watchful eye of the merfolk captain. Whether she traded for these goods or stole them, she's determined to make the maximum possible profit on them now. In narrow streets of the city, merchants hawk wares from across the globe, many of them collected under the direction of the Merchants' Confederation, a group of investment partners that has accumulated so much wealth that its search for new markets and raw materials now dictates the military activities of the empire.
Lagesh: At the junction of two rivers sits a massive city, its steep sandstone walls rising from the banks to survey the surrounding farmland. Beneath the hot sun, loxodon laborers work to dig irrigation canals or assemble enormous monuments, all financed by the efficient work of the king's tax collectors, who fan out across the empire to ensure that each citizen pays their share. Even as you watch, you can see a bright blue djinn returning through the gates of the city with an overflowing purse and several cartloads full of grain to contribute to the imperial storerooms.
Cumani: In a large, orderly encampment, a band of soldiers sit around a campfire, the light reflected by their well-polished armor. They are far from home, but still eager to extend the boundaries of their empire. Each day that passes they carry the standard of their emperor further into new territory, but they do not consider the inhabitants of this land their enemies, merely future comrades-in-arms who have not yet seen the wisdom of enlisting. They admire the art and culture of each new city they conquer, and are excited to return triumphantly through the gates of their capital with arms full of tapestries and statuettes they "found" during their campaign.
Sirjaya: In a sheltered cove, wooden houses float atop bright blue waters. On the banks are dense mangrove trees, but the Sirjaya are a curious people, eager to explore, and the gently swaying walkways are filled with stories that tell of secret groves deep in the jungle or mysterious islands just over the horizon, while the markets are filled with trade goods from settlements both near and far.
