Gnome themed strategy game

I haven't gotten too far on this game idea yet, but I'd be interested in hearing if the general idea sounds interesting to anyone. I've always been curious about the mysterious and elusive creatures that gnomes can be so I might be biased toward the idea. ;-)

OVERVIEW
Shady Forest is full of gnomes of all kinds. Some are famous for their knowledge, others their stealth, and some for their wealth and influence among the clans. Throughout the game you will play as several different gnome characters with the goal of winning 3 elections as 3 different characters. You may pass some of your knowledge and experience from one gnome to the next, and this is something you will need to do if you want your gnome dynasty to last.

SETUP
Start the game by rolling 25 dice that are one of 5 colors (5 dies of each color). The color of the die represents the type of gnome. The number represents which of the 6 clans the die will go into.

The gnome factions are as follows:

Blue = Knowledgeable Gnome
Green = Wealthy Gnome
Black = Stealthy Gnome
Yellow = Influencial Gnome
White = Normal Gnome

Once the dies have been divided based on clans, the dice within each clan are rerolled to determine the number of gnomes in each clan. So for example if a green die is rolled in clan 2 and it is a 5 that means there are now 5 Wealthy Gnomes in that clan.

Next, each player looks at 3 character cards and chooses one of them. All players reveal their choice simultaneously. Each character card indicates the friendship level with each of the 6 clans (usually between 1-5) as well as the amount of stealth tokens and knowledge cards they will get to start the game.

Once everyone has chosen their character and collected their knowledge cards, stealth tokens, and gold, they move the markers on their player mat to indicate their friendship level with each of the 6 clans based on their character card.

PLAYING THE GAME

At the start of each round roll 1 die and add it to the smallest clan. (The smallest clan determined by adding the pips on all the dies in that clan). The color of the die is chosen by the player with the strongest friendship with that clan.

The game is played by every player taking an action for each clan, each person taking 1 personal action, and then holding an election to determine who wins the election for that round. The winner will discard their gnome and draw a new character. The first player to win 3 elections wins the game.

The actions available to each clan are the following:

GAIN WEALTH
Gain 1 gold coin for every 3 wealthy gnomes in the clan. (each pip on a green die represents 1 wealthy gnome)

LEARN STEALTH
Gain 1 stealth token for every 3 stealthy gnomes in the clan. (each pip on a yellow die represents 1 stealthy gnome)

ATTAIN KNOWLEDGE
Gain 1 knowledge card for every 3 knowledgeable gnomes in the clan (each pip on a blue die represents 1 knowledgeable gnome). Knowledge cards will have between 1-3 knowledge points that will come in handy during the election. There will also be other unique abilities and uses that will be indicated on the knowledge cards. (This is where it could get a lot of fun thematically.)

INFLUENCE ACTION
For every 2 influencial gnomes you may convince 1 gnome from another clan to join your clan OR for every 3 influencial gnomes from another clan you can convince 1 gnome to leave the current clan.

For example if you are currently taking actions for clan 1 and in clan 1 there are 2 yellow die with a total of 8 pips, you can convince up to 4 gnomes from another clan to join your clan. This could be a combination of any number of die as long as the total on the dies does not exceed 4.

Once a player has chosen an action they will roll one additional die that will aid them in their action for that turn.

The player with the strongest friendship among the clan gets to choose their action first, followed by the player with the second strongest friendship. This continues until the player with the weakest friendship has taken an action. Once a player takes one of the 4 actions, no other player can take that action. If 2 players have the same friendship level they may both take the same action.

After actions for all 6 clans have been made, everyone decreases their friendship marker with each clan by 1.

Each player may then take 1 personal action before the election.

Personal actions include:

GIVE GOLD
Give 1 gold coin to increase your friendship with 1 clan by 1 point. (you may give as much as you wish)

PLAY KNOWLEDGE CARDS
Play any number of knowledge cards from your hand. (some knowledge cards cost stealth tokens in order to play)

GAIN GOLD
Collect 6 gold coins.

ELECTION
The winner of each election is determined in the following way.

Knowledgeable Gnomes (blue) always vote for the player who has the most knowledge points (each knowledge card has knowledge points ranging from 1-3)

Stealth Gnomes (black) always vote for the player with the most stealth tokens

All other gnomes vote for the player with the strongest friendship with their clan. If 2 or more players are at the same friendship level with that clan the votes are divided between them (rounding down).

Once a winner has been declared, the winner must discard their character card and draw a new character. The player must also adjust their friendship levels, stealth tokens, gold coins, and knowledge cards to reflect the number indicated on their new character card. The only way to ensure that you do not lose everything you have worked hard for is through your knowledge cards.

Many knowledge cards will indicate how much gold, stealth tokens or knowledge cards you are able to keep from your previous gnome. Some knowledge cards also give you a permanent boost in your friendship with a certain clan as long as you hold on to that knowledge card.

Once you win an election you will likely have some tough choices as you decide which knowledge cards you will wish to keep, and which you will discard.
