The priority units will board the vessel, while the remaining units stay in the region.

Weaker or equal

The Enemy only attacks a player's army if the Natural Strength of the player's army is less than or equal to the Natural Strength of the Enemy Hero's army.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

Whenever petrified units are attacked; their status returns to normal. Yes, they can be sacrificed to pay the cost for tactic cards.

No

Petrified units return to normal upon being attacked. If they survive the battle, as they are not petrified any longer, they can be used as normal.

Player eliminated

If a battle is won in a Capital City, the player who lost is eliminated from the game and has lost the game. All their pieces are removed from play. The player’s army who won, remains in that region until moved out later.

No

Combat spells can only be used in battle and by a player in the battle the spell is affecting.

No

No

You cannot. The group of units you move must move together, and you cannot pick up or drop off units as you go.

Only the directly opposite region.

Yes

Yes, you can pass through the region, but you cannot stop in it.

5 VP

If ever there is a single Solo Enemy Card in the deck, instead of drawing it take that card and ALL cards in the discard pile (not cards in Hero Slots) and shuffle them together. Place them face-down to form a refreshed Solo Enemy deck.

Spells and Abilities, even during a Battle in the Capital City, cannot remove Serfs from the Action Bar or Building Spaces, nor can those Units be Sacrificed to pay for Tactic Cards.

Abilities and Spells performed by enemy players cannot affect the Capital City from OUTSIDE, but during a Battle INSIDE the Capital City Region, abilities can take effect. For example, an enemy player cannot cast "Earthquake" and cause another player to lose Units from their Capital City. But, if they were in a Battle with the Capital City, they could cast "Fireball," causing a loss of Units there.

Only Units (except for Vessels) may be sacrificed. Neither Vessels nor Structures may be sacrificed.

If a Tactic Card or other ability cancels your Tactic Card, you do not have to pay the resource cost, nor do you gain its VP (positive or negative).

No

The defender may not cast a Combat Spell after the attacker has cast one. However Interrupt Spells may still be cast.

If a player cannot pay the cost and meet the requirements then their card is ignored and considered a 0 Strength. A player may NOT choose to not pay the cost of their selected Tactic Card and ignore it if they can afford to pay the cost, in Resources and/or in Units.

No, unless...

Unless stated otherwise, Capital City Regions and Units inside cannot be affected by enemy Spells. However, while in a Battle within a Capital City Region, Combat Spells may be used.

2 Speed

The Central Sea Region counts as 2 Regions when flying, so it requires 2 Speed to fly an Air Vessel through it.

No

Air Vessels don't require Units aboard it to fly.

Like the Sea Vessel, the Air Vessel may carry passenger Units which can freely board and exit the vessel if sharing the same Region but not in the middle of a Fly Action.

Like armies Marching through a Desert Region, Sea Vessels cannot Sail through the Central Sea Region in a single Sail Action. They must end their Sail upon entering and may move out with a subsequent Sail Action.

Yes

Sea Vessels may Sail through “unexplored” Sea Regions without revealing their Exploration Tokens.

In the Central Sea Region, 2 Exploration Tokens are revealed and resolved one at a time. Do not reveal the second token until the first is resolving.

No

Sea Vessels don't require Units aboard to sail.

No

A Sea Vessel may not march with an army.

Land Units on the Shore may freely board and exit the docked Vessel, however a Sea Vessel may not march with an army.

When a vessel is “docked” on a Shore, the Vessel is placed halfway between both the Land and Sea Region.

Shore Regions are any Land Regions that border the Sea.

Graticules are the letters or numbers marked on the outside of the map that have matching pairs directly opposite from each other. Attached to Ferry Routes, these are considered connected and “wrap-around” to the opposite side of the map.

Units cannot pass through a Desert Region in a single March Action, even if they have sufficient Speed to do so. They must end their March upon entering and may move out with a subsequent March Action.

Yes

Armies may March through “unexplored” Regions without revealing their Exploration Tokens. Safety first!

In a Swamp Region, 2 Exploration Tokens are revealed and resolved one at a time. Do not reveal the second token until the first is resolving.

In the rare event that a conflict arises, resolve the actions in player order, starting with the active player.

Serfs must remain in their Action Slots until the end of the round. This fills that Action Slot for the remainder of the round and that action may not be taken again, neither by following with another Serf nor by taking a traditional action with a Faction Token.

Serfs in the Action Bar cannot be used for any other Actions this round, cannot be targeted or sacrificed in Battle and cannot be the target of any Spells, but they do offer their Strength value if the Capital City is attacked.

After Taxing is complete (including Followed Actions), the Resource Tokens advance; the token in “slot 2” moves to “3,” the “3” to the “4,” and the “4” then cycles back to the beginning “2” slot.

If the Spell Deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile and form a new deck.

Cards are being cast as Command actions.

The cards you choose are kept in your Spell Library (=your hand) or Scribed Spell Slots (=C.C. board).

1 VP

Each Scribed Spell is worth 1 VP at the end of the game.

Players may have only as many scribed Spells as their C.C. level.

Nope

No, scribed Spells cannot be discarded at any time.

The number of cards allowed in your hand is equal to your C.C. level.

Nope.

Constructs are made to be assembled once and never disassembled. You may refer to the Construct Assembly Guide for detailed assembly instructions.

Land Region

Docked Sea Vessels are considered to be in the Land Region, NOT the Sea Region.

2

There's a maximum of 2 units per vessel.

1 VP

Each completed Building is worth 1 VP at the end of the game

Yes

Each Serf occupying a building Worker Space still offers its natural Strength (1) when defending a Battle in your Capital City Region.

1 VP

Each Warrior in play is worth 1 VP at the end of the game.

2 VP

Each Hero in play is worth 2 VP at the end of the game.

Upgraded Capitals unlock new abilities with Buildings and Heroes as listed on the C.C. Board and Hero Cards. It also increases the C.C.'s Strength, the number of Towers and Spell Cards a player can have and Scribe, and the VP the Capital City is worth at end of the game.

When a Tower is built, reveal, but do NOT resolve, all the face-down Land Exploration Tokens in the Land Regions adjacent to the Tower that are on the same Continent as the Tower. The tokens are resolved when another Unit enters those Regions.

No

Unlike when building a Building, the Serf is not required to stay in that Region; they are treated as a normal Unit.

1

A player with a Lv.1 Capital City may only build 1 Tower.

1

Players are also limited to building only 1 of their own Towers on 1 continent (in 2-player games, a player may have 2 Towers on 1 Continent). Multiple Factions’ Towers may occupy the same continent. A Tower may never be built in a Capital City Region with a Capital City Construct.

Towers have a Natural Strength of 3 and may not move (unless an ability allows it). They are each worth 3 VP per Land Region away from that player's C.C. at the end of the game.

Yes

Yes. If a Structure, ie. a Tower or CC, is involved in the Battle, any Tactic Card can be played.

Serfs on the Action Bar and in Buildings cannot be removed with removal abilities/spells or sacrifice. Other than that, they count towards every other ability/spell, weakening or boosting.

The Unit needs to be alive when Tactic Cards are revealed to count towards Strength bonuses. In your example, the Paladin would lose his +1 Strength if the Serf were killed before the Tactic Cards were played. Furthermore, the Level 3 Paladin can gain an extra 2 VP for winning a battle with a Serf. In this case, the Serf would need to survive the entire battle (not be sacrificed) in order for the extra VP to kick in.

If one side no longer has Units or Structures prior to Tactic Cards being played.

After removing Sacrificed Units, which is after Tactic Cards have been played.

If a player chooses a Tactic Card they cannot play (for whatever reason), it becomes the Fight Tactic Card. 0 cost, 0 strength.

Defender first

Defender first.
