The “Age of Darkness” Expansion
-
Heroes (discarded after using their special effect) - Can Godfrey and Olaf be driven off by the Archer, missionized by the Missionary, or infatuated by Marie?
Yes and no. Godfrey can be driven off by the Archer and taken over via Marie. Olaf has no strength point and thus is immune to the Archer, but he can be bewitched by Marie. However, in these cases the opponent determines which hero to remove or to offer you, provided that he placed various heroes.
-
Heroes (discarded after using their special effect) - If I have taken over Godfrey, Marie, and Olaf by means of the Missionary, may I activate them immediately?
No. You may activate them during your next turn at the earliest.
-
Heroes (discarded after using their special effect) - In order to use Godfrey and Olaf, must the requirements of similar action cards be met?
No.
-
Heroes (discarded after using their special effect) - To defend myself against activated heroes that have "special effects," can I use the protective actions that are effective against the corresponding attack-action?
No. Although Godfrey's effect resembles a Traitor's effect, being an intriguer allows Godfrey to get past the Lookout Tower and Heinrich the Sentinel. Also the Grove of Peace cannot be used against these cards.
Note: The Grove of Peace belongs to the Age of Enlightenment
-
Lighthouse - Can a Lighthouse simultaneously affect various ships?
Yes and no.
- The Lighthouse protects all trade ships from the Storm.
- However, a Lighthouse only improves the rate of the trade ship right above or below it.
-
Lighthouse - Can I improve the rate of my Large Trade Ship via the Lighthouse?
Yes.
-
Marie the Shieldmaiden - Do I have to pay the building costs for the received unit?
No.
-
Marie the Shieldmaiden - I have received a hero that can perform an action and is discarded afterwards. May I perform the action with him immediately after taking him over?
No, not until your next turn.
-
Marie the Shieldmaiden - May I refrain from taking over the heroes offered if I don't like them?
No, you must take one of the heroes.
-
Master Merchants' Alliance - If my opponent repeatedly trades the same resource with the bank during his turn, do I receive a resource each time he does so?
Yes.
-
Master of the Brotherhood - Do I have to pay gold if my opponent has placed the Master of the Brotherhood and I want to play an Arsonist against his Trading Station?
Playing the Arsonist is initially meant as a general attack against the opponent's buildings, without targeting any specific building. Therefore, gold must be paid whenever the opponent has other buildings besides the Trading Station.
-
Master of the Brotherhood - Do I have to pay gold if my opponent has placed the Master of the Brotherhood in his principality and loses a card via secondary effects?
No. The Master of the Brotherhood only takes effect if, according to the text on the card played, a direct effect may occur.
-
Mendicants - Can I lose gold in the Gold Cache to the Mendicants?
Yes.
-
Merchant's residences (in general) - How much does it cost to place a residence?
It costs nothing. You only have to meet the requirements for it.
-
Merchant's residences (in general) - Is a city required to build a residence?
Yes.
