No.
Arsonist - If my opponent prevailed against my Arsonist by using Heinrich the Sentinel or a Lookout Tower, and I only have buildings that are protected by a Fire Brigade - do I have to remove a building from my principality?
The Cards
No. If he prevails, the Arsonist no longer has an effect, which is why it doesn't matter whether or not a Fire Brigade protects the buildings.

The Cards
Yes, if the foreign cards are in settlements/cities.
Note: Foreign cards belong to the Age of Darkness and Age of Enlightenment expansions.

No.
Arsonist - May I use my Arsonist to attack ships or heroes?
The Cards

Axel the Innovator - Do I receive gold if the new building costs less?
The Cards
No. If the removed building costs more than the new building you have built, you don't receive gold.
Axel the Innovator - May I build the new building at a different location - for example, may I remove a road complement and then build a city expansion?
The Cards
No. The new building replaces the removed building and thus must be placed at the location of the removed building.
