Some random questions
-
Pirate - May I steal a Resource Card from the owner of a coastal settlement if I place the pirate on an adjacent sea hex?
No.
-
Roll for Resource Production - Do the 4 markers with crosses remain on the numbers after the 4 dice rolls, or do I have to remove them before the turn continues?
That’s up to you. Given that leaving the markers in place helps you to recall information already available to everyone, we'd recommend that you leave the markers where they are. This helps avoid situations where a player bugs his opponents by repeatedly asking which numbers were rolled.
-
Barbarians III: Players are Defeated - After losing my last city, do I have to return all city improvements, Progress Cards, and commodities?
No. You merely can’t purchase any further city improvements before having built a city again.
-
Enchanted Land – In the “Enchanted Land” scenario, may I move my knights past foreign game pieces?
No, on the enchanted island, a knight may move on a path without a road, but may not cross a knight, road or settlement of another player.
-
Fast Gold" - May I use the "Fast Gold" advantage in addition to the 2:1 trade?
Unfortunately, an error has occurred in the corrresponding paragraph on page 15 of the game rules. The correct wording should be as follows: "If you are friends with one of these villages, once during your build and trade phase you may sell any 1 resource of your choice for 1 gold from the supply. If you are friends with both villages, you may sell 1 resource for 1 gold twice during your build and trade phase." This, of course, is possible in addition to buying resources for 2 gold
-
Influence Card – Action “Place Border” - May the action “Place borders” also be used to annex parts of a neutral zone?

-
