Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• Does a Build have to happen for Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Level 1 to Gather Towns?
  No, there is always a Build Step, so the matching lands will still Gather Towns, even if the Build was skipped there.

• Does Ceaseless Mining (Habsburg Mining Expedition Level 1) cause Ravages in Mining lands from extra Build Steps (e.g., from High Immigration when combining with the Kingdom of England)?
  No, Ceaseless Mining only affects the ordinary Build Step printed on the Invader Board, since it refers to the Build Step. Build Cards in extra Build Steps will Build normally.

• For Habsburg Level 1 (Migratory Herders), does it check *all* Build Cards, or just those in the normal Build Step?
  The intent is that it only checks cards in the Build Space printed on the Invader Board, but that isn't explicitly spelled out for space reasons (and because it doesn't matter 99% of the time). If you play it as written (also checking Build Cards in other places), that's totally fine.

  Situations where it makes a difference include are playing double-Adversary with England Lvl 3+ (the High Immigration step has Build Cards) and the Event Card Farmers Seek the Dahan for Aid (which can turn a Ravage Card into a Build Card).

• How does Farmers Seek the Dahan For Aid affect Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Level 1?
  It doesn't — it changes the next Ravage Card to a Build Card, but doesn't affect the Invader Steps.

  Likewise if the Build is entirely skipped by Immigration Slows, there is still a Build Step and Habsburg Lvl 1 still happens.

• Against the Habsburg Mining Expedition Level 1+, does Disease only prevent Ravages in Mining lands during the Build Step?
  No, Disease in Mining lands will prevent any Ravage, including those caused by Ravage/Build Cards (common), Events (uncommon), or Powers (rare).
