Normal Action

Frequently Asked Questions

Invader Actions

• What counts as a single Ravage when "the next normal Ravage" is affected?
  A "normal" Ravage refers to the Ravage Actions caused by a single Ravage card during the Ravage Step printed on the board. Similarly the "normal" Build/Explore refers to the Actions caused by a single Build/Explore card during the Build/Explore step printed on the board. (See B&C p. 15 or JE p. 27)

  Thus anything modifying the "next normal" Invader Action affects both terrains on a Stage III card, but only one card if there are multiple cards in the slot. It doesn't apply to extra steps added by Adversaries like England, Invader Actions caused by an Event or Power (unless that modifies how the existing card works), or if a normal Invader Step is entirely replaced with a different one by an Event.

• Are the extra Builds from Bureaucrats Adjust Funding part of the normal Build for the purposes of Panicked by Wild Beasts?
  Yes, if it's the first Build Card that turn, Panicked by Wild Beasts level 2 or 3 skips any additional Builds caused by Bureaucrats Adjust Funding.

  Bureaucrats Adjust Funding modifies how the Build Card works, and thus any additional Build Actions it causes are considered part of the normal Build Card.

Scenarios

• How does Surges of Colonization interact with the Terror Level 2 effect of Explorers are Reluctant?
  If you resolve Explorers are Reluctant on an even-numbered turn where you’re resolving multiple Explore Cards, resolve one fewer Explore Card that turn and resolve one additional Explore Card on the following turn, when you'd normally not resolve any Explore Cards.

  If you resolve Explorers are Reluctant on an odd-numbered turn where you’re not resolving any Explore Cards, the "next normal Explore" and "next Invader Phase" are both on the next turn, so the two halves of the effect cancel each other out and the Fear Card essentially has no effect.

  If Explorers are Reluctant applies to the final even-numbered turn and there aren't enough cards left for the final surge, it may cause a game loss on the following turn when attempting to Explore from an empty deck.
