Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• When Volcano Looming High uses Explosive Eruption vs Tsardom of Russia Level 2+, can they Push 1 Explorer from the origin land (when it does damage by destroying Presence) then destroy that Explorer using the thresholds of the innate that deal damage to nearby lands? Does that Push the Explorer again?
  No, and no. Actions can't destroy Invaders that were saved from destruction earlier in that same action, so the runaway Explorer is safe. And all the damage is part of a single action, so you only Push them (and generate Fear) once.

  The damage from destroying your Presence is part of the same action because the Special Rule says "When you destroy your Presence..." – it modifies how other actions work while they're happening.

General Play

• If you deal damage in multiple lands with a single instruction, does the damage happen simultaneously? Against Russia level 2+, if one of those lands is Isolated, can you attempt to Push an Isolated Explorer and thus destroy it?
  Damage instructions are simultaneous in all the lands where they apply. Russia's Sense for Impending Disaster effect requires you to Push an Explorer if you can (and generate 1 Fear); you cannot pick an Isolated Explorer as the one to Push if you have another choice.

  This applies to any effect that deals damage in multiple lands at once.

Power Cards

• If you Repeat a card that boosts its own Range via an elemental threshold (eg: Sap the Strength of Multitudes), but don't have the threshold when you Repeat it, is the Repeat's range still boosted?
  Yes. Changes to Range/Speed persist across Repeats.

  If you do have the threshold, you don't get the +1 Range again. (This is counter to a strict reading of the rules; the threshold would be better written as "This Power's Range is 1", the way Talons of Lightning's is.)

  This does not apply to Carapaced Land, which has a greater Range for targeting lands with Beasts as an intrinsic part of its effect.

• For the power Storm-Swath, what happens if the origin land is the same as the target land?
  You do 2 damage to each Invader - the "target land" and "origin land" effects each still apply, just to the same land.
