FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Units and Armies
No. If only peasants are on a hex, they are called a peasant group and are not considered an army.
Yes. If at least one military unit is on a hex together with peasants, all units on that hex, including peasants, form an army.
Yes. However, peasants cannot be active units of an army.
Battles
45.45%. The probability of destroying such a city equals the probability of dealing 4 damage during battle: 1 damage to destroy the swordsman unit, and 3 damage to destroy the city itself. The attacker's army consists of 4 military units, plus a siege engine with the projectile combat type, which increases courage by +1. Thus, the attacker can draw a maximum of 5 cubes from the bag, of which at least 4 must be their color. The attacker has 8 cubes in the bag (4 units and the trebuchet's strength bonus); the defender has 3 cubes (the unit, its bonus, and the city garrison bonus). Therefore, using the hypergeometric distribution formula, the probability that the attacker, who has 8 cubes in a bag of 11 total, will draw at least 4 cubes of their color equals approximately 45.45%.
Probability increases by 5% (from 0.54 to 0.59). Adding one of your cubes increases the overall success probability. Note that this also reduces the probability of drawing enemy cubes.
Probability increases by 28.5% (from 0.54 to 0.825). Drawing an additional cube significantly increases success chances, but also increases the probability of drawing enemy cubes.
Yes. A rebel is considered an enemy army regardless of unit color.
No. A rebel is not a foreign army, as it does not belong to any other player.
No. You did not destroy the enemy unit, but you destroyed the enemy army. If no objects belonging to your opponent remain on the hex with this army, then you won the battle.
The exhaustion cube(s) should be discarded. Exhaustion cubes reflect the state of units. If there are no units on a hex, there is no state.
No. Destroying a unit does not occur in case of its conversion or recovery. However, if this was the last enemy unit on the hex, it means you won this battle.
Religion
No. If a province has no religion token, it is considered to have no religious community.
No. If heresy appears in your religious community, you lose control over it. It is also not considered a foreign religious community, as it is not controlled by any other player.
No. Such a religious community is considered foreign, as you do not control it, even though it practices your religion.
Technologies
You may perform the described action, paying the full cost without using action cubes. A free action allows you to perform an action so that it does not consume one of your limited action cubes.
No. When performing free actions, action cubes are not used. However, borrowing a technology involves converting an action cube into an allegiance cube. Therefore, if you borrow a technology as a free action, take this cube from the box.
Other
No. The main requirement is that during your turn you can perform a main action. Some nation abilities allow you to perform a main action using experience cubes or other resources.
