Technologies

Yes. The generic product symbol lets each product you gain be any type you want. If you are owed 3 products, you could take 1 mead, 1 weapon, and 1 cloth.

Yes. This technology says "gain," not "gather." Calamity blocks gathering, but gaining is a separate thing. As long as your Peasant sits on a forest hex, you gain 1 food for it, whether or not you can gather wood there.

Yes. This technology says "gain," not "gather." Calamity blocks gathering, but gaining is separate. Your Peasants on calamity hexes still count toward the total.

2 wood. Count all your Peasants on all meadow hexes together: 3 + 2 = 5. 5 / 2 = 2.5, rounded down to 2. Rounding always goes against the player.

Yes. This counts your units in all your Cities and Castles, no matter who controls the province. If your City sits in a province you don't control and holds 3 of your units, you gain 12 coins from them.

You move cubes between the product warehouse areas on your player mat, which converts one product type into another. Say you have 4 Forges and nothing else, so all your products are weapons. Move cubes from the Forge area to the Artisan Workshop or Meadery and those weapons become cloth or mead.

No. Quarries and Mills hold resources (stone, wood, food), not products. This technology only moves cubes between product warehouses: Forge, Artisan Workshop, and Meadery.

No. You determine the selling price once before the transaction. Then you remove up to your transaction limit (3 by default) from your player mat and collect the total payment from the supply. Only after the entire transaction is complete do you lower the market price.

No. This is an instant effect of the card and has nothing to do with your Peasants or where they stand. You gain 15 stone when you research or adopt it.

You move cubes between the resource warehouse areas on your player mat, converting one resource into another. For example, move cubes from food storage to stone or wood storage to turn food into stone or wood.

No. Those hold products, not resources. This technology only moves cubes between resource warehouses: Quarry, Sawmill, and Mill (stone, wood, food).

No. You determine the selling price once before the transaction. Then you remove up to your transaction limit (3 by default) from your player mat and collect the total payment from the supply. Only after the entire transaction is complete do you lower the market price.

No. You determine the selling price once before the transaction. Then you remove up to your transaction limit (3 by default) from your player mat and collect the total payment from the treasury. Only after the entire transaction is complete do you lower the market price.

8 coins. A City costs 10, minus the 2-coin discount.

12 coins. Each Building normally costs 5, and the discount drops it to 3. Four Buildings at 3 each is 12.

No. The discount lowers the cost to a minimum of 0, so you pay nothing for the Palisade. A discount never gives you change.

No. This is an instant effect of the card and has nothing to do with your Peasants or where they stand. You gain 15 food when you research or adopt it.

It turns food into stone with a one-round delay, and the amount doubles. First you place up to 5 food cubes on this card. Then, during the next achievement phase, every cube on it is doubled and moved to your stone warehouse. Place 5 food now and you get 10 stone at the end of the round.

+2 stone. Count all your Peasants on all mountain hexes together: 2 + 3 = 5. 5 / 2 = 2.5, rounded down to 2 (rounding always goes against the player). So you gather your normal stone plus 2.

It turns wood into food with a one-round delay, and the amount doubles. First you place up to 5 wood cubes on this card. Then, during the next achievement phase, every cube on it is doubled and moved to your food warehouse. Place 5 wood now and you get 10 food at the end of the round.

It turns stone into wood with a one-round delay, and the amount doubles. First you place up to 5 stone cubes on this card. Then, during the next achievement phase, every cube on it is doubled and moved to your wood warehouse. Place 5 stone now and you get 10 wood at the end of the round.

+2 wood. Count all your Peasants on all forest hexes together: 2 + 3 = 5. 5 / 2 = 2.5, rounded down to 2 (rounding always goes against the player). So you gather your normal wood plus 2.

No. During the cleanup phase you get back every spent action cube. It's only gone for the rest of the current round.

Army size matters. Take exhaustion off a large, powerful army and put it on a small one, and your main force can maneuver or fight again this round. The price is freezing a less important army.

You spend 1 food from your warehouse and place an exhaustion cube on one of your unexhausted armies. In return you gain 1 action cube for this round only. You trade food and an army's readiness for an extra action.

No, you are not forced to pass. But if you use this to gain an action cube, you have to actually perform a main action with it. You can't take only free actions and then exhaust your army for nothing. The gained cube must go to a main action.

No. By default you must draw all the cubes you intend to draw at once, with no chance to peek and then draw more. You pick a number up to your army's courage, pull them all together, and resolve the result.

You can stop early once you've dealt enough damage and avoid extra losses. Say your courage is 4 and you attack an army of 2 units. Drawing all 4 at once will probably destroy both, but you'll likely pull some enemy cubes too and take damage. One by one, you can stop after 2 of your own cubes, enough to destroy the enemy army, and leave the rest in the bag. You may take no damage at all.

Yes. Your Peasants get 3 movement points: 2 by default plus 1 from this technology. It applies to all your units, military or not.

Yes. Galleys are ranged attack units, so an army with Galleys gets both +1 strength and +1 courage when fighting enemy vessels.

3. You get 1 for having at least one unit, +1 because the enemy army is adjacent, and +1 from this technology's bonus against vessels.

Both. The bonus applies whenever your army is on a forest hex during a battle, attacking or defending.

No. A group of only Peasants is not an army. The bonus applies to your armies, which need at least one military unit.

Yes, but as 2 white defense cubes. The Swordsmen are in the forest, so the bonus applies. Since they're inactive and can't reach the Archers, all their cubes, this bonus included, go in as white defense cubes.

The attacker drops their Glory on the Glory track by 1 before starting the attack.

No. The attacker spends 1 Glory per attack, no matter how many of your units are in that battle.

No. This only covers your units. Structures aren't units, so attacking them costs nothing.

They can't attack your units. The ability requires spending Glory, and if they can't spend it, they can't start the attack.

No. This only affects opponents who attack your units. When you attack, the technology does nothing.

Both. The bonus applies whenever your army is on a mountain hex during a battle, attacking or defending.

No. A group of only Peasants is not an army. The bonus applies to your armies, which need at least one military unit.

Yes, but as 2 white defense cubes. The Swordsmen are in the mountains, so the bonus applies. Since they're inactive and can't reach the Archers, all their cubes, this bonus included, go in as white defense cubes.

Yes. It applies when overcoming any adversity: malfunctioning technologies, rebels, heresy, corruption, damage, and calamities.

No. To start overcoming adversities you first maneuver into your City or Castle. The 2 white cubes go in during bag preparation of the overcoming action. They don't replace the maneuver.

Yes. Card abilities beat the base rules. "Always" means always. Even when corruption would normally raise the cost, this technology locks it at 1 action cube.

Yes. Peasants normally cost 2 coins and 1 food. With this technology, their coin cost drops to just 1 food.

Your religion card can hold a maximum of 4 faith cubes. You may only transfer exhaustion cubes up to this storage limit. If your card already holds some faith cubes, you can only add enough to reach 4.

They remain in the province. You transfer only 2 cubes (up to the storage limit). The remaining 2 exhaustion cubes stay on your units — you cannot simply discard them.

Yes. You may choose any single province where you have exhausted units, regardless of whether you control that province.

After your normal draw, you set aside some of the drawn cubes and draw the same number of new ones from the bag. Then you choose which set to keep; the other set goes back into the bag.

No. It works only during a battle. Overcoming adversities is a separate action and isn't a battle.

Yes. The technology says "during a battle" and doesn't require an army. Even if only your Peasants are attacked, you may redraw.

1. 3 / 2 = 1.5, rounded down to 1 (rounding always goes against the player).

No. A community with heresy isn't yours anymore, since you lose control of it. Only communities you control count here. The exception is Pantheonic Faith, which lets you ignore heresy; with it, those communities still count.

Yes, theoretically. You would have two separate conversion attempts — one from Theocracy and one from this technology. Alternatively, this gives you a second chance to convert a single unit if your first attempt fails.

It adds to your base limit. Your faith cube storage goes from 4 to 8.

No. You need a sure way to perform a main action, not a maybe. Winning battles isn't guaranteed, so you can't lean on this technology to dodge passing. With no certain main action available, you pass. Plan ahead and earn the extra action cube on an earlier turn, so it's ready when you need it.

It makes spreading religion into your zone more expensive. The extra cube raises the chance of an unfavorable draw, so the infidel has to pay 1 more mead to succeed.

No. A community with heresy isn't yours anymore, since heresy costs you control of it. This protects only the communities you actually control. The exception is Pantheonic Faith, which lets you ignore heresy and keep control.

Yes. Your next research just starts over, moving in from the edge of the grid.

Yes. When you research, cubes go on the grid first, then you pay the cost, and only then does the effect resolve. By the time this instant effect fires, the new cube is already on the grid and transfers with the rest.

Yes, but you gain less, since fewer cubes are on the grid to transfer.

No. Each research action must use the shortest path. Between separate research actions, though, you can reposition. Research a distant technology first, then use your next action on something near the start. You spend more cubes across several actions without breaking the shortest-path rule.

It applies to anything that references adjacency on the technology grid. An event like "Gain 1 knowledge technology adjacent to your action cubes on the technology grid" would also count diagonal cells as adjacent.

Yes. You gain 2 Glory for each foreign cube adjacent to your action cubes, whoever it belongs to. Two different opponents with a cube next to yours means 4 Glory.

Yes. Heuristics makes diagonal cells count as adjacent on the grid, so foreign cubes on those cells count here too.

You pay 10 coins to return one of your spent action cubes to your player zone, ready to use again this round.

Yes. The cube goes back to your player zone and works for any action, including the one it came from.

Only if you have a guaranteed way to perform a main action. If you're certain this will give you an action cube, meaning you hold the 10 coins and a spent cube to recover, you may start with free actions, as long as you actually perform a main action later in the turn.

Yes. Mead is a product, so the -1 product discount cuts the adoption fee. Instead of 2 Mead you pay 1.

1 stone and 2 food. Weapons take stone, normally 1 per product, but the discount applies once per type, so you pay 2 - 1 = 1 stone. Cloth takes food, normally 1 per product, so with the discount you pay 3 - 1 = 2 food.

The discounted cube comes from the supply. For the rest, you transfer resource cubes to product warehouses as usual.

As many as you have built Markets. Each Market allows 1 transaction, same as with a normal trade action.

Yes, but you gain no effect. Without Markets you have no transactions to perform.

Yes. The free trade and the main trade action are technically separate actions.

Yes. You perform production as your main action, then use this technology's free trade action to sell the products you just made.

Up to 8 resources or 4 products. The base transaction limit is 6 resources or 3 products; this technology adds +2 resources or +1 product to that limit.

Yes. The "or" applies per transaction, not per action. Each individual transaction lets you choose independently whether to apply the +2 resource bonus or the +1 product bonus.

Yes. Card abilities beat the base rules. "Always" means always. Even when corruption would normally raise the cost, this technology locks it at 1 action cube.

Yes. Card abilities override the base rules. "Always" means always — even if corruption would normally increase the cost, this technology locks it at 1 action cube.

Yes. Card abilities beat the base rules. "Always" means always. Even when corruption would normally raise the cost, this technology locks it at 1 action cube.

4 products. Each foreign City or Castle in range counts on its own: 2 Cities at 2 products each is 4.

2 products. The technology counts each foreign City or Castle once, not once per City of yours. One foreign City in range means 2 products.

Yes. The Castle (1 hex) and the City (2 hexes) both sit in the 1-2 hex range. You gain 2 products for each, so 4.

4 products. Each foreign City counts whoever owns it: 2 Cities at 2 products each is 4.

It can't. Two Cities can't sit on adjacent hexes. The 1-hex distance matters for Castles, which can be adjacent to your City or Castle.

To each good. Buy 6 stone in one transaction and you pay 1 coin less per cube, so 6 coins less in total.

No. The cost drops to a minimum of 1. A good never pays you coins to take it.

To each good. Sell 6 stone and you get 1 coin more per cube, so 6 coins more in total.

Yes. Selling works as normal. You add +1 to each good's price, collect the payment, then lower the market price by one step after the transaction.

It raises how many products you may make in one production action by 1. You still pay the resource cost for that extra product.

Per production action. Each time you produce, the limit is 1 higher.

All of them. "Of all players" includes your cubes and everyone else's on their Market areas.

During the achievement phase, while the cubes are still on the Market areas. Cleanup retrieves them afterward, so count them before that.

No. It triggers only after you win against an enemy army, which needs at least one military unit.

No. You need to discard 4 of your color first. With 3, you discard all 3 and move nothing.

Your remaining color cubes go there and become your experience cubes. Enemy cubes are not affected and return to the supply as usual.

No. The technology has no availability requirement. You get 1 Swordsman each time you construct a military Building, regardless of what else you have built.

No. Military Buildings are the ones that let you train military units: the 3 Barracks, 3 Siege Workshops, and 3 Dockyards. A Forge does not count.

Yes. "Each" means 1 Swordsman per military Building you construct.

No. You gain it, you don't recruit it. There's no cost and no recruiting restriction to worry about.

Right, exhaustion normally blocks a maneuver. This technology lets one of your exhausted armies maneuver anyway, and that maneuver may start a battle.

No. The army stays exhausted. Supply Wagon lets an exhausted army maneuver and initiate battle anyway - the exhaustion cube stays on the army and still affects its strength.

It moves with the army.

Yes. A new exhaustion cube is added as normal.

Yes. March is a type of maneuver, so Supply Wagon applies. Just watch the math - a march adds 2 exhaustion cubes, and each cube beyond the first costs 1 strength. An already-exhausted army that marches goes into battle with a serious penalty.

The current market price of each resource and product the unit would cost. You're buying the missing goods at market price and paying in coins.

No. Only the payment changes. Every other recruiting rule still applies.

No. This is not a trade action. Market prices stay unchanged.

Yes. You spend 5 Glory and recruit as a free action, but each unit still costs its usual resources, products, or coins.

Yes, up to 5 units total in any combination of types available to you. You still need the Buildings each type requires.

Yes. Availability only requires that the Building exists, not that you have one per unit. A single Siege Workshop is enough to recruit 5 Catapults.

No. You get it only when your target is an enemy structure.

Your damage goes past the fortification to what it protects, without having to destroy the Wall or Palisade first.

No. Both apply only when you attack a structure.

You put a drawn cube back into the bag, then draw a new one. Because the cube went back, you might pull it again.

One per engaged military unit. Peasants don't count.

No. Each redraw applies to a separate drawn cube. You cannot chain redraws on the same draw.

No. A redraw is not a draw. Effects that trigger "before anyone draws cubes" only apply to the initial draw, not to redraws.

One of the enemy's technologies, your choice. A malfunction is an adversity that disables the card until they overcome it.

Yes. You inflict it before the battle, so a technology they'd lean on can sit disabled while you fight.

Only when you defend in your own fortifications (City, Castle, Wall, Palisade). Your army gets +1 strength and the attacking army loses 1 courage.

They draw one fewer cube from the bag, so they're more likely to fall short on damage.

Yes. You can discard any of the drawn cubes, including white ones.

One per engaged military unit. Peasants don't count. The cubes you don't discard go back into the bag.

Both.

The defender resolves their effect first when timing is equal. So their conversion happens before your swap.

Then you go first, since you are the defender.

They do, normally. This technology lets your army move straight through hexes with enemy Peasants or Buildings.

Just 1, after the maneuver, chosen from the Peasants your army passed through. Not all of them.

No. You still have to end the maneuver on a hex that is free of enemy objects. This technology only lets you pass through, not stop there.

Any cube that isn't an enemy cube. Draw one of those and the conversion is canceled. Draw an enemy cube and it stands.

After each one. Conversions resolve one at a time, and this triggers separately for each.

Conversion happens during battle, so you draw from the prepared battle bag.

Yes. The entire conversion is canceled, including its effects. All cubes removed from the bag go back in.

No. Count your units in all your Cities and Castles, whoever controls the province.

No. All your armies get +1 strength for the rest of the round. That part is separate from the Glory count.

Yes.

Yes. Each one is its own conversion attempt when you defend.

Yes. You gain 1 Glory for each object lost.

Your units and structures. Each one you lose earns 1 Glory.

No. Losing an object means it is destroyed or removed from the game, not that control changes.

No. Same logic as rebels - the unit changed hands, it was not destroyed.

No. A religion token is not an object.

In the province you just spread your religion to, and only there.

One. Pick either 1 damage or 1 rebel, once per spread.

Yes.

Discarded cubes leave the bag for good. The battle that follows uses the same bag, so fewer enemy cubes in it means better draws during combat.

No. Success means you drew no enemy cubes at all. Discarding does not change the result of this draw.

No. You still need an ability that explicitly lets you perform a conversion action. This technology only modifies what happens during one.

Every religious community of your religion on the map, as long as you are the Spiritual Leader. It does not matter who controls the province they are in.

You lose this control with it. You keep only the communities that are yours by other means.

It's the cost to use the swap. When you spread your religion, draw one extra cube, and you may replace an enemy unit in the new community with your unit of the same type.

From the supply. The enemy unit leaves and your matching unit takes its place in the community you just created.

No. This is a separate replacement mechanic, not a conversion.

No. Drama triggers on losing an object. The unit was replaced, not destroyed.

Pick one adversity type and overcome every instance of it at once, for example all your rebels or all your corruption.

Yes.

No.

No. You take 2, keep 1, and give the other to any player you choose.

No. You must give 1 of the 2 away.

No. You still need to research them. Researching a technology from hand is a free action, but you still pay the resource cost.

During a battle, right after losses are defined. You perform the recovery action to try to save units that would be lost.

Once per faith cube. After each failed attempt you may spend 1 faith cube to try again, repeating as long as you have faith cubes to spend.

Yes. It works before anyone draws, so any player's draw is fair game, even one you have no stake in.

Yes. "Anyone" includes you, so you can pay 5 coins to draw 1 extra cube yourself.

You force that player to draw one more cube or one fewer, your choice, for 5 coins each time you use it.

No. This can only be used once before each draw.

Yes. Each draw is a separate trigger, so you can use this before each one.

White cubes mark things as exhausted or activated. Moving one from your army lets it maneuver again at the cost of activating a recurrent technology. Moving one the other way resets a recurrent technology at the cost of exhausting your army.

No. Pick one direction per activation: from your army to an unactivated recurrent technology, or from a recurrent technology to an unexhausted army. One white cube, one move.

Yes. It is still your technology. You cannot activate it, but you can transfer a cube onto it.

No. A rebel army is no longer yours, regardless of color.

Yes. You gain 10 coins for each foreign cube adjacent to your action cubes, whoever owns it.

Yes. Heuristics makes diagonals count as adjacent on the grid, so foreign cubes there earn coins too.

Yes. You gain 3 Glory per foreign cube adjacent to your action cubes, no matter which opponent owns it.

Yes. With Heuristics, diagonals count as adjacent, so foreign cubes on them count here too.

Just one player's. You pick any one player, including yourself, and gain 3 coins for each technology they have.

Yes. Each technology card a player has counts, whether researched or adopted.

One more of whatever the other card told you to gain or take. If a card gives you an Archer, pay 2 resources to get a second one.

Once per card. Different cards in the same turn each allow it once, but a single card only once.

No. It works whenever another card's effect causes you to gain or take something, including during the achievement phase when resolving events.

Yes. Influence is the total hit points of your military units and fortifications there, so +1 hit point on each City, Castle, and Wall adds to it.

No. Only Cities, Castles, and Walls. Palisades aren't listed.

Yes. "Always" means always. Corruption would normally raise the cost, but this locks recruiting in the Dockyard at 1 action cube.

Up to 8 resources or 5 products. The base limit is 6 resources or 3 products, and this adds +2 to whichever you are trading.

Yes. The bonus applies per transaction, so each one can use it independently.

+1. The bonus is per hex that has your Peasant, not per Peasant. Extra Peasants on the same hex add nothing.

No. This says "gather," and Calamity blocks gathering. You get the bonus only on hexes where you can actually gather.

Whatever the hex provides: wood from forests, stone from mountains, food from meadows or seas.

12, if all 12 of your Peasants are on different hexes of the same resource type.

Pick any one player, including yourself. You gain 1 Glory for every 10 coins they have.

They don't count. 35 coins give 3 Glory.

Yes. End game scoring counts your coins independently. Using this technology on yourself does not reduce what you score at the end.

Any value on the market track, from its lowest to its highest. You set the price for one good to whatever you like within that range.

One experience cube each time. Set a high price right before you sell, or a low one right before you buy.

Normally they can't. This lets your exhausted Peasants in your province gather alongside the rest when you gather a resource.

It lets you squeeze more resources out of a single turn. For example, gather wood with your forest Peasants, move them to meadows, then gather food - the ones that moved gather food too, even though they are now exhausted.

No. It's still gathering, and Calamity blocks that. Exhausted Peasants on clear hexes gather; those on Calamity hexes don't.

Only when you construct the last structure from one area of your mat, emptying that area. Building one of several does nothing.

The action that area is tied to. Empty your Market area and you get a free trade; empty a production area and you get that free production.

You get a free action for each emptied area, resolved in any order you choose.

All the action cubes you've spent on one chosen area of your mat. They return to your player zone, ready to use again this round.

Yes. It's an instant effect, so it happens once, when you research or adopt the technology.

Yes. All cubes spent on that area come back, no matter how many. Just remember you need at least one cube to research this technology in the first place.

Yes. What matters is that your army included a projectile attack unit, not which unit dealt the damage.

No. The projectile attack must have dealt at least 1 damage first.

Catapults, Trebuchets, and some elite units of certain nations.

Each of your cavalry units adds 2 cubes of your color to the bag instead of 1. This applies to every cavalry unit in your army, not just one.

Yes.

3. Each such unit adds 3 cubes to the bag.

Each of your infantry units adds 2 cubes of your color to the bag instead of 1 when fighting in melee. This applies to every melee infantry unit in your army, not just one.

Yes.

3. Each such unit adds 3 cubes to the bag.

Each of your infantry units adds 2 cubes of your color to the bag instead of 1 when making a ranged attack. This applies to every ranged infantry unit in your army, not just one.

Yes.

3. Each such unit adds 3 cubes to the bag.

Military technologies - those marked with the red banner symbol.

Count your military technologies against the defender's. If you have more, you destroy 1 of their engaged units before bag preparation.

Yes. Researched and adopted military technologies both count toward your total.

Yes, as long as they are military class.

No. The unit is destroyed before bag preparation, so it never adds cubes. The enemy army goes into battle with reduced strength and courage.

It removes 1 exhaustion cube from one of your armies, so that army can act again this round.

Units and structures.

Yes. You gain 1 Glory for each enemy object destroyed.

After your draw, set aside some drawn cubes and draw the same number of fresh ones. Keep one set; the other goes back into the bag.

One per engaged military unit. Peasants don't count.

No. Each redraw applies to a separate drawn cube. You cannot chain redraws on the same draw.

No. A redraw is not a draw. Effects that trigger "before anyone draws cubes" only apply to the initial draw, not to redraws.

Only after you win a battle as the attacker. The army that just fought may maneuver again, and that move may start another battle.

No. Only an attacker's win triggers it.

It moves with the army.

Yes. A new exhaustion cube is added as normal.

Yes. March is a type of maneuver. Just watch the math - a march adds 2 exhaustion cubes, and each cube beyond the first costs 1 strength. An already-exhausted army that marches goes into battle with a serious penalty.

Yes. A Palisade with 1 hit point falls to 1 stone, before any cubes are drawn.

Yes.

No. The battle has not started yet, so there is no battle to win.

Yes. This happens before battle, so the normal destruction priority that applies during battle does not apply here.

One of your cubes and one enemy cube, together. Up to 4 pairs, so up to 4 of yours and 4 of the enemy's leave the bag.

It shifts the odds. Say the bag has 7 of your cubes and 3 enemy cubes. Removing 3 pairs leaves 4 of yours and 0 enemy cubes - the battle is decided before a single cube is drawn. Even removing 1 or 2 pairs meaningfully improves your chances when the enemy has few cubes in the bag.

No. They come out in pairs, one of each per pair. This works only when you attack.

Yes. You can discard any of the drawn cubes, including white ones.

One per engaged military unit. Peasants don't count. The cubes you don't discard go back into the bag.

Both.

The defender resolves their effect first when timing is equal. So their conversion happens before your swap.

Then you go first, since you are the defender.

By default an army can hold up to 4 units. This raises that to 5.

Each of your armies could draw 1 more cube in battle.

Pick any one player, including yourself. You gain 1 Glory for each military unit they have on the map.

No. Only military units.

Yes. Their ability makes them military units by definition, so they count.

Overcoming adversity normally gives 1 Glory per black cube discarded. This adds +2 on top of that, so typically 3 per cube.

No. Any adversity counts: rebels, heresy, corruption, damage, calamities, or malfunctioning technologies.

No. You count them and gain Glory, but the cubes stay on your government card.

Yes. End game scoring counts them independently. Using this technology does not reduce what you score at the end.

All of yours, for this round.

One of your own structures, destroyed as the price. In return you change your government as a free action and move all your experience cubes to the new card.

So you don't lose them. A government change normally requires you to discard them; this carries them over to the new government card instead.

No. Autocracy gives Glory for destroying enemy objects, not your own.

Yes. You lost an object, so Drama triggers.

No. The unit is destroyed as soon as the conversion lands.

Yes. By the time you destroy it, the unit belongs to the opponent. You are destroying an enemy object.

Yes. They converted it, so it became theirs, and then you destroyed it. They lost the object, not you.

They stay on the opponent's government card. Destroying the unit does not take the experience cubes back.

Yes. Place up to 4 adversities on any players you choose, all on one or spread around.

4 total, divided however you like among the players you target.

Yes. "Any players" includes you.

Yes. The 4 adversities can be any combination of types: rebels, heresy, corruption, damage, malfunction and calamities.

No. Only costs that come from a card effect.

No. You still need abilities that grant conversion actions. Normally those only trigger when defending. This lets you use all of them when attacking as well.

Normally a successfully converted unit gets an exhaustion cube. Without that penalty, the unit is immediately ready to act.

No. Each faith cube gives you 3 resources of any type, mix and match freely.

Yes. The two are unrelated.

No. You just count them and gain Glory. The cubes stay where they are.

Only the ones in the army.

No. An army can hold 1 relic per military unit, so a single unit controls only 1 of those relics. The second relic sits unclaimed.

You can recruit up to 2 extra units in a single recruit action.

No. Without a Barracks, infantry are unavailable. The extra slots do not change availability requirements.

5. The base limit with 3 Barracks is 3, and this adds 2 on top.

No. All units recruited in one action must be the same type.

Yes. In fact exhausted vessels that have already done their job are usually the best candidates.

Yes.

It's destroyed. Sacrificing the vessel is the cost of dealing the 2 damage.

No. The 2 damage is dealt directly to objects next to the vessel, with no cubes drawn.

Yes. The 2 damage goes to adjacent objects regardless of who they belong to. If there are not enough enemy objects to absorb it all, the rest hits your own or allied objects.

One from an earlier age, deck I or II. It goes to your hand.

No. Only from the undealt deck.

No. You still need to research them. Researching a technology from hand is a free action, but you still pay the resource cost.

Yes. Mead is a product, so the discount cuts the fee from 2 Mead to 1.

Speed. By chaining turns you can act repeatedly before opponents get a chance to respond - racing to claim an instant achievement first, pressing an attack before anyone reinforces, or locking down a defense before the round moves on.
