Title: Over all the earth
Post by: stefferweffer on February 17, 2011, 03:54:19 PM
0/0 Black territory-class evil enhancement

Place in your territory.  On each of your turns you may give one of your human evil characters the permanent identifier - "Greek", and Black brigade.

Daniel 2:39 "then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth."


(Supposed to represent Alexander's spread of the Greek language, religion, and culture.)

I like this card in that we need more Greeks and this would be just the card to do it.

Love the idea! I'd word it like this:

"If played by a Greek King, place in your territory: each turn one of your Evil O.T. Humans gains Black and the 'Greek' identifier until Converted."

The "until Converted" bit is to head people off at the pass who would try to make a case for a Black Hero.

I don't think that's necessary. A hero that gains two additional brigades from that one set aside (I forget the name) does not keep those brigades if converted to evil, so I would assume the same works in reverse.

I do rather like the card, though. :)

The problem here is the necessary inclusion of the word "permanently" to show that the gain lasts for more than just the turn previously mentioned on the card. "Until Converted" is also a good way to say "while it remains in play or set-aside" while being shorter and also overly-clear.
