I'm glad you said "gold" and not "Egyptian," since it won't work for Egyptians.

Meaning more of my herods being able to block ms. Mariam.

Ruling question!

If someone has the protect sites card out, and I use axe to try to discard his fortress, since his sites are protected he must discard his fortress, yes?

4 of the garden tomb heroes are white? Yay Mary Mag is coming back as is Joanna!

The below is my "work" on the sites.

Nice.......this is gonna be fun.
Since we have a new White and Purple site known to us, I would guess the next three to be -
1 - Red
2 - Green
3 - Blue
I don't think Silver or Teal fit well with the partial something something hint. Gold would be my alternate pick to Blue.
Just my quick thoughts and guesses.

Godspeed,
Mike

I want to clarify something now that was brought up when Kir and Herod's Dungeon were made: Do sites need to have Lost Souls in them to work? The current REG says yes, but I'm not sure about Duke nuk - er, the new REG. That would add some pleasant strategy to the game, but at the same time, I want to be able to use Golgotha AS EASILY AS POSSIBLE. I am SICK of TGT SO MUCH.

Also, I have to say, if another year went by without serious counters to TGT, I was considering taking a break from the game. This has appeased me, at least as long as TGT does not get any more cheap tricks.

And I am going to guess that "Ca..." is Capernaum, and thus is probably red (Centurion), which if true probably means that Red will get some site-clinching power in this set. (Or it might be Blue or Gold, as those are the only good brigades I can think of with cards that affect opponents' sites (Jacob's Dream and Vengeance of Eternal Fire).)

This article was spoilerific. It was definitely worth the wait.

The current REG is wrong.

Multi-color sites only work in battle.
Single color sites only work in territory.

Neither has an "occupied" requirement to work.

Unless the site says, "While this site is occupied"....

I'm gonna like these sites. Too bad I can't afford 'em

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #20 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:43:57 PM »

Quote from: article

With Golgotha and Ca..., er, that other new site, players who use N.T. evil characters will have little to fear from ignore abilities.

I am going to guess that Ca... is either short for Calvary (because that would fit with Golgotha as the other name for the place where Jesus died).

I'll leave you with a little game. See if you can guess the brigade colors on these site previews. One further clue: all the sites in The Disciples set are different brigades. For an extra challenge, see if you can figure out the references and the site titles for the first two cards.:

Guess my title Korazin
guess-my-color Site Gold
SPECIAL ABILITY: Protect [ECs] from conversion. Something else.
SCRIPTURE: [For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,] they would have repented [long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.] Luke 10:13

Guess my title Nazareth
guess-my-color Site Green
SPECIAL ABILITY: Protect [ECs] from shuffle by an opponent. Protect [opponent's deck] from search abilities.
SCRIPTURE: something something A prophet is not without honour, [in his hometown] Mark 6:4 or Matthew 13:57

guess-my-color Site Process of elimination makes me guess Blue but not much to go on here.
SPECIAL ABILITY: Protect something from capture and discard abilities on opponent's cards. Something else.

These are my guesses based on the clues. I repeat they are only guesses. No spoilers here.

robm · « **Reply #21 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:49:16 PM »

nice article.

I must say I am not looking forward to this site.

Thanks for biblegateway for helping me figure the verses out!

As for the other sites.

The first one has to be gold.
Guess my title (Tyre or Sidon)
guess-my-color Site (Gold)
SPECIAL ABILITY: Protect evil Characters from conversion. Protect sites from discard?
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11:21 ...tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Guess my title (Synagogue, Foreign Country)
(Green) Site
SPECIAL ABILITY: Protect (evil Characters) from shuffle by an opponent. Protect (deck )from search abilities.
SCRIPTURE: (Matthew 13:57 or Mark 6:4 Jesus Said), A prophet is not without honour, (but in his own country)

For the sake of guessing I am going to say teal for the last site.
Well thats what I came up with anyway. Wonder if I got any of it right?

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2010, 03:01:28 PM »

I really hope you guys are wrong on the green site's SA, I hope it says in territory (although that'd be a little redundant with the color guard). Then, it'd stop ANB but green would still be viable in t2.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #23 on:** July 05, 2010, 03:02:24 PM »

I've got wind of another card:
Something
(possible) abilities: */Something else
SA: Something
Verse: Unsure, but from NT or OT for sure. Possibly Apocryphal?

*something
