          I just got some cool TexP enhancments, and obviously I recognized they are a new card type. The little brief explanation on the packet of how they work does not really help.
     For example, I just got Herod's Treachery, does it stay on him until he is discarded or does it last only one battle and then is discarded?
     When am I allowed to play a territory card, during a battle only, or can I play it during preparation phase?
I just kind of need some extra explanation. 

If anyone can help, reply to this post!

You can play them during your preperation and discard phase outside of battle. You can also play them in battle. The ability on the card takes effect and is then discarded when used outside of battle, unless it says to do otherwise which Herod's Treachery does. HT stays on the EC you choose to place it on.

Herod’s Treachery
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Herod. That Herod may use evil Enhancements regardless of brigade. You may discard this card to force X Heroes to withdraw from battle. • Attributes: X = number of good brigades opponent has in play • Identifiers: None • Verse: Matthew 2:8 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

on a side note, that card has to be played on a Herod to use the second effect on the card.

Thank you all so much! 
So concerning the discarding, it pretty much stays there until appropriate discard time unless otherwise said?

Most territory class enhancements activate as soon as they are played, and then are immediately discarded. Ones that say "place", like Herod's Treachery, remain where they are placed until a special ability (its own or another one) removes it.
