I don't think it needs an errata. If you, by some miracle, have all 5 of your copies of DoM in your and, AND have HP in play, AND there's 5 heroes in play that AREN'T protected from capture (yay for protect forts) then I think it's perfectly fine to use all 5 DoMs at one time, though probably pointless.


Besides, even if it DID receive an Errata, in t2 you can still play with 3 in your deck. That's only 2 less DoMs you can play in territory. That's not THAT big of a difference.

there are only 2 protect forts that come to mind...z-temple and obadiahs caves. but i suppose there are protect arts as well.

youre restricting youself to dom alone and neglecting the other captures (stocks, slave trade, and esau for raiders camp abuse...not to mention sin in the camp for further high places exploitability). 5-6 captures in one turn per copy of high places can be devestating in t2.  factor in the fact dom keeps one heroes copies locked out forever until its removed from lob and the other captures to clean up any other straggling heroes...high places can really wreck havoc.

You're right, those're the only 2 good protection forts that effect your whole territory. But you can also put heroes into Stronghold in the Desert, House in Bethany, and Kerith Ravine depending on your strategy. There's also that gem Blue Tassels, among other useful artifacts.

also, if you're that worried, (and play none of the aforementioned strategies) then play a Babylonian or Assyrian defense. Or you could even -gasp- use the Shuffler lost soul to send them all back to your draw pile! -endgasp-

And ok, I'll give you that there are other capture cards, but the most you could play in any one turn is 14, assuming you have Tables of the Law active, a hand full of 10 captures, you draw 3, and have 1 in Storehouse. Perhaps you could get more via the drawing set asides, as well.

I still don't believe this card is overpowered. As has already been said, a good offense will LAUGH at a deck built on this strategy. If you're really really worried about it, then play one of the counters already listed, but if this one fortress causes you to lose tournaments and you get mad about it, then perhaps it's time to take up a different game. I hear checkers is fun.

Enough.
