The Lord Fights for You

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Red/Yellow • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set aside a Hero. Each upkeep phase while set aside, each player with more than one evil brigade in territory must discard an evil card in his territory.

The online REG defines territory as a players: Lost Souls, Evil Characters, Heroes, artifacts, fortresses and sites.

This brings me to two questions:

1: If a player has a black brigade evil character in play and a crimson curse activated, does this trigger the conditions for The Lord Fights for You?

2: If a player has an evil fortress (defined by a dark multicolor background), does this satisfy the "more than one evil brigade in territory condition?


Also.... according to this logic, would Emperor Vitellius work in this exact way?


Emperor Vitellius

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 10 / 1 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: You may draw X cards. Cannot be negated by a good card. • Attributes: NT Roman Emperor, Fought Earthly Battle, X=number of good brigades opponent has in play

Does that mean if your opponent has Dragon Raid in play, you can draw 8 cards??

1. That counts as two evil brigades.

2. No, that does not. Therwise Job overcomes would be the greatest card in the game.

I was just thinking ... take Emperor Vitellius for example:

Emperor Vitellius

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 10 / 1 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: You may draw X cards. Cannot be negated by a good card. • Attributes: NT Roman Emperor, Fought Earthly Battle, X=number of good brigades opponent has in play

Does that mean if your opponent has Dragon Raid in play, you can draw 8 cards??

1. Yes.
2. No. Fortresses do not count towards brigades for these purposes.
3. No.

Look at your artifact pile in the diagram from the rulebook. It is in terr.

Wait, sites count as evil brigades as well? Two Bears just got ten times more awesome...

The whole site issue is complicated. Technically, they have good brigades, and they're in your territory, but it seems they don't actually count as extra brigades for special abilities.

It's easier to think of it as "brigades on good cards" rather than "good brigades". Dragon Raid most certainly has the eight good brigades, but they don't count for the purposes of Vitellius etc. because they're on a neutral card. Goshen is a good card, but has no brigade, so it doesn't count for the purposes of Vitellius, etc.

Sites aren't evil brigades.

Also, Two Bears targets evil brigades, and...

Sites aren't evil brigades.
