Any building that had been constructed on the Age of Faith board could potentially be destroyed by the time shadow of a building constructed during the Age of Might when it ripples. It had never really existed in the new reality.

The rippling of a Military or Religious building is forbidden in two instances:

If a Military or Religious building, constructed on the Age of Might board violates the Rule of Dominion on the Age of Faith board, the building does not cast a shadow and the building is not rippled. The Age of Faith in this instance defies Might.

The blue player’s Monastery, constructed on the Age of Might board, is not rippled forward to the Faith board because the rippled building would violate the Rule of Dominion that prohibits the junction of domains by the creation of a Religious or Military building.

If a Military or Religious building, constructed on the Age of Might board violates the Rule of Hierarchy on the Age of Faith board, the building does not cast a shadow and the building is not rippled. The Age of Faith in this instance overrules of the Age of Might.

C- DOMAIN

TRANSFORMATION

a- CONNECTING DOMAINS.

Whenever a civil building, during a construction or upgrade, links domains, a junction is created.

When a junction takes place, the Hierarchical rule must be respected: the most prestigious (of highest value) Military and Religious buildings must be unique within this new, larger domain. In the event that there is more than one prestigious building:

During the Age of Might :

The player provoking the junction calculates the Military power of the original domains (meaning the sum of the values of all Military buildings) no matter who the owner of those buildings is individually. If one domain is more powerful than the others, the buildings within the weaker domains are downsized. (See Downsizing a building).

In the event of equal power, the building(s) to be downsized would be in priority those of the player who caused the junction or if the player has no building affected by the violation of the Hierarchical rule, the building the player chooses.

The player proceeds in the same manner if the Hierarchical rule is not respected for Religious buildings.

During the Age of Faith :

The procedure is identical but the player who has provoked the junction verifies the Rule of Hierarchy for the Religious buildings first, then the Military buildings.

During the Age of Reason:

The Rule of Hierarchy does not apply.

The Red player uses Civil Construction cards to build a Hamlet and thusly creates the

 

junction between two domains on the Age of Might board. Two Keeps are now present within

 

the new domain, which is contrary to the Rule of Hierarchy.
