During this phase of each Faction's Turn, you are kept informed of Events E EVENTS PHASE P 30 Any Noble, Royal Heir, Archbishop or Bishop who spends any part of a turn in an area affected by Plague under the Advanced rules may contract the disease and be slain. In addition, Mercenaries may desert if their leaders insist on trying to pass through plagueinfested regions. Raids, Revolts & Piracy Because of unrest in different parts of the Realm, Nobles may be forced to leave the armies they march with, in order to meet the threat. Nobles may be summoned because of their Title, or because of an Office or Bishop they hold. All forces associated with the summoned Noble move with him. Other Nobles in the same army do not move. If an Heir is present in an army split up through a summons of this kind, the Royal Heir remains with the Noble commanding the army The Noble moves immediately into the place named on the summons. If the location is no longer friendly, the Noble remains outside instead. If a Noble is summoned to two separate locations by virtue of (for example) his Title and his Office, he goes to the first location named by the Event.

This makes George of Clarence very easy to capture, since he has no defenders. If Herbert is in your Faction, with his Noble castle close to Cardigan, you can be reasonably sure of capturing Clarence. Use the Inspect function to check out a Town o r Castle before you attack. Use the most efficient force you have. Nobles/Armies Click the Right Mouse Button on a Noble's shield, and the Information Box displays the names of the Noble leading the army, any lesser Nobles or Royal Heirs with him, and this summary: @ii Castles, Cities & Towns When you Inspect a Castle, Town or City, you are shown an illustration, the place's name, and three pieces of information: C = Capacity: the maximum number of Troops the location can hold (excluding its own garrison); G = Garrison: the number of Troops the location adds to a defending Army; S = The current total of Troops present.

DEVIATION FROM THE BOARDGAME: In the course of devising this computer adaptation of the classic boardgame, some deviations from the original KINGDOM HEARTS rules were required. Those who are familiar with the original may wish to make note of the following deviations, as they can aff c strategy. The following is a brief summary-in no particular order--of these: et 1) If a noble is killed (through battle o r plague), upon return to play they will always be placed at their home castle, even if that castle is currently controlled by another faction (they are considered outside the castle in this instance). 2) If summoned by piracy or raid, the Admiral of England and/or the Warden of the Cinque Ports are not accompanied by their ships.
