The Aedui will take advantage of Avaricum's prosperity and friendliness via the Event on the card. Allies at Pictones and Mandubii [Alesia]. Replace Ally with Citadel at Bituriges [Avaricum]. +5 Resources, by my count.

StashAugustine posted:That's not a card I really wanted to see. I don't suppose I can convince the Aedui to pass? I don't understand what the card does that worries you. A free command is . . . not that big a deal, especially since it doesn't include Special Abilities. If Ambiorix is going to attack you with it, all this does is save him 1 Resource, and prevent him from Ambushing. And you get to consolidate your forces this turn, before he goes. What am I missing?

Edited for the real text: • Romans: Subdued plus Dispersed plus Roman Allied Tribes exceeds 15. • Arverni: Off-map Legions (Fallen, plus on the Legions Track, plus removed by Event) exceed six and Arverni Allied Tribes plus Arverni Citadels exceeds eight. • Aedui: Aedui Allied Tribes plus Citadels exceeds those of each other Faction (Gallic, Germanic, and Roman; do not count Forts). • Belgae: Total Belgic Control Value (Tribe spaces under Belgic Control, regardless of Allies, and neither Dispersed nor Suebi) plus Belgic Allies and Citadels exceeds 15.

So, uhh, I know my turn is done, but if it's ok, I'd rather actually move all of them to Arverni. If anyone is against it, that's fine too. I . . . sort of forgot that Scout required them to move into Arverni.
