Hi all,

as the "search" possibility frustrates me (is there a chance for searching just in specific forums?), i ask my question here and feel sorry, if anybody has already asked it.

i play empire and have:

City Gates (After your turn begins, place top card of deck as development in zone)
shrine to taal (after your turn begins, choose target unit in this zone, unit gains additional power equal to developments in this zone)
temple of shallya (at beginning of kingdom phase move one unit to different zone)
random unit

i guess, as im the active player i choose the order in which things triggering "after turn begins" happen? so i put a card as development into kingdomzone (City Gates) and afterwards put the power on the unit in that zone(shrine to taal)?

then the kingdom phase starts. what happens first:

taking resources for all power icons or
trigger from temple of shallya?

i used to grab for the treasure tokens first and then sometime put the unit with the additional power from shrine to taal into questzone for additional carddraw. nobody ever disagreed.

But for a peace of my conscience i want that procedure clarified by the community.

Am i acting correct or do i have to beg for mercy?

Gardine said:

The trigger would be first and then the resources as the resources is what you do during your kingdom phase and the action says at the start of the phase.

K, but the rules say:

"1. Kingdom Phase

First , the active player resets his resources by returning all of his unused resources to the centre of the playing area and then taking 1 resource for each power in his kingdom. The kingdom starts with a base power of three.

The active player also has the opportunity to restore any single corrupted card under his conrol at the beginning of his kingdom phase , before any player action can be taken.

Then both players have the opportunity to take actions ... "

As the "at the beginning of kingdom phase" restoring is in the second passage i guess mangaging the resources is at an earlier point, kind of prestep. or at least at the same time, so that you can dictate the order of triggering effects. and managing resources.

For me it reads like: First - Then - At the beginning

?

Post deleted. Misread the question.

This is a more detailed layout of the flow of a turn. I found it somewhere else in the forums (perhaps someone remembers who is the original poster). It should answer your question.
