Stronghold province

By Bayushi Shunsuke, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

Let's say you need to break the province that originally held the stronghold.

What happens when the new province the stronghold is on breaks?

What happens if you move the Stronghold to an already broken province? Is it discarded at the end of the round?

Stronghold cannot be discarded.

This has now been resolved, as per the stickied post in the forums; the stronghold cannot move, as per the updated rules. This is the best fix, IMO, and I'm super glad they did it this way.

It is a good fix in my opinion as well and seems to best fit with the RAI. It does make me worry about all the other items where someone has wondered something on the forums, someone asks the devs about it and posts the answer here as this is literally the opposite of that statement from earlier. I'm not expecting perfection and I fully expect especially day 1 at Gencon to have a lot of questions for the people running it about rules interactions. That's kind of what happens when you go from whatever the size of their playtester pool was to 700+ players at the tournament and many more online thinking all sorts of funky combos. There will always be some bumps I just hope that they are handled well at the con and that they take the ones from that and make sure to keep updating the FAQs and rules docs like this to remove the ambiguities.

I'm totally fine with good plays and surprise outs ending with my losing, I'm much less happy at the thought of losing because while I interpret Rule X one way the person who makes the call interprets it another way especially if a later FAQ or update proves me right in the first place. It's probably going to happen to at least someone but situations like that are never pretty.

When asked a question using the support email historically they usually give the requestor a RAW answer. That was the RAW answer since the desired interaction required errata to the rulebook.
