Just played and my wife was the Queen of the Blades and took control of three areas of conquest points, her sheet said she needed 3 to win by special victory, but my referance sheet said she needed 4 which was not possible in our current board. Do you need 3 as her sheet says, or four like my sheet says?

If you look on the FAQ and errata sheet (provided on FFG site) it states that only three conquest points are required. The referece sheet has an error on it. I had the same problem my first game

Also, if you don't have enough areas to complete a special objective available on the board, then having all of that type counts for the special victory. For example if you were the queen of blades and there were only two conquest point areas on the board, you would win in stage three if you controlled both of the areas.

Thanks for a quick response, That helped, I did not know that was there.
