Bombard and cards

Simple question, if on a map such as Feudal Epic I bombard a tert from my castle down to 0 and then it resets to 1 immediately, do I get a card at the end of the turn for that or do I actually have to conquer the tert and hold it to get the card?

(sorry if this has been asked before, I did do a search but couldn't find anything)

Yes, you get a card if you just bombard and don't conquer anything.

You have now figured out the secret of the Feudal maps. Go forth and conquer!

Haha, I've played with noobs like you before :)

The important thing is to learn and listen to those that have more experience. You can see their rank and you can see how many games they've played on a map. If either or both of those things are higher than yours, you can probably learn something. Offer to play another game with the guy and take his advice. You might make a friend and/or a long-term teammate. Plus, higher ranked folks love playing with lower ranked folks who are willing to learn, cuz it's good for our points :)

Hate to ask the obvious, but it also seems as if you can bombard a region that you bombarded the previous turn:

2012-06-12 02:31:53 - XXXXX deployed 6 troops on ?
2012-06-12 02:32:08 - XXXXX bombarded ? from ? and annihilated neutral player's troops
2012-06-12 02:32:25 - XXXXX ended the turn and got spoils

And he got a card!

So I assume all he had to do is Auto - assault a region for a card.

If a region has a singe neutral on it, how else do you know for sure that you captured it and it reset to neutral 1 again?

Going to make it more fun to take the last 7 regions from him, but very very nice to know this for MY future games.

You don't need to auto assault that 1 neutral. Just make 1 attack and look at the dice and log to see if you bombarded succesfully. If not attack again.

And you indeed also get a Spoil if you bombard a neutral. It's just the same as any other region. This is used as a tactic in some maps (Feudal for instance).

If you bombard a region you don't capture it you only make it become a neutral 1. Bombarding a territory removes the troops on that territory and makes it become a n1. You do not gain that region.

So if you bombard a territory it will be n1 and remain n1 until someone assaults it. If it is not assaulted it stays a n1. (This would not be true if it is a neutral reset in which case it would reset to whatever the neutral reset is).

So to answer your question you can never capture a region by bombarding you can only capture by assaulting from a region which can attack the region in question. Bombarding it does not gain you that region.
