RECOMMENDED ALTERNATE RULES
Provided by Jim Stults and friends (Thanks Guys!):
1. The manor has a battle value of 1.
2. Fate phase: Draw 3 cards and then discard 1.
3. Scutage: Maximum of 10 glory
4. Battle phase: An attacking player announces the land that they intend to attack.
If the battle is won, by the attacker, they gain control of that land.
If the battle is won by the defender, the attacker chooses a land to cede to the defender.
A player totals the value of all cards that they wish to commit to a particular combat
(whether attack or defense). These cards are set aside in an overlapping stack.
They may not be used for another combat until it is that players turn again.
They are assumed to be fighting on a particular front and unavailable to other fronts.
A defending player may opt to retreat. By retreating, the defender surrenders the targeted land.
Dice are not rolled, and no battle cards are discarded.
5. Card Numbers. 8 each of Foot Soldiers and Farms. 4 of Thieves and Banditry.
