Default Re: One Last question on routing

Hey thanks a lot.
Good.
But cant units fight more than once in the same round? (E.g. assassination, magic fights, normal fights, storming castles, sieging castles, or when 3 or more armies meet in one province? --> conceivably, if all 17 nations moved into one province during one turn (on a very bizarre map), a unit could fight in more than 20 battles?)

They do fight as often as necessary.

The terminology is a little confusing. Lets just lay it out specifically: A Turn is the most basic element and it is composed of Phases (magic, assasination, movement, combat, sieging, etc, etc). And then withing each Phase you can have some number of Battles.

So then certainly a single unit can fight multiple times in a Turn. They could fight in all the battle Phases: the Magic Phase, the Assassination Phase, Combat Phase, Storming Phase. That we know for sure.

As to whether a single unit can fight more than once in a single Phase? Definitely a victorious one can. We've seen that in the example you give, and also with multiple (failed) assassinations on the same leader.

As for routed units fighting again in a single Phase tho? They can fight again in a different phase, but as for the same phase? Still unknown.
