Report history
So you select one of the city supply spots, which automatically selects the factory, then select the inf tile.
THEN you select ANOTHER supply spot, it can be of the same type if you have any goods left on that factory
(that is what they meant by splitting).
That require 2 supply spots of the same goods in the region. This works as designed.
Please refer to BGG or look at my copy paste here:
The rules states that you allways can place an influence tile of lower value in the "Local market" action. I have two questions regarding that statement:
1) Can I take a good from a level three factory and use it as for instance an influence 1 tile?
2) If yes; can I then straight away continue by replacing that excact tile with an influence 2 tile and then end the action with an influence 5 tile resulting in gaining three times area bonus by spending only three goods.
According to the rules I do not see any problem doing it but still it "feels wrong" and maybe the intension is that you only can place a tile of lower value inside the factory level using the table on the main board and then only be able to take the area bonus two times by spending three goods.
Michael.
First of all, and as a rule of thumb, you may only replace an influence tile by using a bigger one. For example, it is only possible to replace an influence "2" by using, at least, an influence "3" tile.
The spirit of the rule means only that you can always, at your free will, which means that even if you can do the 'normal' usage of an influence tile, place a lower valued tile.
Back to your direct questions:
1. Yes you may.
2. Yes, it's possible. The thing is that you really end up in the region with an influence "5" tile instead of having more than that, for example, a "5" and a "6" spending 1 + 2 goods. It's not a very common move as it's hard to state that any given bonus in a region could be better than having an influence "6" there (following your example) but you may do it.
Hope that helps.
