Assyrian Camp
Evil Fortress
Holds 1 Assyrian King or Commander
While occupied, protect Assyrian Evil Characters in your territory from discard, conversion, and opponent's characters. Each Upkeep Phase the same character is held here, place a counter here (limit 3). Once per Battle Phase if an Assyrian blocks 2 or more Heroes, Holder may remove a counter to return a Hero to Owner's Territory.
Same Reference.

Tartan's second ability now require a Assyrian King in play. (The reason I redid Tartan is every time I would post an Assyrian defense, he would be one of the first cards they suggest be taken out. His second ability was only useful if your opponent played with Philistines)

Rabs requires another Assyrian in play (making him similar to Nergal who has practically the same ability)

Sargon now needs 3 Assyrians in territory to make X and Y CBN

Spear's wording is fixed.

Updated with a redo of their protect fort.

Changed the first two characters up some.

I'm thinking of changing the second part of Assyrian Camp to something like this: "Each Upkeep Phase the same character is here, place a counter here (limit 3). When an Assyrian blocks more than one Hero, remove one counter to return a Hero to Owner's Territory"

This would make it unique and be a neat way to stop the long banding chains and the famous PhilBart. I chose this type of ability due to Assyrians being more return to hand or territory, while Babylonians are more capture driven.

Should this say "if an Assyrian blocks 2 or more Heroes"?

I love it. It's more powerful than most protect forts, but requires an investment.
