Carried into Exile

"Capture a human (or two humans if used by a Babylonian)."

My opponent makes a rescue attempt and I block with a Babylonian, there are no other evil characters or heroes in play. I play Carried into Exile ("Capture a human [or two humans if used by a Babylonian].") Am I forced to capture my own evil character, or can I only capture his hero?

It does not say "may" so you would have to do as much as you can, which in this case would mean you have to capture both. It would still count as a win for the EC though, since mutual by removal is a win for the EC. If you played it against a Jacob/Gabriel band, Gabriel would win the battle, since you are taking out yourself and Jacob.

I would normally agree, but I don't know if the "or" provides an extra option for Babylonians or an extra requirement for Babylonians.

the clause that says "(or two if used by a Babylonian)" is basically a trigger that changes the meaning of the ability. It's not the same as saying "may" in any way.

If used by a Babylonian, does it do
"Capture two humans."
or
"Capture one or two humans."
?

Hm... I wasn't aware that you can capture yourself. I've got to try to find an advantage to this...  ;D

He is referring to when you capture your own heroes. Like blocking with Idolators and capturing your Aaron would send Aaron to your RC, and when your opponent won a battle, Aaron would return to your territory. In this case it would not work, because you are capturing your EC; you are correct about that

Yes, RC can only capture heroes, not ECs.  But self capture to win battles does work.

Yeah, but that's completely irrelevent to the discussion. I'm gonna try to find an advantage to capturing my own EVIL character. Here goes...

Well, if you need to give your opponent an LS, you could capture your EC and then use King Asnappar.

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Pale Green • Ability: 11 / 7 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: You may capture an Egyptian or a Syrian, or you may transfer a captured character from your territory to opponent’s Land of Bondage.
