"in order to ignore a multi color character you must ignore all of it's brigades."
So I'm kinda baffled. Mark, do you remember what that quote I showed you at the end of our discussion was?
Ignoring one color ignores all, but being immune to one color does not make you immune to the others.
Yes. Your character cannot be affected by ANY character or Enhancement bearing that brigade.
It makes sense that ignoring one brigade of a multicolor card would be enough to get the benefit of (3) and (4). But since you aren't immune to a card unless you are immune to all of it's brigades, wouldn't you not gain the effects of (1) and (2) unless you ignore all of their brigades?
1 and 2 are analogies. Ignore is different from Immune.
Why? If I'm ignoring gray, how can Antiochus - who is gray - enter battle?
You might want to read my post again. I was saying that the "cannot enter battle" part would keep Antiochus out of battle, but that the "they can't hurt each other" part would not work.
However, I don't remember ever describing ignore as mutual immunity + win. Can you link to the thread where the discussion ended as such so I can review?
3) protects the ignored card and ignoring cards from each other
2. If during the battle phase, I ignore one of those brigades, while Antiochus is blocking, then I ignore all of him, black and gray, correct?
So I wouldn't be able to play a black brigade enhancement on an Antiochus in that situation, right?
I like the 4-part definition of ignore, but I think that you should get ALL 4 parts of the ability when you ignore a multi-color character.I don't really like the rule that you have to be immune to all brigades to be immune to a multi-colored character, especially if you can ignore a multi-colored character by ignoring only one color. It seems very inconsistent to me.

QuoteI don't really like the rule that you have to be immune to all brigades to be immune to a multi-colored character, especially if you can ignore a multi-colored character by ignoring only one color. It seems very inconsistent to me.I think there are always going to be parts of the game that can seem inconsistent depending on how you look at them. I think the key here is the difference between protection and targeting.The way I look at it:A multi-color character is like having a very large, powerful warship. It has lots of weapons to use but is also easy to shoot at because of its size. Because of its size it makes a lot of sound, is easy to see, gives off a lot of heat, etc. If I want to attack it, I can use any kind of targeting system because of its multiple signatures. Simalirly, it is easy to target and ignore/capture/discard a multi-color character.On the other hand, if I want to be protected from it, it is very difficult. Sure I'm protected from its 24" guns but then it shoots missiles at me. I submerge my ship to protect me from missiles but then it launches torpedos at me. In comparison, immunity may protect me from their blue, purple, and green weapons but he then uses a gold weapon and I'm done for.
What color are the ship's offense numbers?
If I am immune to blue, am I not immune to the character that is blue?
