Title: Official ruling on King of Tyrus
Post by: The Guardian on September 24, 2009, 07:42:50 PM: After a long discussion, Rob and the playtest group have decided that at this point the following definitions will be used regarding "kings" and "royalty."

King:
1. A human King, Tetrarch or Pharaoh, or a demon with "King" in the title. (Emperors are not kings.)

Royalty
1. A human member of a royal family.

This means King of Tyrus is a "king" but is not royalty as only humans are considered royalty and have royal families.

Obviously we reserve the right to revisit this if necessary. Thanks for your patience!

He can also now be targeted by Ehud's Dagger (RoA) so it's not just a benefit for him ;)

King David is a Hero. Heroes don't block. Then again, Emperors usually don't attack so... ::)

Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 24, 2009, 11:39:36 PM: For the less informed people on the board (read Me.) What exactly does Tetrarch entail? Do Herod's fall under that category?

Post by: SirNobody on September 24, 2009, 11:53:26 PM: Hey,

Some of the Herods were Kings, some of the Herods were Tetrarchs. So in Redemption, all Herods are Kings.

Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation of tetrarch, it's basically the "king" of a fourth of a kingdom.

Post by: The Guardian on September 25, 2009, 12:42:32 AM: A quote from something Bryon posted in the discussion:
Quote
Herod the Great was a King. After he died, his kingdom was divided into 4 territories ruled by Herods who were known as Tetrarchs (which means ruler over 1/4 of a kingdom). Some of the Gospel writers referred to those Tetrarchs as kings, so we can just call them all kings. Other gospel writers called them Tetrarchs, which is technically correct, but, as Rob hinted, might be confusing.

When the original Herod's (the great's) grandson, Herod Agrippa I, was of ruling age, he became a king of the whole area. His son, Agrippa II, became king after him.
