Title: sites or fortresses?
Post by: cooldudejsw on September 30, 2009, 11:10:05 AM

when i have a card that says to search deck for a site, can i search for a fortress? sometimes people refer to sites as fortresses but some people dont. i know i want the answer to be that a site is also considered a fortress but im really not sure...

Sites are totally different than fortresses.  Just use the symbol to tell between the two.  Sites = pyramids.

The only 2 exceptions are the old Kingdoms of this World and Goshen.  Those have the site icon, but they are forts.

Hooray for nitpicking!  ;D

Also, it can be confusing, because some Fortresses refer to themselves as Sites, and some other cards refer to Fortresses as Fortress Sites. But there is a definite distinction now between Fortresses and Sites, and cards that target Fortresses cannot target Sites, and cards that target Sites cannot target Fortresses.

Also, Kerith Revine refers to itself as a fortress and THEN as a site.  :D

Actually, it refers to itself as a Fortress, then a Site, and then a Fortress again ;)

(look, I'm nitpicking, too :P)
