The Tower: how to exchange followers

[mdjvz]

When one player (e.g. red) has captured different type of followers (follower, head man, pig and/or builder) from another player (e.g. green), what happens when green captures a follower from red. How are they exchanged? Which green follower is exchange with the just captured red follower?

Welcome to the forums!

I was absolutely sure that there was an FAQ about this, but I can't find it for the life of me. So you'll have to take my word that it's official ;-)

What I recall is that you decide which of your followers you want back. So in the example you gave, green decides which of the followers is exchanged for the red one s/he just captured.

(If anyone can remember where they might have seen this one before, I'd really be interested to know.)

btw, pigs and builders are no longer considered to be followers by either HiG or RGG. If you check out the downloads section, there's you'll find a summary of the latest changes…

Hope that helps!

ok, thx!

maybe a stupid question, but when I get to the rules question a password is asked, where can I find/get that?

The post here (from the General forum) should tell you everything you need to know.

I remember that being the case as well.  Now just to find it...

This rule is now stated explicitly in the (bix box) annoted rules, page 34, see footnote 103
