Editing Kingdoms: Winter - Intrigue (section)

=Priority and Revealing Intrigues=
==Court Priority==

When the ''White Court'' has ''Priority'', all the White Court's ''Winter Intrigues'' are resolved before any of the Black Court's ''Winter Intrigues''.

When the ''Black Court'' has ''Priority'', all the Black Court's ''Winter Intrigues'' are resolved before any of the White Court's ''Winter Intrigues''.

As a reminder, White has Priority in Years 1,3,5,7,9 and 11, while Black has Priority in Years 2,4,6,8,10 and 12.

==Order of Attacks==

The active Court's '''Intrigue List''' is run through in order, from top to bottom, and resolved in that order.

==Resolving Intrigues==

To resolve if a Seelie Intrigue is successful or not, compare '''Attack Strength''' to '''Seelie Internal Security'''.

To resolve if an Unseelie Intrigue is successful or not, compare '''Attack Strength''' to '''Unseelie Internal Security'''.

If ''Attack Strength'' is equal or higher than the matched ''Internal Security'', then the ''Intrigue'' succeeds. The results are then usually revealed to all. The notable exception to this is '''Espionage''' - in this circumstance, the player controlling the Agent piece is told that he has been successful, but this is not public information. Indeed, for '''Espionage''' the enemy should not even be aware that any attack has taken place at all!

If ''Attack Strength'' is lower than the matched ''Internal Security'', then the ''Intrigue'' fails. The attempted Intrigue is then always revealed to all players.

If ''Attack Strength'' is at least 10 points lower than the matched ''Internal Security'', then the ''Intrigue'' fails spectacularly. As well as failing his mission, the ''Agent'' is captured!

Note that (at the start of the game, at least) itis very hard for an agent to succeed or to get captured, as by default a skilled Agent (such as a Bishop) will have an Attack Strength of 5, and run up against an ''Internal Security'' of 10. On the other hand, keep an eye on the state of play, as the capture of an enemy Rook or Queen tends to open up a myriad of intrigue possibilities!

Note also, that unlike ''War Defences'' for ''Summer Campaigns'', a single defending piece contributes to ''Internal Security'' against each and every ''Winter Intrigue'' that Winter.
