kettlefish - December 09, 2013, 15:37You have some work to do with the expansion "princess and the dragon".I have to look at 4 different versions of the rule and also at 3 different BigBox rules.Sometimes it isn't an easy job...The expansion "princess and the dragon" has so much text and the rules changed here and there...
obervet - December 09, 2013, 19:34I have started working on the updates to Princess and the Dragon. I didn't realize that there were so many different versions of the rules from HiG. I should go look and see how the ZMG version compares too, since RGG kept using the older rules for the Princess tiles.
obervet - December 09, 2013, 19:43 I just looked at the ZMG rules, and they kept the old rule for the Princess -- the player must remove a knight if there is one to remove. They also kept some of the incorrect Fairy rules, so it seems like they mostly just copied the RGG rules rather than translating a newer version of the HiG rules.
kettlefish - December 09, 2013, 19:49Yes even the tower at Z-man games has the old rules.I think also the Traders and Builders (builder and pig)...I talked to Moritz today and told him that we (the community)have problems, because of the "old" or "new" rules.What is now the "right" rule...But I do my best and look which of the rules are the "newest".And what is also important from an older version of the rules...The princess is really not easy.But yes I know - Z-man games has the old rule "must" or "have to" remove a follower.Perhaps the CAR needs two colours of the rule:one colour with the zman games rule and one colour with the HiG rule, and than we have also the rules from RGG...
obervet - December 10, 2013, 04:24Putting major rules differences in a different color, rather than just in footnotes, might be a good idea. I'll have to think about that and see how complicated it would be to add that to the CAR.

I'll have to think about that and see how complicated it would be to add that to the CAR.I think it would be best to stay loyal to one rule set (HiG) and footnote the variances, as we have been doing. I believe adding color coding in an effort to include the variations within the text would be very cumbersome to read and would ultimately be confusing. IMHO Such a conflict in the rules should be treated as any other bit that requires clarification. The footnotes are used to indicate the clarification is necessary/pending. I believe rule variations should be handled the same way.
We have in the footnotes the double arrow. Perhaps it can get different colours.
obervet - can you make the footnote reference number in a different color, without changing the color of the text in the main document?
