Rules Q&A

• Q: Can two different fortifications be attached to one province? For example, an Empty Crevasse and a Poorly Placed Garden? Or only one fortification per province?
  A: You can have as many as you want, provided they all have different titles. Jeff Alexander, "post for 12 May 2003", 13 May 2003
• Q: Hi, a couple questions about Otomo Ambassadors.
  Can I give control of one of my fortification, let's say, Empty Crevasse or Rebuilt Temple to my opponent upon playing Otomo Ambassadors ?
  A: As long as it produces Gold, yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 April 2003", 30 Apr 2003
• Q: Can a player retrieve an Empty Crevasse when Restoring the Doji Treasury resolves? If so, where can she attach it?
  Possibile answers: Yes, you can put it on any of your provinces. Yes, you can only put it on the province that revealed RtDT (opponents may not get an Empty Crevasse) No. Yes, to any province in play (quite unlikely).
  A: You can put it on any of your provinces. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for November 15th", 15 Nov 2000
• Q: From private mail...

  So, even pretending that an Empty Crevasse had a trait which could be applied as a benefit to all of your provinces (which they dont'), you would still need to bow the 'real' Crevasse to generate its gold, and you could not then bow it again to generate more.
  Just as a question: "the traits of all of your non-Unique Fortifications are in effect..."
  Does that include the "bold" traits? (What I mean is, if I need to _count_ the number of Fortifications at a Province, will I only count the "real" Fortifications [basically meaning the "bold trait" "Fortification" isn't "in effect"], or all of them? There are several cards that count the number of Fortifications at a Province)
  A: Even the bold traits are in effect, but I don't think that will fool cards that look to see how many Forts are attached to a specific province. No matter whether the traits are in effect or not, they're still only attached in one place. So, cards that look to see how many cards are 'at' or 'attached' to the province currently being resolved will not count Forts whose effects are in place due to Kaiu Sensei.

• Q: I think I know my answers, but better to ask than to assume...
  #1 A player resolves Restoring the Doji Treasury. I choose to bring an Empty Crevasse into play. Do I get to choose which of my (legal) provinces it attaches to?
  #2 I bring Yasuki Otsuka into play and choose to trigger his reaction, targeting a fortification in my discard pile. Do I get to choose which of my (legal) provinces it attaches to?
  A: Yes to both, by extension from various other rulings about Fortifications. Alex Jones, "Fortification questions", 29 Jun 2010
