Rulings
- Reduces the cost of actions that produce token followers (e.g., Farmlands). [JA, 8 October 2000] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 100
- Q: What if I'm attaching the token to a Personality who reduces his or her Followers' Gold costs? A: Same answer: The cost of using Farmlands' action is separate from the token's Gold cost and doesn't go down. (There are one or two Personalities, like the Experienced Hida Tsuru, who give a discount to "attaching" Followers instead of to the Followers themselves.) It actually is cheaper to use something like Farmlands on them. They're the exception, though.) The Imperial Herald, Issue 17, p. 40
