The text in 30.924 has not been changed since the specific white tonkens was introduced, and should state white tokens. The question is if barbarians/pirates should have a limited amount of tokens, and if so if they should only have tha same amount as everyone else. With two sets of tradecards they appeare twice as often, but has only the same amount of tokens to use...
Velusion: Your input please!

(I am using the 18-Jul-2004 draft of 2.05 that Jonno has been working on. Shouldn't be different - if at all - from 2.04.)

] 23.34 When a player attacks a pirate city, the pirate city is
] replaced by white tokens solely for the purpose of resolving
] combat. If any such tokens survive the resulting combat, they are
] removed from the board.

In the original AdvCiv rules, this is "unused tokens".

] 30.924 ... When a pirate city is attacked, it is replaced by unused
] tokens solely for the purpose of resolving combat. After combat is
] resolved, any surviving pirate tokens are eliminated. ...

This is unaltered from the original AdvCiv rules and now different from 23.34.

In my proofreading notes, Jonno points out more clearly than I did the difference:


In my opinion, 30.924 should be altered to use "white tokens". A minor change, but definitely more consistant.
