Yes, your home card(s) is just like any other card in that you always have the option as to what to play it for--event or CPs.

[Drakken]

Nevermind. I have a "scientician" available in my pool.

So turning my Home Card "Patron of Arts and Science" over. I Place Mercator on the 3CP Science Resolution Tab.

I choose the option to draw two cards from the deck, to give one to the power of my choice. Right?

[Habbaku]

It's an either/or option for your home card, Drakken.  You don't get to select both options.

Has our crypto swede even read the rulebook?

Ah okey, I thought the Patronage was mandatory, and I had to choose one type of card draw.

Okey, I'll draw two cards, and give one card to the power of my choice. No patronage.

The power I choose pick one at random, or I can give one particular card to that power?

[Drakken]

Has our crypto swede even read the rulebook?

What's written on the card was unclear.

If they think I'm that bad, they can vote to boot me.

[katmai]

Don't mind me Drakken, i'm just the peanut gallery.

Starting to wonder about that...

[Habbaku]

It's your choice which card to give.  If a card draw is random, it will say it is random.

[Drakken]

Starting to wonder about that...

Even if we were at a table after reading the rules, I'd still ask beginner questions. I don't like it either to be the total newb here.

Anyway, I'm done for this impulse. Two cards drawn, and one card from my hand was handed to Spain.

BTW Berkut, I still expect to get paid. You'll understand why.

Off to the Protestants.

Preached Sermon in Netherlands. Utrecht, Maastricht and Arnhem convert. Unrest in Maastricht.

[Tamas]

while pondering how to most effectively send the Spanish galley fleet underwater,...

Critical to this is to make sure I don't build any troops in the Netherlands. That is the key to this strategy, so you are doing very well.

You could ship troops there, as it would be your duty, you are just slacking off and making silly excuses

[Tamas]

Playing my other home card for 5 CPs

1/5: naval move, 5 galleys and Piyale Pasha move to North African coast.

Now Berkut has an option regarding interception since he has a -1 modifier if taking along his ocean-going ships. So I must wait for him before proceeding

[Tamas]

Very dissappointing, Emperor. We have left an unguarded border with you to showcase our dedication to peace and harmony, and you fortify yours.

Nowhere have we discussed with the Sultan's emissaries about leaving unguarded borders as a token of goodwill.

If the Sultan wishes to send his Vizir in an embassy to discuss about this, though, he is free to do so in due time.

I was talking shit, relax 

[Tamas]

Ottoman: Message
Interception failed, so:

4/5: naval transport Sokolku and 5 regulars from Choron to Tunis, starting a siege
5/5: naval move, lone galley from Ionian Sea to North African Coast

Yeah, it is sort of a give-up move.

Berkut is up.
