## Rules questions

### Can I place an Agent on a space that already has another player's agent?

No — when you take an Agent turn you play a card to place an Agent on a matching, unoccupied space; you cannot place on a space already occupied unless a card or ability specifically allows it. (p. 9)

### When do Reveal turns happen and what do I resolve on a Reveal?

A Reveal turn happens when you choose Reveal instead of placing an Agent: reveal your hand, resolve Reveal effects and gain Persuasion, set your combat strength, then perform cleanup. (pp. 8, 12)

### How is combat strength calculated and what happens in ties?

You set combat strength during the Reveal (base combat icons from cards/board plus troops/sandworms and any played Combat Intrigue cards are added); resolve Combat rewards per the Combat phase rules and apply tie-resolution and battle-icon rules for ties. (pp. 12, 14)

### How do Spies work — where can I place them and can I recall them?

Spies are placed using Spy-specific Agent options (Infiltrate/Gather Intelligence) and occupy spy spaces with their own placement and recall rules; they are recalled according to the Spy placement/recall procedure described. (p. 11)

### What is Persuasion and how do I spend it?

Persuasion is the currency you gain on a Reveal to purchase cards and spend on the Imperium Row or other card acquisitions; after purchases the Imperium Row is refilled per the card acquisition rules. (p. 13)

### How do sandworms affect Combat rewards — do they double rewards?

Sandworms can affect Combat rewards — certain sandworm effects double rewards for the Combat or change reward placement, and Makers’ sandworm interactions are explained in the Combat and Makers examples. (pp. 14–15)
