Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

When do we choose the new Milestone and Award tiles?

Before dealing any cards, choose 5 Milestone tiles and 5 Award tiles to replace those printed on the board. If playing with Venus, add Venuphile and Hoverlord as normal (p. 1).

Do I just need to meet a Milestone requirement, or do I still pay the claim cost?

You must have at least the listed requirement in play when claiming, and you still pay the normal claim cost. Briber costs 20 M€ total: its 12 M€ payment plus the normal 8 M€ claim cost (p. 2).

Do facedown event cards or their tags count toward Milestones and Awards?

No: facedown events and their tags never count, unless a rule specifically says otherwise. Wild tags do not count when determining Award winners (pp. 2–3).

For Hydrologist, do the oceans I placed belong to me?

You need to have placed 4 oceans; use your owner markers on them until Hydrologist is claimed. The marker does not make an ocean tile yours (p. 2).

When is the Benefactor Award scored?

If Benefactor is in play, count it before all other Awards and Milestones. It goes to the player with the highest Terraform Rating (p. 3).

For an Award like Landscaper, do I count every tile I placed?

No. For Landscaper, each player counts only their largest connected group of tiles (p. 4).
