The Ruined City Question

L5R CCG Rules board, 30 July 2007 to 1 August 2007

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

I apologize if this has already been addressed, when using the Ruined City, "Battle: Bow a target unit with zero total Force or with the lowest non-zero total Force (including ties) among all units at the current battlefield." if the lowest force unit is already bowed and this action is used again, would it just affect the bowed unit again or would it then bow the next lowest forced unit?

See the announcements, please.

A unit’s Force is the total of the Forces of each unbowed Personality and Follower in the unit, or 0 if all Personalities and Followers in it are bowed.

A bowed unit generally has 0 force.
