A player, 4 September 2007

I was playing today and had a doubt about my stronghold (Eastern Hub Port).

Let's assume I declare an attack with my random naval peep and attach a item to him as a battle action. Do this battle count for one of the four battles I have to do for the Ring of Water? I had that doubt cause I don't really know the name of the card that is performing the action.

Eastern Hub Port

Equipping is a Battle/Open action for you. After the first Battle action resolves each turn that attached a card to one of your Personalities: You may take an additional Battle action.

Ring of Water

After you successfully resolve your fourth or later Battle action from cards with different titles in one battle: you may put this card into play from your hand. Battle: Bow this card or discard it from your hand: Move one of your target units home or to a battlefield with one or more enemy units. If the unit moved, straighten it.

No. Eastern Hub Port has a trait, not an action. (Fixed.)
