Dung Collector outside of harvest

Post by hunwee »

I may have found a way to trigger Dung Collector outside of the harvest.

Consider these three cards:
  • Pig Breeder (A165): "When you play this card, you immediately get 1 wild boar. Your wild boar breed at the end of round 12 (if there is room for the new wild boar)."
  • Pure Breeder (D167): "You immediately get 1 wood. After each round that does not end with a harvest, you can breed exactly one type of animal. (This is not considered a breeding phase.)"
  • Dung Collector (E90): "Each time you get 2 or more newborn animals, you can pay 1 food to plow 1 field." (Clarification: "You must be able to accommodate each newborn in order to get it.")
Suppose I have all three in play. Round 12 does not end with a harvest, so at the end of round 12 both Pig Breeder and Pure Breeder (suppose I choose sheep) resolve.

My question is: Is this a single simultaneous event in which I "get 2 newborn animals", triggering Dung Collector, or two separate events of 1 newborn each, which would not trigger it?

Additionally:
  • If simultaneous: must I be able to accommodate both newborns at once, with no converting/releasing of animals in between? If separate: do I choose the order, and may I convert or release animals between the two breedings to make room? (I assume yes for both)
  • Since Pure Breeder lets me pick any one type, may I pick wild boar and get a second boar newborn in the same end-of-round-12 moment as Pig Breeder's?

Two separate events. The code has them in different windows: Pig Breeder triggers at end of round, Pure Breeder triggers after the round. So they don't combo. Even if they were the same window, it wouldn't currently work because Dung Collector is only listening to the breeding phase of the harvest.

Doesn't apply

Sorry I missed this - Pig Breeder happens first. You can do whatever you like in between them.
