Military settlement cost: bug or misinterpretation

Post by MRD90 »

I have in my tablaeu Galactic Trade Emissaries (settle military as normal world with -1 cost), Rebel Pact (-2 cost when using Military to non-Military Settle power), and Rebel Alliance (Settle Rebel Military world as normal world with -2 cost).

I wanted to end my game by settling Rebel Stronghold, thinking I would get -5 cost discount and it would cost 4, which I had exactly enough for. However I get to the phase and the game is asking for 5 which I can't afford, forcing me to Settle a less optimal world.

Is this a bug, or did I misinterpret a power? Is it because GTE and RA are rhebdame type of power that I could only use one or the other, and not combine their discounts?

You got it, GTE and RA do not stack. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/195378 ... 8#28485138

ErikLevin is correct. GTE and Alliance's powers are separate, which means you would have to choose one or the other. Therefore, Rebel Pact works with either one, but both can't be stacked.
