Title: Inheritance and on-buy / overpay
Post by: Chris is me on October 22, 2016, 12:14:50 pm
Say you inherit Herald. Can you overpay for Estate?

My hypothesis is: no. You overpay when buy, but estate doesn't become herald until you gain.

But let's see what the experts say.

I can tell you what MF says! It says you can totally overpay for Estate. This seems really wrong, intuitively.

When you buy / gain abilities work with the Estate, this is in the Inheritance FAQ. The example there is Port, you get a Port when you buy an Estate after Inheriting Ports.

You can overpay, it's "when you buy".
