Re: Advantageous to Take a G34 Penalty

This gives you a 10 point plus opposing tower strength increase of 1 penalty for each extra boulder you carry across the field and defenses with you.
G41 actually creates issues with crossing the portcullis. On one occasion we had a boulder in our possession, and another was stuck in the portcullis. Naturally when we crossed the portcullis both boulders transitioned and we were rightfully flagged. We could have avoided the penalty by dropping the boulder in our possession.

On another occasion there were two boulders stuck in the portcullis, to avoid a penalty we actually crossed into the opponents courtyard and traversed the portcullis in the opposite direction just to push the boulders out.
