So hat Bruno Cathala (richtig geschrieben?) im DOW-Forum geantwortet auf die Frage nach den Kommunikationsregeln - momentan gibt es zwei Threads dazu, einen im DOW Forum, einen auf boardgamegeek:

> Hello luke & everybody !!
i will make a short answer, just because my english level is not sufficient to explain in all details what i mean, but i'll try to give you some indications....
SoC is a game where ambiance is very important.
So yes, of course, you can exchange informations.
General intentions, for example, but never never the real name or value of the cards you have in your hands. If you are on a war and have played 1, 2, 3 and you have the 4 in hand but not the 5, just say "if nobody helps me, i won't be able to finsh this war".
Yes, it's quite the same taht saying i will need a 5 in the newt future.
But for ambiance, it's absolutly not the same feeling.
It's true that you can, just with words, do the same that with numbers (i need a small, a medium-small, a medium, a medium-high, or a high combat card... would mean i need a 1, 2.... and so on..)... But it's only cheating with the rules !!
It's like reading a book, and looking at the last page just before beginning to read.. No interest !!
You'll understand that it's very difficult to exactly detail what is permitted, what is forbidden.. but i think that, with above examples, you will understand what we mean..
Yes, it's very different that in a lot of games, in which players allways try to find a weakness in the rule writting to optimize their chance to win (i think about magic the gathering... ).
SoC is not a game for statisticians, exactly knowing how many cards of each category are in the game... but for a game for players wanted to try to have a behavior of real Knights, with honnour, bravoure... and their final victory will have a better taste !!<
