What is the rightmost empty city slot after Warlord is scored?
Quick answer
The rightmost empty city slot is the furthest right slot on the player board without a city after returning cities during chapter cleanup.
Details
After scoring Warlord (or any ambition), cities on the map are returned to the player board during the cleanup phase of ending a chapter [p.19 — Ending a Chapter]. These cities are placed in the rightmost empty city slot first, filling slots from right to left.
For example, if a player has three city slots and two are occupied, the returned city fills the rightmost empty slot (slot 3). If all slots are filled, no empty slots remain.
Watch out: This process applies to all cities returned during cleanup, not just those affected by Warlord. Ensure cities are returned to the rightmost available slots, which may change the "empty" slot status for future actions.
