Changed “by declaring a specific site card that the player already has in play as a company’s new site” to “by declaring that a company’s new site is a specific site card at which the player already has a different company or that is already in play as the destination site for a different company”2.II.7 Declaring Movement - During the organization phase either before or after organizing, the resource player may declare movement for one or more of their companies that has not already declared movement during the same organization phase.

Changed to “A Ringwraith player cannot freely call to end the game; instead, a Ringwraith player may play Sudden Call, which may be played either as a resource on a player’s own turn if that player has met the normal game-length conditions for calling the end of the game (after which their opponent gets one last turn), or as a hazard during an opponent’s turn if that opponent has met the normal game-length conditions for calling the end of the game (after which the player who played Sudden Call gets one last turn).”10.2.R1 A Ringwraith player cannot feely call to end the game; instead, once the normal game-length conditions have been met for calling the end of the game, a Ringwraith player may play Sudden Call either as a resource on their own turn (after which their opponent gets one last turn), or as a hazard during their opponent’s turn (after which the calling player gets one last turn).

Either player may take resource/character actions if doing so would directly affect a corruption check (including tapping one or more characters in the same company to provide +1 support, or actions that would reduce a character’s corruption point total or prevent a character from being discarded upon resolution).
