When producing units, the Naalu player must produce all the units they intend to produce before they may unlock M’aban. M’aban cannot be applied to the instance of producing the units that unlocks it.
- For example, before PRODUCTION, the Naalu player has ten fighters on the game board. They pay two resources during PRODUCTION. They cannot produce two fighters, unlock M’aban, then produce three more fighters. Instead, they would produce all four fighters, and then unlock M’aban.
If the Regulated Conscription law is in play, the Naalu player may produce two fighters for one resource. This will count one towards their PRODUCTION limit.
If a game effect instructs the Naalu player to produce ships without using the PRODUCTION ability, they may only produce additional fighters if that game effect allows them to produce fighters.
The Naalu player may choose to produce one fighter for one resource. If they do, they may produce one additional fighter.

Amalgamation

If the Vuil’raith player has the Naalu player’s Alliance promissory note, they may spend one resource for one fighter, but spend a captured unit instead of that resource, then get one additional fighter for no cost, which will not count towards their PRODUCTION limit.
