I had a couple of questions that came up and I was wondering if anyone knew the answers.
1) Can people (Fauna) move back and forth to Africa once the continental drift has occurred and the African plate moved off?
2) When the continental drift occurs, can the predators in the predator triangle move with the biome?
3) When Africa moves off do you leave the now empty square empty? Does the associated sea in the hex grow to size 4 to compensate?
3) Does the Dogface still get to grow in the predator phase if it is in omnivore stage? This was brought up because it seems like the herbivores associated with a predator would get the chance to grow or shrink twice in one round as well. IS there some way to distinguish this?

Thanks!

1) Your critters can move back and forth to Africa, as long as they do not enter a hex or borderland that they are not adpated for.  Such as a dolphin entering an all land hex.

2). Yes, predators can drift with the biome.  The rule states: If the Africa or Spain orogeny biomes are shifted due to continental drift, any population tents living there shift automatically as well.

3) The seas do not grow to size four in compensation.

4) The Dogface is able to grow in the predator phase if all its tents are predators.  The rule states: However, a dog-faced genotype may change size during Phase G only if all its members are carnivores (no herbivores).
