Victory points

[angelosheliou]

The rulebook says that the FP needs 4 victory points, and the SP 10 victory points. But if the FP take a stronghold/city of the SP, does the SP lose these points or not? (ex: The elves take the stronghold Morannon, so the FP gets 2 points, does the SP now gets -2 points?)
Or do you only count the VP that you win and not those that you lose?

Thanks

You only count the VPs you have accumulated.
