Can you score the 8th point by holding a battlefield, or do you need to conquer it?

Ruling: You can score the 8th point by holding a battlefield. The restriction on gaining the 8th point only applies when conquering; all other methods including holding will always give the 8th point.

Nuances:

• You can only score each battlefield once per turn
• If you already hold a battlefield and are at 7 points, you win immediately by holding it
