[ANSTHRLD] Conflict Check

[Jennifer Smith]

Since I haven't done this in a while, I decided I'd take a stab at it.
Conflict checking is fun! :)

Correct, since you have changes for type, number, and color
(presumably), but can only have a maximum of one CD for any changes made
to a tertiary.

Yes, certainly! X.4.e ("Type Changes") says specifically:
	Since the edge partition line of a charge is part of its type,
	the change from "a pale wavy" to "a pale embattled" is one
	clear difference.

You run much closer to Olaf the Maedi-Ogre, with "Vert, on a bend argent
a battle-axe gules", but you still get one CD for addition of the
cotises and another for change of type only of the tertiary (since it's
on an ordinary, per that tricky X.4.j.ii).

Also consider Eoghan mac Bran{a'}in:
"Vert, on a bend argent cotised Or three ravens palewise sable."
1 CD for change of tincture of the cotises (X.4.d)
1 CD for changes to tertiaries (type, number, color) (X.4.j)

There were a few other very similar cases, but I found no conflicts.
