Tower Raided targets a site, an item, a company, but it is played only on a site.
This statement is mostly wrong. Tower Raided targets the site but it does not target the item or the company.
Tower Raided targets the site because it is "Playable ... on an untapped site." This is clear from the rules: "
a card that states it is playable on or with a certain entity targets that entity."
Neither Tower Raided nor its effects target an item. The discarding of the item (worth 2MP) is an active condition because of the rule "
if an action requires an entity to be discarded as a condition for the action's main effect, that entity must be discarded when the action is declared." Only actions can have targets. The target is the entity that the action is played out through. Since discarding an item as an active condition is not an action, then it does not have a "target." The discarding of the item in Tower Raided does not follow any of the rules on "targeting."
Tower Raided does not target the company -- it is not played on the company. The Orc attack created by Tower Raided does target the company, but the effect of Tower Raided that creates the attack does not target the company because the company is not
chosen as the specific entity through which the attack is played out. Instead, site is targeted and the company to be attacked is determined based the targeted site.
