<p>Do creature effects trigger every time they move base, or just the first time they enter play?</p>

<p>For example, if I play Invader, gain 1 VP, then play Invasion and move it to a second base, do I gain another VP?</p>

Do creature effects trigger every time they move base, or just the first time they enter play?

For example, if I play Invader, gain 1 VP, then play Invasion and move it to a second base, do I gain another VP?

No, Invader grants a victory point when it's *played*, not when it's *moved*.
