When a Legion or Horde’s Threat would be increased above 7 due to an effect, and the relevant faction gains VP instead, does this also trigger any other effects associated with increasing Threat?

Official Answer
I don't know based on the rulebook.
The rulebook on page 45 states:
"If an effect would cause Threat to go above the maximum (usually 7), score 1 VP for that Faction instead for each."
However, it does not specify whether this VP gain replaces only the Threat increase or also any other effects that would be triggered by increasing Threat. There is no mention of additional effects being triggered or not triggered in this situation.
To answer this question definitively, the rulebook would need to clarify whether the VP gain is in addition to, or instead of, any other effects that might be associated with increasing Threat.
