Sorry, guys. I've been living on a train/plane the last few days. I'll have a turn up later tonight, when I figure out where we are.

By "later today" I meant later today apparently. Sorry, guys. I hate to do this, but: 1) Research Astronomy (for free, gives me an extra idea). That should trigger an event.

I'm going to take a leaf from the Mage Knight thread and not repeat back what people have done, because it'll save me a lot of time. Just please make sure I don't miss stuff like mood increases!

Ok, not bad, although I don't really need Spirituality. But hey, a free 1/2 VP: Free) Activate NorthWestern city for 2 Food, 1 Iron. 3) Pay 1 Culture token for State Religion. Then increase the size of NE city, placing a temple in there (spending no food, due to the advancement).

Turn 4.3.2 - Fat Samurai is the current player. You forgot the +1 Idea for harvesting with an Academy. Also you get to choose whether you want a culture or a mood token. Meanwhile, I forgot it's an add barbarians card. Turn 4.3.3 - Spincut is the current player.  Green Status (Golden Battler) | Blue Status (Gabriel Pope) | Yellow Status (Fat Samurai) | Red Status (Spincut) | Player Aid (Costs, etc.) | Rules | Available Wonders | Objectives Spincut, you have three actions.

Mood token, thank you. Also, place a barbarian encampment north of my original city and the barb on that same camp (I have to put it lose to my cities, right?)

You can't place a barbarian camp on desert, unfortunately. The camp has to be within 2 of your cities, but the extra army can be anywhere on the board.

Okay, I get a food for free start of turn because of Trade Routes. 1: Harvest resources from my southern city (1 food, 1 ore, 1 wood) 2: Build a ship and an army in my northern city. 3: Declare a Cultural Influence action, then play my Cultural Awe action card to target the barbarian camp in E9. EDIT: I'll spend 3 culture tokens on the roll. Spincut fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Oct 6, 2014 |

Turn 4.3.3 - Spincut is the current player. Cultural Awe lets you target a Cultural Influence action on a nearby Barbarian settlement. If successful, it becomes your city and one of the units is retained as an Army or Settler. Red rolls 4 and spends a single Culture token to bump it up to a success. Turn 4.3.4 - Golden Battler is the current player.  Green Status (Golden Battler) | Blue Status (Gabriel Pope) | Yellow Status (Fat Samurai) | Red Status (Spincut) | Player Aid (Costs, etc.) | Rules | Available Wonders | Objectives Spincut, choose whether to receive an Army or a Settler in your new city.

Stelas posted:I've given Golden Battler a kick, hopefully he'll spot it. It seems to make an attempt, mostly by giving everybody access to equally ridiculous bonus advances. Of course you can still take Economic Liberty on top of all that, but there do seem to be a lot of Autocracy/Theocracy leaning civs (something like half of the civs gain either extra benefits for non-democratic government techs or have massive synergy with them) and virtually none that have any added incentive for Democracy. One possible pitfall I foresee is that there is a lot of "inflation" in the action economy (there are a lot of AAA abilities attached to various civs wanting to be used), so the extra actions from democracy may wind up being more important than ever. EDIT: the Fanaticism horrifying human wave did get even better--you can now revive units at half cost via the Apothecary building, allowing you to actually grow an army by kamikaze attacking enemy temples! the holy poopacy fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Oct 15, 2014 |

I'm kind of hopeful there - if the AAA abilities are actually good and fun to use, that puts a lot of incentive onto going hard into military, where you get 4 actions and a whole shitton of army bonuses rather than 3-and-a-gather. In most of the games I've played a good military civ has no problems keeping their mood tokens high enough with Drafting to power an endless string of Absolute Power turns. On the other hand, that seems like it would depower Fanaticism quite heavily, and presumably that's why it got a buff to make up for it.

From what I've seen, they have really incresed the depth of the combat, right? (infantry, cavalry and elephants, oh my!)

Yup, you get: Infantry - 1d6 Cavalry - 1d6 + 1 per Army present with them Elephants - 1d6 but each 1 and 2 rolled does not add to the combat score, it cancels a hit instead. Or something like that. I haven't looked at the full expansion yet, but the 'specific cases' rules already give away a lot of neat stuff. Cities actually have more than a few pieces too, so two cities may end up fairly different in what they offer. Personal favorite is the obelisk, which is immune to cultural influence and doesn't change colour even if someone takes over your city. Once it's on the table, it's there for good.

The important question is whether you can put elephants inside a boat so you can make amphibious angry animal attacks. In a more serious note, is the expansion very army-focused? Maybe it's because I like to build my empire in peace (Gabriel  ), but I feel it would detract a bit from the core game.

Hard to say, because so far I've only looked at the manual. I would kind of suggest that the base game doesn't have sufficiently fleshed out army stuff - there's very little to the combat rules, compared to the rules of 'building your kingdom' - and they were mostly trying to shore that up. There definitely are some civs that are focused around kingdoms rather than armies, they probably just have easier rules so they don't show up in the manual's examples.

I don't know, I like the simplicity in the base game: Army size is the main deciding factor, with one or two science advantages and action cards. Matter of taste, I guess.
