Persia can have a settler.

1)Move the i15 settler North, move I14 settler nw twice

2) Buy dogma with culture

Wait for reveal before deciding anything else.

Each unit can only move once per Move action (unless you have Roads). The fact it's moving onto forest means you can move it again that turn, but you'd still need a second Move action to do it.

Just move it onto the forest then. I'll still wait for the reveal.

Er, wait, I was a bit confused by map numbers. You've got a settler on I-15 (the city) and one in I-13. If the I-13 one goes NW he hits mountains, which block a unit from moving again that turn. Is he the one going N or NW?

# ? Aug 14, 2015 00:33

Shoot, you're right i13 should be going north. I15 nw.

If anyone can tell me what button I pressed to make GIMP never show Toolbox or Layers panels on startup, that would be pretty great.

Turn 2-1-1: It is India's turn.

Persia gets a settler.

India finds a nest of pirates!

India uses Drama & Music to exchange their Culture token into a Mood, then Peace & Poetry to get Dogma. India is now a Theocracy!

Government advances are a little different: you can only have one of the three trees at any one time, but you can switch between them by paying the cost for an advance and moving your cubes entirely over to a new tree. Theocracy is largely focused around using Cultural Influence and is often the weakest of the three government types, but Fanaticism can be a really nasty shock in certain situations and certain civs can use it very well.

India must place a Pirate Ship on the new tile, and has one action remaining.

Not my turn yet but I should mention my first action will be:

I also forgot to mention that I gain 1 gold from banking at the start of my turn.

1) Moving leader and settler (already done)
- Play INSPIRATION from my hand, allowing me to duplicate India's Arts and Sculptures advance
2) Found the city of Susa at H6
-Play EXPLORERS from my hand, revealing the tiles south-west of Susa and receiving a free settler in Susa
3) Build a Obelisk in Susa

Turn 2-1-3: It is Persia's turn.

Whoops, you're quite right. Adding one Gold...

Persia plays INSPIRATION - As a free action, duplicate an advance another player has at no Food cost. You must have a unit or city within 2 spaces of a unit or city of that player.

After founding the city of Susa, Persia also plays EXPLORERS - Pay 1 Culture. As an action, you may both: a) reveal a region next to one containing one of your cities, b) get a free Settler in a city of your choice.

Persia finds a nest of barbarians!... somewhere!

Persia may rotate the new tile 180 if desired, but must choose one of the fertile spaces to receive a barbarian camp on it. Persia has one action left.

Aw geez, if I had known that I wouldn't have sent my leader so far away, but I'll deal. Forget making the city happy for now and keep the turn the way it is.

# ? Aug 15, 2015 18:49

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

In this situation, as it's an honest mistake early in the game, I'm prepared to walk it back - the leader's tile was revealed after the settler's tile, and nothing on the leader's tile can affect you or your cities nor has done anything to anyone. If you'd like I can just remove the existing tile and say your Leader accompanied the settler.

Airtight let's do a thing

1) Activate Akkad, collect 1 food, 1 ore. Plus 1 from Canals.
2) Learn advance Writing. Acquire code of laws also.
3) Engage Cultural influence on that southern most Barbarian encampment near Akkad with this Cultural Awe action card.

I will expend any amount of culture to make sure the roll works.

# ? Aug 16, 2015 10:34

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

Turn 2-2-2: It is Babylonia's turn.

Babylonia learns Code of Laws, allowing it to pick up an action card after a successful Cultural Influence. Speaking of which...

Babylonia plays Cultural Awe: After declaring a Cultural Influence action, play this card to target a Barbarian settlement rather than a player (all other rules apply). If successful, replace the city with one of yours. If there are any Barbarian units, you may convert one into a matching unit in your color (including Cavalry or Elephants) or gain a Settler.

Cultural Influence allows you to use a city to target another that is (size) spaces away. If you roll a 5 or more, one of the non-obelisk, non-central pieces turns to your colour - -1 VP for that player, +1 VP for you. The card Babylonia's playing allows you to target a barbarian camp instead.

Babylonia rolls... 6! The Barbarian encampment turns to Babylonia's ways! For the successful Cultural Influence, Babylonia picks up a new action card.

Turn 2-2-3: It is Persia's turn.

Whoops, my bad. You can change it if you like.

Turn 2-2-3: It is Persia's turn.

Persia draws A Good Year - You gain 2 Food. Select another player to gain 2 Food, or two players to gain 1 Food each. Exhaust a space.

Exhausting a space means choosing a fertile, mountain, or forest space next to one of your cities, and slapping a big red X on it. That space no longer produces resources, ever. Note that Persia cannot give India two food and have one be 'wasted' - you have to prioritize people who can actually accept the benefit in any such situations.

Persia has two actions left, must resolve giving food to people, and must exhaust a hex.

Whoops, I screwed the board up a bit! Rome and India both explored their way to suspiciously similar tiles as their first ones. Oh well, it won't make much of a difference for such mixed tiles.

Rome may rotate the new tile 180', and must place a barbarian camp and army somewhere on it. Rome has 2 moves, 2 actions left.
