What are the advantages to having the leader in a city? I am not finding it quickly so I am deciding if I want to move my leader (right now I am thinking no)

1. 2 food from seed
2. Settler at growth (gaining 1 idea from innovative)
3. Move settler from growth north, and settler in the west to the southwest, in that order. I reserve the right to move my leader based on reveals but that is otherwise my turn.

Don�t forget that you can discard a leader to draw a new one, I used that to great effect in �THANKS HAMMURABI�.

Though note that a) you can only do this between eras, and b) once you do, the first leader is dead and buried.

Okay I think this should work:

1. Found City (name first city Alef, new city Be)
2. Activate Alef - Collect 1 food + 1 ore
3. Activate Be - Build Army.

Apologize for the delay in reply, I was having phone issues last night.

The first age has ended!

STATUS PHASE 1

No-one reveals any Objectives.

Pliny's Most Powerful Civilizations of the World, Vol. I posted:

China - 2 (Cities) + 3 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 5
Babylonia - 1 (Cities) + 3 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 4
Egypt - 2 (Cities) + 2 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 4
Persia - 2 (Cities) + 2 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 4

Whoops, I should have asked for this in advance. Well:

Action Queue
- Everyone: Please pick a free advance to learn. This will bump Mood/Culture so may cause Events, so they'll be learnt in player order as below.

Each advancement is .5 VP. You have 2 starting advances, 2 purchased advances, and 2 special advances from your nation.

Persia should have 2.5 though.

It rounds down (or more accurately the rules say 'for every two techs, gain 1 point'. Not sure how Hammurabi got there... e: yes I am, he was pasted on the wrong layer. Nabopolassar was underneath him.

STATUS PHASE 1, CONT.

Babylonia picks up Myths, generating an event.

I'm not sure what you mean here - it's possible to turn mood tokens into culture tokens (the blue ones) but that needs Drama+Music. Do you mean making the city happy?

# ? Oct 9, 2019 23:06

Leith Maclaine: Mar 2, 2018; Adventure comes from insufficient planning.

I misunderstood, yes, please use the mood token to increase Woods size. It is the easiest way to fix it.

And give China the settler

I haven't run Babylonia yet - I'll be holding for China anyhow since their situation might change with the new Settler.

The Mood+Culture thing doesn't change anything, but I've fixed up the post. Basically, you have the triangular markers at the top that track the total mood + culture. If, at the end of a Status Phase, someone is ahead of everyone else in total Mood and Culture earned, they become first player. Since there's a tie involving Babylonia, it stays where it is.

just noticed you cannot do your collection action as described, as you already have 2 food and do not have storage. or rather, you *could* do it, but would only receive 1 ore

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

Turn 2-1-1: It is Babylonia's turn!

China gets a free Settler.

For the sake of clarity, Babylonia's last action is increasing City Size in Gardens with a Temple. This would normally allow you to get a Culture or a Mood token, but Babylonia's Culture max is 0 right now, so it's a Mood token.

Turn 2-1-2: It is China's turn!

By CO, China places the free Settler in the south city.

You don't have any spare Mood at the start of the turn. But you will after buying Myths, if you wanna move your actions around.

(To clarify: the markers on the top of the track indicate how many Mood/Culture techs you've bought total. These activate events when they hit 3, 5, and 7. Your current mood-culture are denoted by the round tokens.)

Mykkel: Oct 8, 2012; we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

Sorry, not sure why I thought the mood marker was a mood token. I don't see a way to collect the 2 food I need to buy myths.

Assuming that since the first order is invalid, I can resubmit all 3:

1. Activate Alef, collect food + ore.
2. Activate Be, build Army
3. Move Leader + 2 army NW.

Yeah, if no information has changed, take-backs are always fine. (And to be honest we're still in the portion of the game where people can't readily affect each other, so more wide-ranging mulligans are also mostly fine if people agree.)

Turn 2-1-4: It is Persia's turn, cont!

That stuff happens. Xerxes' army assaults the Barbarian's camp! Due to Xerxes' ability, combat cards cannot be used.
Persia's Army: 2 Infantry = 2d6 = 10! 2 hits!
Barbarian Army: 1 Infantry = 1d6 = 4! 0 hits!
The camp is taken!

Persia gets 1 Gold for killing 1 Barbarian Army, and may keep the city (turning it angry) or raze it for another Gold.

Turn 2-2-1: It is Babylonia's turn!

Action Queue
- Green: Raze or keep?
