Argh! Sorry, getting back into the swing of running poo poo.

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

Persia razes the Barbarian camp.
Retroactively, the Great Gardens and the Great Library are revealed.

Babylonia's stuff happens, and Babylonia also acquires Code of Laws.

Unless Babylonia is doing anything else,

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

Action Queue
- Blue: Can choose to move leader if desired,
- Yellow: Three actions.

-happy both cities
-collect 2f1w from north city
-upgrade south city with apothecary (1f1w1g). This triggers Sanitation to give a settler, which triggers Sprawling to move both. One moves directly south, second move depends on tile

I don't much care about the tile reveal, so:

-gather 1 wood 1 ore from seed
-build an academy in growth (for 1 wood, 1 ore, and 1 mood utilizing architecture), gaining 3 ideas (2 from academy, 1 from innovative)
-purchase public education for 2 ideas, gaining 2 mood (1 yellow tech, 1 free ed) and triggering an event

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

One of the commonly missed rules is that making cities happy doesn't activate them, and you can do multiple cities at the same time if you have enough mood on hand. And I guess we're not getting a megariver this time. Booo.

That stuff happens. China builds an Apothecary and then a Settler for one food, then moves the latter.

Turn 2-2-3: It is Egypt's turn!

That stuff happens. Egypt's research of Public Education spawns an event:

Envoys Meet posted:

Reveal the top Wonder and gain 1 Culture or 1 Idea. Then select an opponent to receive 1 Culture. Barbarians attack!
The Great Wall is revealed. Both Seed and Growth are within 2 spaces of the camp.

This is a little scary. Barbarians attack units in cities first, and then apply any extra hits to the city itself. Roll a 5 or a 6 and that's either a city or a leader gone.

Action Queue
- Blue: Move leader if desired,
- Yellow: Two moves remaining,
- Red: Gain 1 Culture or 1 Idea, and select who gets 1 Culture.
- Red: Choose which city gets attacked by the Barbarian infantry.

2. Spend mood token Be Happy.
3. Play City Growth Card for 1 culture, grow Be. (Add a temple to Be)

Fair point, mostly just following convention.

Just realised you can't actually get either - you're maxed out on both Mood and Culture right now. In fact, your only valid options are 'China gets a Mood' or 'Persia gets a Mood'.

Pausing for call there as it could alter Persia's turn.

Very true. aaaag. Don't run games with a sinus headache.

Turn 2-2-3: It is Egypt's turn, cont!

As the only available options, Egypt gets 1 Idea and no-one gets any Culture.

Barbarians assault Growth!
Barbarian Army: 1 Infantry = 1d6 = 3! 0 hits!

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

Persia plays City Growth:

City Growth posted:

Pay 1 Culture token to play. As an action, you may activate a city and increase its size at no resource cost. Other rules still apply.

Turn 2-3-1: It is Babylonia's turn!

Sanitation uses up 1 Food when you trigger it, which you didn't mark last turn - that might have been it?

STATUS PHASE 2

No-one reveals any objectives.

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

Babylonia - 4 (Cities) + 5 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 9
China - 4 (Cities) + 5 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 9
Egypt - 4 (Cities) + 5 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 9
Persia - 3 (Cities) + 5 (Advances) + 0 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 8

Babylonia picks up Circus and Sports.
China picks up Bartering and an event:

Great Merchant posted:

Put this card on the table. The first player to pay 1 Culture may activate this card as an action, and both: a) Gain a free Economics advance, b) Generate income as per Trade Routes if you have that advance. Barbarians appear!
Egypt picks up State Religion and an event:

A Fine Year posted:

You gain 1 Food. Select another player to gain 1 Food. Barbarians appear!
Persia picks up Priesthood, and Zoroastrianism with it.

Everyone may raze a size 1 city or retire their current leader.
Everyone draws new Action and Objective cards.
Everyone is tied at 6 Mood+Culture. The turn order remains the same.

Action Queue
- Yellow: Place Barbarians: spawn a Barbarian Camp and Infantry within 2 spaces of one of your cities, and then add a Barbarian Unit of any type to an existing camp anywhere.
