STATUS PHASE 4 CONT. Imhotep is overthrown! Cleopatra rises to rule Egypt! Everyone may raze a size 1 city or retire their current leader. Everyone draws new Action and Objective cards. Persia leads in Mood and Culture, and becomes the first player. This is kind of an interesting situation, and one that I haven't seen before. The specific wording on the Great Diplomat was 'you may not attack that person for the rest of this turn, and that person may not attack you on their next turn'. Egypt has yet to have its next turn - but Persia is freed of its obligations and can fire away. So much for jus ad bellum. (Of course, you can still defend...) Also, these are the penultimate Objective and Actions cards you'll gain automatically, Writing+Gov't aside - you'll get one more of each in Status Phase 5. TURN 5-1-1: It is Persia's turn! Action Queue - Egypt: Choose where to place Cleopatra (In any city, or with any Army.) - All: Raze a city? Retire Leader? - Persia: 3 actions.  Green - Mykkel - Persia (Xerxes) Blue - Leith Maclaine - Babylonia (Nabopolassar) Yellow - StashAugustine - China (Sun Tzu) Red - Jon Joe - Egypt (Cleopatra) - At peace with Persia!

Maybe I’m misremembering but can unhappy cities even increase range of cultural influence?

I didn't see anything in the condensed rules about limits on cultural influence. I easily could have missed it.

Yes, that's correct. Cities being angry only affects things that activate a city - Cultural Influence can be boosted in all cases. (I went and checked the actual rules, just to be sure.)

TURN 5-1-1: It is Persia's turn! The allure of Zoroastrianism proves too tempting, and some of Egypt's forces are turned to the cause! Seed is taken over in a bloodless attack! Because the city was happy, Persia gains 3 gold in war profits, and Egypt gets a free Settler in a city of their choice. Seed also becomes angry. TURN 5-1-2: It is Babylonia's turn! Action Queue - All: Raze a city? Retire Leader? - Egypt: Place settler. - Persia: 2 Moves, if desired. Otherwise: - Babylonia: 3 Actions.  Green - Mykkel - Persia (Xerxes) Blue - Leith Maclaine - Babylonia (Nabopolassar) Yellow - StashAugustine - China (Sun Tzu) Red - Jon Joe - Egypt (Cleopatra) - At peace with Persia!

It's all good!

Sorry for the delay on my end as well - work's been rather hectic. I've just checked and it's a Market being built in that middle step - however, I've also only just spotted that that's 4 actions (China only gets to free-move its Settlers on build). I've pinged StashAugustine to check whether there's a card involved or if one of the actions should be taken back.

TURN 5-1-3: It is China's turn! As a note, you don't get to pick your leader - it's a random draw. Still: Sun Tzu's reign is over! Qin Shi Huang rises to lead the Chinese people! After checking, that's a Market in the middle city. An extra food is spent to generate a Settler. A Food is used to activate Roads as part of the move. The Collect doesn't happen. TURN 5-1-4: It is Egypt's turn! Action Queue - All: Raze a city? Retire Leader? - Egypt: 3 actions.

Okay, let's get back to this. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I understand it might take people a while to remember where they were and what they were doing, so I'll relax the (already soft) time limit a bit. TURN 5-1-4: It is Egypt's turn! That stuff happens.

Stelas, the dropbox link for Zoomed In Tech board no longer works for me. I am very smart and appear to have purged it from my dropbox account while I was doing some clearing out of old games.

China destroys the Barbarian camp for an extra Gold. TURN 5-2-4: It is Egypt's turn! Egypt gets 1 Gold from Trade Routes. Egyptian forces look to retake their capital! Egypt does not play a Combat card. Persia plays Tactical Surprise: Tactical Surprise posted:If you score at least one hit, score another. Egyptian Forces: 3 Army + Fanaticism = 3d6+2 = 15! 3 hits! Persian Defenders: 1 Army + Steel Weapons + Tactical Surprise (guaranteed to happen because of Steel Weapons) = 1d6+10 = 16! 3 hits! Persia's defence is successful... ... but due to Fanaticism, Egypt gets a free Army in a city of their choice. Action Queue - Egypt: Place Army. - Egypt: 2 moves, then 2 actions. yeah.
