Jon Joe posted:Wait when did I gain the settler in branch? sorry I've been a bit out of it wrt to this game and I literally cannot remember when that settler go there, but any turn it has been should have granted me an extra gold from trade routes. It's fine - it's been the holiday season and then the go-back-to-school season, so I haven't been too worried about time limits. The settler appeared when your capital city got taken over - whenever a happy city is taken, the victor gets gold and the loser gets a free Settler. It can't provide you gold because it's never been in range of a happy city - Pe has been angry throughout.

Ah, I should've mentioned that Barbarian settlements can be next to each other, but they can't spawn on Barren spaces, so F14 is out.

So this thread has been going on quite a while and getting slower, and I think that between that and Christmas / New Year it's pretty much bombed out as people get busy. Do the players want to mercy kill this?

Jon Joe posted:Sorry, I feel like this was mostly my fault. Whatever other players prefer. I just wanted to chime in real quick to say that I'm sorry if I've given you that impression, and to make it clear it totally wasn't my intention to make you or any other player feel that way. Big pauses are hell for PBP games in general and the season is a big combo of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. I've also been feeling some detachment or I wouldn't have brought it up. (Starting a game mid-October was perhaps not the smartest idea.) If it were earlier in the game I would have suggested a substitute for people who needed it (which, again, is totally okay - a PBP is not exactly earth-shatteringly important) but at this point we're so far in that's not really a practical option.

I'm happy to keep going at least to next Status Phase and see how we go, then - just wanted to check everyone's opinions on the matter. I think I still need a barbarian camp placement from Jon Joe - unfortunately, they can't be placed on Barren spaces - and that may end up impacting Mykkel's turn.

In the interests of fairness, I'll note here that I missed a prompt - when Babylonia removed a troop due to Civil War, the option was there to revive it with the Apothecary in Fort for 1 Food. I'll pause for Babylonia to confirm if they'd like to, and for both players to reassign combat cards / cancel the attack if desired.

Leith Maclaine posted:Ahhh, I didn't remember the civil war removed an army. I messed up. As I said, good attack. I think you won the game on that one. You got the army back (I resolved your apothecary between updates) but the combat card that China used is honestly pretty drat powerful, given that it both kills one of your units preemptively and tanked your attack from 3d6 to 2d6 - that's significant given the leader's ability to then cancel a hit. China got a lucky roll and punched through your fortress on the first turn, but even if they didn't the second round would have probably been China's 2 infantry vs. your 1. Even with a combat card that's probably going to be a draw at best, at which point he could just drive another couple units in there for a surefire capture, and take a lone unit up to Woods.
