Oh, yeah, just explaining how I saw it from where I was, knowing people's hands. I still don't know how much I like the whole '5 = 1 hit' thing on the whole, but it does make some cards very effective.

STATUS PHASE 5 Babylonia reveals LEGACY: Status Phase: You have more Obelisks in your color than any other player.

Upon attacking a player city, the attacking player may pay 1 Culture and 1 Wood to prevent the defender from playing any Combat cards the first combat round. This card is then kept by the player and is worth 1 VP. Barbarian Attack: 1 Infantry = 1d6 = 3! 0 hits! China's Defence: 1 Infantry + Steel Weapons = 1 hit guaranteed! Egypt takes Arts + Sculptures.

TURN 6-1-1: It is Persia's turn! As a note, you don't actually get to choose which leader comes next - it's a random draw. That said, in this case, you lucked out! Xerxes has retired! Long live Cyrus the Great! Persia gets either a Gold or a Culture from Banking - and also gets to place where Cyrus is. Persia attacks a Barbarian camp! Persia's Attack: 4 Armies + Steel Weapons = 4d6+5 = 14! 2 hits! Barbarian Defence: 2 Armies = 2d6 = 7! 1 hit! For defeating 2 Barbarians in their camp, Persia gets 2 gold, and may raze the camp or claim it.

Sorry for the delay in response. I'll take the culture from banking this time. Place the leader in Be. raze the camp. I'd also like to use Heroic general out of my hand, and improve Pe's mood. If I read this right I can spend 1 mood in addition to the effects of the card for civic improvement? If so that should leave me 2 mood left to activate Nationalism. 4. Action Activate Pe, build fortress using Gold for necessary resources. Also, I think one of my objectives should have been revealed during the previous status phase. Can you double check?

TURN 6-1-1: It is Persia's turn, cont! For razing the camp, Persia gets another Gold. Persia reveals CIVILIZER: Reveal immediately whenever capturing a Barbarian settlement that had at least two Units in it. (Yes, you capture a camp even if you immediately raze it...) Persia plays Heroic General: quote:Play after winning a battle against an enemy Army or Barbarian. Increase the mood of a city of your choice for free, then take a Civic Improvement action at no action cost. TURN 6-1-2: It is Babylonia's turn!

Sorry for the delay here - I'm going through the turn and something's not working out. You start at 0 Food, collect 2, then spend 2 buying Infantry in Plains. In order to move all your units into the space SE of Gardens, the units in Plains need to move 2 spaces by activating Roads, but you don't have any Food left. You'd either have to Draft one of the units (to save 1 Food for Roads) or move them 1 space (i.e. don't activate Roads at all).

0. Gain 3 gold from trade routes 1. Spend 2 ideas to take drama and music, gaining 2 mood 1.3. Convert a culture token into a mood token. 1.6. Spend 1 mood to treat my unhappy cities as neutral this turn. 1.9. Spend 1 culture token to take cultural influence for free. Play Cultural Awe to target the barbarian camp. Remind me, do I need to spend cultural tokens to boost it before the roll, or can I wait to see what the roll is?

1.99 I'm targeting E13 and turning it into a soldier. Name the city Spore. 2. Move action, soldier into Be, gaining 2 gold, settler into Spore, settler at I9 to J8 3. Pay 1 ore, 1 food, 2 gold for 2 soldiers in Be. Gain 1 mood. 3.5. Pay 2 gold to disable fortress's free hits. 4. Pay 2 mood to move both my my new soldiers from Be to Alef - paying 1 gold and 1 culture for Trojan horse, gaining 1 VP and, I believe, guaranteeing I capture the city without any rolls? However if this assumption is incorrect please let me know (I don't know if I still need to score a 'hit' vs a fortress i've disabled with no other troops). Gain 2 gold from this as well.

TURN 6-1-4: It is Egypt's turn! Egypt plays Cultural Awe, targeting E13. Cultural Awe posted: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. Egypt rolls 5! They successfully influence the barbarians! (Yes, you get to boost a CI's roll after rolling. The only thing you have to do before is boost range, if applicable.) Be is the target of a surprise assault! They have no defenders, and Cyrus the Great is struck down! Egypt gains 2 VP. For taking a happy city, Egypt gets 2 Gold, and Persia gets a Settler in a city of their choice. A trojan horse trundles into Alef! Along with some siege weaponry, I guess! Egypt gains 1 VP. (The rules are somewhat lacking in what exactly happens here. I read it as: the presence of the fortress turn 1 prevents Egypt from taking over the city, but they don't need to roll because there are no enemies that can take hits. Turn 2, the fortress no longer has an effect, and Egypt takes the city.) For taking a happy city, Egypt gets 2 Gold, and Persia gets a Settler in a city of their choice. TURN 6.2.1 - It is Persia's turn! Action Queue - Persia: Oof. Place 2 free settlers, take 3 actions.
