And yeah, I would love to run a Voltaire game but I think first I'd run a standard conquest, just with Lost Legion attached. Or maybe a co-op, actually, that would be fun.

Voltaire could potentially be an even greater threat.

Arythea uses a Blue and Black and blows the gently caress out of them for Ice 8, taking a wound. Artifact choices are on Arythea's board.

Norowas Mana Searches... and doesn't get what he desires. I'm just gonna quote this, this is silly:

Norowas CO posted:

Play Improvisation (powered if possible), discarding Ice Shield. Buy Herbalists. Use Herbalists to ready Illusionists. Use Illusionists for Influence 4. Spend 6 influence (playing [REDACTED] sideways if necessary) to heal self and Foresters. End turn.

Elves, man. Norowas successfully powers Improvisation and has drawn his last card.

Tovak's Turn


Norowas (Gutter Owl) - 3/5 hand, 0 deck.
Tovak (HOOLY BOOLY) - 5 hand, 5 deck.
Goldyx (Impermanent) - 5 hand, 3 deck.
Arythea (Istvun) - 5 hand, 5 deck.

Oh, for sure, it'd more be to check I've got the expansion rules down. I've only played it a few times myself so I'm still spotty on bits of it, especially the new rules on what can be played when.

Vole-care? Maybe he's just annoyed that those meddling mages keep trying to bring entire armies down every hole in the ground they find, and it keeps upsetting the rodents.

So now it's payback time.

i end my turn there since i can't attack and move in one turn, that'd really exhausting!

I play Improvisation and discard my spell to move to the red mana crystal mine east of me. Then I attack the goblins SE of the vilage, taking the two wounds and playing both of my rages to deal 4 damage, killing them.

Then I use a blue mana die from the source and play concentration to gain a white mana crystal.

I level and take Ice Bolt.

Arythea's Turn

Have I mentioned how nice it is to not have to repeat people's actions back? I swear, that takes the most time of an entire update in COC, especially later.

Goldyx picks up a red crystal from the mine for good measure, and two wounds to hand.
Goldyx levels, taking Ice Bolt from the offer and gaining a skill.
Goldyx flips Flight (once per round, move one space for 0 move or two for 2 move) and Green Crystal Craft (once per round, generate a blue crystal and a green mana).


Norowas (Gutter Owl) - 3/5 hand, 0 deck.
Tovak (HOOLY BOOLY) - 5 hand, 5 deck.
Goldyx (Impermanent) - 5 hand, 1 deck, skill choice.
Arythea (Istvun) - 5 hand, 5 deck.

This is a fair point - you can go NE of that village to the east of Tovak - so I'll just wait for confirmation on Tovak's move. I think in future I'll lay out the tiles face-down just to show where applicable space is.

Arythea drawing the Lonely Mountain tile has made things interesting. Tovak might not be in a bad spot at all if a city comes up now.

It's 4 city/3 non-city core tiles in a 4 player game right? All level 4?

Wow we're suddenly getting lovely sources, our luck has run out gentleman.


To make the most of it though i'll play Crystallize and take a green crystal by using one of the source die

Assuming we're categorizing Crystallize as being a "special" action, i'd like to rest by discarding Blood Rage and getting rid of 2 wounds in my hand.


If i can't do the above, i'll rest by discarding Crystallize and discarding the 2 wounds.
