These are some dedicated pirates, hauling their boats over a mountain to get there! (Pirates only affect coastal cities. Also as a reminder, the attacked player gets to spawn/move a pirate after each raid)

And I think I've got the first move again, so might as well get this one out of the way: 1.) Activate Persopolis for 1 food, 1 ore, 1 wood (1 idea from Public Education) 2.) Move my army + my leader in Persopolis to the barb camp two spaces away using Roads (1 food, 1 ore to ignore terrain), and move the settler in Babylon north to the barrens. Use the Tactical Surprise action card to turn any single hit into an extra hit, and Immortals to add +2 CV at the cost of 2 culture. ...and I'll wait until that's resolved, actually. That should bring me to: Food: 2 Wood: 2 Ore: 1 Mood: 4 Culture: 2 Ideas: 2 I'm really kicking myself for not picking Fishing as my free advance, but no take-backsies should be the rule we all live by.

STATUS PHASE 3 CONT. Japan learns Fishing. Everyone gets a new action and a new objective card. Persia retains first player status. By CO, Egypt razes Egyptshire for a Gold. TURN 4-1-1 - It is Persia's turn! Pretty sure Persia meant 'Babylon' and not 'Persopolis' on both counts. Persia assaults a Barbarian Camp! Persia plays Tactical Surprise: Tactical Surprise posted:Army/Fortress/Ship: If you score at least one hit this round, you score another. Persian Forces: 2 Army + Immortals + Tactical Surprise = 2d6 + 2 = 13! 3 hits! Barbarian Forces: 2 Army = 2d6 = 6! 1 hit! The camp is taken! For defeating 2 Barbarian units, Persia gets 2 Gold. Persia reveals CIVILIZER - Immediately: Upon capturing a Barbarian settlement that had at least two Barbarian Army units. TURN 4-1-1 - It is Persia's turn! One action, one move remain. Action Queue - All Players: Optionally retire a leader or raze a size 1 city. - Persia: Keep or raze camp?

Sorry for the confused orders last night, but I've got it all straightened out. Just in case Stelas doesn't see the revision I want to play my Good Ideas action card for two Ideas, keep the camp and rename it Susa, then advance Monuments with 2 Ideas for +1 Culture and to reserve the Great Lighthouse.
