TheNabster posted:2. Build a soldier in Babylon Just to double check, you can potentially build two units at once in Babylon if you'd like. (It's up to the city size - I'm just saying it again in case people missed it the first time.) Is your action 3 the same?

Sadly not! Iron Weapons' additional cost is special in that respect. Metallurgy is the only thing that can cancel it.

It's time to make Persia great again. Give me 2 gold. I'm a great businessman. I'm worth more than you could even imagine. 1. Research tactics. I will surround myself with the best foreign advisors in the world, these people really know their stuff. 2. Move settler from Susa to G7 Move army and elephant from susa into the encampment. The barbarian people love me, and they're great people. But some of them are murderers and rapists coming into Persia and we have to send them home. Move Xerxes to I7 3. Build a Fortress in Persepolis. Do you know what's complicated? What's complicated is building a fortress that's 9 stories tall. Get sanitation. These are the hugest, most luxurious cities anyone could live in. e: Apparently I should already have tactics instead of writing. Stelas works really hard but just doesn't have it — a total loser! I'll take Draft instead. Istvun fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Sep 18, 2015 |

Turn 3-3-3: It is Persia's turn. Persia gets a gold from Banking and another from Trade Routes. I'm assuming Food to research Draft, and Persia also picks up Immortals. Persia's army assaults a Barbarian camp! Persia's Attack: 1 Army + 1 Elephant = 6 Barbarian's Defence: 1 Army = 1 = 0 hits. Persia are victorious, without any losses! For defeating 1 Barbarian within a Camp, Persia gets 1 Gold and may keep or raze the camp. I assume Persia's leaving it what with the Leader moving to it. Turn 3-3-4: It is Rome's turn.

-Develop Free Education, thus gaining one Mood token -Develop Storage, thus gaining two more Mood Tokens (one for a Mood Advance, one for Free Education) -Spend said Mood Tokens via Slave Economy to build a Fortress in the new city, which shall be dubbed Ravenna This of course changes my plans for the Status phase: I'd like to develop Husbandry when the time comes, please.

Turn 3-3-4: It is Rome's turn. Rome develops Free Education, earning an event! Trojan Horse posted:Put this card on the table. 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. The barbarian camp at F10 or the camp at G11 attack a city within 2 spaces! Gotta be wary of when you pop events! Which barbarian camp attacks, and which city they hit, are up to Rome. Both camps will attack with 2d6, but the G11 camp has an Elephant, whose dice will be nulled on a roll of 1 or 2. On the other hand, that camp is forced to attack the size 3 city, which might be unacceptable losses if it destroys a part! Unfortunately, neither of the available cities (Mediolanum or Ravenna) have any troops for a counterattack. Rome has two actions, and must resolve the barbarian attack.

Sadly not - the rules have the specifics on page 13, but the gist of it is: - Of all the camps within 2 spaces of your cities, find the one with the most Barbarians. - It attacks the closest city it can. Any ties are resolved by the current player.

Aww gently caress it made a cock end of my plan, and I didn't notice it until today. Oh well 1) I would like to replace my leader, and I want to see which one I get first before I place it. 2) Place a camp on 9E, and an Army on D6 ACTUAL ACTIONS 1) Learn Advance Steel Weapons for nothing. Thank you going full Science you were good for something. 2) Build 1 Soldier and 1 Cavalry in Akkad. 3) Spend one Culture and grab that Great Philosopher and use it's first power to gain Public Education

I'll lose two ore to the pirates. and Darius will start in Persepolis. I'll gain 2 gold. I'm great at making deals, I really am. 0. Use Darius to build a market in Persepolis (food ore gold). I am the greatest jobs leader that Persia has ever seen. 1. Pop Great Architect for Siegecraft, play Tech Synergy for Steel Weapons. I will build up our military until it's so powerful that nobody's going to play games with us. Tech Synergy posted:Play this card after getting an advance. Get another advance as a free action, though you must pay its cost and it must come from the same category. I5 settler to H4 I7 units to H8 3.

Hey, so looking at the rules again I could have moved a pirate after they raided me? Because I'm going to send one from J8 next to Babylon in that case. I will stare down any number of pirates. They are no longer invited to my golf courses.

Note that I've fixed up some of the component counts that were a little wrong. Nothing major. Turn 4-1-1: It is Babylonia's turn! Babylonia buys two troops for a combined sum of 2 Food, 1 Ore, 1 Wood (paying Gold). A Great Philosopher has been cultivated in Babylonia! Turn 4-1-2: It is Persia's turn! Persia gets one Gold from Banking and one from Trade Routes + Currency. Darius is an Architect able to spend 2 Culture to increase a city size at no cost. Speaking of which, a Great Architect has been cultivated in Persia! All Wonders have been revealed! (See the reference post at the top of the thread for details.) Persia plays Tech Synergy, and 1 Food 3 Gold for its cost (usually 2 Food, 2 Ore.) Turn 4-1-3: It is Rome's turn!

Develop Draft using Ideas (this nets me 1 Mood thanks to Free Education) Activate Mediolanum and Harvest 1 wood, 1 ore and 1 food (this nets me 1 idea thanks to Public Education) Activate Ravenna and create 4 soldiers (one of which paid for with 1 Mood) Thanks to Imperial Roads, immediately attack the Barbarians North of Ravenna with the whole army sustained by Augustus.

Buy Draft with 1 mood. Cultural Influence from New Delhi with Cultural Awe on G11, pay 2 culture to increase the value of the roll by 2. (need a 2 to win). If it fails, reroll. If it succeeds, take the elephant. Call the city Chennai Buy a soldier in Chennai with 2 food.
