Stelas posted:That does, but you won't get to research the advance - your actions would be Move-Move-Found rather than Move-Found-Advance. If you rotate the tile you can settle on the mountains, which is a-okay to do. Yeah ok let's go with that

Persia rotates the tile and founds, then grabs a tech. Gaining Free Education spawns an Event:Revolution posted:

Mountains, eh? Turn 2-1-4 - Greece 1. (cont.) Move Alexander and the army SE to D14 2. Found Olympus at B12 3. Activate Alexandria to collect 1 ore Question for clarification: Does a leader count as one of the up to three units for the purpose of moving as a group? I assume they do, but I want to make sure.

frankenfreak posted:Question for clarification: Does a leader count as one of the up to three units for the purpose of moving as a group? I assume they do, but I want to make sure. I'm not sure what you mean. A group is 'any number of units that move together from one space to another' - Leaders, Armies, Settlers included, with no limit beyond what's allowed in a space. So, in this case, you used two moves - one for the Settler, one for the Leader + Infantry. A space may contain 4 Army units, a Leader, and theoretically any number of Settlers.

Egypt has researched Engineering! The marvels of the Great Lighthouse are revealed! Wonders are revealed for all players as more people research Monuments and Engineering. They're first come first served... unless someone takes Monuments, in which case they can reserve one for themselves. See the reference post for what they do and what they cost.

For building an Academy, Japan gets 2 Ideas. Ideas can be used in place of Food for researching stuff. Japan plays: Explorers posted:Pay 1 Culture token to play. Turn 2-2-3: It is Persia's turn! Japan may rotate the newly revealed tile, if desired. (The other cardinal rule is that 'water must touch water if possible' - that's true whichever way around the tile goes. I am however forced to point out that rotating it will make a much prettier river.) Additionally, Japan must place a Pirate on one water space on the tile. Key things to watch for here - boats can move as many unobstructed water spaces as they like, making sea a very quick way to get around depending on how the map goes.

frankenfreak posted:3. Activate Olympus for Civic Improvement I'm about to crash out so I'll catch up on updates in the morning, but in case this changes your move I should point out: Civic Improvement does not activate a city. It's just an action you do. In fact, you can civically improve more than one city in a single action, if you have the mood tokens spare.

Again, if you guys could please nominate your status phase techs ahead of time, that would be very useful! Persia spends 2 Gold on Storage and harvests 3 Food, now that the limit has been removed. Greece happy-s up. Egypt reaches Culture 3 and fires an Event: Revolution (Uprising) posted:If possible, you must either: a) Discard your current Leader and draw a new one if you have any left. The Leader starts in an Army or city of your choice, or b) Remove any number of Government advances from your Player Board. Place each cube on this card. Each is worth 1 VP at the end of the game. Buying the advances back will remove them from this card. Turn 2-3-1 - It is Egypt's turn! One action remains.

As a free action, I activate Darius's ability "Architect" to build an Academy in Babylon, granting me 2 Ideas Then as my first action, I grab the Roads advance for free, due to Mathematics. For my second action, I also take the Bartering advance using 1 Food, 1 Idea. This will trigger an event! If the event doesn't bring me below 2 Food, then I build a Settler in Babylon for 2 Food as my third action. I am dumb, and read FREE before "action" Triskelli fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Triskelli posted:I think you're right. Plus I'm not sure if it counts as an activation for the city. Still, a revised set of orders: Cyrus' ability counts as an activation, yeah. When referencing an actual rules thing (i.e the words 'Increase City Size'), action/resource costs and activation requirements are the same unless specifically pointed out. Triskelli, don't forget you also get a free tech in the upcoming status phase - if you can decide that ahead of time, that'd help me speed things up. Turn 2-3-3 - It is Persia's turn! Persia gains Engineering, revealing the secrets of The Great Statue! Persia also grabs Roads and Sanitation... however, this doesn't generate an Event because Persia's mood marker was in the wrong place. (It should equal the number of yellow techs bought.) Seems like this happened when there were corrections to moves. Persia's only spent 1 Mood so they should be at 3, so that's all correct now. Sorry about that! Turn 2-3-4 - It is Greece's turn! Greece assaults a Barbarian camp! An action card may be played for this round, if desired.

Turn 2-3-4 - It is Greece's turn! Two moves, two actions remain. Greece assaults a Barbarian camp! Greece does not play a card. Alexander's Army: 2 Army + The Known World = 2d6 + 1 = 5! 1 hit! Barbarian Defenders: 1 Army = 1d6 = 4! 0 hits! The camp is taken! For capturing a barbarian camp which had 1 Army in it, Greece gets 1 Gold. Greece may either raze the camp for another Gold, or claim it as their own, turning it into an angry settlement.

A bunch of counts just got updated because the original spreadsheet was wrong. Note that Greece may not rotate the newly-revealed tile, because the first and foremost priority is linking up existing water spaces. STATUS PHASE 2 Egypt reveals ADVANCED - Status Phase: You have at least six advances, and more than any other player. Persia reveals CITY PLANNER - Status Phase: You have all four Construction advances. Pliny's Most Powerful Civilizations of the World, Vol. II posted:Egypt - 3 (Cities) + 8 (Advances) + 2 (Objectives) + 0 (Wonders) + 0 (Events) = 13 Egypt learns Tactics, earning an Event. Local Flood posted:Reduce the mood of one of your coastal cities, if possible. Migration posted:Select another player to get a Settler in a city of his choice, and reduce the mood of one of your cities if possible. Gain 2 Gold. Great Philosopher posted:Put this card on the table. The first player to pay 1 Culture may, as an action, both: a) Gain a free Education advance, b) Get 2 Ideas. Barbarians appear! Everyone gets a new action and objective card. These have been updated on your inventories. With 5 Mood and 4 Culture, Persia is now the first player. TURN 3-1-1 - It is Persia's turn! Action Queue: - Egypt: Reduce the mood of a city, or activate Myths. - Persia: Spawn Barbarian Camp + 1 Army within 2 squares of one of your cities, then 1 Army/Elephant/Cavalry in any Barbarian Camp. - Persia: Select city to gain Settler. - All players: Change leader? - All players: Optionally raze a size 1 city for 1 Gold?
