I'll continue the attack, and spend 2 gold to use both apothecaries to recover 1 infantry each. By my count I should still have 1 mood left--I had 3, +1 for nationalism, +1 for temple, -2 spent on building, -2 spent for Absolute Power.

Whoops, yes, forgot the temple. It says something when this is the lightest 4x I know and yet I still trip up more than Mage Knight. Also fixed up Japan's action cards. The battle continues! Japan plays High Morale: High Morale posted:Army/Ship/Fortress: Gain +2 CV this round. Egyptian Offence: 1 Army = 1d6 = 2! 0 hits! Japanese Forces: 1 Army + High Ground = 1d6+2 = 4! 0 hits!

Japan reveals WARLORD - Immediately: Upon eliminating at least 3 Army units in one battle. Egypt recovers two Infantry. Japan recovers a Cavalry. It's still TURN 4-2-3 - It is Egypt's turn!

Persia rolls 6 for the land tile - see the bar on the right. This can be placed as-is with the water at the top, or rotated 180' with the water at the bottom. It's up to Persia - either way, a Barbarian Camp will spawn at G9. (Though, barring any special cards, Persia is now immune to Barbarians - after all, it cannot draw any more Events!) Persian Ships assault the Pirate Force! Persia elects to not play a card. Persian Forces: 3 Ships = 3d6 = 8! 1 hit! Pirate Forces: 1 Ship = 1d6 = 4! 0 hits! The Persian Forces are victorious! For winning, Persia gets 1 Gold and 1 Mood. TURN 4-3-2 - It is Greece's turn! Action Queue - Greece: Take turn. - Persia: Select tile 6 orientation. - Everyone: Please remember your free techs!

The occasion is glorious enough to merit an Event: Epidemic posted:All players without Sanitation must remove one of their Land units, or two if they have the Roads advance. Players must reduce the mood of a city for each unit they cannot remove. Everyone gets new cards. Persia retains First Player spot. Imhotep has retired! Cleopatra rises to lead Egypt! Darius has retired! Xerxes rises to lead Persia! TURN 5-1-1 - It is Persia's turn! At the start of Persia's turn, Banking generates a Gold, followed by 1 Gold from Trade Routes (E15 -> C15).

TURN 5-1-1 - It is Persia's turn! Persia exchanges 2 Mood tokens for 1 Culture with Egypt, and also with Japan. Who says you can't profit off both sides in a war? Persia produces a Great Architect! All wonders are available for build! Persia's ships assault some Pirates in a dual-pronged attack! Persian Forces: 1 Ship = 1d6 = 6! 1 hit! Pirate Ship: 1 Ship = 1d6 = 3! 0 hits! Persian Forces: 2 Ships = 2d6 = 6! 1 hit! Pirate Ship: 1 Ship = 1d6 = 5! 1 hit! For killing 2 Pirates, Persia gains 2 Gold and 2 Mood. Persia becomes an Autocracy! For having both Writing and a Government, Persia picks up 1 Action and 1 Objective card. Persia has one move left, if desired. Otherwise, TURN 5-1-2 - It is Greece's turn!

Oh, jeez, right, I forgot to do Triskelli's terrain draw too. Sorry! Triskelli's move also prevents the river being extended. Boooo. Triskelli, your Settler rolled tile 1.

The trades between Persia and me/Japan seem to have just turned into free stuff for all of us, you didn't actually take -1 culture from me and Japan or -4 mood from Persia. Egypt 5-1 1. Activate Egyptville collect 2 food and 1 ore. 2. Activate Egyptburg, spend 1 food to collect 2 food and 1 ore at range 2 (Husbandry.) 3. Activate Egyptopolis, build 2 infantry for 2 food and 2 ore. Gain 1 mood (Nationalism via MAN GOD.) Free (Arts & Sculptures). Spend 1 culture to culturally influence Nara at range 4 (size 3 + Cleopatra.) Pump up to 3 culture to auto-succeed. Gain 1 culture (Conversion.) Free (Cleopatra). Place 1 culture in Egyptopolis. Free (Absolute Power via MAN GOD). Spend 2 mood to take another action, move all 4 armies C3->D2 and attack. Gain 1 culture (Embalming.)

Okay, most of it's sorted. -1 culture Egypt and Japan, -1 mood from Persia (they made 3 back from the pirates and tech buy). I'm going to update the last image, but as we're now waiting on multiple players I'm going to hold off a proper update. To reiterate, Persia needs to place tile 1, Greece needs to confirm their tech buy, and Japan gets to play a card in defence if desired.
