This is a weird market row and this feels like both the best move and a real dick move, but here we go...

- Buy Grand Mupti for 3.

- Play Grand Mupti, declaring a jihad in Hungary. Three knights invade, one dies, the other two occupy the cities. Hungary flips to a theocracy. I claim the Empire card and place a concession on the southern border.

I'll say one of the Ottoman ones but does it matter? The remaining two just end up occupying Hungary...

Ahhh. Yeah, I read that victorious Agents move to the target but forgot that only the pieces from the card are Agents.

I'll kill the one in Byzantium and place the Bishop on Grand Mufti.

It definitely works on desktop but imgur just does not want to show a larger image on my iPhone. Maybe it works with the app?

- Run the eastern trade route placing a rook in Algiers, a rook in Modon, and a rook in Cyprus.
- Buy Margaret of Austria.

- Marry off Margaret to Aragon and place a concession to the west.
- Run the western trade route for 3 florins.

If I'm not mistaken, you get a choice of Rook or Knight in France, which almost saturates the entire board.

I don't think so. With my concession from Margaret it doesn't even get to Portugal before running out of cash.

Christ I forgot the Jesuits was in hand. That's probably the game right there.

- Buy Grand Hetman for net +1 florin

You cannot. Handsize is a hard limit - if you've got twp, you just cannot buy a third.

I can't believe I forgot that rule. PbP really fucks with your head.

Buy Luther for net 0 and play it triggering Reformation in the HRE. Place the surviving agent in the space occupied by the white rook and spend 1 to repress and replace the Fugger concession to the west.

At this point if you're not going after the Couer's holdings you're just helping them win faster.

I know I'm getting crushed but I don't actually know what to do about it lol.

If I take the Jewish pirates can I immediately place them on the right side of Aragon then use Corsair?

To answer the rules question: yes you can place a card and use the Ops on that card in the same turn.

Buy La Serenissima and play it for a Conspiracy in the Papal States. The neighboring pirate will die for the cause they apparently believed in and the agent will occupy Venice. I'll place my concession to the east.

I will not.

And yeah the tableau's are off.

- Sell Grand Mufti for 2 florins.

Perform Western ops.

- Vote in the HRE, paying 1 florin for the repressed serf and flipping the HRE to a republic. Place the new concession to the south.
- Commerce from the newly flipped HRE, taking it off the western trade route.

what the hell else am I gonna do? I have no money, no concessions, and no good ops.

I've spent the game trying to be the only person to contend with the Coeur's imperial domination and its left me with nothing.
