Math errors are fun.

Spoiler: End (click to show/hide)

Swordsmen to the nearby forests three directly left, and ending by capturing the planes to their southwest. Harvest twice.
Um...could you break that down a bit?

See those four hexes to the left of my swordsmen? I'm going to claim them all in a circle so I end on the plains one. And then I'm going to use the Harvest action twice. Wait this isn't the game I have nine points in.

Ok, new rules: you have to explicitly state every step your army takes. Valid identifiers are:
  • coordinates (f.e.: <5,5> or (12,2))
  • Cardinal directions:
    • North
    • South
    • Northeast
    • Northwest
    • Southeast
    • Southwest

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Have the soldiers claim the forests to the north and north east of 20,10.
I also declare an alliance with Scap. We can work out who got married later.

move soldiers at <22,8> southeast twice, then north and south east again to end up in <19,9>.

Peasants are exclusive to fields, you can however build the almost identical militia (which uses 1 iron, but only 2 food). (field's special unit seems to suck, I guess I'll make a better one in the sequel). Come to think of it, mountain special unit, while useful, makes no sense from a role playing perspective (I guess I was thinking rocks+catapults= sense?).

Then move swordman at 13,17 south, south east and south west, ending at 13,21.

Those orders will take you through the ruins again. I have a suspicion you wanted the desert instead.

The swordman on the fields west of the port is the one I'm talking about. He taking the three forests below him.

Right, sorry. It seems I'm the one who needs a compass. :-[

Because math. Okay, it seems I pre-spent an AP due to a mistake. No harm no foul, right?
