Year Two - Fall

That summer, the rapacious Heretics continued to expand until only the Pearly Swine in the far northwest and the Sand Empire to the Southeast, both locked behind their respective mountains, did not border another. Surely fall would be the season of slaughter.

Spoiler: Year 2 - Fall (click to show/hide)

In Fall you can: Harvest, Conquer, Raze, Raid, Dismantle, as well as doing a heresy-specific action. If you border another civilisation, please submit your actions in turn order.

As ever, inform me if I've made a mistake.

[Dariush]

Scorch 120
Conquer 107 (2 actions)
Conquer 145

[notquitethere]

I know you're going to rage, Dariush, but like I said earlier you can't Conquer neutral territory.

[Dariush]

...you didn't actually say this.

Scorch 120
Scorch 134
Rage (2 actions)

[notquitethere]

Sorry chief, but I did:

Dariush

Question: if I conquer a tile and this brings me under my minimum population, does the difference get reimbursed before next season? Also, can we conquer neutral territories?

You can't conquer neutral territories— there's no infrastructure there to hijack.

[a1s]

[/b]harvest 30 [/b]

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hm. No point in harvesting more than one, I guess.

Harvest 100.
Conquer 113.

Do fields roll over from year to year?

[notquitethere]

GWG

Do fields roll over from year to year?

They do. Maybe in the next version they'll go fallow, but here they remain as fields indefinitely.

[notquitethere]

Co-opt the Pearly Swines (to gain double harvesting)
Harvest
Stare wistfully at 113, but do not retaliate

[cerapa]

Monk12 should have a population of 5 as he has 4 cities.

Fecund 47, 48, 49 (Fall is tree planting season)

Monk12, I propose a temporary alliance. If we spend our time conquering eachother, then NQT and/or Dariush could very well backstab us later.

[notquitethere]

Good spot. I've updated it now.

[Dariush]

Monk12, I propose a temporary alliance. If we spend our time conquering eachother, then NQT and/or Dariush could very well backstab us later.

Me? Backstab someone? Why would I do that?! My empire is the most peaceful one around here! Especially if you ignore the small detail of us actively annihilating all greenery and leaving mountains and desert behind.

[monk12]

Monk12, I propose a temporary alliance. If we spend our time conquering eachother, then NQT and/or Dariush could very well backstab us later.

The Republic of Babelon is interested in alliance, and we counterpropose a more long-term nonaggression pact. In short, I will abandon tile 50, and we both agree to leave tiles 50, 63, and 76 unoccupied as a Neutral Zone between our civs. This removes our shared border for the foreseeable future and with it the potential for backstabbing, since it would be impossible to Expand into the Neutral Zone and then Conquer into one another's territory on the same season. Obviously, such Expansion would be seen as a prelude to war, giving the other party at least one season to react. It is the best way to protect both of our heartlands, as the approaches from other directions are much more defensible.

I have your back if you have mine. What say you?


EDIT: Just noticed there's no rule listed for abandoning tiles, apart from Razing them (impossible on a Desert.) Is that a free action, nqt, or will I need to use one to leave the tile?

[notquitethere]

No, there's no provision in the rules for abandoning tiles, so other than Razing, it's currently not possible. Whether it should be is an open question.

If most players are in favour, I can add an abandon action for this game.

[cerapa]

50 can be abandoned by irrigating and razing. The total cost is 0.
I am in favour of an abandon action being added. It already technically exists as a free improve action(for deserts), but under strange circumstances.

The Council of Trees accepts this pact. The great cities of Babelon and the great forests of The Council shall know peace. May we both prosper under this pact.
