Are cities +1 action to expand or only to conquer?

Uh, to conquer as well. I think I'll change this in future (so abandoned cities give -1 to expand), but that's what the rules say at the moment.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner, but bountiful letterbeasts would be completely amazing. Letterbeasts in general actually.

There hasn't been enough Letterbeast-love in this game.

I'll roll on the next season in about an hour.

Uh, to conquer as well.

To clarify: you meant to say "to expand as well"?

Sorry, I think I'm having one of those days. I meant 'expand as well'. Cities give terrain +1 defence, which applies both to conquering and expanding (but I definitely see the argument that, like rivers, it should really just apply to conquering).

Also:

(cant fort ocean)

That is in fact the case, apologies to Monk for me not remembering that earlier.

Year Four - Winter

To the south, the Accord burned their fields and marched into the deserts of the Djinn, seizing their domed citadels for themselves. The Empire of Sand retrenched and took back much of the land while the grit was continued in the heart of the island. The Battle of Forests raged in the north, with the ents besieged on two sides by the combined swine forces. And still the fighting would continue...

Doublecheck that everything looks as expected. I recalculated all figures from scratch, so everything should be accurate.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Fortify 100, 101, 102.

[notquitethere]

Abandon 133
Mimic Sand Empire
Build 145
Fortify 132

[Dariush]

Fail to give a fuck (7 actions)

[cerapa]

Actions 12

Conquer 9 (-3)
Raze 9 (+1)
Monk12 pop = 13

Conquer 46, 47 (-6)
a1s pop = 10

Fortify 33, 46, 47, 49, (-4)

[a1s]

Actions 12

Conquer 9 (-2)
Abandon 9 (+1)

That's not how either of those work. 9 is fortified and takes 3 AP. Abandoning costs an action, not gives it.

[cerapa]

Yeah. Meant raze instead. And I wondered why I had an extra action for forting...

[a1s]

conquer 46,60,61,75
citificate 69
irrigate 61, 75

edit: changed priorities, in case I miscounted APs.

[monk12]

conquer 46 (6)
feccund 57,45 (4)
encitifize 45,57,69,82 (0)
no players later in turn order affected.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the meaning of the word "encitifize," you can't build cities on Mountains, just Plains or your favorite terrain (i.e Forests.) So 69 and 82 work, but 45 and 57 are invalid. I think you're right though, your turn won't affect mine.



Babe's brow furrows as he studies the situation map. The war with the Ents was a deadlock, a trio of titans locked in mortal combat. However, Djinn captured in the conquest of 90 painted an alluring picture of their political situation; Emperor Dariush missing and presumed dead, Djinn warlords frantic and disorganized as they try to restore order, The Accord sweeping through and adding to the chaos.

All in all, a readily exploitable situation.


Action Pool: 13

Conquer 22 (AP:9)
Conquer 106 (AP:4)
Conquer 120 (AP:1)
Tower 92 (AP:0)
Industrious Improve: Irrigate 78

[notquitethere]

a1s, Fecund only works on Plains.

If that's everyone, I'll roll on the next season a little later this evening tomorrow morning (when I'm less likely to make mistakes through tiredness).

I was clearly doing something with those forests. It didn't work though.

Year Five - Spring

The War of Ents, the Grit Wars and the Djinn-Accord Discord continued, much to the fortune of the swine civilisations who carved into the harried ents. Spring arrived on a war torn ravished island. Year 5 had come, the final year before the arrival of the Second Wave...
