Dammit, why am I still so low? And dam NQT for keeping last place, which is the most powerful of them.

I mean, really? Picking Domain is just going to seal someone's fate.

[notquitethere]

Last place is good for me as I can choose my actions carefully to defend against what might come after me... but going before other players is really useful- especially in combat or if you want to use your Order power. But if you want to go last, just build more castles Tric!

I thought it'd be safe for me to pick domain as there was no recruiting so you couldn't do your really fancy trick.

[TricMagic]

Shadowclaw switched his Action..

Selecting Conquer did what I needed. I shouldn't have to worry about Floaty McCastle for the moment.

Goo Lord
Build Castle 174
Expand 80
Build Castle 80
Expand 146
Build Hunting Ground 146

Select Recruit

I thought it'd be safe for me to pick domain as there was no recruiting so you couldn't do your really fancy trick.

"Spell Card activate; Nature's Pact! By spending 1 Fae, I can block Conquer Actions from a player against me until my next turn. My opponent can Spend two Fae to override this."

"I choose...  Sprightly!"

Domain: Pact has been activated. Fae spent.

Next, I Expand using my Angel, to take 41 and 59! (6 actions remain)

Infinity Bloom! Spread across the lakes in Dominion!

Conquer 80(Castle), 97, 114, 132(Castle).

Turn end. Action Selected for next turn, Conquer.




Picking Domain is always a bad idea. Float away little NQT.

He was going to conquer me regardless, might as well do some damage before I go

[notquitethere]

Go down swinging. I approve! And there's only so much harm he can do back this round as he didn't choose Conquer last turn either.

This makes me think... an interesting change to the rules next game would be to make expand work the same as Conquer, and have the selection bonus be necessary for expanding (or developing etc.) from terrain you've just expanded to (and thus the bonus wouldn't give a free expand). This would mean people were less spidery in their expansion. (If I did that, I'd remove the Expand bonus from Peace's Domain power and replace it with Wall.)

Also I think Wall is a bit underpowered as it is, as there are so many angles you can be attacked from. I'm tempted in the next version of this game to make Wall work the same as the Earth Fortify power: allow you to create a single unbroken Wall as long as you like around one tile. This would encourage a lot more walling, which would make things tactically more interesting (and beef up the value of Hunting Grounds).

If I did that, I'd make Fortify more powerful (like allowing you to build one single unbroken wall adjacent to any number of tiles you own. So if SC had it in this game, he could build a wall from 106 to 127, covering 5 tiles in a single action.

Conquer 85 (2 Actions since Castle)
Expand 151, 150, 143, 156, 155
(Angel Expend) Expand 154
Build Castle 156
(Free) Build 151

Action Selected: Build

Do you think I would bully you?, not a eternal source of VP collection through conquering, nope.

[Naturegirl1999]

Conquer 85 (2 Actions since Castle)
Expand 151, 150, 143, 156, 155
(Angel Expend) Expand 154
Build Castle 156
(Free) Build 151

Action Selected: Build

Why you bully me?, not a eternal source of VP collection through conquering, nope.

Bully you? You are in the process of wiping me off the map, whether or not I attacked, you would have attacked anyway

[Shadowclaw777]

I’m doing the only required conquer action to get my Castle and long-term VP, my goal wasn’t to wipe you off the map since your vote still allows for more possible actions per turn.

[Naturegirl1999]

Oh, is it too late to change my turn?

[TricMagic]

You have the unfortunate issue of going first. All the time. So yes, it is always too late.

[notquitethere]

Yep, too late now! Here's my action:

9 Actions
Free domain: +1 free build, +1 free expand
Free expand 48
Expand 31
Expand 49
Expand 70
Expand 87

Float 87 -> 100
Free build castle 87
Float 7 -> 28, 167
Expand 169
Expand 62
Expand 82

Action Selection: Wall

Nobody picked Expand, and so I thought I'd make the most of this.

[TricMagic]

And that is why going last is most powerful. It irks me... Really irks me, since your number determines that you go ahead even though our castle number is the same.
