NQT, SC conquered some of mine.

I'll note that expanding castle list is bloody annoying. Stay down already.

[notquitethere]

NQT, SC conquered some of mine.

Ah, you were retaking 111. I think I had coloured it in on the map before going to bed then wondered why you were taking it when I woke up in the morning. I don't think the current map is wrong with any of the territories, but do let me know if there's a mistake.

[notquitethere]

It's entirely possible that if we all just try to conquer each other for the rest of the game, we'll ebb back and forth in equilibrium until all 20 turns are done.

[TricMagic]

SC would need to focus on conquering you this turn though, so...

PACT OP, NEVER NERF.

Well... I kinda feel someone is going to get wiped from the map..

As a hint to SC, it may be best to give up and wall 151. 3 actions. The 3(6) 140, 82, and 154. Recruitment for angel/devil and slime/devil in the process. That will at least leave you safe from NQT's massive action pool this turn.

Alternatively you can try to wall me off. But that's not going to work as long as I have a Hunting Ground. NQT is missing that.


Actually... Looking at it, that isn't an option. In order to protect yourself with walls, you kinda need to drop 151...

My prediction for your action is 3 Recurit to fill your angel spas and slime pool, while using the devil you get each time to conquer those three castles, then building walls. Perhaps a Transform action to deny a Punishment Factory to your enemy. With the slime you recruited to skip the lava>cloud transformation to Lake, since a plains would let a hunting ground be built to bypass walls.


Alternative. You seal off the right side and leave it instead. That will only net you two castles though. I think you can save 103 that way by walling it off.
Recruit Demon/angel, conquer150, devil/slime, conquer 162, conquer70, 3 wall to block the right. 1 wall to block the purple side. 9 total.

I was totally right to grab the punishment factory, it really limits you.
Well, those 2 are the clearest paths to me.

[Shadowclaw777]

Conquer 140
Conquer 82
Consider 154
Conquer 162
Wall 36/54

Action Selected: (Build)

This game would be lot less snow bally if buildings we're remove once conquered I think.

[notquitethere]

I've thought a bit about the action economy and there are definitely changes I'd make to a v.2.

Conquer 143
Recruit 2x Devil
Conquer 144, etc.

As much as it pains me to tell you, but unfortunately you're under Pact right now:

{6}Domain, PACT: Deus Vultio.

You'd have to spend x2 fae to be able to attack Tric before their next turn.

[Shadowclaw777]

Even then I have one leftover devil from the previous turn that's not in 151, and can't edit until eightish hours

[notquitethere]

No worries. I'm in no hurry.  Here's the fixed map with Naturegirl's actions included:

PACT OP, NEVER NERF.

I don't think he read my domain powers. Those Pacts protected me from Sprightly for a turn while he had his domain powers. And allows me to just conquer you without repercussions. I spent the last turn setting up to just leisurely conquer the very castles you expanded to take.


I can't really make a move till he does though. Walls are an action type.

Ooze can transform 66 into a Lake

[TricMagic]

Transforming using an Ooze isn't free Naturegirl, you still have to use the transform action.

That's 4 actions when you only have three. Actually, you can only recruit one devil currently.  You only have 3 to use beyond the free transform.

Select Conquer
This would be a correct turn. 3 actions and your selection action. Remember that recruitment let's you recruit two so long as you can house them. Though it is effectively academic at this point in time. You'd do better to just wall off 46|63/64 than rely on NQT not to completely decimate your territory. There isn't actually much you can do but hope and pray..
