Cards in Play: Impatience (corpseblight)|Hills|Safe Haven

The Qajen found a new place to live in the rocky hills. The tribes debated about searching for a new home or concentrating on hunting enough food to supply themselves but ultimately a near miss of a rockslide that buried some strange ruins a hunting party were inspecting made the decision easier and the tribes found a secure series of caves to hide within from whatever may threaten them in these new lands. Some Qajen reported dreams of destruction as they slept under the earth, reports that troubled the priests, but seemed to not lead anywhere for now.

Very difficult turn. I considered trying to make ambush (a hunting card that requires a empty hand) to work, I could have done it with 1 labor left unused, but ultimately decided to pop the scouting which made it impossible to make ambush work so I just went all out with high vantage point. It ended in finding a safe haven though, which is pretty good.

Also officially rip to Favor of Aywen. It was op as hell, but I want to gather more safe havens and play animalisms in these new lands.

Attention!

I have expanded upon what god players can do. Gods can now create true terrain cards (Not to be confused with the garbage cards that just say they are terrain), which also permit an entire terrain set to be made along with them.

Gods may also abolish cards that they have already created, removing them from everyone's draw pile and removing the impact they make on the price of their future cards.

Details are on the first post!

Fascinating. The terrain cards seem to have a decent mix of positive, negative, and mixed cards. Would god terrains have the potential to be all positive?

Also could they include cards that already exist in other terrains if they'd make sense? There seems to be a few mechanics that use specific terrain cards (rip my hunters expecting to find grazing animals when they've never been in the right biome) so if they are custom crafting a land for a race it might make sense to include certain cards if that race would enjoy them.

Also, would some way to lock away or permanently destroy cards be a reasonable research option? Terrain and species cards might not make sense, but removing some less good technology draws or making so I can't draw struggle bus cards like survival or scavenging or rationing when I'm not on the struggle bus would be good (although I might be a bit afraid of deleting them permanently... could totally be worth but it'd be scary to do such a thing if I ever returned to the struggle bus)

Play Survival, gain 1 food

Survival gives 2 food.

Would removing one of the starter cards allow a new one to be made for 1 FP to replace it. I don't think Night Watch is all that useful given another god(Aywen) made it but common.

Yes. (If god players don't stop trying to just make cards that grant FP, I might have to do something about it)

Every civ player should just ask Supernerd what cards from gods they have available next turn in their end-of-turn PM's. God card problem solved.

(Hmm, Hills doesn't seem too good so far. Unless i start seeing some wood-producing cards before i next draw migration, i'm migrating again lol.)

Yeah... I want to try to like it and try to play it though just to be different, but having seen 3 of the 0 star (and thus more likely to actually come up) cards in my turn and one more in yours I'm not impressed.
Landslide and Heavy rainfall could be useful but both are expensive with big downsides and niche upsides
Goat is expensive food gain with a downside
High vantage point IS good scouting. The best card around but there's a limit to the value of such a card.

I think to a point it's hard to like a lot of terrains when grasslands just seems so good.
Birth of offspring is a good pop grower
Blooming wildflowers is a good card
Rainfall is a bit expensive but has no downside for ignoring
Foraging is better then goat for the most part
Wildfire is niche but has no downside to ignore like other terrain cards have
Predator is mixed but generally overall good

Tornado is a labor sink but better then landslide and heavy rainfall
Exotic plant is great
Migratory bird spectacle is great

Whereas most hills cards seemed mixed leaning towards negative all grasslands cards are good or mixed leaning towards good. Their niche cards can be ignored without downside unlike hills cards and their obligatory labor sink is not only probably better but it's 1 star so much rarer then hills labor sink cards. It's a big difference.

It feels like terrain cards need to not only be okay, but actually be quite good to be worth it, not only are you paying a whole turn to move into a new terrain and destroying all you've built up, but it dilutes the deck making it harder to draw other good cards, if the cards in a terrain deck aren't better then average being in one is a net negative. Which feels wrong.

I have a migration in hand right now, and am considering if I want to stick it out and see what the rest of the 0 star cards are or just cut my losses. Sorta regret not teleporting out last turn

[TricMagic]

I'm currently saving up for another card n my set. Yesterday I replaced Night Watch, so a new 1 star in pool that should prove extremely useful?

Black Owl: 7 FP

[Strif3]

Sure you don't wanna go straight for a terrain set? Or do you have something particularly inspired lined up for the new card?
