I started a new one titled f.DS.7 if anyone feels like playing another game simultaneously. If not I'll just wait until it fills or dies and try again. (same password as above).

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Three players hits the sweet spot for me, especially face-to-face but also over bg-o.

It's true. I'm a bad person.

I missed out on the last one, so I made sure to jump into this one.

That puts me at two games, which is about in my comfort range. I was at three games at one point, and I was mostly okay with that, but I was definitely getting a little confused.

I did get a little confused when I had something like 5 games, 3 of which I was running super-heavy military in age III with Napoleon.

Did I see that Cayvie is "-----" on BGO? I thought so, but I'm confused because Cayvie has been inactive on these games, but ----- is still chugging along on BGO.

This is correct - but she isn't joining new ones there (that I've seen), only finishing up the games that she's in.

I think.

Forums are harder when life gets you busy. They keep moving, and the further behind you get, the harder it is to find the time/desire to catch back up.

BGO stops and waits every time it's your turn.

Still, it is a little bit strange that she's consistently active there but not a word here. :(

I think she has been prodded in some games.

Not sure what to do about it, but she doesn't seem interested in returning right now, which we have to respect. I think the best thing to do is just try and replace her in ongoing games, and welcome her back if she ever returns.

Speaking of BGO though. coughKuildeouscough

Well, true, it's not like she doesn't know the games are happening. So, it's a deliberate for whatever reason, and we don't know what that reason is. I'll leave it alone.

Did I see that Cayvie is *** on BGO? I thought so, but I'm confused because Cayvie has been inactive on these games, but *** is still chugging along on BGO.

Given that this forum is public and searchable and everything while BGO is password protected (and people seem to be much more willing to play under real name there) I would rather not see associations between their BGO names and the f:DS or isotropic names posted here.

That's fair. Redacting relevant posts now. Asking Galzria to do the same, since he quoted me.

I've noticed I'm only in 1 game currently, which is far too manageable, so I've made two more.

F.DStrategy 9 is a 3 player, BGO 2.0 game, id 157494
F.DStrategy 10 is a 4 player, base game, id 157495

I'm not sure if I just missed it before or if it was added (didn't see in developer notes), but you can edit your profile, and it will in fact send you e-mail updates when it's your turn. Neat!

It's my first ever game. I read the rule book last night. Go easy on me and I apologise in advance for any rediculous n00b plays and/or ruining the game.

Bwahaha! Fresh meat!

In all seriousness, it's a pretty good game that allows you to play in a quasi-solitaire fashion. Just keep in mind that it's not solitaire. Of course, you have to consider whether you should take something from the card row before someone else does or let it move to the cheaper area. And you could deprive someone of a useful card.

And don't neglect your military. You'll be tempted to; I know I am. After all, everything else you build you see an immediate benefit. Build a farm/mine, and you see production. Build arenas, theatres, and philosophy, and you see happiness. Build libraries and labs, and you see science. Building a warrior seems so insignificant in comparison, but strength can be important in many regards. It makes other civilizations less likely to attack you. In fact, if someone else does ignore military, then you can attack him. It can also be important for certain event cards. There are not as many as I thought, but there are still plenty of cards out there that reward strong civilizations or punish weak civilizations. There is (IIRC) no card that throws a bone to a weaker civilization, a fact that drove my wife nuts the first couple of times she played it. And hey, that warrior can be more than just a +1 to your strength. If it gets close, you can sacrifice him for another +1.

That's not to say that strength is the end-all. In another game, I won a War over Culture 17 to 1. I gained 16 culture while he lost 16 culture. Sounds like a nice 32-point swing, except that he's still way ahead of me in culture. We'll see if I can overtake him toward the end. I'll hope for more opportunities to declare war on him. Heh.
