Game 1 final scores:

Watno - 195
Kirian - 123
mith - 115

I had a 30 strength advantage over both at one point, and failed to draw any attack during Age III. I'm just proud I broke 100, after not producing any culture the entire game.

I've had military drawing luck like that before. Last weekend, was playing an advanced game with a new player (but one whose very good at learning new games and beating you at them). We had the four impact events - science, agriculture, (urban buildings one) and colonies. He grabbed the Colossus and cartography and used Homer to build lots of Warriors, at which point I told the other guy playing, don't seed any territories, he'll basically win them easily, and he agreed. So the Age A deck went, age I started... and a territory came up right away. Kinda annoying. I columbused for one, and more events went down... more territories came up. And more. I eventually noticed, 5 of the 6 age I territories were in play, and commented on that. "There are only 6 Territories?" the new player asked, "Okay, yeah, I seeded four of those. Guess I did get lucky..."

Of course, this wouldn't have been so bad. Except he then went on to seed another 4 in age II. And bear in mind he only had 2 MA in most of age I and 3 MA in age II, and probably spent about 1 per turn building units. It was obscene :(. He ended up winning by 9 points.

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

I've generated round 2 for players 3-6-9.  Because we have names I figured I'd just auto-add people, so the game's already started.

He would have but I sniped it for 3 CA (it cost me relative to the third player, but he was DOA after I raided his Dramas).

...Because we have names I figured...

That's all lies, number 3.

I think I got insanely lucky in that Michelangelo game. Everything just lined up for me.

I've realized that under no circumstances should I play this game at a table.  The other players would kill me because of my AP.

Yeah, not an AP-friendly game. I saw someone claim that a game should take 90 minutes for 2 players with an extra half hour for each additional  player. I just can't see that, even without AP folks.

Although, table talk can be fun, especially when aggressions happen, though I could do without one guy whining like a bitch when I played Spy on him.

I hate Spy.  >:( Mainly because it's the one Aggression that often seems to hit for more than I make in a turn, thus it often takes multiple turns to recover from.

That's nothing. Turn 3 burning down your philosophy is where it's at.

I hit TINAS in turn 3 in the first tournament game.

He still eked out the win.

The real trick is to have players 1+2 grab Alexander and Ceaser, then hit player 3 with a raid and a plunder once each. I think I might do this to the next person who I teach the game to, they'll love it!

I had Ceaser. TINAS actually had Alexander, but didn't get him played. And my aggression was a Plunder, not a Raid. But I had position on him compared to Jorbles, so I knew he only had his first set of cards instead of two, decreasing the chance he could defend.

Round 2, game 3:

Qvist 191
Galzria 136
Kirian 104

Qvist dominated this early; I was, as mentioned earlier in the thread, crushed by an early Plunder from which I never recovered.  Losing 6 resources (because I couldn't finish my wonder before Age II) was a death blow; I'm surprised I was even this close.

Yeah, I cost myself ~45 Culture in the final two rounds, but I wasn't going to catch Qvist. I just started a little to late.

Maybe? My round 2 hasn't started yet. I never received confirmation that I was playing against the right people. I could see this happening if one of my opponents was still playing a game.

I think I was really lucky this game. I drew especially lucky the right Event cards.
The first game is nearly over now and the outcome really depends on the war outcome, but I think I will be last either way.

What are the Round 3 matches? Those could already start, right?

Round 1, Game 2: Kuildeous just about enough resources to complete his last turn wonder.

Round 2, Game 2: TINAS currently under Attack and sans Science increment. Was one resource short to build Churchill's (air enforced) 2nd Phalanx.

Very entertaining games.

Yeah. In my head I had enough but in my head an airforce cost 5 resources because for some reason I was paying attention to its strength rating rather than resource cost. At least I'm only 1 strength off the pace so I should be okay seeing as it's Holy war. Watno is really keeping the pressure on with the back to back wars. Luckily, most of my culture is coming from wonders so they're pretty safe. Doesn't look like I'm going to get much of a chance to do much else though and with Watno about to enter space it could be a tight finish.
