I missthought so much in this game. I wanted to overbid Kuild on Developed II, but missclicked. In the resource war, I missed Air force being in the card row. And then I forgot that Churchill would make Warriors free. Luckily though, Kirian made peace with me, so I still won. YAY!

Round 2
Game 1: mith - Jack Rudd - Jorbles (not yet started, why?)
It hasn't started because we hadn't heard anything from Jack Rudd, presumably because he's still finishing his first game. I'll start it up though.

I just eked out a narrow victory in Game 1, courtesy of a War Over Culture declared by Einstein on Sid Meier.

I've been becoming obsessed with this game recently.  I have had a hard time getting to play IRL due to length and my wife being in school full time, so I've been playing a bunch of games on BGO.  Still pretty new to the game, but I've played maybe 15 or so now.  Hoped right into the BGO Forum league games and got 4th in 3/4 of my 4 player games haha.  I feel like I learn new stuff pretty much every game.  Freaking love this game. 

Feel free to invite "Sigismundo Celine" to any game, if you direct invite you don't even need the pw and I'm in enough games that I'll see it pretty quickly.  I'll try and check in on the thread too though to join you guys.

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

Global's fun.  I have only played a handful so it is still new too me.  It is fun that each game can be way different  due to the different cards being in/out of the game.

What is global? Is it just a different expansion or is it all expansions mixed together?

The only thing those two games have in common is the theme and the fact that they use cards and tokens like most other eurogames.

I think 7 Wonders is swingier.

Of course, Through the Ages has some luck too based on the card row, but that luck can be mitigated very well by skillful players.

End of game

Check the journal to get the final impacts effects :
Impact of Wonders
Impact of Strength
Impact of Happiness
Impact of Colonies
Impact of Agriculture

WINNER IS mith AS PURPLE (168 PTS)
2nd is Jorbles as Green (105 pts)
3rd is Jack Rudd as Orange (85 pts)

mith totally destroyed us once he elected Gandhi and disbanded his military. mith was ahead going into Age III. He really locked down his lead with Gandhi though and Jack and I could only squabble over second place. I got Winston Churchill and managed to hold off Jack who had Napoleon and Air Forces. Jack's board looked way nicer than mine, but the culture investment I'd made earlier in the game let me hold onto second. (I built wonders with small culture bonuses, Great Wall and Hanging Gardens, and he built the stronger, but less culturally beneficial ones, Ocean Liners and Pyramids)

I spent most of Age III with no military units (but ~17 strength), after spending the early game grabbing colonies like crazy (Cartography + Colossus + a cycling Swordsman), then grabbing Newton for some short term research advantage instead of waiting on Cook. Gandhi coming out early and Jack not having enough military actions to destroy me anyway saved the day.
