This will be a full game of Through the Ages using Tabels spreadsheets.
The game rules are available at BGG: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/55064/through-the-ages-english-rulebook.
Unless players disagree on this, the game will use the alternate corruption rule (i.e. you can choose not to produce a resource in order to avoid corruption). Since player hands are easily trackable anyway, they will be public information.
The game will probably start on Saturday.

Rules (shamelessly stolen from Tables and modified )
Through the Ages is a civilization building game. The goal is to develop your civilization, not to destroy other ones. Military strength is just one aspect of your nation, as well as population, production or science. It is up to you which aspect you will concentrate on, more or less, but you should not underestimate any of them while building your civilization.
Victory is achieved by the player whose nation produces the most culture during the game. However, there are many ways to produce culture: through religion, literature or drama, by building wonders, by utilizing cultural persons etc. Considerable amount of culture can be gained even via wars or aggression.
Description from BGG
This is the thread for the second Play By Forum game of Vlaada Chvátil's Through The Ages. This is not a short, simple game; it is an epic civilisation building game. As such, players should expect the game to take at least a few months (I predict about 3-4, depending on activity). This does mean it should be an engrossing, fun and strategically deep game, and the long time period should give you lots of time to plan out your moves.
A copy of the rules can be found on BGG here (http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/55064/through-the-ages-english-rulebook). The rules are great, they're mostly very clear, and so I will make no attempt to explain the rules myself, and instead advise players to read them (you will need a BGG account, which if you don't have, is hassle free to make). I will of course try and answer any questions players may have.
A public spreadsheet for the game is available [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuoXfjzSnYbsdFNMRTNLZENlR0Y3Z2dvbXFVQjkzb3c#gid=7]here[/url]. Each player has a link to a private sheet, which also includes their own hands.
Players may wish to bookmark this link (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/423223/through-the-ages-a-story-of-civilization?size=original), which shows all of the available actions (excluding extras given by wonders or leaders), as well as the turn structure summary. As moderator, sections 1 and 6 will be performed by me. The PBF exclusive section 7: Point out moderator mistakes, will be performed by everyone else.
Some notes for PBF:
- Please do not contact other players about the game outside this thread. I'm not saying you can't mention the game in other threads, but don't go out of your way to conspire in a way that isn't public.
- I will be respecting the standard rules for pacts. This means, you can't talk about a pact you might be proposing before you do, you have to play it, name the roles and the other player can respond. Breaking this rule results in forfeiting your political action for the turn.
- Hopefully your spreadsheets will work, but if there are any issues that crop up, let me know! Also, if you feel that some details could be better displayed, or should be displayed somewhere else, let me know - the sheets are, after all, for your benefit.
- For ease of spotting what your official actions are, please bold your final actions.
- I'm usually pretty lenient about letting people take back actions they realise are not actually good, including possibly accidentally revealing things about their military cards (consider the fact you've revealed the information your punishment). However, do not attempt to abuse my good nature, or I will instigate a 'bold thing=>it happened' policy. However, don't take back decisions because of information revealed after you made them.
- I won't be enforcing a time limit, but for the sake of others, try to play relatively quickly, and respond to events when they happen. Checking the thread maybe two-three times a day would be great, if you can manage it (that's only checking, 80% of those times you won't need to post!). Less is fine, though, so don't worry too much.
Taking your turn:
Turn structure (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/423223/through-the-ages-a-story-of-civilization?size=original)
1) Updating the card row: I will do this for you between turns along with step 7
2) Outcome of a war: You sacrifice units, then they sacrifice units, then one or both of you might need to make decisions based on what happened. I will update other things (usually culture) as I see them.
3) Political action: This is probably the most complex bit of your turn. If you want to play an:
- Event: State that you are playing an event in the thread along with it's age and, in case you have multiple events in hand, PM me which one you play. Then, I will reveal the next current event and resolve it (which may require decisions from various players)
- Aggression: Play the aggression in the thread, name your target, and post what you're sacrificing (if you can calculate it yourself, please include your total strength for the aggression as well!). Your rival then posts what they're sacrificing (or bonus cards), and one or both of you might then have to make choices regarding the outcome.
- Pact: Play the pact in the thread, specify which player is A and which is B (if relevant). Your target then either accepts or rejects. Once the proposal has been made, you can talk about it, but you cannot renege or change the proposal.
- War: Announce it as though it were an aggression, but then simply carry on with your turn. Remember it's resolved next turn
- No action: Announce you are skipping your political action (note: Please do announce it, otherwise I might ask people to wait as I check, did you really mean to skip your political action?)
4) Discard excess military cards: Check your military hand limit (normally =military actions), then PM me military cards until you are at your military hand limit.
5) Civil and Military actions: Post all of your civil and military actions directly into the thread. For the first few turns, or whenever you aren't sure, it may be a good idea to PM them to me instead, just to double check everything you're trying to do is valid. It's easy to forget a few things and make a few mistakes, like, you used military actions on an aggression/war, or that Wonder cost 1 CA more than you thought because you've completed a Wonder already, or accidentally trying to play a military tech with a military action instead of a civil one, and that's just a few examples. Either way if your move is valid, it stands (and I'll post it if you PM'd me) and I'll update everything based on it. If you did something wrong, I'll let you know, and you can fix it.
In certain extreme situations, I might stop and check if you were aware of a consequence of something you did. This is primarily things like 'Woah those actions will give you an uprising, are you sure?' or 'Your military is already maxed at 60, are you sure you want to build those three infantry?' Both of which could be legit things to do e.g. desperately need more science at expense of some resource (for 1) or building up stuff to sacrifice in a crazy war (for 2), but usually, would not be.
6) Production and Maintenance: I'll do all of this for you. It is possible that I will just post an update to the Card Row in thread without editing the spreadsheet, so that the next player can do his move already, and will try to remember to tell you whether the spreadsheet is up to date or not.
Rules in use
We are playing a 4 player full game.
The alternate corruption rule is in effect. This lets you choose for one mine to not produce [unless you ask otherwise, I will do this automatically if it will increase your resources].
-
Confirmed.
-
how hard would this game be to learn on the fly
-
Hmm... the rule book is pretty long, but a lot of things are pretty intuitive once you have the base mechanics down. As long as you don't make too many early mistakes (I can provide (pregame) some reasonable starting advice), then you should probably be alright.
-
i'll give this a try then
-
Thanks for hosting, count me in. I am impartial to the corruption rule but would do without it if given the choice.
-
http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5645.msg145557#msg145557
For those who are playing for the first time.
-
So we're full, I'm planning to get the game thread ready on Friday probably.
Would all players be ok with going in geographical order like in the other game, so that (ipofanes and Tables) and (cayvie and Jorbles) have their turn after each other each, randomizing inside the pairings and randomizing starting player?
-
It's fine by me.
Also this could be useful: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/423223/through-the-ages-a-story-of-civilization?size=original
Easy ones to get mixed up are playing military techs (it's a civil action - it's a technology) and forgetting that taking a Wonder is (CA shown)+(no. of Wonders you've completed)
-
okay, thanks
i'll hopefully at least be able to stumble through the rules by then
-
Would all players be ok with going in geographical order like in the other game, so that (ipofanes and Tables) and (cayvie and Jorbles) have their turn after each other each, randomizing inside the pairings and randomizing starting player?
I am full of approval for this suggestion.
-
Did i mention my weekends start on Thursday night? I'll start this now, if you are not yet ready, don't feel pressured, but just do take your time and do your move when you are.
I will send all players the link to their personal spreadsheet in a moment, the only difference between thiat and the public Spreadsheet is that it shows your military hands.
If you have questions or I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.

Which version of the game are we playing? Advanced?

We are playing the full game (using the alternate corruption rule).
-
Okay, I know what's going on now, mostly. Ready when everyone else is.
-
Well, your last in turn order anyway. Note that since in the first round the card row wont be refilled, you can take your moves without taking waiting for me in between.
BTW, i updated first post with some info from the table and made the public spreadsheet actually viewable.
-
is there a link somewhere to what all the cards actually do? it's not in the rules, as far as i can see.
-

The full spread sheet has the details on all the current cards. I haven't seen any lists of cards in general though.
-
alright
i'm first right
take Aristotle into hand

oh wait they are all there, they're under the tabs that say Civil Library and Military Library.
-
(aristotle is a reasonable opening play, right?)
-
Absolutely. He's one of the better age A leaders in a vacuum, and leaders are definitely a strong opening play.
-
Take Engineering Genius in Hand
Take Pyramids in Hand and put it on the table
-
Absolutely. He's one of the better age A leaders in a vacuum, and leaders are definitely a strong opening play.
I'd have taken Pyramids as the starting player, but it would have been a tough call. My reasoning would have been that Aristotle doesn't do much for you in turn 2, other than, for instance, Julius.
-
is a "technology card" any card that has a tech cost?
-
Yes
-
is a "technology card" any card that has a tech cost?
Yes. Team Sports and Constitutional Monarchy are technologies, who knew.
EDIT: Watno beat me for it.
-
Take Julius Ceaser
Take Rich Land
-
If I had Homer in play, I would automatically generate culture as long as I had at least one Warrior? Is that correct?
-
Yes, if you have 1 warrior, you get 1 culture per turn, if you have 2 or more warriors, you get 2 culture per turn with Homer.
-
Okay then.
Takes Homer.
Takes Rich Land.
-
Everyone produces 2 food on farms, 2 resources on bronze, as well as 1 science point. No consumption / corruption applies.
Card row gets refilled (no card removed, because first one was taken). Age I starts.

You can now do a political action (ok, you could if you had cards), and use your 4 civil and 2 military actions for all possibilities in the rulebook.
-
Uhh there's an error in the civil card count, my bad, it's not counting all the way to the end (and should be 55-X not 51-X... no idea why I did that)
-
I noticed it wanst counting to the end, but failed to see you were counting the ones missing, fixed now though.
-
ok let's see
Civil Actions
Increase Population
Build a Mine
Take Frugality into Hand
Take Frugality into Hand
Military Actions
draw 2 Military cards
-
I think I can complete my turn before the card row is replenished.
Build Bronze
Take Moses in hand
Take Ideal Building Site in hand
-
should i specify that i'm building a Bronze mine? i guess it will matter in the future.

cayvie produces 3 resources on bronze and 2 food on agriculture, as well as 1 science. cayvie draws 2 military cards (check "Military hand" tab in your sheet).

In case there is only one kind of mine you can build, there is no need to specify.
BTW: Whenever you spend resources, I assume you do so using the largest number of cubes possible, that is spending from low mines/farms first. If you take a card that has multiple copies in the card row, I'll assume you take the first one. If you wish to otherwise, please specify.
-
Frugality (II) doesn't mean Frugality from Age II?!
-
Yeah I thought that seemed early, but didn't want to say anything...
-
no, II means I. Guess my attempt to clarify failed a bit. :D
-
I think there's a card in my civil hand, in the spreadsheet, that I never picked up? I mean, I'll take it...
-
also: i increased population, so 2 of my food should have gone back in the Blue Bank, right?
-
fixed. Btw, you also got a population from increasing population now.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but my question is directly related to this disturbing behaviour:
When looking at the list of topics in http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?board=41.0 (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?board=41.0), I don't seem to have a New Topic button. Am I missing something?

oh god i have a discontent worker how did that happen
calm down
-
Because you've increases population twice.
At this point in the game, it's nothing to worry about. That warning is big and red, but as long as you have the spare worker, it's no problem. Especially, no Age A events punish you for discontent workers, so essentially, you have one worker who's now giving you a happiness, for free, and so you can get another 3 workers without worry. That's not too bad, right?
-
Aristotle, the great military commander!
haha galz i feel a sense of kinship with you reading the other game

You're telling me! I like the Aristotle opening though. :P
-
Discontent worker means you have one less happy face than required. However, as long as you dont have more discontent workers as unused workers, this is not a problem. The list of how many happy faces you need for each number of workers left on your population bank is shown on the overview sheet.
-

I think they're just angry that they're an uncultured civilisation.

whoa wait
you get the bonus of wonders while they're still being constructed?

oh, no, jorbles just has 2 strength because he built a warror

Build Farm
Build Wonder stage (1)
Take Alchemy
-
I wanted Alchemy :( but deep down I knew you were going to take it.
-
Man, Alchemy for 1 CA, that was just too good to be true. From my (limited) experience, it's one of the big three Age I techs: Iron, Knights and Alchemy. Of course it always depends on the
kingdom civilisation you're building but all of those are really good a lot of the time.

Surprised Alchemy even got down to 1 CA.

True, but I was too busy playing yellow cards to notice.

Please remember that after your political action, you have to discard down to as many miliray cards in hand as you have military actions. Please PM me the cards you want to discard when you do your move.
-
But I've only got 1 Military card in hand right now?
And I'm playing it as my Political Action, right?
Political Action
Play Aggression: Plunder vs ipofanes.
-
Woo yeah!
Be agressive, be be agressive!
-
I assume you don't sacrifice any units? Waiting wether ipofanes wants to sacrifice and/or play defense cards.
-
No units sacrificed.
-
cayvie plays Plunder (I) against ipofanes with a total strength of 3.
Plunder: If victorious: Rival: Loses a total of 3 resources/food. Aggressor: Produces same amount
-
pretty sure the card is Plunder, not Raid.
at least that's what it says in my hand
-
Hm, which side do I root for? Probably the defender. Go ipofanes, whoo!
Also, the card you've described is indeed Plunder, not Raid.
-
Don't you see it says plunder up there?
-
Oh. Must have been our mistake overlord Watno. It won't happen again.
-
Go update your game and stop trolling mine :P
-
urgh he totally has the +2 defense card
-
urgh he totally has the +2 defense card
If he does at least he can't use it for colonization, so it's not a total loss.
-
There are six bonus cards in the deck, it's not that unlikely he'd have drawn one in his... what, four card draws? Yeah that's a decent chance of drawing at least one (>40%)
-

No, but that can only increase the odds.

I've reached the fun part of building my civilisation where I want to do about 10 things on my turn, at least two or three of them being currently impossible due to certain card row/military card draws.
Now I need to work out how to prioritize in such a way as to maximise efficiency. Or maybe that should be minimise vulnerability? Hmm...

ipofanes plays an Age I event scoring 1 culture.
Development of Warfare is revealed: Each player with an unused worker my immediately build a Warrior unit for free.
Tables and cayvie are the only players with an unused worker. Tables is first in turn order, however, cayvie can either PM me zhon decision or post it in the thread if it doesn't depend on Tables'.
-
Development of Warfare is revealed
Dang.
if it doesn't depend on Tables'.
That's what I love about a human gamemaster: conditional moves that get understood. We could get this game done much faster than three months this way.
Hrm. I don't think my actions depend on the development of military elsewhere, but I don't want to betray my plans until you guys have decided on the free warrior. Therefore I am not posting yet.
-
okay, uprisings don't happen until the end of my turn, right? so i can finish the great wall and get me a happy face before i fail to produce anything?
sounds like a deal.
I take the free warrior
-
ok, what the heck, I'LL publish my move now:
Discard tactic card Phalanx
Increase population
Increase population
Build second stage of Pyramids
Build third stage of Pyramids
Take Bread & Circuses in hand
Build Warrior (mod edit: didnt happen due to insufficient resources)
Discover military tactic Fighting Band
-
This is just about, the perfect even right now. Maybe.
Build a free warrior
-
For future reference, military discards are face down (i.e. PM them to Watno). There's a chance we'll get through the military deck before the civil deck, in which case it's reshuffled and reused.

Quick phone update: mineral deposits are removed from card row. new cards are patriotism and irrigation.
Spread sheet will be updated later.

Tables plays an age I event. Remind me to give him one culture later please.
Development of religion comes up. Everyone with an unused worker (which is only ipofanes I think) may build a free temple.
replaced by another event due to mistake.

I, for one, build the preacher.
Lets my B+C purchase look funny now, but what the heck, Moses will get me more little Ben Hurs.

Not sure, according to the spreadsheet you have one unused worker who will keep people happy as a Wandring Minstrel in the shopping district.
-
That worker has become a warrior, I just can't really update the spreadsheet from here.
After Tables move, Genghis Khan is removed, new cards coming up are St. Peters Basilica and alchemy.
Note that spreadsheet still shows the state as of after cayvie's move, update to come in a couple of hours.

Nooooooooo.
-
Also I'm going to let watno catch up on the spreadsheet before I take my move.
-
And I need to discard military cards first anyway. But I'll just send that now.
-
ipofanes, if I'm not mistaken, there's no reason for you to discard a military card. You're at 2 after your poltical action, which is the number of military actions you have. I'll leave it in your hand until this is clarified.
Additionally, I just noticed you only had 3 resources at the start of your turn, so you can't build the full Pyramids as well as a Warrior. Please correct your move.
I also realized that I ptobably did a mistake during Turn 2, removing two Ideal Building Sites from the Card Row when one was taken. I'm sorry for this, but I'm afraid this can't be undone any more.
-
can i suggest that you redraw tables's event? as i feel there's no way the knowledge of the future event isn't going to influence ipofanes's corrected turn
-
If you did remove two IBS's from the card row accidentally, you could reshuffle it in to the deck.
I think it might be best to roll back to ipofanes turn, including reshuffling relevant decks, but I'll leave it up to Watno.
-
The IBS's were from Age A. I'll reshuffle everything that happened after ipofanes turn. Sorry for this.

Two resources.
Not even looking at the spreadsheet, cause I got Moses.

Please look at the spreadsheet before spending resources next time^^

Do you want to sacrifize/ play a defense card, ipofanes?

You are correct.

Told you my turn would be totally shocking

Destroy a temple
Priest cites Iob 1:21 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%201:21&version=NIV|Iob 1:21).

Ouch. Not used to getting raided so early in the game. Later on, when two or three buildings are destroyed, there is not too much choice anyway, that's why I forgot.
OK, so my move is: Concede defeat against Jorbles' Raid.

No. I was simply in the wrong. Main difference between 3-player and 4-player is that more civs can gang up on me :-[

that's my implication
in a 4 player game, maybe people attack you more

Received wisdom is that you should trail the strength leader by not more than the value of a defense card from the current age.
-
Jorbles destroys ipofanes' philosophy (since that is the only urban building ipofanes has), getting 2 resources.
This is not in the spreadsheet yet. Spreadsheet updated.
Jorbles, you can take your turn now. Remember that you already used 1 military action.
-
Woo! Successful raid is successful! (Sorry about ganging up on you ipofanes, but after cayvie tried I knew it wasn't likely you had another defense card.) And yes I definitely would have targeted Philosophy.

Did you deliberately not play your Frugality card for the population increase?
Also, to clarify: Philosophy was ipofanes only urban building. Development of religion only happened in a parallel universe that has collapsed.

I'll have to wait for the card row before making my move.

so uncouth!

so uncouth!
making fun of myself here, btw
-
Oh wait THAT's raid? I was thinking of Plunder! That's much less damaging.
-
:)
-
Yes, Plunder also takes 2 MA actually, so there's that.
-
I think they're actually about equal, but correct me if I'm wrong. Raid destroys 3 resources worth of buildings, and then gives the attacker 2 resources. This sets the victim back 3 resources and 1 CA.
Plunder destroys 3 unspent resources, and then gives the attacker 3 resources.
It's pretty close to the same setback, Plunder just disrupts your current turn instead of undoing a past one.

Nice. So I trash a bronze for 2$ and one buy ... ah, nevermind.
EDIT: Discard one Age I military card.
Take Knights from card row
Discover Knights
Build Warrior
Build Philosophy using 1 Food instead of Resource
Increase population
This should leave me at 4 strength, 4 resource, 1 food, 2 unused workers, 5 science, and 1 culture. If I am not mistaken.
-
I think that doesn't work out. You have 3 food. After spending one on Philosophy thats 2. That's not enough to increase population. Spreadsheet has all except build philosophy and pop increase atm)
-
i believe my strength should be 8--2 warriors, 1 swordsmen(2), 1 tactics, 3 for great wall?

Your maths are off. 2+2+1+3=8, will fix when I'm back home (might be a while)

-
jorbs! you havin a revolution or what?
-
phone post.
Yes I probably will but first as my political action play territory. I bid 4. (it's legal to use your political action during a revolution turn right? That's why i didn't put the specific territory in. if the move is valid watno can update the specifics)
-
You can't put up a territory for auction from your hand. Territories are played into the event deck (and are indistinguishable from normal events until they come up). Then, when the territory event happens, the auction takes place. (only exception is the Leader Christopher Columbus).
You are allowed to do a political action and also all your military actions if you do a revolution.
-
So I can put the territory onto the event deck then? Sorry my phone can't check the rules.
-
Exactly, you can play it into the future events deck, which will cause a current event to happen. You dont need to reveal wether the card you play is an event or a territory, just PM me which card you play.
-
Sure I'll do that. wha happens?
-
A current event will be resolved if you do, and you'll score 1 culture for playing a future event (score culture = age of event)
-
Jorbles plays an Age I event, scoring 1 culture.
No event comes up. Nothing happens (this is the event card that was on top).
-
Considering most possible remaining Age A events would relatively hurt me right now, I consider this a 'good outcome'
-
Well that was disappointing.
Civil actions
Revolution!
Military actions
Build swordsman (2 resources)
Take cards
I think this means I should get +1 food, -2 resources (build swordsman), +3 resources, -3 science (revolution), +2 science, +1 culture
-
Jorbles produces 2-1 food, 3-1 resources (1 less to avoid corruption), 1 culture and 2 science, drawing 3 military cards. Is the corruption avoidance ok for you or do you wish to adjust your move?
-
Nope that's fine. K great I'm disappearing until tomorrow. Have fun!

ipofanes plays an Age I event, scoring 1 culture.
Strategic Territory (I) comes up (Permanent: +2 strength. One time: Draw 3 military cards).
ipofanes, start bidding.
Short summary of bidding rules stolen from Tables:
Territory: Everyone, starting with the current player, may publicly bid an amount, or pass. The first person to bid bids at least one, everyone else must exceed the previous bid or pass. Bidding circles around until all but one player passes. The person who won must muster up the amount they bid in strength, which does not count their usual strength but only bonuses for colonization and sacrificed units (the winner MUST sacrifice at least one unit).
-
question: does the tactics card help here? that is, if i bid 5, can i pay it with 2 swordsmen, for example?
-
oh nm i think you answered that. (no)
-
That is possible. If you sacrifice a full army, the bonus is counted. (you don't have to sacrifice the army card for this.)
-
The tactic card, that is.
I bid one.
-
Well, you don't have to sacrifice the army card either, since it doesn't exist.
-
Bid 4
Yes I can afford this.
-
I bid six!
-
six, huh? pass
-
ipofanes passes per CO
-
Pass
-
Jorbles pays with 2 swordsmen (4), one bonus card (1) and Colossus bonus (1) per CO.
Since the 3 military cards Jorbles drew were the last in the deck, the discarded military cards are reshuffled and form the new military draw deck, containing 8 cards.
-
Build Knights

better?
-
You can't play a leader before you have him. Also your discard is one card too few, since you have to discard before playing at tactics.
-
(psst. The hint was if you take and play Leonardo before playing Iron you get a resource)

hooray! I knew there was a reason to build religion. (i didn't seed that one though)
Ppe: didn't age a cards get discarded when age ii started?

Ouch, I'm sorry, I think i copied a string instead of a reference when moving stuff around in the sheet.
Age A cards from the military deck don't get discarded.

alright. i doubt it actually changed any decisions i would have made.

I had a game IRL where my opponent didn't go military at all. I got unlucky not drawing many wars or aggressions, but about three turns from the end of the game I drew Holy War, and managed to send his entire population back to the bank. We drew in the end.
-
Tables plays an Age II event, scoring 2 culture.
Barbarians comes up: If culture leader is 1 of the 2 weakest, it loses 1 population.
Jorbles is the culture leader and also the second weakest player. Therefore Jorbles loses 1 population.
-
Well alright. That didn't help me work out what I want to do with my turn. Action Paralysis!
-
Pay Warfare (down to 1 science)
Take Knights
Upgrade Philosophy (-3 resources)
Increase population (-4 food)
I think I should be left with 3 food, 9 resources, 4 science, and should draw 3 military cards
-
Hang on a second...
-
In case you take Knights anyway, please specify which Knights you want.

Okay sorry, realised I needed to add a detail.
Take the top Knights (the one that will be removed this turn)

Reign of Terror comes up: Weakest civilization loses 1 population.
The weakest civilization is Tables. He loses an unused worker.

I might be missing something, but I think you don't have enough unused workers for thus

ahhh crap
umm
if i just don't build a sworsdman, how much corruption do i take
-
No corruption.
You end up with 4 food, 4 iron and 1 bronze, 16 culture and 5 science, 12 strength.
Cards coming up are Opera and Strategy (in this order), with Bread and Circuses removed.
I'll pm your miliary draws.
Spreadsheet update likely won't happen today, sorry again.

Ah, yes, I overlooked you already revealed the new cards.
I would really love having the automatic GMing of boardgaming-online with the table talk down here. No offense intended, but in boardgaming-online I can play out all my actions, examine the consequences on strength, corruption, happiness etc. before committing or resetting. Makes me three levels better. I could do this here too (and sometimes do :-[) but I'd waste someone else's time.
But the chat boards around the games in BGO are silent as a library.
-
Ok then.
Take Constitutional Monarchy from card row
Increase population
Discover Alchemy
Play Ideal Building Site for additional Alchemy
This should steer me clear of corruption, though I have not worked out my new standings.
-
Hm, yeah, I was considering doing things via BGO, but I would have doubted I'd get the necessary player count, because, well it's not as much fun when you say 'hey guys let's go play a game on this other site!' Most people wouldn't be so interested, basically.

This is a great platform to get people into the game, to iron out obvious blunders etc. But everyone who got a kick out of it by playing here, do take a look at BGO. It fits the game as Goko Isotropic fits Dominion.

Well, one reason I can participate in TtAI so readily is because of this format. Fiddling about with text and spreadsheets is more convenient for me in general.
Though, I did take a look at BGO last night. I haven't done anything with it yet other than start a solitary game, but it looks pretty neat.
-
New cards are patriotism and journalism, with wave of nationalism being removed.
I'll pm you your military draws, ipofanes.
Btw, I'd be in for a bgo game once I'm back home next year.
-
I would be down to try it as well. Kuildeous, how did you launch a solitary-game? It only goes down to 2-player.
Not sure how it's format works, but I'm sure I can figure it out with a little work.
I do enjoy the format that we have going here though very much.
-
Spreadsheet up to date now.
-
...How did I end up with so many resources!? Hmm...
No Political action. Discarding two age II cards
Take Republic
Take Selective Breeding
Play Knights
Take Work of Art
Build Knights
Build Knights
4 food, 13 resources (2 lost to corruption), 5 science.
-
Move will be processed later, but is valid.
New cards are republic, riflemen, efficient upgrade and revolutionary idea (AGE II versions), with journalism removed.
military draw will be pmed.
-
Alright, just let me work out what the board looks like and I'll take my turn.
-
Political Action
I seed an Age II event/territory.
-
Jorbles scores 2 culture.
Scientific breakthrough comes up. Each civilization scores culture equal to its science rating.
Not sure wether I'll get to update the spreadsheet before Christmas.
-
Okey dokey.
Political Actions:
Increase Population (2 food, 1 resource)
Play James Cook
Play Alchemy
Upgrade Philosophy to Alchemy (3 resources)
Take Justice System
Military Actions:
Build Warrior (2 resources)
Take Cards.
This should leave me with the following after maintenance and production:
Food: 1
Resources: 3
Science: 3
Culture: 16 + 2 + 4 = 22
Strength: 12
This look okay to everyone?

Jorbles plays an Age II event, scoring 2 culture. Scientific Breakthrough comes up: Each civilization immediately scores science = to science rating. Oops, i got that wrong earlier, sorry. cayvie and ipofanes get 3 science, Tables 4, Jorbles 2.
Jorbles produces 2-2 food, 3 resources, 4 culture and 3 science, and will draw 2 military cards after sending me his discards.
Feel free to adjust your move to the additional science you have, sorry about that.
-
I should draw 3 military cards, I only used one military action, but aside from that looks good. I won't be changing my actions, 2 science isn't enough to change things.

Sorry, I am off for Christmas momentarily. Merry Christmas everybody!

Jorbles' turn to bid.

As much as I'd like to have bid, I think... about 5 or 6 is my reasonable limit :(.

This is why I have these Colonization bonuses. :P Bid 8.

Upgrade Philosophy --> Alchemy
Upgrade Bronze --> Iron
Upgrade Agriculture --> Irrigation
This should leave me at 9 resources and 4 food, 12 strength and 13 science.

That's just for actions, you can do five.
Also I think it will leave you with 6 resources after production.

I don't see anything wrong with the events, the Age II events since the military deck was last reshuffled are future events, not yet current events. Remember that events from later ages are always put on bottom when the event deck is shuffled.

Goodwork Tables, and apologies ipofanes. I thought cayvie had discarded already. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
Can we prod Cayvie?
-
We can, but she's disappeared in other games too. I'm not sure she has internet access.
-
I pmed her already, but I pretty much agree with Jorbles.
-
What are our options?
1) We wait.
2) Someone could fill in until cayvie gets back.
3) Someone could completely replace cayvie.
4) cayvie could honourably resign from the game, in which case, watno could just pick her discards as they won't have much affect on the game.
It's been over a week and cayvie has been prodded. I don't mind waiting a little longer, but I'd suggest we try to do option 2 or 3 if cayvie doesn't show up soon, with 4 as a last resort if no one can fill in.
-
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Also, Cayvie's a she? Oops... :-[
-
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Also, Cayvie's a she? Oops... :-[
cayvie keeps it secret, but responds to either he or she. I guess she, but i have no reason for doing so.
-
Ah, right. Well, that's fair enough.
-
I will be away this weekend, and if cayvie hasn't reappeared until then I will look for a replacement player. I hope this is ok with everyone.
-
Fine by me.
-
If you need a sub, I'd be interested...although I've never played before so there's that. I read through the end of the advanced game rules the other day...and then read through TtAIV. It's a little hard to follow without playing, but maybe if I'm subbing in this will be easier to follow.
Anyways, I'll read over this thread and see if I can figure out what's going on.
-
If Cayvie doesn't return, I think that'd be good. Watno can probably give you a helping hand getting started. If you want to try and get a better handle on the rules, I'd suggest registering on BGO (http://www.boardgaming-online.com/index.php?cnt=1) and start up a game on your own (add yourself as the opponent). It should probably help you get a better grip of things like how various aspects work and the like.
-
Okay so if cayvie hasn't shown up by Monday, theorel can sub in then?
-
So, you're in, theorel. I'll send you cayvie's sheet in a second, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Political Action
Play Aggression: Plunder vs. Tables Sacrificing a Cannon. I think that's 16 strength + 3 for cannon + 1? because of the great wall bonus? (not sure if it gets doubled for sacrificed units) So 19 or 20 strength depending on how bonuses work.
-
It's 19 strength since the Great Wall doesn't increase the strength of your civilization. This also costs you 2 military actions
-
Wow, Tables has 15 resources, how did that happen?
-
What age Plunder is it?
-
On second thoughts it doesn't matter. Pass. theorel, you're being foolish, sacrificing 5 resources and 4 food worth of unit to take 5 resources/food from me :P.

It's an Age II plunder. Jorbles, please specify wether you want food or resources.

...Or combination therof, noting I only have 2 food.

Umm yeah.

Ah, oops, I misunderstood the sacrificing of units (for some reason I thought it was like disbanding them. It seemed like to move forward I would need to disband something anyways, so I considered it essentially no loss. Oh well, this still works well enough for me.)

Also I noticed I gave Jorbles 2 culture less than he should have gotten in the last update.
Nooooooo, that was the one event that totally sinks my strategy. (I guess a successful assassination would have also.) Bah.
Yeah, that's nasty when it comes at the dawn of a new age.

Sry, I'm not home and won't be able to update the sheet until tomorrow probably.

Although, importantly...you don't currently have a warrior. :)

Actually, one other thing: why did ipofanes gain 3 culture on Jorbles' turn?
Turn 14: Jorbles he has 0 culture.
Then Turn 15: theorel he has 3.
He now has 6 in the spreadsheet (since he gained 3 for playing an age 3 event).
Should he just have had 3 culture from earlier and it was correcting an error, or is this now an error?
-
There was an event that caused him to get the culture.
you're right about the warrior though.
-
oh, right forgot about that. That's the event that cost me 1 population...now I remember it.

ipofanes, please correct your sacrifice since you don't have a warrior.

Oh excellent then I have nothing to complain about, well except that Tables stops getting -1 culture.

He's also 1 strength weaker, so...you just need to attack him to make up for it :P

You have 10 resources at the start of your turn, 5 after building the rifleman.
Upgrading Iron->Oil is 6 resources.
Disbanding an Iron instead of taking Air Forces would give you two additional actions and no corruption (but of course you would produce less since you have 1 iron mine less)

Sry for not giving you a warning that the game was close to ending, I didn't expect it myself.
@theorel: For each food of consumption you cannot pay, you lose 4 VP.
@ipofanes: You only lose 3 population, apart from that: Yes.
-
Okay, I found it...
I forgot that consumption was increasing for Age IV. Switch the disbanded Irrigation for a disbanded Iron.
-
One of them or both?
-
Just the one still avoids the famine right? (2 income - 4 consumed + 2 in storage = 0 food left over)

Right. So one Iron, one Irrigation?

-
That was the last Impact. Congratulations to Tables for winning.
Thanks everyone for playing and especially theorel for replacing in. I hope you all enjoyed the game despite the numerous mistakes I made.
-
It was? There was still an Age II card in the deck? In that case WHOO! I wasn't expecting to win after messing age III up, but I think ipofanes declaring war helped out (I'd have possibly won without that though, doing what I originally planned... hard to say...)
-
Yeah, there was one Age II card left.
-
Did I play Impact of Colonies? I don't remember doing it, but I don't see why anyone else would have.
-
Tables did, and it seems to me that move made sense.
-
Mostly I was expecting a good age II event, and in terms of culture for me, it kinda worked out as slightly positive. I was debating between that and I think impact of Wonders (actually changed my mind on it), which I think would be slightly worse in terms of average, but I was less concerned about you than theorel at that point IIRC.
-
Yeah, if you'd seeded Wonders we would have tied...I actually went through to check on all the impacts and Science, Strength, Colonies, and Technology were all really bad for me compared to Tables. But I had Technology (unseeded).
Unfortunately 2 of the other 3 made it in.
-
Apologies to everyone save Tables for kingmaking. That war was uncalled for. I had culture issues from the very start and was unable to catch up.
-
You gave him 9 points right? So, if you hadn't declared that war (and nothing else had changed...which is silly since things probably would have changed if you hadn't declared the war, but for the sake of argument...)
Then Tables would have had 126 and been 1 point behind Jorbles and I.
Honestly, Tables might have not gone as far in military, and done something else for more points. I mean he could probably have gotten the military-lead for the end-game points still without using Aircraft, and spent that action and 11 tech to do something else for at least 2 points. I'd say he probably would still have won.
Regardless I totally botched my first couple actions in this game (should have used the weaker tactic I had, which I discarded as my first action before fully understanding where cayvie was in the game). And I only played around half the total turns. Lots of fun though, and totally want in the next one to play from the beginning whenever that happens.

Have you checked out BGO, theorel?
It's a site where you can play async TTA. Due to the lack of a need for a mod and the impossibility of mistakes, the game moves a lot faster there.
Here's the thread where quite a lot of people from f.ds arrange games: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6139.0

I actually made a last ditch effort for tying on Impact of Strength as I misunderstood the tiebreaker rule. Not that there's much else I could have done on my last turn. I needed that wonder finished and there wasn't a lot else I could have done with 2 resources. Anyhow, well played Tables.

I kind of like everything being here...but I can switch to BGO since that's where the games are.

I know what you mean, I love exploring new games all in one place. I'm constantly surprised by how creatively (and seemingly quickly) people on this forum can adapt a complicated game into some spreadsheets and some forum posts.

I tend to think that the forum system lends itself better to table talk and banter than this "Chat" function you automatically leave after typing a line. Play with some chaps over here and there's always cries of disappointment for a card snatched from the row. Play with the same guys over there and BAM! silence like in a library.
