Note: Mage Knight - The Board Game is no simple game. I will accept players which are new to the game. But please spend some time to read the rulebook(s).
Also, this game will probably last a while. So, I expect that you commit to the game and send in your move within 1-2 days.

Link to the introductionary Walkthrough (read this if you are learning the game)
Link to the rulebook (basically a full reference)

On BGG are some pretty good Referece sheets, e.g. this or this.

I want to do either the "Full Conquest" or the "Full Cooperation" scenario. Basically the standard game either in a competitive or a cooperative mode.
The "Full Conquest" will be without PvP attacks though because this would make it even harder for newer players.
This game will be without the newly released expansion, mainly because I don't know it yet.
So, if you signup, tell me which scenario you like to play.
If we get more than 4 players, I will make 2 games.

Forum rules:
You will receive cards via PM.
When you make a move please make it bold, so that I know that this is your final decision.
Mana dice rolls could be done now with the die here.
1 = Gold / 2 = White / 3 = Red / 4 = Green / 5 = Blue / 6 = Black

Locations

Ancient Ruins
When Revealed: Place a yellow token here face up if it is Day, face down if it is Night. A face down token is revealed at the start of the next Day Round, or if someone enters the space.
While Unconquered: You can enter the ancient ruins as your action for the turn. There will either be an altar there, or enemies to fight.
Altar: You can pay 3 mana of the color shown on the yellow token as tribute to the altar. If you do, mark the space with a Shield token and gain 7 Fame as your reward.
Enemies: Draw the enemies depicted on the yellow token and fight them. Any undefeated enemies remain on the space and can be fought later. If you defeat the last enemy here, mark the space with a Shield token and get the reward depicted on the yellow token.

City
When Revealed: Place the city figure of the corresponding color on the space. Find that city's description card and place it on the table. Put the enemy tokens depicted on that figure face down on the City card. The tokens are revealed when a player is adjacent to the city (even at Night).
While Unconquered: Can be assaulted by one or more players and assaulting players get Reputation -1. Defending enemies are fortified and get the bonuses indicated on the upper part of the City card. Whenever a player defeats a defending enemy, he puts a Shield token on the City card. If all enemies are defeated, the city is conquered and the player with the most Shield tokens is the city leader (if a tie, the player who first placed a Shield token is the leader).
While Conquered: Multiple players can occupy the city and player vs. player combat is not allowed here. Units with the city symbol can be recruited here. See the light side of the City card for other interaction options. During interaction in the city, players get an Influence bonus equal to the number of Shield tokens he has here.
Bonus: When you end your turn on or adjacent to a city, draw 2 extra cards if you are that city's leader, or 1 extra card if you have at least one Shield token on the city.

Crystal Mines
Mining: If you end your turn on a mine, gain one mana crystal of the color that the mine produces to your Inventory.

Draconum
When Revealed: Place a red Draconum enemy token face up on this space.
Effect: No one can enter a space that is occupied by a Draconum enemy token. Draconum can be provoked into combat by a player who moves from one space adjacent to it to another space adjacent to it.
Action: You can challenge a Draconum from an adjacent space as your action. If you defeat it, discard the enemy token and you get Reputation +2.

Dungeon
While Unconquered: You can enter a dungeon as your action for the turn. If you do, reveal a brown enemy token and fight it. Night rules apply for this combat and Units cannot be used. If you defeat the enemy, mark the space with a Shield token and roll a mana die to determine your reward. For gold or black, gain a Spell; otherwise, gain an Artifact.
While Conquered: You can enter a conquered dungeon to fight a random brown enemy token. If you defeat it, you get no reward (other than the Fame) and you do not mark the space with a Shield token.

Keep
When Revealed: Place a grey enemy token face down on this space. This token is revealed during the Day if a player is adjacent to it.
Unconquered Keep: Can be assaulted and you get Reputation -1. The defending enemies are fortified. If successfully assaulted, mark it with a Shield token. You now own that keep.
Other Player's Keeps: Can be assaulted and you get Reputation -1. If the owner is not present, draw a random grey enemy token as the defender. They are fortified. If successful, you get half Fame (rounded up) for defeating the defenders and you replace the owner's shield token with one of your own.
Your Keep: You can recruit Units with the keep icon here. If you end your turn on or adjacent to a keep you own, draw an extra card for each keep you own.

Mage Tower
When Revealed: Place a violet enemy token face down on this space. The token is revealed during the Day if a player is adjacent to it.

Marauding Orcs

I am interested, and will spend some time with the rules when I get a chance.  I might /out if the rules make me feel like I really dislike the game.  But otherwise I can play and am willing to be committed to it.  I need a time drain, not playing mafia has left me with too much free time.  There is such a thing.

[popsofctown]

I suspect that since PvP enabled is the normal way to play, we should compensate for the reduced interaction by opting for a competitive game type. 

It's like, if you're not ready to play with Witch yet, at least have a City stack or Dukes right?

[popsofctown]

Do you have to have an empty deck to call "End of Round"? or is it just extremely unlikely that you would want to do so with cards remaining in your deck?

It seems like one of the advantages of going first during daytime is that you can take one of the solar manas and use it, then possibly screw it on the reroll so that the player who goes last doesn't get access to any solar mana.  Is that a correct understanding?

[popsofctown]

The rules are making me laugh, I like the flavor all over the place.  "Units will not help you burn down the Monastery, as they feel what you are doing is very wrong".

[popsofctown]

Reading these rules is making me wish I was involved in some sort of local boardgaming group 

[Watno]

Where are all the people who voted for this?

I read through the Walkthrough, and there are less funny things in it than in other Chvatil rulebooks

I'd prefer a competitive scenario as well, I think cooperative would take much longer, since everyone would need to chime in on every decision.

@pops rule questions: I think you can't call end of round with cards left in the deck. And I think you're right about the solar mana, but it's unlikely that all of the mana the latter players need will aready be gone after a turn.

[popsofctown]

Yeah, it's weird that there aren't more signups. +thx

[Insomniac]

I want to play I'm just not sure I can commit to a turn or 2 a day right now.

[Qvist]

Yes, you have to have an empty deck.

On the first day the bigger advantage going first is IMO to get to a location you want to go to because it's getting pretty tight at the start.

And yes, where are all those who voted for this?

[Qvist]

I want to play I'm just not sure I can commit to a turn or 2 a day right now.

That's sad. But it's not 2 turns a day. It'll be more like a turn per 2 days.

[Kuildeous]

I can't say no to learning a new Chvatil game.

Sounds complex, but then again so are Dungeon Lords and Dungeon Petz.

Quick question: Is this game manageable with just spreadsheets and text, or will there be graphics involved? The game would be more accessible to me if it's text/spreadsheet-based.

If so, then count me /in.

And it'll help me make an informed decision on plunking down $80 for a new board game. Though, it's a Chvatil game, which means I probably can't drum up people to commit to it.

[Watno]

I'm pretty sure this won't work without the map.

[Kuildeous]

Such a dilemma.

Okay, put me down for a tentative /in. If you get a fifth person, I'll drop out. No worries, no regrets.

If you're hard up for players, though, I can be /in. I'll just confine myself to checking on the game only at home. That should still be within the 1-turn-every-2-days requirement, but it also depends on my rehearsal and performance schedules.

[theorel]

I would like to /in.
NOTE: I'm going to be moving at some point in April, so that might cause a temporary disruption to gaming.

[Watno]

http://unofficialmageknighttheboardgame.wikia.com/wiki/Unofficial_Mage_Knight_-_The_Boardgame_Wiki
This seems to be useful for looking up card effects.

[popsofctown]

Theorel!

Can I be Tovak?  He looks way OP.  Ice block can be used as a normal block right?

[Watno]

Yeah, Ice Block can be used as normal block.
I wanna play this right now.

[Qvist]

I think I can't see who voted for what in the original poll. So, I don't know if there's still anyone left who wants to play this. I'll wait a little bit longer for now.

Kuildeous, the map has to be done with images. I would take too much time for me to recreate this in a spreadsheet. But the rest will be text.

[theorel]

Glancing through the QVist Games thread, it looks like Jorbles might have also voted for Mage Knight.

[Galzria]

I love me a good (and which one isn't?) Chvatil game...

I'm just playing so many new games at once right now, and I hate that lost feeling of a new game. Once played I like spending time -really- learning a game. So while I'm enjoying ask these new games, I'm feeling overwhelmed with competing strategies for different games that I'm just starting to understand.

That said, if you don't mind my being terribly overwhelmed, I'll play. Time commitment and being around to take my turns will, at least, be the least of your worries.

[Qvist]

Galzria, I will help you as good as I can. No problem.

And I guess I could start two games, probably. And with no PvP there should be no problem if I play in one of them to fill up empty spots.

[Kuildeous]

I believe I voted for MK. It's the only Chvatil game I haven't played yet.

Since we're looking at moves every other day, I could be /in. Like I said, I'll have to refer to the map at home…possibly on my phone. I just wouldn't be as responsive to the game as I am in other games.

I haven't even read the rules yet, so I don't know which mode I want. I can certainly see the pitfall of turns taking longer due to table talk in a cooperative game. But I'll try either mode.

[Qvist]

I guess we'll do competive, but without PvP. And maybe I can start one game which goes faster and one which goes slower.
Then maybe Lekkit and Insomniac could even join the slower one if they want to.

[Jorbles]

Inininininininin

[Jorbles]

Further I voted for this too. I'm really excited to learn this game. I've watched a few let's plays already so am familiar with the gameplay, but I'll go over the rules again to make sure I have it down. I'd prefer to do something competetive, but will play coop if everyone wants that.

[popsofctown]

I am excited too. I wish I had meatworld friends to play games like this with face to face. 

I do have friends, but this is a little too complex for their kind, which is a shame.

[Jorbles]

Yeah, I'm in the same position, people rarely want to sit down and play a 3+ hour game.

[Insomniac]

Ill /in

[Qvist]

Cool. One more? Lekkit?

[Ozle]

Will i be able to invade France? If not, then /out

[Jorbles]

You could pretend that we were playing in the French countryside, than it would be like you were rampaging through France.

[Watno]

Note, however, that we're discovering a world that already exists, not a city in medieval France

[Ozle]

You could pretend that we were playing in the French countryside, than it would be like you were rampaging through France.

I do that in my mind during the downtime anyways...

[Qvist]

So we have 7 players. One spot left. If no-one enters I take the last spot.

Any preference regarding how to split the group? Most are beginners, so we can't split experienced players and new players from another.
And I think we can't split by time zone. So maybe a faster game and a slower game?

[Watno]

I'm in for a faster game.

How will you handle knowing other players hands if playing yourself.

[popsofctown]

faster faster

[Qvist]

I'm in for a faster game.

How will you handle knowing other players hands if playing yourself.

That's what I said. If no-one has a problem with it, I play. Knowing other players hands is IMO only a problem in PBF PvP. But a 3-player game works too.

[Watno]

I guess that's ok, feel free to play. After all, we're here to have fun.

[popsofctown]

That's what I said. If no-one has a problem with it, I play. Knowing other players hands is IMO only a problem in PBF. But a 3-player game works too.

PBF?  Does that mean PvP? 
Why not level the playing field and just play the game with hands revealed?  It seems better to me than Qvist trying to forget seeing that Watno had enough movepoints in hand to beat him out to the next village if he doesn't burn a mana to get there, then deciding not to go and then wondering if that's what he would have done with less information and lalala.

Just show everyone's hands to everybody and it's more fair.  It would also help us learn and discuss the game, like they recommend in the rules. 

[Qvist]

PBF?  Does that mean PvP? 

Ha, I editted faster. But I guess, it's better if I don't play on second thought.

[Qvist]

I start this game tomorrow. So, you have one more day for signups ... and reading the rules.

[popsofctown]

"Consult the Scenario description to
see of which level this city has to be"

Does the Scenario description have supply piles in it?

[theorel]

I feel like I'm kind of in the middle for game-speed?  You guys have played enough games with me to know how frequently I post.  This game should see me active about as often as all the others.

[Watno]

I think everyone in terra mystica I can be considered fast.

[Qvist]

Ok, I think I could start the faster game already with Watno, pops, theorel and Jorbles. Insomniac, Kuildeous and Galzria will then be in the slower game and we'll wait for a fourth player.

[Qvist]

Game starts

I found these images on BGG. You can use these images for your posts or signature if you want.






You'll find a legend in post 2 of this thread. Post 3 will contain the current game state.

First pick a hero.
Each hero starts basically with the same starting deck. But one card is replaced with a better version fitting to the hero.
Also each hero has a different set of skills.
Goldyx has skills fitting to the green color. This means gaining more mana/crystals, healing and movement
Norowas has skills fitting to the white color. This means Influence/Recruiting Units and Ranged Attack
Tovak has skills fitting to the blue color. This means Ice, Blocking and Flexibility
Arythea has skills fitting to the red color. This means Fire, Attacking and Dealing with Wounds

I randomize players:
theorel
Jorbles
pops
Watno

theorel, please select your hero.

[theorel]

I'll take Norowas.

[Qvist]

Jorbles, please select your hero.

[Watno]

2: Rethink When you take this Tactic, take one mana die of a basic color from the Source and put it on this card. You can use that mana on any of your turns this Day. If you do, reroll it at the end of that turn and return it to the Source.
3: Mana Steal When you take this Tactic, discard up to 3 cards (including Wounds) from your hand, then draw that many cards. Shuffle your discard pile back into your Deed deck.

I think this should be the other way round, right?

I'll take the hero left over when it's my turn.

You have no other choice. 

[Watno]

Isn't flipping the table an option as well?

[Tables]

Isn't flipping the table an option as well?

I'd prefer you didn't .

[Jorbles]

I'll take Goldyx.

[Qvist]

pops, you may choose between Tovak and Arythea.

[popsofctown]

Theorel!

Can I be Tovak?  He looks way OP.  Ice block can be used as a normal block right?

[Qvist]

Right. I forgot about this. pops takes Tovak and Watno takes Arythea. I already done all the game state stuff. Now I only have to build the map and send you your hands. Then we can start.

I don't like my hand.

Rethink.

[popsofctown]

Does Planning let you draw an additional card if you have two Wounds left in your hand, or no?

And I wasn't sure what scenario we are playing, I'll look for full conquest in the rules..

[popsofctown]

You know what, either way I'll just wait for The Right Moment. 

Can I use the card to get an extra turn, then skip that turn to call end of round (if I meet the condition and have no cards in deck)?
Or would that not exactly be "taking an extra turn after this one".

[Qvist]

Yes

And I wasn't sure what scenario we are playing, I'll look for full conquest in the rules..

Full Conquest: No special rules. 3 days and nights. Normal scoring.

[Qvist]

Jorbles goes first.
2 extra notes. Please note when your turn is over with something like "End of turn" just to avoid confusion.
Also please re-roll the mana source.

[Jorbles]

When rerolling mana, am I correct to assume that all dice have even distributions? (Blue-Green-Red-White-Day-Night)

[Jorbles]

Or Gold, Black to use the correct terminology.

[Qvist]

1 = Gold / 2 = White / 3 = Red / 4 = Green / 5 = Blue / 6 = Black

[Jorbles]

K here goes:

Play Crystallize Using Gold mana die to gain 1 White Crystal

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[Jorbles]

Play Mana Draw and Threaten sideways for 2 Move
Flip Flight and spend 2 move to Fly to the Green Mine <--Watno pointed out I don't have this skill yet.

[Jorbles]

Did I do good or did I break all the rules?

[Watno]

Um, you don't have flight yet I think. It's just a skill you can learn.

[Jorbles]

Ohhhhh, I thought we started with all those skills. Man we're not nearly as cool as I thought we were.

[Qvist]

Um, you don't have flight yet I think. It's just a skill you can learn.

Yeah, I was just going to say that. Sorry for the confusion. You have no skills at the moment. You learn a new skill every 2 level ups.

[Jorbles]

In that case I will:

Spend my 2 move to move 1 hex up.

[Jorbles]

If that's all legal.

End of turn.

[Qvist]

Yes, your move is legal. Processing it now.
Btw: Please re-roll the mana source die at the end of your turn.

[Jorbles]

Okay, I'll do it at the end in the future. Also sorry for rolling black everyone else. At least I got to use the Gold! 

[Watno]

Play March empowered by Gold mana for Move 4
Play Stamina for Move 2
Move to the Village on the top tile.
End turn

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[Watno]

More black

Okay, I'm going to play:
empowered March.
Swiftness
To get to the village in the south.
I did not draw the cards that I wanted.

[popsofctown]

Does it cost move points to challenge a rampaging enemy to battle?  Or can you just stand in an adjacent space and yell "Fight me"?

[popsofctown]

Theorel, if that's all you are going to turn you should clearly indicate that you are ending your turn.

And if you are powering March with mana you have to reroll the mana die at that point too.

[Jorbles]

Okay, I'm going to play:
empowered March.
Swiftness
To get to the village in the south.
I did not draw the cards that I wanted.

Neither did I, I started with little ability to move, then I redrew 3 cards and none of them were move cards either.

[Qvist]

Swiftness

Just to be clear. This will leave you with 5 cards still in hand. So you won't draw any new cards next turn unless you discard some of your cards.
You know that you may still interact in the village in this turn, right?

[Qvist]

Does it cost move points to challenge a rampaging enemy to battle?  Or can you just stand in an adjacent space and yell "Fight me"?

Just yell "Fight me". Those orcs will come and try to beat you down.

[popsofctown]

When you level up to an even level do you get a random skill?

[Qvist]

You draw 2 skills and choose 1.

Edit: Later you can choose between those 2 skills or one of the previous discarded ones (from the other players). But then you have to take the Advanced Action card in the lowest position.

[Watno]

You only get Skills on odd levels. If you do, you can either take on from the common skill pool (which doesn't exist yet), or pick one of 2 random skills of your own. The other goes to the Skill Pool.
I think so at least.

[popsofctown]

And the skills each have an equal chance of appearing?

[Qvist]

And the skills each have an equal chance of appearing?

Yes.

I selected the option for "notify me about this topic", but nothing happened when Ozle invade France.  Does the forum not consider him a threat?

[Jorbles]

Mostly harmless.

[popsofctown]

Qvist, please change the thread title so theorel knows to adjust his turn as necessary.

[Jorbles]

Or maybe if it's too much work to keep on top of just take whose turn it is out of the main title? That way we'll all keep checking to see if it's our turn, and there won't be the danger of one of us thinking it's still someone else's turn when it's actually our own.

You didn't answer this. Are you sure this is your final move?

[theorel]

Yep...I should have taken a different Tactic.  But that was a really terrible card draw for what I wanted.

[theorel]

Oh, I can just discard right...I discard a Rage.

[Qvist]

Yes, you should discard at the end of your turn. Ok, processing things now.

pops plays Swiftness, sideways Promise, and sideways Crystallize to walk next to the rampaging/roaming orc riding a wolf.  Challenge it to fight, taking the wounds without trying to block, then killing it with an empowered rage, using the red mana available in the source.

He therefore takes 2 Wounds to hand and levels up. Give me a sec.

[Qvist]

pops draws

Double Move Once a turn: Move 2 (during the Day), or Move 1 (during the Night)
Motivation Once a round, on any players turn: Flip this to draw 2 cards. If you have the least fame (not tied), also gain a blue mana token. You cannot use another motivation skill until the end of your next turn.

Which skill do you want and which Advanced Action do you want?

Re-roll the dice, so that I can update and Jorbles can already make his next turn.

Realized I probably should have gained a Green crystal last turn instead of a white one, since I couldn't make it to the mine. Oh well though.

Spend March (move: 2) and Determination (sideways)
Move to Green Crystal Mine

Feel unsatisfied with my options.

I think something is wrong with pops' cards. He shouldn't have a total if 19, should he?

He gained 2 Wounds in hand and an Advanced Action through Leveling Up, it's correct.

End my turn

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[popsofctown]

Wait, if that gives me enough left over movement point to explore, then I want to look and reveal the area to the southeast.

[Watno]

I think you're one movement point short of exploring, but you could have kept your Concentration.

[Qvist]

I think you're one movement point short of exploring, but you could have kept your Concentration.

This. Would you like to play another card sideways to explore or do you want to keep Concentration?

[popsofctown]

I said what I meant and meant what I said, if I can't afford to explore, then I don't want to.
Playing Concentration was another way of discarding it, I don't want it in my hand.

[popsofctown]

The idea behind doing that was to make sure I definitely had enough move points to at least get to the mine to keep the game moving, but now instead the game has been held up because my play looked weird >_<.

I didn't realize the mine is on a hill. 


It would have been sketchy to let me have a takeback after rolling the mana die anyway (although, again, I wouldn't have chosen any differently). I already had some new information from rolling Red

[Jorbles]

Here's my turn. It's complicated so I'm not going to end my turn immediately in case I made a mistake or misinterpreted the rules.

Use Green Crystal to play Will Focus gain a Green Crystal and play Stamina at the stronger value for +7 movement.
Spend 6 Move to get to the Magic Glade provoking the Diggers to come attack me there.
Eat the damage (2 wounds).
Use Red Mana Die to play Rage for Attack 4 killing Diggers

+2 fame, +1 reputation, +2 wounds.
Heal a wound for being on a magic glade.

[popsofctown]

I think you don't gain a Green Crystal when you use the powerful half of Will Focus.  But other than that your turn looks legal.

[popsofctown]

"Will Focus (replaces Concentration) Gain a blue, white or red mana token, or gain a green crystal to your Inventory. /// When you play this, play another Action card with it. Get the stronger effect of that card for free. If that effect gives you Move, Influence, Block or any type of Attack, get that amount plus 3."

The green crystal gain belongs to the weak version of the action.  You can't get both.

[Jorbles]

Ohh, that makes sense actually. I wasn't sure whether "When you play this,..." meant to do both things on the card or whether it meant just do the bonus. I can live without the extra crystal.

Sorry. I like to double check because this is no easy game and it's hard to miss things. And I don't think anyone would have had any objections if you changed your move slightly. The only new knowledge is the mana dice re-roll. (and btw. if you had wished to explore you just could have powered Concentration instead of March to get the required movement).

I am processing now.

[popsofctown]

(and btw. if you had wished to explore you just could have powered Concentration instead of March to get the required movement).

Shitoki mushrooms.  Yeah, my neural pathways snaked around that somehow amongst all the options I was considering.  Player error.

[Qvist]

Play Swiftness to move to Anient Ruins
(I'd like to know what's in that Mage Tower.)

This would cause you to fight a green and a brown enemy.

[popsofctown]

What?  I thought that's an adventure site, and therefore optional.

[Watno]

According to my reading of the ruls, entering the ruins is optional, isn't it?

[Qvist]

What?  I thought that's an adventure site, and therefore optional.

Let me check this. Maybe I played this wrong.

[popsofctown]

Some copypasta:
"Find and read the Ruin
Description card.
Ruins are another
adventure site where you
may move into the space
and choose to ignore
the site or enter it. But
beware, Ruins can contain... well... anything; including the most
challenging adventures that can be found in the land.
When revealed, place a yellow ruins token there. If it is Day, place
the token face up – if it is Night, place it face down. A face down
token does not get revealed until the start of a Day Round, or until
someone moves into the space.
Ruins contain two diƲ erent types of adventure for you to complete:"

[Qvist]

What?  I thought that's an adventure site, and therefore optional.

Let me check this. Maybe I played this wrong.

You're right. Nice, another thing learned.

[Watno]

That's the Ice Golems, right?

[popsofctown]

Yes

[popsofctown]

You should attack immediately.

[Watno]

Yeah, figuring out the best way.

[popsofctown]

Wait, really?  You must have a really nice hand.

EDIT: Oh, not really.  If he has his Arythea unique card he can do it with ease.

[Jorbles]

I think he's got 7 cards (8 - Swiftness), plus Peasants, it actually seems pretty reasonable that he could attack it.

[popsofctown]

And I felt like such a big shot for taking down a little orc riding a wolf 

[Watno]

I think this should work, but probably i missed something.
Play Concentration for a blue mana token.
Play March to move to and assault Mage Tower. (-1 rep)
No ranged combat.
Play Determination powered by blue token to Block.
Play Battle Versatiliy powered by red die from source for Fire Attack 3, use Peasants for Attack 2, killing Ice Golems.

[popsofctown]

Ok, so his reputation is really crappy now.  That makes me feel slightly better.

[popsofctown]

That all looked about right to my untrained eye.  What spell do you desire?

[Watno]

Oh yeah, that Fire Ball looks cool.
Reroll Red power die:

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[popsofctown]

Fireball is a good choice considering the way the dice seem to be loaded..

[Qvist]

You level up.

You can choose:

Power of Pain Once a turn: You can play one Wound sideways, as if it were a non-Wound card. It gives +2 instead of +1. At the end of your turn, put that Wound in your discard pile.
Motivation Once a round, on any players turn: Flip this to draw 2 cards. If you have the least fame (not tied), also gain a red mana token. You cannot use another motivation skill until the end of your next turn.

or the skill in the skill offer. Which Advanced Action do you want?

I'll take Power of Pain and Regeneration.

Sorry, I'm not that fast. A lot happened, so I double checked everything and I didn't have to update the thread title since Jorbles because Watno already sent in his move while I was updating Jorbles's move.

[theorel]

Okay, fun times now...I'm pretty sure this should all work:
Play Concentration for a White mana token.
Spend Woodsman for Move 2, reduce all Woods/Hills by 1.
Play Stamina for Move 2.
Use 4 Move to move into/Assault the Keep (-1 Rep).

Leaves in the Wind

Ok, I see now that I got confused with the names and coloring. I used the coloring right. But I just noticed that I somehow switched the heroes from Norowas and Tovak on the map. I now moved Norowas correctly, but Tovak should be on the mine.

So, here the clarification: Norowas is the white character, but has the lighter blue model. Tovak is the blue character, but has the greyish model.
Never got confused before, but now it seems so confusing. 

[popsofctown]

The last picture you drew depicts no one on the south mine.  I should be on the south mine.

Tovak should be on the mine.

[popsofctown]

Ooooh, this is awesome.

I use my Double Move skill to step into the adjacent Village.  I interact there, getting Influence +1 from my reputation because they know I'm a badass that kills wolf riders. 
Then I use red mana from the source to power Improvisation, discarding a Stamina from my hand to get 5 more influence.
Then I use the white crystal in my pocket to power Heroic Tale, getting six more influence and one Fame and Reputation for each unit I recruit this turn.

That gives me 12 total influence, so I can afford to recruit Utem Crossbowmen and still have enough left over for 2 points of healing.

I end my turn, rolling the red mana die I used.

Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4

[popsofctown]

WTF am I reading Leaves in the Wind right?  That seems ridiculously powerful.  Why would you ever take a common skill offer skill over it when you can just use it to gain whatever you wanted?

[Watno]

You don't get +1 from reputation, you only got to the better 0 space so far.

[WinterSpartan]

(Lurker interjection) You are not reading Leaves in the Wind right. The "or one of the skills in the common offer" referred to his choices for skill selection. Leaves in the Wind is just a green crystal and a white token (which isn't bad, but isn't nearly as good as "take a skill from the center" would be.)

[popsofctown]

OHHH, that makes so much sense, thanks Spartan.

[popsofctown]

Ok, I will only heal 1 then.

[theorel]

Also, @QVist: whenever you get around to it, I'd like to get my hand...(which 2 cards did I not get?)

[Qvist]

Thanks, pops. Now I didn't have to update the map. 

[Jorbles]

Oh man, I was about to take the crossbowmen, now what am I going to do?

[Jorbles]

Use Swiftness for Move 2. Explore to the north. (Wait to see what is discovered.)

[Qvist]

Ruins, Keep, Monster Den

[Qvist]

And don't forget that you have a Gold Mana token this turn.

[theorel]

You moved Tovak back to the mine...he's in the village.

[Qvist]

You moved Tovak back to the mine...he's in the village.

Haha, damn. Yeah. Maximum confusion now. Sorry.

[theorel]

I was wondering if better tokens for the characters might be less confusing?  (in particular a less BLUE Norowas)
I grabbed a BGG image of the tokens, and made some pngs out of them...

[Watno]

What's the reward in those ruins?

[Jorbles]

Blurgh, I don't even know what's useful for me to do. I was really counting on taking those Crossbowmen, but now I don't really want to do anything. With my wound I can't realistically Move and then fight anything.

[Jorbles]

I guess I'll end my turn. I don't want to explore an area that only other players will be able to get to.

[Watno]

Play empowered Tranquility to draw 2 cards.

[Qvist]

Thanks for this. But then I have to change the VASSAL module now and recreate the game state which I won't do now. Maybe if I have time, but at least for the next game, sorry.

What's the reward in those ruins?

A unit of your choice

[Watno]

Play Stamina, Swiftness and sidewise Mana Draw to move on the hill to the north and explore

[Qvist]

[Watno]

What type of terrain is that? Looks ugly anyway.

[Qvist]

What type of terrain is that? Looks ugly anyway.

Wasteland 4/4

[Watno]

Play Regeneration to ready Peasants
Use Peasants, Play Improvisation discarding Fire Ball to move to the village in the wasteland.
Challenge Orc.
Take 2 wounds on Hero.
Play Rage and Wound sideways to kill Orc (+1 rep, +2 fame)
End turn

Green die used from source is now:

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[popsofctown]

Raise your hand if you think Watno is going to destroy us all.

[popsofctown]

Can you use a Wound you just gained to play Rage? (I have no idea whether that wound was in Watno's hand at start of turn)
Another rules question I had, the crystallization skill theorel got, if you play it using a blue mana crystal does the blue mana crystal itself get returned along with the others?

[Jorbles]

Raise your hand if you think Watno is going to destroy us all.

Raises hand.

[Ozle]

*raises hand*

[Qvist]

<accidently deleted> oops 

[Qvist]

Can you use a Wound you just gained to play Rage? (I have no idea whether that wound was in Watno's hand at start of turn)
Another rules question I had, the crystallization skill theorel got, if you play it using a blue mana crystal does the blue mana crystal itself get returned along with the others?

With his Power of Pain skill, yes he can.
And I don't know which Crystallation skill you are referring to.

[theorel]

He means Crystal Mastery...and according to something I read (FAQ maybe?) a crystal used to activate it is also returned.

I'm going to use the white source mana to empower Mana Draw.
I'll take a black die, and change it to blue gaining two Blue mana tokens
then I'll use one of the blue mana to play Stamina.
I'll use 2 of my move to explore the area to the east (the only one I can)

[Qvist]

[popsofctown]

Am I allowed to try to conquer theorel's keep with PvP disabled?

[popsofctown]

Not sayin I'm gonna do that to you theorel... just asking I swear. 

Actually I'm pretty sure that'd be a bad idea even if successful.

[Qvist]

Am I allowed to try to conquer theorel's keep with PvP disabled?

Yes. It's only the direct combat that's prohibited.

[theorel]

You can, but not while I'm there

[Ozle]

CRUSH HIM!!!

[Jorbles]

We get an extra turn if Watno ends the round right?

[popsofctown]

Or two in my case

[popsofctown]

I have trouble understanding where the extended coastline is.  Graphically, it looks like the area to the north that Jorbles explored would be beyond the extended coastline.  Is there some clear algorithm you can use?  Because I want to be clear on where I can explore and where I can't.

[theorel]

Okay,
I'll use Leaves in the wind for a green crystal/white mana token.
I'll spend the green crystal to play an empowered March.
I'll use 6 move to go to the white crystal mine.
I'll play tranquility to heal my woodsmen.
I'll use the blue mana with crystallize to get a blue crystal.
I'll use Crystal Mastery to duplicate the Blue Crystal.
End of Turn.

Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4

to see what the white die becomes.
Return the blue die.

[popsofctown]

I want to use my skill to explore, but I have no idea whether I can explore 0, 1, or 2 possible directions from my current hex due to my lack of coastline understanding.

[Jorbles]

I think it's 0 or 1 (to your south), but I'm not sure either.

[theorel]

I believe it's 0...but confirmation would be good.
certainly you can't go West, because the tile would share an edge with water.

Note: The tile down DOES line up with Jorbles' tile.  but based on the picture in the back of the rules, it appears to me that there cannot be a tile lining up there.
---
EDIT: this is clearest to me in the "4-column" map.  The open map is just an extension of that.

[Qvist]

I want to use my skill to explore, but I have no idea whether I can explore 0, 1, or 2 possible directions from my current hex due to my lack of coastline understanding.

From your current location you can't explore. You could explore southeast from the white mine.

Edit: I'll show you this in the next update.

[popsofctown]

:/ I wish I understood why.
Thinking.

[popsofctown]

I can't explore southeast from the white mine, didn't theorel move there?

[Qvist]

I can't explore southeast from the white mine, didn't theorel move there?

I don't know. I'm currently processing his move.

This is the outer bound. I hope it's more clear now.

[popsofctown]

thanks.

Ok, the truth is that I'm not exactly thinking.  I am kinda in the middle of an ninnovation game on iso

[popsofctown]

Play Mana Draw sideways for movement (+1), use Double Move (+2), and Blue mana from the source for Stamina (+4).  Move to the space between the poisonous orc and the conquered Mage Tower.  Use my Heal card to heal a wound.  Flip the right moment.  End turn.

Qvist when you check the legality of that you can roll the die for me so i can take my time walk turn

[Qvist]

Seems fine. I'll send you your new hand in a second.

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[popsofctown]

What would happen if I assaulted theorel's keep?  I fight two enemies at once?  What color would the second one be?

[Qvist]

Other Player's Keeps: Can be assaulted and you get Reputation -1. If the owner is not present, draw a random grey enemy token as the defender. They are fortified. If successful, you get half Fame (rounded up) for defeating the defenders and you replace the owner's shield token with one of your own.

So you would had to fight a grey enemy and the Cursed Hag.

[popsofctown]

I use my Double Move skill to move to the Mage Tower. 

I interact with the mages, getting Influence+1 because I'm a badass that kills wolf riders and steals recruits from Jorbles.
Then I play unpowered Threaten for Influence+2.
Then I play all the other cards in my hand sideways for Influence+1 each.
That gets me to 7 influence, so I give them a red mana from the source and buy the red spell (I can't buy a blue spell with red mana iirc).

[popsofctown]

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

What's in the Keep?

[Qvist]

Crossbowmen 4 Attack (Swift) / 4 Armour / 3 Fame

[Qvist]

Sorry, I didn't see to the Ruins. I'll fix that the next time.

[Jorbles]

Sorry, I didn't see to the Ruins. I'll fix that the next time.

No worries, I was moving there in case something I couldn't beat this turn or next popped up on the Keep, which I am assaulting. (unless there's some advantage to having walked past them that I'm unaware of)

Use Improvisation to discard Promise for Move 3.

Use gold mana (not the red die) to power Rage for attack 4. Eating the wounds, and killing the Crossbowmen.

(I didn't want to use the red die, because I think Red has been around so long that it's probably a less useful color for dice to be. I only just realized this now or I could have used Tranquility to draw two and burn the green die which I think is useful, but oh well, next time.)

-1 reputation, +3 fame, Level up!

[Watno]

play wound sideways for move 2 to explore

[Qvist]

Goldyx levels up.

You can choose between:
Red Crystal Craft Once a Round: Flip this to gain one blue crystal to your Inventory, and one red mana token.
Universal Power Once a turn: You may add one mana to a card played sideways. If you do, the card gives +3 instead of +1. If it is an Action or Spell card of the same color as that mana, it gives +4.

[Qvist]

I hope I made no mistakes.

[theorel]

I discard Determination
Gain a White Crystal.
End of Turn.

[popsofctown]

The status says we are all level 1.

[popsofctown]

What happens if i kill only one enemy at the adventure site?

[Watno]

Depends on the adventure site I think.

[popsofctown]

The one next to my hex

[popsofctown]

The rules seem to indicate that I can wait a while and finish off the other enemy later.  Therefore,


Use Double Move to move to the nearby ruins
Discard the spell in my hand (mandatory)
End my turn

[Watno]

Yeah, the undefeated enemies stay there.

[popsofctown]

So, I was flipping through the rules and reading about the knockout rule.  The rule says if you take a number of wounds equal or greater to your handsize limit, you discard your hand.  Then it says "This minotaur here is a good example, look what it does to your starting stats".

But the Minotaur is brutal with attack of 4.  Since it does 8 damage unblocked, and you have 2 armor to start with, you should take 4 wounds, and not get knocked out right? 
I'm rather confused, the first time I read the rules I wasn't paying that much attention and I was like, "oh ok, they're using a basic example of a monster that can knock you out on its own, that's smart", but now when I reread I'm like hey, that's not making sense to me.

[theorel]

The status says we are all level 1.

We all started at level 0...so we are all at level 1.

Minotaur has attack 5...at least the image in the back of the walkthrough does.  Brutal attack 4 is the orc ironclad (which is pictured on the previous page of the walkthrough when describing the "Physical Resistance" modifier.

[popsofctown]

I get it.  Is it Jorbles turn now?

[theorel]

Yes, we're back to Jorbles.

[Jorbles]

Oh cool, back to me. One second.

[Jorbles]

Use White Crystal and play Pure Magic for 4 Influence.
Play March sideways for Influence, use Universal Power and the Green mana die to make it 4 Influence.
Spend 7 Influence to convince the locals to give me their Guardian Golems.
Use my final 1 point of influence to convince the owner of the keep to loan me some money to buy a beer.

[Jorbles]

Does that check out? If it does here's my roll for the new mana die:

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

[Jorbles]

5 = Blue.

[Watno]

I declare end of round.
1 more turn for everyone.

[popsofctown]

I think it's theorel's turn, but in advance, I will do nothing else until end of round

[popsofctown]

Hypothetically, if I wanted to move with no cards in hand, would I be permitted to?  I know if end of round had not yet been called, I would be obligated to call it, but I'm not sure what happens when it's already been called.

[theorel]

If you have no cards in deck and no hand you are required to do nothing.

I Threaten the crystal mine for a useless influence 2.  Gaining a white crystal.

[popsofctown]

Jorbles turn, I do nothing and nothing happens either.

If I was on a crystal mine with no cards in hand would I draw a crystal?

[popsofctown]

Qvist, with your knowledge of Jorbles hand it may or may not be possible to determine that he cant' do anything with his last card, and go ahead to setting up Night.

[theorel]

I wanted to check to be sure...relevant rules are Page 5: A Player's Turn 2d, and 3.  quoted below, short answer is you get nothing.

d. If you have no cards in your hand and Deed deck, but the
End of the Round has already been announced by another
player, you must forfeit your turn.
3. If you forfeit your turn, your turn ends immediately; you cannot
even use the benefits of a map space you occupy (mines or
magical glade).

[Jorbles]

Actually I can do one thing which is use my last non-Wound card to Rest discarding my Wound cards.

[popsofctown]

You don't have any Wound cards in hand though.  You are resting in order to discard 0 Wound cards?

[Jorbles]

I should have 2 wound cards from when I took the Keep. I think Qvist forgot to put them in my hand.

[popsofctown]

I see.  Discarding the wounds doesn't actually do anything though, right?  Either way, they get shuffled in for the next round.

[Watno]

He didn't say it would make a difference.
I'll pass my turn.

[theorel]

@watno: I don't think you get a turn.

If your Deed deck is empty at the start of your turn, and if the
End of the Round has not been announced yet, you may forfeit
your turn and announce the End of the Round. If you do, each
other player takes one more turn, and then the Round is over.

Emphasis mine.

I'd like to be sure of that before we come up on the end of next round, though.

I wanted to check, so it looks like order for Night Tactics choice should be:
pops
me
jorbles
watno

And as I was reading that I noticed:
We did order of choice for day tactics backward, watno should have had first choice, I should have chosen last.

Note: This means that in the first Round, the player who
picked his Hero last chooses his Tactic card first.

[popsofctown]

I don't like any of the night tactics :/

[popsofctown]

I have the least fame

[Jorbles]

I see.  Discarding the wounds doesn't actually do anything though, right?  Either way, they get shuffled in for the next round.

Oh I guess not, I thought I would be stuck with them at the beginning of next turn. Oh well.

I don't like any of the night tactics :/

Then just go first?

[popsofctown]

I don't see the benefit to going first if you're not racing to see who gets to something first

[theorel]

I have the least fame

I'm tied with you for fame.

I dunno, I like the tactics available.
Tactic 2: There's a disadvantage to declaring the end of the round (because you forfeit your turn while everyone else still gets a turn).  If you push your deck at around the same speed as everyone else (which we did last round), this lets you have a useful final turn.  (Note how last round by the time watno forfeited his turn the rest of us were doing almost nothing with the extra time).
Tactic 3: Lets you try to get the mana you want...this seems like a relatively weak tactic, but especially at night the black and gold are going to be essentially worthless (except for your spells...if you have another source for the mana to power it).  I think this will be a valuable tactic to keeping mana alive through the round, and it gives you some more control over it.  (i.e. if everything drains by the end of your turn, no big deal, you can probably get something at the start of your turn to help you)
Tactic 4: Shuffling up to 5 cards into your deck, means you can try to get a hand that has all cards you want.  Trying to combine your influence cards into one hand, or your attack/block cards into one hand or even just trying to pull some move cards.  This is strictly superior to "rethink" from day tactics.
Tactic 5: Keeping in mind that you know your starting hand before you choose this tactic.  This lets you get precisely the card you want to make that hand better.  Just short on block to fight something?  search for your Determination.  Just short on attack? pull a Rage.  Pick up some wounds in your starting hand?  pull Tranquility to clean up your deck.  Lots of potential here.
Tactic 6: This tactic is probably pretty weak right now, but will get better as our decks get bigger.  Basically if you store just 2 cards here, you can get the benefit of plundering a village without the reputation loss.  I'm still not entirely sure how quickly we'll go through our decks, but I think this could make your last turn of the round something more significant.  It's sort of a reverse "Great Start" if used that way.

[popsofctown]

You sold me pretty hard on tactic 4.  Why are you helping your opponents?

And when I said I had the least fame, I meant tied.  I've been playing lots of innovation, where your highest top card is any card tied for your highest, etc.

Where is Qvist

[theorel]

Well, conceptually I like the idea that helping one another to improve helps us all to improve faster.  i.e. discussing strategy and helping your opponent be better means that you have to be better too.

But realistically, I just like discussing strategy; it's part of playing games for me.

[popsofctown]

Hands go out in a second. Then choose the Night Tactics.

As pointed out I made a mistake in the order of choosing on the first day. Sorry.
The order now is: pops, theorel, Jorbles, Watno.

[popsofctown]

midnight meditation

[Qvist]

theorel is next.

[theorel]

I take Preparation

[Jorbles]

I was accidentally dealt a 6 card hand. I'm waiting for Qvist to redraw for me before I decide.

[popsofctown]

You are next to a keep that you own, are you not?

[Jorbles]

You get an extra card for that?!

[popsofctown]

If you are in a keep that you own, or in a hex adjacent to a keep that you own, your maximum hand size is increased by 1 for each keep that you own (even if some of those other keeps are far away).  This effect only works if you start the turn in a space in your keep or adjacent to your keep.

[popsofctown]

Staying next to your keep is like finding a potion for your alchemist.

[Jorbles]

Then I'll take Sparing Power.

[theorel]

Yeah, keeps are pretty cool.

Basically anything you attack gives a bonus of some sort, as follows (this is all in the first post, but this is a summary of just the rewards)
(-3 reputation)
Burning a Monastery: Artifact

(-1 reputation)
Mage Tower: free spell
Keep: extra cards
City: extra cards, and bonus influence within the city according to the # of defenders you personally defeated.

(0 reputation)
Ruins: bonus varies according to ruin tile, can be spell, artifact, advanced action, free unit, etc
Dungeon: Spell (33%) OR Artifact (66%)
Monster Den: 2 random mana crystals (or fame if black)
Spawning Grounds: Artifact + 3 random mana crystals
Tomb: Spell AND Artifact

Marauding Orcs: +1 Reputation (that's it)
Draconum: +2 Reputation (that's it)

Those are all the situations in which you can fight enemies.

[Jorbles]

And I thought I was just taking the Keep so I could become more famous and steal their Golems.

[Jorbles]

I did read the rules, but apparently I forgot a lot of what I read after I read them.

[theorel]

Well, there were a lot of rules...

[Qvist]

theorel takes Diabolic Tutor Preparation and Jorbles takes Native Village Sparing Power. Watno's next.

[popsofctown]

TECHNICALLY doesn't theorel select the card he wants to search for before he finds out what the next tactic choice is?

[Qvist]

TECHNICALLY doesn't theorel select the card he wants to search for before he finds out what the next tactic choice is?

He did.

[Watno]

Ill take Long Night.

That makes me go first:
Play Stamina for Move 2 to go to Monastery.
Play Threaten with red crystal from Inventory and Wound for Influence 7 to gain Mana Storm.
Play Crystallize, paying a blue mana from source to get a blue crystal.

Reroll blue die:

Just a reminder to everyone (no one has done anything for it to come into play, but it feels easy to forget especially without the components, and Jorbles is right next to a forest)
Deserts are 3 move and forests are 5, because it's night.

cards remaining in hand?

[popsofctown]

Jorbles, I'm pretty sure that's a dungeon, not a Monster den.  It's almost the same thing, except you can't use Units to help you fight the Brown enemy token and you get a bigger prize (a spell or artifact at random)

[Jorbles]

Ruins, Keep, Monster Den

[popsofctown]

Which he typed next in the same post as an image contradicting that description.  I checked twice.

Oh hmmm, I'll wait for Qvist to rule on it then. I don't think I can fight a monster without my unit.

[popsofctown]

I believe in you though.

[Qvist]

Which he typed next in the same post as an image contradicting that description.  I checked twice.

It's a Monster Den. The brown enemy token depicts a Dungeon though. I guess that's where the confusion is coming from.
Update comes in a second. Then I submit the new hands. You guys are too fast for me.

Yeah, I did

[Jorbles]

[Watno]

No, they're all black or gold. Lol.
5 gold and 1 black. Have fun with that.

[popsofctown]

Did you level up from the 7 fame, watno?

[Qvist]

Did you level up from the 7 fame, watno?

Yes he did. He has now 3 Armour and can have 2 Units. I just noticed btw that Levels begin at 1, not 0. I'm an IT guy, you see it here. So he's now Level 3, all others Level 2.

[Watno]

1 short of double level up

[popsofctown]

Watno can't use his spell right? because he has no crystals and there's no colored mana in the source. (the spell that is somewhere in his deck, I'm worried about him using the night mana and casting it to pull even further ahead)

[Watno]

I can with the Concentration card, or if you reroll something.

[popsofctown]

I think spells are not considered "actions", so that they are excluded from Concentration.  Because otherwise that'd be kinda busted. 

Nothing can get rerolled, i don't think we have any abilities in play that reroll gold dice.

[Qvist]

And I btw, I can't remember that I played a game with such strange rolls.

[popsofctown]

There's no oxygen.  We must rely only on anaerobic respiration.

[Watno]

well, concentration can give me a red mana, which i can then use to cast the spell. I could also discover a mine.

[popsofctown]

Oh, crap.

pops uses Midnight Meditation for 2 cards

Just to be clear: I guess you mean you want to fight the enemies in the Ruins.

[popsofctown]

yeah.

[popsofctown]

It might prove foolish

[Qvist]

You are forcing your luck.

[popsofctown]

I'm confused, why would you say I'm forcing my luck when I pulled such an easy monster?

[popsofctown]

I use my green crystal to use Concentration, performing a concentrated Swiftness.
That deals 5 ranged damage to the Minotaur, killing him effortlessly.

I use my Archers for block 3 and play Stamina sideways for block 1 to block the orc.  Then I play Rage+ promise sideways for attack 3 to kill the orc.

That should leave me with nothing in my hand, yeah?

[popsofctown]

skill offer, now that I selected an artifact?

[theorel]

level 3 gives you another unit to command, and works on your armor/hand limit instead of giving you a skill.

You get skills/advanced actions every even level, and improve armor/hand limit and gain a command token on the odd levels.

[popsofctown]

oh, right.

[theorel]

I'm a card short...need to see what I draw before I decide what to do.

[popsofctown]

Did Qvist miss your keep bonus?

[theorel]

yes

[popsofctown]

What type of terrain is the hex southeast of Watno?

[theorel]

I'm guessing more wasteland.
EDIT: oh, or maybe swamp...

[theorel]

Actually, I think that's swamp, and the previous terrain should have been swamp also.

Based on this image:


EDIT: I got confused about where watno was...no wait, pops is confused.  (I get confused because I have trouble with the whole east-west thing)
The terrain southWEST of watno is swamp I think...although qvist originally said it was wasteland.  The terrain southEAST of the monastery is also swamp I thnk.

[Qvist]

Oh, right. It was Swamp from the beginning. It's a while since I played this the last time. I somehow thought Swamps only occur at Core tiles.
We haven't seen Wasteland on this map yet. Sorry for that error. But I don't think it mattered that much.

[theorel]

It's okay...if watno wins it's because he walked over the swamp for one less move I'm sure

I'm going to play March and Rage sideways for Move 3 and move onto the Mage Tower.
Let's see what I get to fight.

[popsofctown]

It's okay...if watno wins it's because he walked over the swamp for one less move I'm sure

This would bother me, actually.  But I looked back and Watno wasted a movepoint the turn he walked over the swamp.  So there was no effect anyway.

[Qvist]

[theorel]

Pass Ranged/Siege attack
Play Determination for Block 2
Use Foresters for Block 3 (total 5)
Block the Monks
Use Green Crystal to empower Concentration to play Rage for Attack 6 killing the monks.
Gain 4 fame

Hang on to one card for later...

[theorel]

Oh, I'll take Mana Bolt for my reward.

[Qvist]

Oh, I'll take Mana Bolt for my reward.

Yes, and -1 reputation.

It may just be non-obvious on the current map, but since I can see my shield token on the mage tower, I figured I'd ask...do Arythea and Tovak have shield tokens on the ruins they're at?

Bah, this lack of mana sucks.

Set aside a card.

Discard Stamina, Threaten, Crystallize.

[Qvist]

Bah, this lack of mana sucks.

Just to be sure. You could use black mana to use Universal Power. But only for the +3 bonus of course.

It may just be non-obvious on the current map, but since I can see my shield token on the mage tower, I figured I'd ask...do Arythea and Tovak have shield tokens on the ruins they're at?

I forgot about those because the Shields are only for counting the points at the end of the game.

Cool, that's good to know, but I'll still discard those cards. That may be useful next turn though.

Play Swiftness and use Peasants for Move 4 to move to Monastery.
Play Concentration to gain a red mana. (unless this can be done after seeing my opponent)

Ok, after all the fiery blitzing Watno has done, I'm convinced the antichrist has come

[theorel]

We need special PvP where we can build reputation by attacking watno   (I'm sure the townsfolk would appreciate it if we put down that menace )

[Watno]

Are you sure you wanna attack the guy with the fireball who kills innocent monks?

[popsofctown]

I wish Watno had a keep so I could attack it.  Best I can do is try to draft stuff I think he wants.

[theorel]

I think my mana thunderbolt could take you out   (or rather, we'd both die painful deaths and pops/Jorbles would win...)

[popsofctown]

Jorbles is definitely a sleeper cantidate for victory.

[Watno]

Yeah, take away the units I'd take. O wait.

[popsofctown]

Nobody wants to be your unit now, Watno.  Nobody likes you.

Especially not the Savage Monks.

[Watno]

Actually, the villagers should be thankful. I wouldn't wanna live next to savage monks.

[popsofctown]

They're not really that Savage unless you use green mana to drive them crazy.  And green mana is not a very common thing in this land.  Because, you know.  You destroyed all the mana.

[Qvist]

unless this can be done after seeing my opponent

I'm pretty sure you can do this later.

[Watno]

Play Concentration for Red Mana
Unleash Fire Storm with red mana just taken and black die from source, killing the Fire Mages (Since this is a red card, and they do have Fire Resistance, do I not get a wound?)
Discard Promise (that one won't get me far anyway)
End of Turn, rerolling black die

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[Watno]

Hey, that's not black or gold. This RNG is broken.

[Qvist]

Burning Power Once a turn: Siege Attack 1, or Fire Siege Attack 1.
Healing Ritual Once a Round, except in combat: Flip this to throw away up to two Wounds from your hand. One of them goes to the hand of the closest hero (if tied, you choose) instead of to the Wound pile.

You level up. Choose a skill and an Advanced Action

[Qvist]

do I not get a wound?

I don't understand. Why shouldn't you get one?

[Watno]

Because Fire Resistance ignores non-attack effects from red cards (ok, it makes sense that ot ignores effects that affect the monster only, but was worth a try ).
I also get an artifact.

[popsofctown]

Play Tranquility to draw a card and see what I want to do from there

You need to roll like this during the day!

[theorel]

Well, I go back to my planned action.
Play 2 Staminas and sideways threaten to move to the dungeon north of me
Play crystallize to duplicate the blue crystal
enter dungeon
Kill the monster with a mana bolt powered with white & blue mana crystals

Note: if it's a Crypt Worm I take 2 wounds...otherwise I should be clear.

[theorel]

I was really hoping you'd roll green, and I'd be able to kill the crypt worm without taking wounds also.

[Qvist]

Roll for theorel's reward.

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

Note: I'm going to need to know the new advanced action before I can do my level up also...

I'd like to take a moment to point out that Watno is still winning, and Watno is also using the Long Night tactic.  It's crucial that someone call end of round as soon as possible.  I would if I could but I can't.

Tough choice.  I think I'll take Learning and Leadership.

[popsofctown]

He posted an image of the game board, with that enemy visible next to your hero

Wait, I could have sworn I was answering a post where theorel was asking about what enemy he killed.  Where'd it go?

[theorel]

I saw it after posting, and ninja-edited my post.

[Jorbles]

I put all cards from Sparing Power into my hand.

I enter the Monster Den. What do I fight?

[popsofctown]

You were not ninja enough though.  I still managed to explain in time.  It still counts.

Don't take away from me the imaginary respect that I give to myself in the forum games subforum because theory won't let me get real ephemeral respect in the forum games subforum.

[theorel]

Also, although watno has the highest fame at the moment, I think I'm technically winning at this point.
He has gained something around 4 wounds?  Which is -8 points at the end of the game.
The other end-game scores are pretty similar at this stage I think.
We're tied on greatest leader, pops and jorbles winning.
I'm not sure about knowledge...I think we're tied with a spell +2 advanced actions each.
We're tied on conqueror.
We're tied on adventurer.
We're tied on loot.

So, If the game ended immediately, I would win by around 8 points (since watno would get -3 for "greatest beating" in addition to the -2 per wound).

[theorel]

Note: I'm really bad at the whole "persuade everyone to gang up on the apparent leader"-type games.

[Jorbles]

What's up with that werewolf in the unexplored territory?

[theorel]

He posted an image of the game board, with that enemy visible next to your hero

That's what pops is referencing here...

[Jorbles]

Ohhh, gotcha.

[popsofctown]

Note: I'm really bad at the whole "persuade everyone to gang up on the apparent leader"-type games.

You are.

Like Dominion, the player who currently has the most victory points is not necessarily the player who has the best chance of winning at that point.
Watno's power of pain skill means that all of Watno's wounds give him +2 in whatever category he wants.  That means as long as he doesn't draw them together, they are about as good as Improvisation.  The negative VP associated with those wounds is worth it because they allow him to build his character and acquire other forms of VP.  Furthermore, he can just wait until the very last round of the game and trash some or all of them.

Watno has an artifact, theorel does not.  Artifacts are pretty powerful, you saw mine, it costs 0 mana to get Siege Attack 6 with only a 1/3 risk of getting wounded. 
Watno has the highest fame, which means he's closest to the next level up, which means he's closer to upgrading his "engine" further.

[Watno]

I have -3 rep as well

[theorel]

I agree that the player with the most points is not necessarily the player who has the best chance of winning.  Power of pain seems really good, but those wounds may still come back to hurt him.

Also, I do have an artifact (from my dungeon raid, just now)

Oh, he does have one more advanced action than me right now (I forgot about the one he purchased from the monastery).

[popsofctown]

I didn't know you had an artifact.  That changes things.

Jorbles, we need to form a coalition.

[Jorbles]

I didn't know you had an artifact.  That changes things.

Jorbles, we need to form a coalition.

I don't really see how it would work without PvP, but I am down in spirit.

[popsofctown]

I think we are allowed to conquer cities jointly even without pvp.  You're kinda geographically far though.

[Jorbles]

Oh that's a good point. Okay yes, if we get to jointly conquer a city I am interested.

[popsofctown]

i'm trying to read the city assault rules but the rulebook doesn't load all the pages for some reason

[popsofctown]

Qvist, I think you gave me Fame+2 but not Reputation+2 for my last turn.

[popsofctown]

If Jorbles and I conquer a city, can we exclude theorel and Watno, boys' club treehouse style?

[theorel]

I'm not sure how you mean...
when conquering a city, you don't need to include us, even if we are adjacent.
Once conquered, we may go interact there, just like how you can interact at conquered mage towers.
You get a benefit when interacting at a city according to how many shields you have (+1 influence per shield I think?)  You get 1 shield per defender you defeat.

You also get bonus VP at the end for each conquered city (+7 for each city you are leader of (i.e. you have majority shields there, ties broken by whoever defeated first defender) +4 for any other city where you have a shield, and player with most VP from this gets a +5 bonus as well).

[theorel]

Are there any special rules in the open map about core tile placement?
There's a rule in the "wedge" set-up that core tiles can't be coastal...but I don't see anything in the open map.
Also, should we know anything about when core tiles are coming up?  or are they just like the countryside tiles on the back?

[popsofctown]

Ok.
Well if we conquer one of the cities that cost lots of influence to get special effects, we can maybe be the only ones to use it effectively since theorel and Watno won't have any shields.

[Qvist]

[Qvist]

Qvist, I think you gave me Fame+2 but not Reputation+2 for my last turn.

That's right. Feel free to correct me. It's hard to keep track of everything.

[popsofctown]

Are villages the only thing that you can pillage?

Corollary question: does that have to do with rhyme?

[Qvist]

Also, should we know anything about when core tiles are coming up?  or are they just like the countryside tiles on the back?

Actually I didn't even remember the coast placement rule.
There are 11 Countryside tiles and 7 Core tiles. When the 11 Countryside tiles are gone, the Core tiles will be placed.
The 4 Countryside tiles currently forming the border are the 4 remaining ones.

Are villages the only thing that you can pillage?

Burning down a Monastery is the only thing that's similar to that.

[popsofctown]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city? 

[Jorbles]

Oh good, the one thing that's really hard to block.

Let my Golems eat 3 damage for. Take 2 wounds for the remaining 4 damage.

Play Rage, Rage, and Determination for 2 attack each (total: 6) killing the Werewolf.

Gain some amount of fame (I can't read the tile). Gain a level. Gain 2 rewards as determined by these dice rolls:

Rolled 2d6 : 3, 4, total 7

[Jorbles]

3 = Red Crystal
4 = Green Crystal

[Jorbles]

Oh and umm I forgot to finish this sentence, but my Golems are now wounded.

[theorel]

You get 5 fame.

[Qvist]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city?

Yes, there's a zero chance that the next 4 explorations will find a city. Then the chance is 4/7

[popsofctown]

Jorbles we're going to have to call the joint city thing off for now then.  I think I want to head south.  It might be wise of me to attack theorel's keep, but I'm not sure I want to.

[theorel]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city?

(now that I've gotten an answer it's easier to find the rules)
Yes, we need to explore 4 more "countryside" tiles before we can get a chance of a city.
After that each exploration will be a core tile. There are 7 "Core" tiles, 4 with cities 3 without.

After that, I think we can't explore any more.

Also, in case anyone didn't notice: the game goes 3 days and 3 nights (or until all cities have been conquered).  So we are almost 1/3 of the way through the game time (of course, each round is longer than the previous as we get more cards, so we're really less than 1/3 of the way through)

All good stuff to know.

[Jorbles]

Jorbles we're going to have to call the joint city thing off for now then.  I think I want to head south.  It might be wise of me to attack theorel's keep, but I'm not sure I want to.

Do it!

[popsofctown]

The loss of reputation is annoying.  But, I guess I probably ought to do it

[theorel]

I don't disagree...that's a nice artifact.

I'm debating between two moves...can I use Learning/build the influence for it etc...and then move?

[theorel]

EDIT: (looks like this is legal...based on the answers here)  Changed order of cards to make it all 100% good.

Play Amulet of the Sun gaining a gold mana token.
Use gold token to empower Mana Draw, switching die to white, and gaining 2 white tokens.
Empower Learning for 4 influence, also playing:
Use white token to empower Noble Manners for 4 Influnce +1 Fame, +1 Reputation
Improvisation sideways for 1 influence
Pay 9 influence to gain path finding into hand.
Use a gold mana from the source to empower path finding for Move 4.  Explore the only tile that I can.


I'll decide where I'm going to move after I see the new tile.

[Qvist]

Amulet of Sun Gain a gold mana token. If played during the Night, forests have their move cost reduced to 3, you can use gold mana, and you reveal garrisons of nearby fortified sites and all ruins as if it were day. /// Same as the basic effect, except you get three gold mana tokens instead of one.

And I don't think you get +1 Fame and +1 Reputation for that because I don't think that counts as interaction.

I'm pretty tired right now, so I only update the picture and add the 2 new Advanced Actions (for the Monastery and to replace the one you just took) later if this is okay.

[Watno]

That adds an advanced action to the unit offer, doesn't it?

[Qvist]

That adds an advanced action to the unit offer, doesn't it?

Right, that's why I said 2 new AAs. Checking out now, sorry.

[Watno]

Oh sorry, didn't read properly.

[popsofctown]

My interpretation is that it is an interaction, and he does get fame and rep.
I think the point of the clause is to keep him from using it in the middle of the boonies just for the fame.

[theorel]

@pops: I think QVist's right...interaction is the action taken at a location.  For instance, you don't get reputation bonuses for Learning, UNLESS you're at a village/keep/etc, and use your action for it.  I just didn't notice the clause.  Unfortunate, as I might have tried to work this differently if I had noticed...but I don't think it would have been worth it.

I'll move to the magical glade to the northeast.

Return 1 white mana and 1 mana to the source.

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[theorel]

Hope you want white mana jorbles

[Watno]

Without actually rereading, I agree with Qvist and theorel.

[popsofctown]

Oh, you ARE in the middle of the boonies.  Well we are actually in agreement on interpretation, the reason I was confused was that I thought you moved to a village before playing your cards for influence

[theorel]

Yeah, the monsters in the dungeon didn't care to spread word of my "nobility".

[Watno]

I'm a bit confused about the map. Doesn't the location of the core tiles depend on the orde4r we discover them in?

[popsofctown]

Yeah.  I think he has an uber-realistic vassal module, and thus he is out of countryside tiles to use to demonstrate where the unexplored regions are

[Watno]

Play Mana draw empowered by white mana from source to turn the black die to blue and gain 2 blue mana tokens.
Play Stamina empowered by one blue Mana token to move to the Mage tower and attack it. My repuation is not bad enough yet.

[Qvist]

Yeah.  I think he has an uber-realistic vassal module, and thus he is out of countryside tiles to use to demonstrate where the unexplored regions are

This. It's only to demonstrate the borders. The location of the Core tiles depend on your exploring. It should avoid confusion and not make more confusion. Sorry.

[Qvist]

6 Armour, Ice Resistance, 5 Ice Attack, 5 Fame and it's fortified (because of the Mage Tower)

Take 2 wounds
Play Determination, Wound, and Battle Versatility to kill them.
Take Flame Wall

Contingent on that last inquiry, I end my turn.

Yes, it wasn't announced yet.

[popsofctown]

Then I indeed end my turn

[Watno]

theorel is forced to call end of round, right? BTW, the map in the post above isnt the right one.

theorel is forced to call end of round, right? BTW, the map in the post above isnt the right one.

Ah, right. theorel announces End of Round. Jorbles' last turn.
What is wrong with the map, Watno?

[Watno]

Somehow I thought I was at the wrong place. Anyway, I see it's right now.

[Jorbles]

theorel is forced to call end of round, right? BTW, the map in the post above isnt the right one.

Ah, right. theorel announces End of Round. Jorbles' last turn.

Cards that I drew please!

[Jorbles]

Use Universal Power and blue mana die from source to play Pure Magic sideways for 4 Move. Play Swiftness for Move 2 and Mana Draw sideways for 1 Move. Move to Magical Glade.

Do not call out the orcs (yet), heal my Guardian Golems. End turn.

[Jorbles]

Here's the new die:

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[Jorbles]

Red.

[Watno]

If the healing is supposed to come from the Magical Glade, that doesn't work. It doesn't allow you to heal, but to thow away a wound from your hand or discard pile.

[Jorbles]

If the healing is supposed to come from the Magical Glade, that doesn't work. It doesn't allow you to heal, but to thow away a wound from your hand or discard pile.

Oh boo, then I guess I'll just heal myself from my hand. This is a crappy magic glade if it can't heal units. I guess units are only healable via villages and your own powers?

[theorel]

Monasteries also.

[Watno]

With heal effects, not with all those effects labeled "This is not the same as healing"

[Watno]

Play Wound, March and Swiftness for 6 move to assault the keep.

[Qvist]

Arythea loses another rep and cannot interact anymore.
Enemy has Attack 4 with Swiftness, Armour 4, Fame 3 and is fortified

[Qvist]

Full update comes after work.

[Watno]

Play Blood Ritual for 2 red tokens, putting wound on peasants if possible (taking it myself otherwise)
Play Flame Wave with red token and black die from source for Fire Block 9.
Play empowered Rage for Attack 4, killing that guy.
End turn
Reroll black die

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

Use Long Night tactics to put 3 cards from discard in deck (because I can )

[popsofctown]

Could you flip Long Night midway through the process of drawing to 5?  Kinda like reordering stash midway to drawing to five in dominion.

[Watno]

It's "before your turn", so I can't actually do it

[popsofctown]

oh ok

[theorel]

Um...the tactic is not "before your turn."
Double-checking on BGG, see here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/10619567#10619567

[theorel]

It's still just as useless since it's the end of the round, but you get to draw up to your full hand size.

[popsofctown]

It's still just as useless since it's the end of the round, but you get to draw up to your full hand size.

So regarding my question?  Could you draw 2 cards, flip it to restore three to your deck, then finish drawing to max handsize? or would it be forbidden mid-event

[theorel]

As soon as your deck is out you can shuffle in the cards.
So, if there are only 2 cards left and your hand is empty, you can draw 2, reshuffle in 3 random cards from your discard and draw them.

[Watno]

I actually got confuseed there.

pops, your turn.

The Right Moment

[theorel]

Rethink

[Watno]

Early Bird

Play Stamina to explore (to the bottom, but i think i can't explore the other one anyway, right?

[Qvist]

Early Bird

Play Stamina to explore (to the bottom, but i think i can't explore the other one anyway, right?

You could. Like I said, it's only a placeholder. Either way, whatever tile you explore it's a green one.

[Watno]

Yeah, but wasn't there some rule it's required to be adjacent to at least 2 already explored tiles? Anyway, i want the one to the bottom.

[Qvist]

Countryside tiles (green tile back) can only be placed
such that they will be adjacent to at least two other tiles,
or adjacent to a tile that borders at least two other tiles.

Core tiles (brown tile back) can only be placed such that
they will be adjacent to at least two other tiles.

Monster Den, Crystal Mine, Rampaging Enemy with Attack 3 and Swiftness, Armour 4 and 3 Fame.

[Watno]

Play Stamina and Promise (sideways) to go to monster den. Enter it.

[Qvist]

Attack 5, Brutal, Armour 5, 4 Fame

[Watno]

Play Ruby Ring.
Play Swiftness empowered by Gold mana from source and Battle Versatility empowered by red token from ruby ring for ranged attack 6, killing that thing.
End turn.

Rerolling gold die:

[Watno]

My rolls are great. Even here I roll black. Level up.

[Qvist]

Choose a skill. Take either:

Hot Swordsmanship Once a turn: Attack 2, or Fire Attack 2.
Dark Negotiation Once a turn: Influence 2 (during the Day), or Influence 3 (at Night).

or any Skill in the Common Offer. Also take an Advanced Action.

[Watno]

I cant take my own skill from the offer, right? And if I take one from there, I get the lowest advanced action?

[Watno]

If that's right, I get decompose and hot swordsmanship.dark negotiation looks like a skill only useful to weaklings.

[Qvist]

No, you can't take your own old skills, right.
And then you have to take Training as Advanced Action if you do take one from the offer, correct.

[popsofctown]

Oh, now everyone with reputation high enough to interact is a "weakling"??

Wrong picture, one second.

Just wait what will happen when I meet someone who claims I'm not able to interact with him. (I will interact with him, but I doubt he'll ever interact again.)

[popsofctown]

You're a monster.

[theorel]

Empower Crystallize with the gold token for a green crystal
Empower Crystal Mastery with a blue source mana, I get back all spent crystals this turn.
Empower Concentration with green crystal and Stamina for Move 6
Move to the Monastery and provoke the diggers, fighting diggers and wolf riders.
Use the Foresters w/Leadership to block the Wolf Riders (because I can).  Take the hit from the diggers on the foresters
Play Mana Bolt using blue and red crystal for Cold Fire Attack 7, killing both the Orcs.


That should leave me with one of each crystal. +5 fame, and +2 Reputation

[Qvist]

You're a monster.

He's a woman.

Why do you have a gold token?

I started the turn on a magical glade

Sorry about the delay. Taking my turn now.

Power Tranquility with a Green Mana die for Heal 2, healing my Guardian Golems.
Challenge the Orcs.

Use Universal Power and my Gold mana from the Glade to play Stamina sideways for +4 attack. Play Determination for an additional +2 attack.

Not quite levelling up, .

[Jorbles]

If that checks out here is the new die. Come onnnn not a 6.

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[theorel]

Use Guardian Golems Ice Block/Fire Block 4 to block all damage.

This requires you to spend a mana.  The Fire Block requires red mana, the ice block requires blue mana.

[popsofctown]

What's this talk about a Glade giving mana? I thought glades heal you.  Are there two kinds?

[Watno]

It does both:

Magical Glade
Healing Essence: If you end your turn on a magical glade, you can throw away one Wound card from your hand or discard pile. This is not the same as Healing and the effect cannot be combined with other Healing effects.
Imbued With Magic: If you start your turn on a magical glade during the Day, you gain a gold mana token. If you start your turn on a magical glade during the Night, you gain a black mana token.

[Jorbles]

Use Guardian Golems Ice Block/Fire Block 4 to block all damage.

This requires you to spend a mana.  The Fire Block requires red mana, the ice block requires blue mana.

In that case I'll use my Red Crystal to do that.

[popsofctown]

Use double move to explore southwards

[popsofctown]

No matter what flips off that, I'll also Use Tranquility to draw 1 card

Guardsmen not Swordsmen right?

[theorel]

Also, and this is way more important:
Herbalists give Mana Tokens not Mana Crystals

You could use them with the Illusionists to gain white crystals.

[popsofctown]

Guardsmen, not swordsmen.

Swap out the Green "crystals" for White crystals like theorel suggested.  Normally I'd chastise him for helping his opponents, but I had already noticed the trick on my own, I just had a slight preference for Green.

Definitely need for Qvist to look over that before I roll the mana dice.  But if that all checks out, I'll get fame +5 and rep +5 at end of turn.

Guardsmen, not swordsmen.

Swap out the Green "crystals" for White crystals like theorel suggested.  Normally I'd chastise him for helping his opponents, but I had already noticed the trick on my own, I just had a slight preference for Green.

If pops uses his Illusionists to gain White Crystals how does he use them to gain 8 Influence? Am I missing something?

[popsofctown]

The Herbalists can ready the Illusionists, allowing me to reuse them.

Replace the "Exhaust Herbalists, gaining a green mana crystal" with "Exhaust Herbalists, ready Illusionists.  Exhaust Illusionists, gaining a White mana crystal"

[Jorbles]

So you play your cards in some order followed by:

Exhaust both Illusions for influence.
Recruit Herbalist (disband Illusionist).
Exhaust Herbalist ready Illusionist.
Exhaust Illusionist. (Gain White Crystal)
Recruit Herbalist (disband Herbalist).
Exhaust Herbalist ready Illusionist.
Exhaust Illusionist. (Gain White Crystal)
Recruit Peasant (disband Herbalist).
Exhaust Peasant (influence).
Recruit Utem Crossbowmen (disband Peasant).
Recruit Utem Guardsmen (disband Illusionists).

Okay I understand that now, though it's a bit dizzying. I didn't check the math, but if it worked before I believe you. I think Qvist hasn't updated your units yet as he still has you with a spent Illusionist.

[popsofctown]

[Qvist]

Qvist, send me cards for the pillage.  I want to pillage. 

Out of curiosity, are the dragons worth 1 reputation or 2?

Sorry, I didn't understand that at first. I'll send you the cards in a second.

[Jorbles]

Do we draw new cards at the beginning of our turn or at the end of our previous turn? (I'm asking if I could have used the Magic Glade after I drew my cards.)

[Qvist]

If you read the "End of turn" section of the rulebook, you see that drawing new cards is the very last thing you do on your turn, so after using the Magic Glade. So you couldn't have used it.

[Watno]

Is there any reason for Jorbls not to use the Glade if he draws certain cards? If there isn't, I'm perfectly ok with him using the Magical Glade, and would actually prefer if the game didn't come down to such trivial oversights.

I think he had no wounds in his hand at the time he "chose" not to use the Magical Glade, since he couldn't.  But then he drew a Wound at the end of his turn, from a previous round.

[Watno]

Ah, that makes sense.

[Jorbles]

Yeah, that's what I was asking about. Qvist cleared it up. Thinking about what I'll do now.

[popsofctown]

Ok, so I was reading through the rules, and I found what appears to me to be a contradiction:

1. The beginner's intro says "Cities never sleep.  If you are in the space adjacent to them, you can always flip the defending monsters and see what they are".
2. The city assault rules say, you must be adjacent to a city to launch an assault, especially a cooperative assault.
3. The cooperative assault rules say, "Each player chooses how many of the enemies he will fight, but not which ones.  Randomly distribute the chosen number of enemies according to how many each player agreed to take on. Do this without even looking at the reverse side

But the reverse side HAS to be revealed at that point ANYWAY.  What's up with that?  Are both rulebooks from the same edition?

[Watno]

For assigning them to players, you shuffle them again. The reverse side is the one you see first, which only shows the category. It is emphasized that you can't say: "I'll take the brown one, and you take the white". You just say: "I take one, you take one" and then it's randomly determined who fights what.

[popsofctown]

That seems unclear, it should say to flip them back over.  It's instructing you NOT to reverse what side is currently being revealed.

[theorel]

It seems like they're trying to say you shouldn't even know which brown your facing, or which white or whatever...but, then if you're randomizing in such a way that you might know which brown you're fighting you'd know whether it's brown or white which defeats the randomization part of it.  I think it's extraneous text, either due to a rules change or just a poorly worded addition trying to emphasize that you shouldn't know which part of the defenses you're facing.

[Qvist]

This is indeed strange wording. I looked up the German rules and there it says "without looking at the front side". I guess it's either an error or ambiguos wording.

[Jorbles]

Use Stamina and a Blue mana die for 4 move to move to the Village and explore the adjoining tile.

[Watno]

For assigning them to players, you shuffle them again. The reverse side is the one you see first, which only shows the category. It is emphasized that you can't say: "I'll take the brown one, and you take the white". You just say: "I take one, you take one" and then it's randomly determined who fights what.

No, I don't think it is. The front side is the one with all the monster stats. The reverse side is the one that just shows the type/colour.
When randomizing, you're not supposed to look at either side, not even the reverse one.

[Qvist]

You guys are great in finding cities.
2x Rampaging Enemy with Summoning Brown Enemy Attack, 4 Armour and 4 Fame
Village
Magical Glade
Green City with Grey, Brown and White Enemy

[Jorbles]

Challenge the Summoner. What does it summon?

[popsofctown]

Dos he get to see the summon before deciding whether to use ranged attack?

[theorel]

No, that happens at the start of the Block Phase.

So, Jorbles should probably confirm: you're skipping Ranged Attack?

[Jorbles]

If I could kill it with a ranged attack I already would have. 

[Qvist]

Gargoyle with 5 Attack

[Jorbles]

I think this works.

Use Improvisation and a Gold mana from the magic glade for 5 Block (discard Crystallization). Block the attack.

Use Green mana crystal and Universal Power to play Swiftness sideways for 3 attack. Play Promise sideways for 1 attack (total 4). Kill the summoner.

+4 fame, +1 rep. Level up!

I need to know what the next advanced aaction is gonna be to move.

[popsofctown]

Use Double Move, Stamina, and March to move to the desert ruins.

[Qvist]

I guess you want to enter the Ruins?

[popsofctown]

No, I want to see what's in the city.
Remember, ruins are optional.

[Qvist]

Yes, I know. But you didn't end your turn so I wasn't sure what you were waiting for.

[popsofctown]

You can assault a city over several turns, right?  picking the enemies off one by one?

Either way, I probably am going to have to wait and see what Jorbles takes for his AA

[Qvist]

Yes, you can. Every enemy remaining attack you at once, then you are allowed to tell which enemies you're attacking. For each enemy defeated you get a shield token. The player with the most shield tokens on it is its leader.

[Jorbles]

I'll take Ice Shield and Flight.

[popsofctown]

Use blue mana from the source for Stamina, move to the red crystal mine.
Use an unpowered training on Concentration, gaining the Crushing Bolt.
Flip my red crystal craft skill.  Use Crystallization to preserve the token it produces for later.
End my turn, keeping my Cold toughness in my hand.  Gain a red crystal and reroll the mana die.

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[Watno]

Unimpressive turn incoming:
Play Regeneration empowered by gold mana from source for Heal 2 , readying Peasants (that possible even though they're wounded, right?)
Play Tranquility for Heal 1.
Throw away 3 Wounds from hand.
End turn
reroll gold die:

Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4

[popsofctown]

Yeah.  I don't think you can use them until you heal them up though (neither assign them damage nor activate any of their abilities)

[popsofctown]

I recommend going to a village in order to heal your peasants.  See how that turns out for you.

[Watno]

They're so far away, but I'd like some extra cards.

[popsofctown]

I lol'ed after the several seconds to realize what you meant.

Thanks for the reminder. Please double check everything. But I already considered that in the spreadsheet.

Use a white mana die to play Mana Draw sideways using Universal Power for +4 Influence. Play Threaten for +2 influence.

Interact with the locals (I think I get a +1 bonus here, but it doesn't really matter.)

Spend 6 Influence for Heal 2. Heal 2 Wounds from hand.

physical Attack gain the Brutal ability."

[popsofctown]

Surely a I levelled up from all that fame? I can't read the fame in the image, but 3 kills seems like a lot..

[Qvist]

You gained 14 fame, so you're now level 5 as shown in the update and in the spreadsheet.

[popsofctown]

Ok.  Why did you deal me 7 cards when my max hand size is listed as 6?  Is it a city thing?

[Qvist]

Yeah, your hand limit is currently 8 because your city adds 2 to your hand limit.

Also, btw, don't forget your Tactics card.

[popsofctown]

Do I have to be in the city to enjoy the handsize bonus?
Also, can I challenge rampaging enemies from a city?

[Qvist]

Bonus: When you end your turn on or adjacent to a city, draw 2 extra cards if you are that city's leader, or 1 extra card if you have at least one Shield token on the city.

Yes, you can attack rampaging enemies from cities.

[Watno]

Play March, Wound, sideways Blood Ritual and Determination for Move 6 to move 2 spaces to the southwest.
Challenge the Orcs. Play Fire Ball empowered by red mana from source to kill Orcs.
Discard Rage

[Qvist]

End turn I guess!?

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[Watno]

Oh yeah, forgot that. Sorry.

[Qvist]

No problem. You discarded Rage, so it was obvious on second thought.

[Qvist]

I can't recruit units or heal in cities, can I?

You can only spend influence in a city for what the city can says. So you could recruit units in a white city for example, but not in your red one.
You can only heal in villages and monasteries.

You can only spend influence in a city for what the city can says. So you could recruit units in a white city for example, but not in your red one.
You can only heal in villages and monasteries.

Actually, this is partially true. You can recruit units at a city, but only some Elite Units. They will be added at the start of the next night. But in the white City you could recruit all units.

While just preparing the Elite Units which will come out soon, I just noticed that my reference sheet didn't took the Resistance of the Units into account. Sorry for that.
The Illusionists and the Guardian Golems have actually Physical Resistance.

Edit: In the spreadsheet this will be marked by +P, +F or +I for the Resistance respectively. So, the Guardian Golems have 3+P for example. I hope this is clear.

[theorel]

You guys suck...white and green??? seriously?  You managed to leave all 3 mana active and they're ALL still useless.
Okay, I've got no choice...I'm going to burn down that monastery.

Play Stamina for Move 2 to move onto Monastery, and burn it to the ground.
What do I get to fight?

After the first city has been found the unit offer consits of half elite and half normal units.

Play Amulet of the Sun for a gold mana token.
Spend gold token to empower Determination for Block 5.
Play Blood Rage, taking a wound for Attack 5.

[Jorbles]

Use Sapphire Ring for blue mana token, blue mana crystal, +1 fame. (Level up!)
Use blue mana token to power Pure Magic and the Gold mana die for +7 move. Use March for +2 move.

Use Will Focus for a red mana token. Play Rage sideways using Universal Power for +4 move. (13 move)

Move to Watno's keep. (costs 12 move)

Reroll for the gold die.

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[Watno]

I think you can only move to my keep if you assault it.

[Jorbles]

I think you can only move to my keep if you assault it.

Hmm looking at the rulebook I think you might be right. I'm going to redo my turn I think.

[Jorbles]

Okay instead I will:

Use Sapphire Ring for blue mana token, blue mana crystal, +1 fame. (Level up!)

Play March for 2 move. Play Rage sideways with Universal Power and blue mana token for +3 move.
Move to swamp. Check out enemies in the city.

Provoke orcs. Skip ranged attack phase. What do they summon?

[Qvist]

Gargoyle for 5 Attack

[Jorbles]

Let Guardian Golems absorb 3 damage using their resistance without taking a wound. Take 1 wound to hand.

Use gold mana die to power Pure Magic for 4 attack. Killing orc summoner.

+4 fame, +1 reputation.

Use Will Power to gain 1 green mana crystal.

If that checks out you can reroll the mana die or let my previous roll stand. I'll let Qvist decide what's fairest.

[popsofctown]

Are units always shuffled back in?  Or can we expect a Peasants, a Utem Guardsmen, and a Utem Swordsmen next round?

[popsofctown]

The answer to that question doesn't affect my move (nor does Jorbles' mana roll).


Use the goldiest green mana available to power March +4 Move
Use Double Move +2 Move
Use I don't give a damn on my artifact for +3 Move
Move to the northeast village, then explore from it.
As long as the exploration doesn't reveal a village or monastery, play Rage sideways for 1 Influence, get 5 influence from rep and heal 2 wounds at the village and end my turn.  Roll for me if that all works out

[Qvist]

Let Guardian Golems absorb 3 damage using their resistance without taking a wound. Take 1 wound to hand.

Wait. I don't think that works, unless I understood anything wrong. If you decide to take damage with a unit with physical Resistance it reduces first the damage by their armour value without taking a wound, but if there's still damage left you have to assign them to the unit again.

[Jorbles]

What if I take a wound first and then give the rest to my Unit?

[Jorbles]

I just read the rules and you're right. I have to choose if a unit takes damage first, and then they take all the damage they can. I'll just take 2 wounds.

[Qvist]

Are units always shuffled back in?  Or can we expect a Peasants, a Utem Guardsmen, and a Utem Swordsmen next round?

Units that were not bought are put to the bottom of the deck. Disbanded units are removed from the game though. I just noticed that I only accidently put 5 instead of 6 units in the offer the first time, d'oh. So, this means we've seen 17 of the 20 normal units so far. Next night 3 Elite and 3 Normal Units will appear. You could calculate that for yourself, but this guarantees that Peasants, Utem Guardsmen, Utem Swordsmen will be the 3 normal units.

[Qvist]

I just read the rules and you're right. I have to choose if a unit takes damage first, and then they take all the damage they can. I'll just take 2 wounds.

Alrighty. I re-roll, I think that's fairest.

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

[Jorbles]

I just got rid of that black die!

[popsofctown]

Tough choice.  But I suppose I will use Stamina to enter the desert and explore the ruins.

[Qvist]

Just wanted to make sure as you didn't make it bold: Final choice?

edit: And I guess you use Double Move to accomplish that?

[popsofctown]

Yeah, using double move to accomplish it.  Flip the monsters, I'm committing to it

[Qvist]

zoomed in a little because I guess you don't need all the map now

[popsofctown]

Use red mana from the source to play Burning Shield to block the Gargoyle.  Use a sideways Crystallization to complete the block.
Assign the 5 ice damage to my Utem Guardsmen, wounding it and totally absorbing the damage.
Play the Burning Shield again as Fire Attack 4 to kill the Gargoyle.
Use Improvisation to discard a Mana Draw for attack 3.
Use Utem Crossbowmen for Attack 3.  Kill the Ice mage.
Use Crushing Bolt to gain a Green crystal.

I level up.  So am I allowed to combine the level up choosing with the spell choosing? I'm pretty sure this is an Advanced Action/Skill level up

[popsofctown]

nevermind, it's a command token/stats level up.  thinking.

[popsofctown]

I'll take Wings of Wind/Wings of Night

[Qvist]

Seems good.

I think he means:

Crystal Mastery Gain a crystal to your Inventory of the same color as a crystal you already own. /// Any crystal you spend this turn are returned to your Inventory at the end of the turn.

and not

Crystallize When you play this, also pay one mana of a basic color. Gain a crystal of that color to your Inventory. /// Gain a crystal of any color to your Inventory.

Since you know the cards in his hand, that makes sense.

But you can't recruit Catapults. They can only be recruited at a Keep or at a City.

Edit: The problem is, you can't recruit any unit there, unfortunately.

[theorel]

crap, I forgot the +1 armor from the white city...which means that siege attack 5 is utterly worthless at this moment (would be great if I was next to some OTHER city)
could I exchange the catapults for freezers?

[Qvist]

Ugh, I'm not sure as Watno already did his turn. I mean he didn't do anything which gave you any advantage of knowledge. If no-one has anything against it...

[theorel]

Yeah, if anyone's opposed that's fine.  I also saw my hand for next turn (which is why I started planning the city take-over and realized that the catapults actually didn't kill the one unit they could hurt).  I took them for that specific reason unfortunately...

Freezers would be better, but I can live with the catapults if I need to.

[popsofctown]

I'm not sure I like that.  What if that changes Watno's decisions?  Maybe he wants to position himself in a way that gives him a chance of getting the 'pults now.  We have to ask him whether it does change in order to proceed to Jorbles' turn, and then it sets a preedent for a lot of potential game slowdown.

[theorel]

I think that's sufficient as an objection.
I'll start planning around having the catapults instead...

[Jorbles]

Use Mana Draw.

Use Universal Power to play Swiftness sideways powered by black mana die for 3 move.

[theorel]

Gah!  Dang it, there wasn't supposed to be a crypt worm.
Okay, let me see what I'm going to do...

[theorel]

Okay, I'll do this:
Play Mana Draw w/ white crystal to gain 2 blue mana tokens.  (This has to flip the gold?  If not, I use a blue)
Play Mana Bolt with blue crystal and green source mana for Siege Ice Attack 5.
Use Catapults with Blue token for Siege Ice Attack 5. (10 total).
Use my 10 siege attack to kill the 2 monsters.

I have a blue token left over.
I'm going to play crystallize with it.
Can I wait until I collect my rewards from the spawning grounds? (so that I know what crystal I might need)  Or do I have to play it first?

I should have 1 blue crystal and 2 whites before rewards.

[theorel]

If I have to do it first...I play crystallize to gain a red crystal.
Then I get:

Rolled 3d6 : 5, 3, 6, total 14

[theorel]

Blue, Red and +Fame.
Actually, I think I'm happy with that regardless.

then I return the blue mana die to the source (from mana draw), and also return

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[theorel]

Can't figure out what I read that had to use depleted mana first...but as far as I can tell, it wasn't mana draw.
So, unless someone knows differently I used a blue die, and left it blue.
Source should now be:
Blue, Green, Black, Blue, Gold, Black.

[Qvist]

You level up.

Choose a skill:

Forward March Once a turn: Get Move 1 for each Ready and Unwounded Unit you control, to maximum of Move 3
or
Bonds of Loyalty When you gain this Skill, add two Regular Units to the Units offer. Put this Skill in you Unit area as a Command token. It costs 5 less Influence (minimum 0) to recruit a Unit under this Command token. This Unit can be used even when the use of Units would normally not be allowed. You cannot disband this Unit.

Blue, Green, Black, Blue, Gold, Black.

Hm, let's see... I have one Gold instead of one Black. I think this should be right.

[Qvist]

And could you please double check your mana crystals? You had 2x Blue, 3x White and 1x Green.
Then you've spent Green, Blue and White and gained Blue and 2x Red.
So you should have 2x Blue, 2x White and 2x Red, right?

[theorel]

I'll take Bonds of Loyalty and Magic Talent.

[theorel]

Crystals are right.  Your mana is right (I switched the gold I rolled to black, because I was just thinking "depleted")

[Qvist]

Northern Monks and Savage Monks are added to the unit offer because of Bonds of Loyalty.

No.

Is this white monster in my city insanely evil?

Depends.

Rest, discarding Decompose and 3 wounds

[Jorbles]

Can anyone recruit those Monks or just theorel?

[theorel]

Based on my reading of the skill anyone.  (it says they're added to the offer).  But confirmation would probably be good.

[theorel]

Confirmed.  Anyone can recruit.  They go away at end of round, which is why they are separated.
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/765393/bonds-of-loyalty-questions

[Jorbles]

Use green mana die to play Tranquility for 2 cards.

[Qvist]

Rest, discarding Decompose and 3 wounds
End turn, obviously

I'm assuming that you use your Native Village mat.

[Jorbles]

Play Refreshing Walk for the weaker effect to heal a wound from hand. (2 move) Walk partway into the desert, but then think better of it and turn around and come back, moving nowhere.

Interact with the locals.

Play Promise for 2 Influence. Threaten for 2 Influence.  Spend a green mana crystal to use Universal Power to play March sideways for 4 influence.

Recruit the Northern Monks.

End of turn.

New mana die:

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

Oh yeah, thanks.
Can i get my draw?

[popsofctown]

(2 move) Walk partway into the desert, but then think better of it and turn around and come back, moving nowhere.

It takes one movement point to start moving into the desert, and one movement point to make the return trip.
This math checks out.

[popsofctown]

2 questions:
Is a keep that doesn't belong to you a "safe space"?
Is Horn of Wrath supposed to have up to 8 damage on the self-destruct effect, or up to 10?  I thought I remembered it capping out at 8 but the text you just sent me says 10.

[popsofctown]

3rd question: are advanced action replenished immediately, or at end of turn? (normal ones, not monastery ones)

[Jorbles]

Is a keep that doesn't belong to you a "safe space"?

This one I'm pretty sure is no. I didn't move into Watno's keep because I would have had to assault it when I moved there.

[popsofctown]

Well I don't mind being forced to assault a keep, I just want to know if I can use Wings of Night's special movement to get there.

[popsofctown]

Another question I have:  You can assign damage to an exhausted unit, right?

[theorel]

2 questions:
Is a keep that doesn't belong to you a "safe space"?
Is Horn of Wrath supposed to have up to 8 damage on the self-destruct effect, or up to 10?  I thought I remembered it capping out at 8 but the text you just sent me says 10.

1. No

. A space is considered to be a safe space if:
 • It is accessible under normal conditions (i.e. if no special
eƲ ects apply).
 • It is not an unconquered forti´ ed site, or a keep owned
by an opponent.
 • It does not contain another hero, except for sites that
allow more heroes (portal, conquered city)

2. I thought the horn of wrath went up to 12?

Horn of Wrath
Siege Attack 6.
Roll a mana die. If you roll black or red, you get a Wound.

Siege Attack 6.
You may add up to +6 to this Siege Attack. For each +1 you added roll a mana die. You get a Wound for each black or red rolled.

Which agrees with the image I can find of it in google.
Now I'm kind of confused because the one that he posted in this thread has the normal use from the base game, and the destroyed use from the expansion.

3.
Everything in the rulebook immediately replenishes the offer.  Given that there's no time set to do it at end of turn, I would say that Learning et al replenish it immediately.

4. You can assign damage to an exhausted unit.  The only requirement is that the be unwounded.

[popsofctown]

Banner of Protection Assign this to a unit you control. The assigned unit gets armor +1, fire resistance and ice resistance. /// At the end of your turn, you may throw away all wounds you received this turn.
Banner of Courage Assign this to a unit you control. Once a round, except during combat, you may flip this card face down to ready this unit. At the beginning of a round, flip it face up again. /// You may play this any time other than combat to ready all units you control.

Assign both my banners to my Amotep freezers.
Challenge dragon.
Use blue mana from the source to power Amotep Freezers Ice Beam ability.
It's super effective!
Flip Red Crystal Craft.  Use the red mana token to power Maximal effect, Playing Rage twice for 8 total damage and throwing rage away.
That kills the dragon.
Use a green mana crystal Training to throw away Swiftness and swap it out for Agility.  popsofctown's speed rose greatly!
End my turn.

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[theorel]

Gah, you stole agility.  Why do I have to play this game with other people that keep messing up my plans...

[Qvist]

Now I'm kind of confused because the one that he posted in this thread has the normal use from the base game, and the destroyed use from the expansion.

I'm confused too. Not sure how that happened. All cards used here are the unchanged cards. I might change them later if we use Lost Legion, but not for this game. So it caps at +12.
I hope all other questions are answered now.

[Qvist]

Assign both my banners to my Amotep freezers.

Unless I'm mistaken you can't assign 2 Banners to one single unit.

[Qvist]

Just noticed that it doesn't change the outcome. Just state here what you want to do with which Banner instead, then I'll send you a new hand.

Okay, this took several tries to get right...but I think this is what I want to do.

Use Leaves in the Wind for a green crystal and white token.
Spend the Green Crystal on Path Finding for move 4, reduce all terrain to 2.
Move to my keep.
Assault the white city (-1 Rep)
Skip Ranged attack phase.
Play Determination powered by blue crystal for Block 5, blocking the 5-attack guy.
Use Monks with leadership for block 6 blocking the 6-attack guy.
take 3 damage as a wound in hand.

Play Magic Talent, discarding Stamina to use Expose, as if in hand.
Use Black Source Mana and white token for Mass Expose: removing all enemy resistances, and getting ranged attack 3.
Use Swiftness with white crystal for attack 3. (6)
Use 2xRage with red crystals for attack 8. (14)
Kill the defense 7( and defense 5(6) guys, for +12 fame.

Retreat to the Keep.

Okay, that should leave me with 2 cards in hand (1 a wound).

and with 1 blue, and 1 white crystal.

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

return the formerly black source mana.

Oh, defeating the highly resistant guy, not the 3 attack guy.  should be obvious from my expected fame reward, but I didn't properly specify.

Put a card on NV
Assault City.
Play Fire Storm empowered by black source mana and red crystal for Siege Fire Attack 8, taking a wound killing the grey and the brown monster.

You gave my freezers the wrong banner.  Keep the refresher banner in my hand, give the freezers the resistance banner

Ah, I did understand "leave" as leave on the unit. Ok, I'll change it.

My Red Cape Monks should be exhausted (I used them to block)

My Red Cape Monks should be exhausted (I used them to block)

Yeah, thx for the heads up. I did it in the spreadsheet, but forgot to do it here.

[Watno]

My level and stats also isn't updated in the post yet.

[Jorbles]

I think I've gotten all I can from this monastery.

Assault the Monastery. What defends it?

[Watno]

That's the spirit!

[Qvist]

What defends it?

Attack: Summoning Brown Enemy
Defense: 3 with Physical Resistance
Fame: 4

Edit: Brown Enemy revealed after Ranged Combat is over

[Jorbles]

I don't need no stinking ranged attack (or have any way of doing one). What's it summon?

[popsofctown]

Am I the only one who respects that which is holy?

[Qvist]

I don't need no stinking ranged attack (or have any way of doing one). What's it summon?

Minotaur with 5 Attack and Brutal

[Jorbles]

Blue mana die, Ice Block 3 reducing armor of enemy by 3. (they now have an armor of 1 with physical resistance.) Use Determination for Block 2. That's a full block.

Use Rage for Attack 2. Killing the monster.

Reward please?

I don't think that's a safe assumption at all.  I can think of lots of cases where you would choose not to.  They aren't far too edgy either.

So I'm waiting with giving you the hand. The update assumed you want to use the Tactic card.

[popsofctown]

Use a blue mana crystal to play Stamina, Move+4
Flip Double move for Move+1.
Play Swiftness for Move+2.
Use a white crystal for Agility, Move +4, and I can spend move points as attack points this turn.
11 Move points.
Use green mana from the source to play Tranquility and heal my unit.
Use a white crystal, Wings of Wind and 3 move points to move next to the unconquered keep.
Spend 4 move points to assault the keep.

This will upset the dragon, but I don't care, he's just gonna attack my freezers and do nothing to them.

[theorel]

???Freezers have armor 6, that dragon is brutal fire/ice.  So, he'll wound them and you'll have 6 more damage left over to deal with.  (even if he wasn't brutal, the freezers would still be wounded, not having nothing happen)

[popsofctown]

" -> with Banner of Protection Assign this to a unit you control. The assigned unit gets armor +1, fire resistance and ice resistance. /// At the end of your turn, you may throw away all wounds you received this turn.
"
Qvist made a clerical error putting the other banner there earlier.

I did miss the brutality though, so my freezers will be sore in the morning.

[theorel]

Ah yeah, I missed the banner...

[Qvist]

You encounter an enemy with 3 Attack, 7 Defense and fortified, 3 Fame

[popsofctown]

Use a blue mana crystal to play Cold Toughness for 10 (!) block.
Finish the block with a damned Banner of Protection.
Block the little guy with my Guardsmen.
Play Horn of Wrath for 6 attack
Add four attack from movement points to kill the big dragon.

Double fortification is really annoying and lame.  As is 7 armor.

done,

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[Qvist]

Finish the block with a damned Banner of Protection.

Not sure what this means actually. The banner is on your unit.

Edit: I think I understand now. I Don't give a Damn + Banner of Courage, I guess.

[Qvist]

You level up. Choose a skill:

Who Needs Magic? Once a turn: One card played sideways gives you +2 instead of +1. If you use no die from the source this turn, it gives +3 instead.
I Feel No Pain Once a turn, except in combat: Discard one wound from hand. If you do, draw a new card.

or any Skill from the Offer. Also choose an Advanced Action.

That's ok. The rules explicitly say that you can change you decision as long as you haven't got any new information.

I forgot to say that the purple tile is depleted and gets reshuffled now. I guess that's ok.

You encounter an enemy with 5 Ice Attack, 6 Defense with Ice Resistance and 5 Fame.

I dunno, you gained the information of pops saying "bad dog".  I think that must have influenced your decision.

[Jorbles]

The Advanced Action deck is empty now.

Edit: Never happened to me before and I think this case is rather rare. I'm not sure what is done now. 

They don't come to a concrete decision on what should be done, but here's a relevant BGG thread:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/859890/not-enough-advanced-actions-to-fill-offer

[Watno]

I don't see any option except people not getting any more Advanced actions once they run out.

[Jorbles]

There is no shuffling of the AAs. There is no AA discard pile; AAs are not "discarded" when removed from the offers.
p.4, One Round of the Game (Day or Night), 2nd print Rulebook wrote:
2c. If there are some Advanced Action cards in the Unit offer, put them to the bottom of the Advanced Action deck.
2d. Refresh the Advanced Action offer - Remove the lowest position Advanced Action card in the offer and put it on the bottom of the Advanced Action deck.

This part seems to imply says that we should have been putting Advanced Actions on the bottom of the deck. If we've been doing that and all the Advanced Actions are in people's decks than I think Watno is right and they are just gone.

[theorel]

There are no more monasteries right?  So, we'll get another one back from the monastery offer at the start of day3.

Also, Intimidate is red not green right?

The question would be whether thrownaway AA's could get back into the pile. 

[Qvist]

Yeah, I think there's no other way than just keep playing until they run out. Thrown away AAs definitely won't get back.

Also, Intimidate is red not green right?

Correct & Fixed.

[Jorbles]

Use white mana die and Universal Power to play March sideways for 3 Move. Move to and assault the Spawning Ground.

[popsofctown]

It's not an assault, i don't think.  It's not fortified.

[Jorbles]

Oh well I just walk into it then.

[Jorbles]

I'm trying to have a sense of drama here pops!

[Qvist]

Medusa with 6 Attack and Petrify, 4 Armour and 5 Fame
Werewolf with 7 Attack and Swiftness, 5 Armour and 5 Fame

[Jorbles]

Use a blue mana crystal to power Ice Block 4 from the Guardian Golems, Northern Monks block 3. Block the Medusa.

Assign damage from the Werewolf to the Guardian Golems, which makes them double wounded.

Play Sword of Justice, which lets me discard cards for +3 Attack. Discard Pure Magic, Swiftness and Threaten for +9 Attack. Kill both Medusa and Werewolf for +10 fame, +an additional 2 fame from Sword of Justice.

I think I should be getting +12 fame, a level up, and the rewards from beating the Spawning Grounds.

[Qvist]

Assign damage from the Werewolf to the Guardian Golems, which makes them double wounded.

This is not true. They get only wounded once and you would get one Wound in hand. Are you ok with this?

[Jorbles]

Oh yeah, that's even better. I thought I had to assign it all to them.

[Qvist]

Just to be sure you could also instead wound your other unit instead for the same effect (1 Wound in hand).

7-3 = 4 -> No Wound
4-3 = 1 -> Wound for Guardian Golems
1-3 = -1 -> Wound for you

7-4 = 3 -> Wound for Northern Monks
3-3 = 0 -> Wound for you

[Jorbles]

Nah, I'd rather keep the Northern Monks safe. They have a better non-mana costing ability.

[Qvist]

Re-roll Source Mana

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

Roll Reward for Spawning Grounds

Rolled 3d6 : 3, 3, 1, total 7

[Qvist]

You get 2 Red Mana Crystals and one of your choice. Which one do you want?

[Jorbles]

I'll take White.

[Qvist]

Also you level up. Choose a skill:

White Crystal Craft Once a round: Flip this to gain a blue crystal to your Inventory and a white mana token
Green Crystal Craft Once a round: Flip this to gain a blue crystal to your Inventory and a green mana token

or any skill from the Skill offer. Also choose an Advanced Action.

[Jorbles]

From the Advanced Actions I'll take Intimidate.

[Jorbles]

From the Common Offer I'll take Shield Mastery.

[Qvist]

Ok. End of his turn.

pops' turn now. I will update the map later, but spreadsheet is up-to-date. You only have one card in hand, do you want to do anything, pops?

[popsofctown]

of course, use Swift Bolt to gain a white crystal.

[theorel]

Play Amulet of the Sun to make it day for me.
Play Ambush for Move 2, Assault the City. (-1 Rep)
Pass Ranged Combat.
Play Improvisation sideways for 1 Block + 2 from Ambush.  Blocking the defender.
Play Blood Rage using a gold mana token, and taking a wound for attack 9.
Killing the defender for +3 fame, and taking the city.
Play Tranquility powered by gold mana from source, trashing 1 wound from hand and healing the Foresters.

@watno: Are you taking down the green city?

[Jorbles]

I think he's going to... which I dislike, but I don't think I can do it until the beginning of Day 3.

[Watno]

Didn't you see? I'm not doing anything. I ended my turn.
But actzally I'd like to make a change and set aside a card on my NV.
The rest of my turn remains unchanged.

Yes, you ended your turn, but now you're going to have like an 11-card final turn for the night...I'm asking if you're going to use those 11 cards to take the city.  You presumably know what they all are, and thus know if you can do it.  (Note: I'm asking facetiously, I don't actually expect you to answer...I just expect you to do it )

If I called end of round, he would have just popped it immediately and taken the city, just with more wounds than he would have otherwise taken.
And I need a white crystal, I don't have any, and I have lots of white effects in my deck.

Is it legal for me to explore the tile to the east of the desert?

[Qvist]

If you mean south east, then yes. Otherwise, no. It has to be adjacent to two other tiles.

Yes, you ended your turn, but now you're going to have like an 11-card final turn for the night...I'm asking if you're going to use those 11 cards to take the city.  You presumably know what they all are, and thus know if you can do it.  (Note: I'm asking facetiously, I don't actually expect you to answer...I just expect you to do it )
Assuming you do, I'll just blame pops for taking a white crystal rather than ending the round...

If I called end of round, he would have just popped it immediately and taken the city, just with more wounds than he would have otherwise taken.
And I need a white crystal, I don't have any, and I have lots of white effects in my deck.

But when he takes the city it's game over.  Taking lots of wounds might have meant not winning at that point...so he might have held off.  Of course the bonus fame from the extra city might just offset that.

Wait, what?
I thought we play 6 rounds?

[Qvist]

Oh no. I probably should have made that more clear.

Your task is to find and conquer all cities in three days and three
nights. Each of you will be on your own, and as usual, you want to
get as much Fame, knowledge and loot as possible. Luckily for you,
conquering cities is a great way to get Fame.

Scenario End
When all cities are conquered, all players (including the one who
conquered the last city) have one last turn. If the Round ends
during this, the game ends immediately.

[theorel]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city?

(now that I've gotten an answer it's easier to find the rules)
Yes, we need to explore 4 more "countryside" tiles before we can get a chance of a city.
After that each exploration will be a core tile. There are 7 "Core" tiles, 4 with cities 3 without.

After that, I think we can't explore any more.

Also, in case anyone didn't notice: the game goes 3 days and 3 nights (or until all cities have been conquered).  So we are almost 1/3 of the way through the game time (of course, each round is longer than the previous as we get more cards, so we're really less than 1/3 of the way through)

All good stuff to know.

Just to note, I did mention it a while ago...since I thought it might be an important thing that people wouldn't have noticed.  Back when we were talking about the chances of finding a city.

[theorel]

At the time, I didn't think we'd be conquering cities this quickly.

[popsofctown]

I thought we were at 2 going on three conquered cities.  Guess I wasn't paying enough attention to other's turns..

[Jorbles]

Play Sapphire Ring for +1 fame, +1 mana token, +1 blue crystal.
Use blue mana token to power Intimidate (sideways via Universal Power for 3 Move).
Use green mana die to power Will Focus. Use Will Focus to power Stamina for 7 Move.

Move to the spot in the desert two SE of my current position. Explore a new tile.

I have 2 move left over, which I may or may not use to move into the new tile. (I don't know if you need to process anything but the +1 fame and the crystal, I don't think anything else will affect final game scoring.)

[Qvist]

[Qvist]

Also, Watno hasn't conquered the city yet, Jorbles. 

[Jorbles]

I'll move south to the razed monastery.

[theorel]

You had 10 move right?  So you have 4 move now... (deserts only cost 3 at night)

[Jorbles]

No I used 8 to move and 2 to explore. Desert, desert, explore, grassland.

[theorel]

oh right, forgot the exploring part...

[Qvist]

I assume end of turn then. Re-roll:

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[Watno]

pops has to pass because he has no cards in hand, right?

[Qvist]

pops has to pass because he has no cards in hand, right?

Ah right, forgot about that.

pops declares End of Round.
theorel's turn.

[theorel]

Well, since Jorbles stole my exploration...I'll just stay put and hope that Watno doesn't end the game.
Discard March.  End Turn.

[Watno]

Pick up NV mat (Qvist already sent me the contents)
Play March to assault City
Play Ruby Ring for red crystal, red token, fame +1
Play Flame Wave empowered by red token and black die from source for Fire Block 7+6, blocking the white and the brown monster.
Take a wound from the grey monster, and an extra on to discard pile because of poison
Play Swiftness empowered by white crystal (3), Wound (2),  use skills (3), play Mana Draw, Blood Ritual, Mana Storm, Promise and Crystallize sideways (5) for a total of Attack 13, killing the brown and the white monster
Retreat, taking 1 wound
Play Golden Grail for Heal 2, healing 2 wounds, +2 Fame
End turn
Reroll black die

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[theorel]

So, we have at least one more turn

Note for anyone who didn't notice.  When the last city is conquered everyone gets 1 more turn...including the person that conquered the city.

[Qvist]

Retreat, taking 1 wound

Sorry if I'm blind, but why do you take a Wound by the forced withdrawal?

[Watno]

I thought you take a wound for each space you have to withdraw? If I don't get that wound, i'll heal one from my unit instead.

[Qvist]

I think that only applies to PvP combat.

[Qvist]

I updated the spreadsheet. I can't update the map currently, but it's only Jorbles who has to take a turn now and he has only 2 cards so I guess that's not that significant.

[Jorbles]

If I assign the Banner of Fear does it stay assigned for next round or does it get shuffled back in? If it does than I assign it to my Northern Monks, and then end my turn.

Otherwise I just end my turn.

[Qvist]

At the start of each round you can choose if you want to let the banner assigned or want to shuffle it back in.
Also, keep in mind that you can't use the strong effect if the banner is assigned.
I'll update the everything in the next few hours.

pops, please let me know if you want to let the Banner assigned.

[popsofctown]

Keep the banner assigned

[Qvist]

Re-roll mana

Rolled 6d6 : 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, total 10

[Galzria]

Holy crap. I just looked at your gamestate. That's some impressive leveling going on.

Holy crap. I just looked at your gamestate. That's some impressive leveling going on.

Yeah, the game is nearly over.

[popsofctown]

Can I explore from my space?

[Qvist]

Can I explore from my space?

No-one can explore anymore. There are no tiles left.

[popsofctown]

we've practically completed the game in two thirds the allotted time.

[Jorbles]

I guess we should take tactics that let us go ahead of Watno.

I'll take Rethink.

[theorel]

I'll take Early Bird

[popsofctown]

If I take The Right Moment, and my first turn turns out to be my last turn (because all cities are conquered), can I still play out the bonus turn?

[Qvist]

If I take The Right Moment, and my first turn turns out to be my last turn (because all cities are conquered), can I still play out the bonus turn?

I guess so.

[popsofctown]

Then I take the Right Moment.

[Watno]

I take Great Start

[popsofctown]

Lol.  Yeah that makes lots of sense.

[theorel]

Okay, I:
Play Ambush.
Provoke the Dragon.
Skip Ranged attack phase.
Use Foresters and Monks for Block 6.
Play Blood Rage, March, Stamina, and March sideways for Block 4 + 2 from Ambush, for 6. (12).
Use Catapults with gold mana from source and leadership for Fire Attack 7.  Killing the dragon. End Turn.

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

Can I explore from my space?

No-one can explore anymore. There are no tiles left.

Lurker comment: There's a spot that should still be open for exploration, even though the normally allotted tiles are all used. If there's a space with three other tiles touching it, you can always explore it; you use whatever tiles are left "in the box", even if they're Countryside tiles.

You level up. Choose a skill:

Lurker comment: There's a spot that should still be open for exploration, even though the normally allotted tiles are all used. If there's a space with three other tiles touching it, you can always explore it; you use whatever tiles are left "in the box", even if they're Countryside tiles.

Ok, I didn't knew that. On which page of the rulebook is this?

Page 6, "Movement", section 5e, third bullet point.

Thanks. I missed this.

[theorel]

Can I take Bright Negotiation?  Or cannot I not choose my own skills from the offer?  If so, I do that.  If not, I take Dark Negotiation.

No, you can't Bright Negotiation. Then, you have to take Dark Negotiation. You also get Song of Wind then.

[theorel]

Alright, let's do it.

[theorel]

To clarify, I take Dark Negotiation/Song of the Wind.

Jorbles' turn.

[Jorbles]

If I assault the Mage Tower will I provoke the dragon?

[Qvist]

No.

[popsofctown]

No.

Unless you want it to.  (You can challenge the dragon to join in on the fight.  You'd fight two enemies, but only one of them would be fortified)

[Jorbles]

I couldn't kill both of them I was just wondering how many wounds I'd take, none if I don't have to fight the dragon too.

Play Mana Draw to use an additional die from the source.

Use Universal Power to play Swiftness sideways for 4 move (white mana die), use March for 2 move.
Move to and assault the mage tower. (-1 reputation)

Use Northern Monks and Banner of Fear to cancel the attack of the Fire Mages. (+1 fame)

Use gold mana die to power Rage for 4 attack, play another Rage for 2 attack. Killing the defenders.

+5 more fame. Level up. For my spell for taking the Mage Tower I'll take Call to Arms/Call to Glory.

whoa.  He's still not entering the city.  Is he behind on score?  I'm gonna check out end of game scoring more closely.

I guess he just had to choose between the healing and conquering the city.  Swift poison is admittedly a really nice combo..

Looks like that tile may get explored after all...

[popsofctown]

Use white mana from the source to play Mana Draw.  Set the blue die to green and get two green tokens.  Use one token to power tranquility and draw two cards.

[popsofctown]

Use Double Move and an unpowered Stamina to move to the adventure site and enter it

[Qvist]

Minotaur / 5 Attack / Brutal / 5 Armour / 4 Fame
Swordsmen   / 6 Attack / 5 Armour / 4 Fame (last grey enemy before reshuffle)

[popsofctown]

Minotaur / 5 Attack / Brutal / 5 Armour / 4 Fame
Swordsmen   / 6 Attack / 5 Armour / 4 Fame (last grey enemy before reshuffle)

Wait, so if I had gone into a single-enemy dungeon first, then gone to this site, the Swordsmen would have missed the reshuffle right?  So that monster gets less exposure, just like Dominion?

Oh wait, those enemies aren't of the same type.  Surely there is some edge case where the parallel holds though

[popsofctown]

Group the enemies together.
Play Horn of Wrath, Crushing Bolt, and Utem Crossbowmen to do 11 Ranged damage.
Discard Cold Toughness.

Roll for Horn

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

Roll the white mana die I used

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

End my turn, but...[/b]
Can I draw my next hand before deciding whether to use The Right Moment?  As far as I can tell I can, because it's similar to Long Night.

[theorel]

http://boardgamegeek.com/article/8586250#8586250
It has to be before you draw your hand.  (actually, before you begin any end of turn activities, the first of which is rerolling source dice...not that I would count that against you.)

[Qvist]

So, would you like to use your Tactics, pops?

[popsofctown]

Time Walk

[popsofctown]

Wait a sec

[popsofctown]

In light of the additional information about how i need to commit to the Time Walk or not, I want to additionally discard Stamina, leaving only March in my hand.

At the time when I would have decided whether to discard it, if I knew I had to commit to Time Walk, I would have chosen to leave March in hand because there was green mana available in the source, and I didn't yet know that I would roll a gold. 

Only after that decision would I find out about rolling a gold and drawing Emerald Ring (Green mana producing ring), which I am going to select since March is in my hand.

I'm trying to be clear that I'm preserving the integrity of the game.  This is what I would have done if I knew I had to Time Walk before looking at my next hand.

[Qvist]

Not sure if I understood this. Are you using The Right Moment or not?

[popsofctown]

Yes, I am using the Right Moment.  I like to call it Time Walk.  Y'know, the power nine card?
http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?name=Time%20Walk

[popsofctown]

i'm planning out my turn.  My roommates want to play puerto rico, so i might have to get back to you guys on this.  I figure you'll understand though..

[popsofctown]

The pdf never loads right for me :/ could someone tell me what that structure at the very top right of the map does?

[popsofctown]

also, is there any end of game scoring bonus for conquering cities?  none of the thingies seemed to apply, it said only monasteries and mage towers and keeps count for conquest.

[Watno]

its 7 vo for being leader, 4 vp for having shields wothout being leader (per city)
The structure at the top right is a tomb i think, you can fight a dragon there (see first post)

[theorel]

(just to add to what watno said) Cities bonus VPs is in the main rules under the Full Conquest scenario.  Watno will also get +5 VP for having the highest fame from cities.  (which is guaranteed because even if one of us takes that last green spot, we only get 11 fame total from cities while Watno gets 14, and can't get more, even if he conquers the green city completely).

For end-game scoring it's best to have a shield in each city...which I wish I'd realized earlier

[popsofctown]

Use gold mana from the source to power Agility, for Move +4.
Use Double Move for Move +2.
Move to the Village.
Use Promise to assure the Foresters that, with me, they will have a better life.
Assign my Banner of Courage (You pm'ed me Banner of Protection by mistake, BoP is the banner my Freezers are holding) to the Foresters.
End my turn.  But immediately after my turn ends, I want to Pillage, and also use my Prayer of Weather.

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

[theorel]

You do know that you're getting no benefit from Prayer of Weather this way?  (you get the benefit on your turn when you use it, and then everyone gets the penalty...you lose the benefit at start of turn).

Anyways, it doesn't actually impact my play.
Play Diamond Ring for some white mana. (+1 fame)
Play Noble Manners with White Mana Token for Influence 4 (+2 from Dark Negotiation, +2 from City Shields, 8 total...also +1 fame and rep)
Play Improvisation discarding Path Finding for Influence 3 (11)
Recruit Fire mages (costing 9, so down to 2 influence)
Use Fire Mages to gain a Red Mana Token and Red Mana Crystal.
Play Threaten with Red Mana Token for Influence 5 (7, and -1 rep to cancel the noble manners)
Recruit Altem Mages under Bonds of Loyalty for 7 influence.

I play Crystallize with the Blue Source Mana for a blue crystal.
End of Turn

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

[theorel]

Just checking...that ruins in the top right is 3 white mana right?

Also, I said +2 for shields, which was actually +3 from shields, -1 from reputation

[popsofctown]

I thought it was until end of your next turn.  I don't want to use up Prayer of Weather.  I still want to Pillage though.

[Qvist]

Ok, I process this later. I'm in a hurry now.

Damn that Ice Dragon is tough. I can't kill it.

Use a blue crystal to get Move 4. Explore to the south. (I think this is allowed because it's surrounded correct?)

[theorel]

Yes, you can...you'll find a tomb immediately south of you (which means another dragon).
And...you'll crush my hopes for my next turn

[Jorbles]

Oh and though I didn't mention it that blue crystal is powering a Stamina.

[Jorbles]

Oh have you determined what the last tile will be? I'm just seeing if there's anywhere more useful for me to fly to this turn than the green crystal mine.

[theorel]

Yeah, this one:
http://unofficialmageknighttheboardgame.wikia.com/wiki/Map_tiles?file=MK_map_tiles_02-3.png

[popsofctown]

How will it be oriented?

[theorel]

Mountain at the top, unless I'm mistaken.

[popsofctown]

that's not going to do much for Jorbles.. he's free to undo since it's derived info.

[popsofctown]

unless he can fly

[Jorbles]

I haven't used Flight yet, but I just realized I have Shield Mastery which I forgot about and may help me kill the dragon. Let me redo my math.

[Jorbles]

Okay I'll do this instead. Your turn is saved theorel.

Provoke Dragon.

Use Shield Mastery for Fire Block 2.
Use white mana die to power Call to Arms to call up the Altem Guardians for 8 Block.
Block 6 Ice Attack.
Use a red crystal to power Intimidate for 7 Attack, -2 influence.
Use Universal Power to play Stamina sideway for 4 Attack powered by a blue mana crystal
Play Promise sideways (1 attack) and Determination (2 attack). Totally 14 attack. Killing the Dragon.

Gain +2 Influence, +8 Fame.

Big turn here.
Use Double Move for 2 Move points.
Put Prayer of Weather in play.
Flip Foresters for 2 Move Points.
Use Emerald Ring and use the green mana token for March for 4 Move points.
Use 2 move points to cross the Wasteland to the southeast.  Use 0 move points to move to the forest next to the unexplored tile.  Use 2 move points to explore the unexplored tile.  Use 0 movepoints to cross the hill and then 2 move points to enter the dragon lair and explore.
I fight a dragon if it's a.....
Swamp Dragon:
Block it with Utem Guardsmen, it loses Swiftness. Finish the block with a sideways Heroic Tale.  Attack it with the Amotep Freezers.  Don't Give a Damn a Maximal effect sideways and play a Training sideways to get up to 9 damage and kill it.   Use Swift bolt to gain a crystal.  Keep the remaining two cards in my hand and end my turn.
Fire Dragon:
Use a blue Crystal to freeze the dragon with the Freezers.  Use Utem Guardsmen for Attack 2.  Use white source mana for Attack 4 from Swift Bolt.  Don't give a damn about Heroic Tale for Attack 3.  Play Training sideways for Attack 1.  That's Attack 8, killing it. Keep the other two cards in my hand. 
Ice Dragon: There have already been two Ice Dragons so that should not be a possibility.
High Dragon: Ditto

End My turn

A mana die will have to be rolled if I had to use white source mana for Swift Bolt.

[theorel]

There have already been 2 high dragons also.  What spell are you taking?

[theorel]

Also, do you have Stamina?  Cause March is Green so it can't gain an Ice Bolt from Training, since Training requires the gained card to be the same color.

[theorel]

Also, I'm sad that pops totally destroyed anything I could do on my turn by playing prayer of weather.  My shuffle luck this day has been awful.  (got all my move when I didn't want it, and now I have all my useful cards, but no move perfectly to coincide with everything being harder to move through)

[popsofctown]

No, I don't have a Stamina, nor any blue card.  I'll have to revise my turn.

[popsofctown]

There have already been 2 high dragons also.  What spell are you taking?

I think I get to draw two artifacts and use that information to decide what spell and artifact to take.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

[theorel]

There have already been 2 high dragons also.  What spell are you taking?

I think I get to draw two artifacts and use that information to decide what spell and artifact to take.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct.  I just wondered if you already knew, since it would help me re-plan my turn.  But, on reflection I need to know the new spell anyways before I can make any decisions.

Realistically, I'm just hoping you can't take the Fire Dragon without ice bolt...and decide to do something else.
EDIT: oh, you already did kill it.

[theorel]

@QVist: could you PM me the new spell that shows up?

[Qvist]

Just wait. What do you mean with Dragon Lair? Do you mean the Tomb on the newly revealed tile?
Then, I have to warn you that your proposed moves aren't valid as you can't use units in the tomb...

[theorel]

Oh, that's right...hope returns

(I forgot, because I could use my loyal unit there...though I don't need him for this dragon.)

[popsofctown]

balls

[popsofctown]

If I had known dragon tombs can't let you use units, I would have used all my units on that adventure site earlier :/.

Ok, new move.

Use Double Move for Move 2.
Flip Emerald Ring and use the green mana token to March to the desert Mage Tower
Start interacting for 3 Influence.
Play an unpowered Maximal Effect and KC Heroic Tale for 9 Influence.
Don't give a Damn about Training for 3 Influence.
Use Swift Bolt to gain a white mana crystal.
Flip Red Crystal Craft and use the red mana token to to purchase the red spell.
Use white mana from the source to purchase Expose.
End my turn.

Someone roll a d6 for me if that's valid.

[Qvist]

Couldn't find a mistake this time

Rolled 1d6 : 6, total 6

[theorel]

Annnnd, I get all the way back to my original turn.  (yay no prayer for weather)

Play Empowered Crystal Mastery with a Blue Crystal...I get all crystals back at the end of the turn.
Flip Leaves on the Wind for a white token and green crystal.
Play Empowered Mana Draw with a white token, taking the green source mana and flipping it to blue, for 2 blue tokens.
Play Empowered Song of the Wind with a white crystal and a blue token, for 2 move, move -2 for some stuff, and ability to move across lakes.
Play Rage and Book of Wisdom sideways for Move 2. (4 move)
Move SE twice (across the lake) and explore South (-2 move=2), then move South onto the Tomb.
Enter the Tomb.  Encounter a Fire or Swamp Dragon. 
Play Mana Thunderbolt using a blue crystal, a white crystal and a black source mana for Ranged Ice Attack 9.  OHKO regardless of which type.
--
(just in case I made an error above)
Play Pure Magic with a blue token to gain Mana Claim/Mana Curse into my discard pile.
Play Fire Bolt to gain a Red Crystal.

That Uses 2 blue crystals, 2 blue tokens, 2 white crystals, 1 white token, and 1 black source mana.
I get all 4 crystals back, and gain an extra red and green crystal.  So I should have 2 Blue, White, and Red, and 1 Green at the end of it.

black mana becomes:

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

I'll take Whirlwind/Tornado as my Spell-gain from the tomb.

[theorel]

I said SE but should have said SW.  I'm bad with cardinal directions.

[Qvist]

Play Mana Thunderbolt using a blue crystal, a white crystal and a black source mana for Ranged Ice Attack 9.  OHKO regardless of which type.

We're having day, you can't use black mana.

[theorel]

Tomb, can use black mana

[Qvist]

Tomb, can use black mana

Ah, missed that. Cool.

[Qvist]

You encounter a Swamp Dragon and kill it. No error found.

(just in case I made an error above)

This I don't understand. Do you want me to execute Pure Magic and Fire Bolt or not?

[theorel]

It was just in case I had made an error and there could be a high dragon or ice dragon that I couldn't kill with Mana Thunderbolt.
(in which case Pure Magic could have helped me kill it)

Oh right, but the point was I was just putting those separate since they could be useful in case of error.  So I only wanted them executed in case of no error.

[Qvist]

Ok, so then you keep those 2 cards in hand?

[theorel]

No, play them as stated.  (see edit above...hopefully that clarified  Basically it should read, "only if no errors above")

[theorel]

So, what I actually meant was: "just in case I made an error above, I want to save these for last."

(trying to clarify too quickly usually makes things less clear.  I need to stop doing that)

[Qvist]

Play Pure Magic with a blue token to gain Mana Claim/Mana Curse into my discard pile.

Ok, hopefully last question.
You have Magic Talent, not Pure Magic in hand - what makes much more sense with what you want to do.
But, you need to play blue mana to activate the strong effect and a blue mana to take Mana Claim. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're out of blue mana.

[theorel]

Darn my mixing up of card names...
And, I actually remember reading that bit at some point, but I forgot it again. (the bit about having to pay a mana to gain a spell)

I'll use my green crystal (which I crystal Mastery back) and gain Tremor/Earthquake then.

If you take Source Freeze, you have to take Steady Tempo - as you have to take the lowest Advanced Action if you choose a skill from the offer.

Does physical resistance make a monster unaffected by white spell effects?  Or is it that special white effects and special green effects are "irresistible", even having all three resistances won't protect the creature.

[Qvist]

Does physical resistance make a monster unaffected by white spell effects?  Or is it that special white effects and special green effects are "irresistible", even having all three resistances won't protect the creature.

Physical Resistance has nothing to do with color of cards. It only halves damage of physical attacks.
So, if you will, white and green effects are "irresistable", yes.

Put Prayer of Weather in the center.
Play March.
Activate Foresters.
Refresh Foresters with the banner.
Activate Foresters.
Play Double Move.
(Note that Swamps, Hills, and Forests cost 0, other terrain is reduced by 2.)

Move to the tomb in the northeast corner of the map.

If it's a fire dragon, use a white crystal to play Expose, then use a red mana crystal and black source mana to destroy it with Disentegrate.
If it's a Swamp Dragon, just destroy it with Disentigrate.

If that checks out, that ends my turn

[theorel]

I encountered the swamp dragon, so you get fire.

But, Prayer of weather has minimum 1.  So plains still cost 1.  Deserts cost 3.  Hills, swamp, forest free.
I don't see how you get to the northeast tomb with 8 move.  (best I can do is with 9)

[popsofctown]

Yeah, I forgot that I can't move across a keep without assaulting it.

I'll play an Improvisation sideways to get up to 9 move.

[theorel]

Wait...swamps aren't free either.  -2 from prayer, -2 from foresters = -4.  5 (base swamp) -4=1.

I think you're going to have to chart your path here.
I don't see how the keep made a difference...(i.e. I couldn't do 8 even crossing a keep)

With swamps costing 1, the best I can manage is 13.

[popsofctown]

I thought swamps costed 4

[popsofctown]

Didn't someone explore and find a tile with a Tomb on it?  I don't see that in the picture.  And it might help me with the shortest route to the tomb. 

[theorel]

I'm standing on a tomb...and there is a tomb in the northeast.  I believe those are the only 2 tombs.

I think I can manage on 12.  Let me check

[popsofctown]

[popsofctown]

And I'll achieve that by adding a I don't give a Damn on burning shield for three more move points.

[Qvist]

Have screwed up my VASSAL file. Update has to wait a bit.
I haven't look in detail into this move, but movement seems fine.

[theorel]

Can we reroll the source mana so I can figure my turn?

[Qvist]

I'm currently nearly finished recreating which tokens are left in the draw piles. Shouldn't take so long. Then I check pops' turn.

[theorel]

cool.  Sounds good.

[Qvist]

Move seems fine. Re-roll

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[theorel]

Play Banner of Glory on Altem Mages.
Play Learning with  Stamina, and Quickness Sideways, and Dark Negotiations for Influence 6.  Gaining Ice Bolt to my discard.
Then I'll enter the tomb, and face a dragon of some sort.

[Qvist]

I need the Spell choice of pops.

Also, remember that Prayer of Weather is active.

[theorel]

I don't think spell choice will effect my turn.  And I don't think the dragon I get will have any significant influence on the spell pops chooses.

[Qvist]

Fire Dragon / Fire Attack 9 / Armour 7 with Fire + Physical Resistance / 8 Fame

[theorel]

Darn no black mana.  Was really hoping for an Ice Dragon so that the mages could kill it all by themselves.

Spend a white source mana with Tornado, Dragon doesn't attack.
Altem Mages use Cold-Fire attack 5+2 from Leadership to kill the dragon. (+1 Fame from Banner)

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

Also, I don't know if this matters or not, but I'm pretty sure I only have 25 cards in my discard.
(20 before my turn + 4 played + 1 gained).

I think the issue is that Banner of Glory isn't in the discard.

[Qvist]

I think the issue is that Banner of Glory isn't in the discard.

Indeed, I did count it.

[Jorbles]

I totally thought this game would be over by now.

Play Sapphire Ring. +1 fame, +1 blue crystal, +1 blue mana token.
Play Steady Tempo using the blue mana token to activate it for move 4, putting it on top of my Deed deck.
Use gold mana die to power Crystallize gaining a white mana crystal.
Move to the green crystal mine.

End turn, gaining a green crystal.

[Jorbles]

Reroll the gold mana.

I thought I choose the artifact and the spell simultaneously.  Unless we're out of artifacts?

[popsofctown]

If I'm forced to choose the spell before seeing the artifacts I guess I'll take Mana Claim

[Qvist]

I thought I choose the artifact and the spell simultaneously.

Hm. What's the official ruling on this? Also can you choose the order how you put the cards on top of your deck. I can't find anything regarding this...

[Watno]

Enter dungeon

[Qvist]

Crypt Worm / 6 Attack / 6 Armour and Fortified   / 5 Fame

[Watno]

Take 2 wounds
Play Wound, Improvisation sideways and use Skills to kill.
Play Holy Grail to heal 2 wounds
End turn

[theorel]

Rewards from combat: If you won any rewards from a
combat, take them now. Pick your rewards in whatever order
you choose. If you won:...

So, pops should indeed be allowed to choose his Artifact first if he likes.

[theorel]

Now if he takes the artifact first, I'm pretty sure it goes on deck first, followed by spell.  And level-ups happen after other rewards, so level-up advanced action should be the last thing added to deck (not that it matters for this game).

[popsofctown]

I think this game has reached the point where both of those are irrelevant, I don't expect anyone to hoard enough cards in hand that the order of the top of the deck matters.

I would prefer to withhold my official and final spell choice until after I choose my artifact, so I can pick a spell that comboes with that, please.

Jorbles, Watno and pops, then the game is over.

[Jorbles]

Source Freeze.

Use Gold mana die to power Refreshing Walk for Move 4 and Heal 2. Heal Guardian Golems.

Use Blue mana crystal to power Steady Tempo (Move 4).

Move into Swamp and Explore to the south (spending 5 + 2 move).

[theorel]

there aren't any tiles left to explore.

[Jorbles]

Not even the countryside ones? I thought when the core ones ran out I could explore the countryside tiles as long as they would touch at least 3 other tiles.

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/893471/exploring-the-coastline-with-core-tiles-wedge-ma

[Qvist]

The countryside tiles are gone too, sorry.

[Jorbles]

In that case this is my new turn:

Source Freeze.

Use Gold mana die to power Refreshing Walk for Move 4 and Heal 2. Heal Guardian Golems.

Turn over.

[Watno]

Enter dungeon.

[Qvist]

Enter dungeon.

Of course. Booooring.

Crypt Worm / 6 Attack / 6 Armour Fortified / 5 Fame

[Watno]

Play Flame Wall empowered by red crystal for Block 7
Play Battle Versatility, improvised March and use skills to kill
Play Golden grail to heal 2 wounds for +2 Fame
End turn

Endgame scorings are stupid by the way

[popsofctown]

Pretty sure I can't do anything to impact my score.

Use I don't Give a Damn on a Rage for movement
Use Double Move for movement.
Move to the magical glade.
Trash a wound from my discard pile, thought i'm 99% sure there's not any wounds in there anyways
end my turn
Who won?

[theorel]

Let's see...bonuses we can see:
Cities (7 for city leader, 5 for non-leader, 5 for highest):
Jorbles: +0
theorel: +7
pops: +12
Watno: +14+5

Greatest Leader (+level of units, +3 for highest (+1 if tied)):
Jorbles: +4
theorel: +13 +3
pops: +8
Watno: +0

Greatest Conqueror (+2/mage tower, keep, monastery. +3 highest (+1 if tied)):
Jorbles: +6
theorel: +8
pops: +0
Watno: +10 +3

Greatest Adventurer (+2/adventure site. +3 highest (+1 if tied)):
Jorbles: +8 +1 (Note: missing shield on the ruins above him)
theorel: +6
pops: +8 +1
Watno: +4

Greatest Loot: (+2/artifact, +1/2 crystals.  +3 highest (+1 if tied)):
Jorbles: +3
theorel: +4
pops: +3
Watno: +3
Note: artifacts need to be added here.

So, final scores pre-deck inspection:
Jorbles: 68 + 3 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 90
theorel: 85 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 16 + 7 = 126
pops: 87 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 12 = 119
watno: 102 + 3 + 4 + 13 + 19 = 141

So, to that we need to add 2xartifacts, 1xadvanced actions, 2xspells, and subtract 2xwounds. plus the extra bonuses for highest score in each category.

Now to wait for QVist to let us know the actual end result...

[Jorbles]

Even though I think I did poorly compared to everyone else I really enjoyed learning this game. This was a good way to play this game for the first time. I just had the bad luck of heading off in the same direction as Watno who managed to do things I wanted to do a turn earlier than me quite often.

[theorel]

I think watno took good advantage of going frequently early in the turn order.

Now that we've all learned some, one of you should join MK III.

[Watno]

You are aware that I most probably lost due to having a lot of wounds? (I stopped keeping track at some point)

[theorel]

I'm really not sure what the final count is going to be.  You're a good 15 points up on me before counting decks.  That'd be 6 wounds...and of course there are spells, artifacts, and advanced actions which could counter some of that or add to it.  I think I have more of those than you do, or at least a comparable number.  I think this will be close, but I could be way off.  I have not been paying close enough attention to everyone else's decks to know.  I know you had way fewer wounds than I expected earlier when I actually went back and counted.

BUT, I still think you frequently made good use of going earlier in turn order.  I think I made more out of my turns, but you took several more turns than I did.

[popsofctown]

I think I made more out of my turns, but you took several more turns than I did.

So if you guys tied on fame, you win right?

Congrats, theorel

[Jorbles]

Congrats theorel, well played!

[theorel]

Yay!
I can't believe watno had 10 wounds.  That's way more than I expected.

Also, just out of curiosity...deck size compared to artifacts, spells, and advanced actions:
My deck was 31 cards, with 16 "improved" +1 banner. (15 normal)
pops had 25 cards, with 13 "improved" + 2 banners (12 normal)
Watno had 33 cards with 9 "improved" (and 10 wounds, so 14 normal)
Jorbles had 24 cards with 8 "improved" +1 banner. (16 normal)

I found having no Once a Turn skills* and no "versatility" skills to be annoying.  I kept looking at you guys playing a card as anything or having free attack, or even just free move, and feeling like I was 100% dependent on my hand.  I'm wondering if this was actually a weakness of the skills I chose/Norowas or if it just felt like a weakness.  Maybe it just felt like it given that I won in the end...but I chose wolfhawk in III in part because of the once a turn skills.

*I had Leadership, but it required me to exhaust a unit, so I don't count that as once a turn...given limitations of units.

[Watno]

Congratz. DElaying the game doesn't seem to have helped, but I had to take the chance
