But I've only got 1 Military card in hand right now?

And I'm playing it as my Political Action, right?

Political Action
Play Aggression: Plunder vs ipofanes.

Play card Defense/Colonization (I) for 2 Strength, no units sacrificed.

cayvie · « **Reply #101 on:** December 11, 2012, 03:57:05 am »

okay yeah

rest of my turn then

Civil Actions
Take Bread and Circuses (+1 Science from Aristotle)
Play Bread and Circuses
Build 1 Bread and Circuses
Play Frugality (A), increasing Population at full price, gaining a food.

no military actions.

no military actions.

And this is the main reason why I'd have shied away from attacking.

I seed an Event in my political phase

ipofanes plays an Age I event scoring 1 culture.

Development of Warfare is revealed: Each player with an unused worker my immediately build a Warrior unit for free.
Tables and cayvie are the only players with an unused worker. Tables is first in turn order, however, cayvie can either PM me zhon decision or post it in the thread if it doesn't depend on Tables'.

Dang.

That's what I love about a human gamemaster: conditional moves that get understood. We could get this game done much faster than three months this way.

Hrm. I don't think my actions depend on the development of military elsewhere, but I don't want to betray my plans until you guys have decided on the free warrior. Therefore I am not posting yet.

cayvie · « **Reply #111 on:** December 11, 2012, 06:12:50 am »

okay, uprisings don't happen until the end of my turn, right? so i can finish the great wall and get me a happy face before i fail to produce anything?

sounds like a deal.

I take the free warrior

ipofanes · « **Reply #112 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:25:17 am »

ok, what the heck, I'LL publish my move now:

Discard tactic card Phalanx

Increase population
Increase population
Build second stage of Pyramids
Build third stage of Pyramids
Take Bread & Circuses in hand

~~Build Warrior~~ (mod edit: didnt happen due to insufficient resources)
Discover military tactic Fighting Band

Tables · « **Reply #113 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:27:06 am »

This is just about, the perfect even right now. Maybe.

Build a free warrior

Tables · « **Reply #114 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:29:31 am »

For future reference, military discards are face down (i.e. PM them to Watno). There's a chance we'll get through the military deck before the civil deck, in which case it's reshuffled and reused.

Shoot, another thing I did wrong when playing ftf.

Watno · « **Reply #116 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:34:07 am »

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

Tables · « **Reply #117 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:36:26 am »

~~Play future event~~

Watno · « **Reply #118 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:38:37 am »

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

ipofanes · « **Reply #119 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:44:20 am »

~~I, for one, build the preacher.~~

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

Not sure, according to the spreadsheet you have one unused worker who will keep people happy as a Wandring Minstrel in the shopping district.

Watno · « **Reply #123 on:** December 11, 2012, 09:11:00 am »

That worker has become a warrior, I just can't really update the spreadsheet from here.
After Tables move, Genghis Khan is removed, new cards coming up are St. Peters Basilica and alchemy.
Note that spreadsheet still shows the state as of after cayvie's move, update to come in a couple of hours.
