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

cayvie · « **Reply #328 on:** December 20, 2012, 09:24:09 am »

ahhh crap

umm

if i just don't build a sworsdman, how much corruption do i take

Watno · « **Reply #329 on:** December 20, 2012, 10:36:58 am »

No corruption.
You end up with 4 food, 4 iron and 1 bronze, 16 culture and 5 science, 12 strength.
Cards coming up are Opera and Strategy (in this order), with Bread and Circuses removed.
I'll pm your miliary draws.
Spreadsheet update likely won't happen today, sorry again.

ok cool i do that then

Pass political phase

Watno · « **Reply #332 on:** December 20, 2012, 05:37:34 pm »

You can already do your actions already, no need to wait for spreadsheet update.

Ah, yes, I overlooked you already revealed the new cards.

I would really love having the automatic GMing of boardgaming-online with the table talk down here. No offense intended, but in boardgaming-online I can play out all my actions, examine the consequences on strength, corruption, happiness etc. before committing or resetting. Makes me three levels better. I could do this here too (and sometimes do

) but I'd waste someone else's time.

But the chat boards around the games in BGO are silent as a library.

ipofanes · « **Reply #334 on:** December 21, 2012, 04:08:50 am »

Ok then.

Take Constitutional Monarchy from card row
Increase population
Discover Alchemy
Play Ideal Building Site for additional Alchemy

This should steer me clear of corruption, though I have not worked out my new standings.

Tables · « **Reply #335 on:** December 21, 2012, 04:08:57 am »

Hm, yeah, I was considering doing things via BGO, but I would have doubted I'd get the necessary player count, because, well it's not as much fun when you say 'hey guys let's go play a game on this other site!' Most people wouldn't be so interested, basically.

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

cayvie produces 2-2 food, 6 resources, 3 culture and 3 science, drawing 2 military cards.
Card Row is refreshed (Bread and Circuses removed).

ipofanes, you won't get corruption for sure with that move, because it will cause an uprising.

What? But people, you'll miss out on the horse races (Ben Hur is a grandcousin of our supreme leader) and gladiator fights!

Ah, well.

Play Efficient Upgrade for Bronze --> Iron

Watno · « **Reply #339 on:** December 21, 2012, 09:08:53 am »

ipofanes produces 3-2 food, 4 resources (1 less to avoid corruption) and 3 science, drawing 2 military cards.

I still need your discards, I think.

Well, one reason I can participate in TtAI so readily is because of this format. Fiddling about with text and spreadsheets is more convenient for me in general.

Though, I did take a look at BGO last night. I haven't done anything with it yet other than start a solitary game, but it looks pretty neat.

Watno · « **Reply #341 on:** December 21, 2012, 12:26:37 pm »

New cards are patriotism and journalism, with wave of nationalism being removed.
I'll pm you your military draws, ipofanes.

Btw, I'd be in for a bgo game once I'm back home next year.

Galzria · « **Reply #342 on:** December 21, 2012, 12:29:10 pm »

I would be down to try it as well. Kuildeous, how did you launch a solitary-game? It only goes down to 2-player.

Not sure how it's format works, but I'm sure I can figure it out with a little work.

I do enjoy the format that we have going here though very much.

Watno · « **Reply #343 on:** December 21, 2012, 12:52:37 pm »

Spreadsheet up to date now.

Tables · « **Reply #344 on:** December 21, 2012, 01:04:47 pm »

...How did I end up with so many resources!? Hmm...

No Political action. Discarding two age II cards

Take Republic
Take Selective Breeding
Play Knights
Take Work of Art
Build Knights
Build Knights

4 food, 13 resources (2 lost to corruption), 5 science.

Watno · « **Reply #345 on:** December 21, 2012, 01:26:19 pm »

Move will be processed later, but is valid.
New cards are republic, riflemen, efficient upgrade and revolutionary idea (AGE II versions), with journalism removed.
military draw will be pmed.

Jorbles · « **Reply #346 on:** December 23, 2012, 02:30:16 pm »

Alright, just let me work out what the board looks like and I'll take my turn.

Jorbles · « **Reply #347 on:** December 23, 2012, 02:37:40 pm »

Political Action
I seed an Age II event/territory.

Watno · « **Reply #348 on:** December 23, 2012, 02:47:09 pm »

Jorbles scores 2 culture.
Scientific breakthrough comes up. Each civilization scores culture equal to its science rating.
Not sure wether I'll get to update the spreadsheet before Christmas.

Jorbles · « **Reply #349 on:** December 23, 2012, 04:58:36 pm »

Okey dokey.

Political Actions:
Increase Population (2 food, 1 resource)
Play James Cook
Play Alchemy
Upgrade Philosophy to Alchemy (3 resources)
Take Justice System

Military Actions:
Build Warrior (2 resources)
Take Cards.

This should leave me with the following after maintenance and production:
Food: 1
Resources: 3
Science: 3
Culture: 16 + 2 + 4 = 22
Strength: 12

This look okay to everyone?
