You can't do that, I'm afraid. Declaring a revolution costs *All* of your civil actions for the turn - it must be the first and only CA you take (page 8, right hand side, if you're interested)

You can still take Military actions, including the extra one you'd get from it.

Yes, but Monarchy grants me 1 more than I had, which IS usable this turn.

As in, it uses all CA's that I had, as my very first action. Then it replaces Despotism, and since it has 5 CA's to Despotism's 4, the new CA is available.

I'm afraid Revolution doesn't work like that. It is literally the only civil action you can take on the turn. Peaceful change can increase your CA for the turn, but Revolution always leaves you with 0 CA (except with Robespierre, who leaves you with 0 MA but that's an Age II leader).

Like I say, check page 8 of the rulebook.

"To declare a revolution:
...
Take red and White tokens from the box according to [your new totals].
[Then] place all your white tokens next to your Government card to show they have all been used this turn..."

Well, ok then. I don't need the Lab desperately, so that's fine.

I keep Code of Laws, correct?

Tables · « **Reply #155 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:03:00 pm »

Indeed. I assume you're just declaring a revolution then? I should probably point out your corruption is going to be pretty high (4 resources).

Corruption is just a loss of unspent resources anyway, correct? Yeah, spending them would be good, but I'm fine dropping them here. It is what it is.

Very well. Galzria's people rise up and declare someone king.

Galzria scores 1 culture, 1 science, and produces 2 (3-1 consumption) food and loses 1 resource (3-4 corruption). He then draws 3 military cards.

Play Age I event as per PM

Tables · « **Reply #161 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:45:16 pm »

Oh boy this is where things get fun.

Territory: Developed Territory (Age I)
Permanent: +1 blue & +1 yellow. One time: 3 science

I'll recap the territory rules in the next post

Tables · « **Reply #162 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:51:16 pm »

Territory: Everyone, starting with the current player, may publicly bid an amount, or pass. The first person to bid bids at least one, everyone else must exceed the previous bid or pass. Bidding circles around until all but one player passes. The person who won must muster up the amount they bid in strength, which does not count their usual strength but only bonuses for colonization and sacrificed units (the winner MUST sacrifice at least one unit).

Right now nobody has any (public) colonization bonuses. Some people may have bonus cards - note they're only strength +1 for colonization, not +2 (as for defense).

You don't have to specify how you are paying for your bid, but you cannot bid an amount you don't have (and I'm here to call you out if you try).

Note that if you sacrifice the army on your tactics card, the tactics card bonus does apply.

Watno · « **Reply #163 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:52:56 pm »

I bid 3

Don't forget to give my culture for playing an event in this spectacle.

Watno · « **Reply #164 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:54:32 pm »

Sry, was a bit confused. My bid is 3, not 4 as it said for a second.

Tables · « **Reply #165 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:04:19 pm »

Qvist to bid at least 4 or pass

Also I've updated the overview sheet a little. If people think this is worse, let me know, but hopefully this adds useful information to the sheet.

Qvist · « **Reply #166 on:** December 13, 2012, 04:20:00 am »

Ok, let me think loud, just to be sure that I understood that right.
Not taking any other bonuses like cards into account, I can only exceed that if I sacrifice all my units for 7 strength because if I let one Warrior live I only get to 3 strength. If this is right, I'll pass.

Watno · « **Reply #167 on:** December 13, 2012, 05:24:21 am »

You're right

There is one other exception to my knowledge, and this is Issaac Newton who gives you one CA back after Revolution.

See discussion on Boardgamegeek here.

(Screw it, I messed the quote up, gonna remove it

)

Yeah, he's very carefully worded to work like that, essentially you do everything for the Revolution (putting your civil tokens aside etc.), then hey, Newton gives you one CA!

Kuildeous: Please muster up 5 strength of sacrfices/bonuses

Watno · « **Reply #174 on:** December 13, 2012, 01:35:45 pm »

As far as I can see, there's only one way for Kuildeous to get to five strength:
3 warriors wouldnt be enough, even with a bonus card, same for a single knight.
So he needs to sacrifice a Knight and a Warrior, which will be 5 with MedArmy. I don't think he wants to overpay.
