Watno scares me.

Watno · « **Reply #277 on:** December 16, 2012, 06:18:06 pm »

Why? I'm your protector.

Galzria · « **Reply #278 on:** December 16, 2012, 06:19:30 pm »

Because you can do a lot, and you make a lot.

I mean, you did a 12 Science peaceful Government change... and came out with 12 Science still! Cripes!

That was right after he stole 5 science, to be fair.

What are you talking about? I've been Watno's bitch all game.

Fortunately, I've been drinking milk.

Qvist · « **Reply #286 on:** December 17, 2012, 10:21:42 am »

That's a really tough decision. Before I know what to choose, can somebody please answer me this: Can I upgrade e.g. a Swordsmen to a Knight for 1CA and 0 Ressources? I can't find anything in the rules about that.

Tables · « **Reply #287 on:** December 17, 2012, 10:34:26 am »

You cannot. Firstly, it would be a military action, not a civil action, and secondly, It falls under the category of 'things you cannot do because the rules don't say you can'. Upgrading lets you improve something along the same technology line. Cavalry and Infantry are different tech lines.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #288 on:** December 17, 2012, 10:42:50 am »

Also, if I read the unofficial FAQ correctly, if it's your turn and you win this colonization, then you would still have to discard military cards at the end of the political action. I imagine that it wouldn't change your mind either way, but I thought it's something worth bringing up. I guess it makes sense since discarding is done at the very end of a political action.

Yeah, this is indeed the case. It's worth noting also the age A development of politics explicitly tells you not to discard.

Qvist · « **Reply #290 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:00:00 pm »

Sorry, just that I get this right. I would have to destroy a unit and build a new one instead. So this wouldn't cost me 1CA and 0 Ressources, but 2CA and 3 Ressources instead, right?

Watno · « **Reply #291 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:08:06 pm »

2 Military actions, not civil ones. 3 resources are right though.
Units sacrificed go back to the yellow bank, not the unused worker pool, in case that wasn't quite clear.

Tables · « **Reply #292 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:23:59 pm »

Bear in mind any units sacrificed to build your colony won't cost any actions, but the tokens return to your population bank.

Of course Military Actions. That's what I meant, sorry. But they go in the yellow bank, no, only if use them now for Colonization, right?

Watno · « **Reply #294 on:** December 17, 2012, 01:27:13 pm »

Yes, if you sacrifize them for colonization, they go to the yellow bank, if you disband them they go to the unused workers pool.

Qvist · « **Reply #295 on:** December 17, 2012, 01:35:23 pm »

I think I'll have to pass

I really like to bid more, but the problem is that I produce no food currently. So it would take a while until I could create another unit.

Yeah, 8 is a pretty hefty bid.

Of course, it helps that Watno also has a +3 to colonization bids, so he can be a bit more free with his bidding than others.

Galzria · « **Reply #297 on:** December 17, 2012, 02:42:52 pm »

I'll pass as well

Topping it world leave me very little.

Watno · « **Reply #299 on:** December 17, 2012, 02:45:00 pm »
