That's getting kind of interesting now. Lots of people are telling me Architecture doesn't apply, but the best arguments people are coming up with are "" and "Pretend the card says printed cost".

F.DS Game 34 online now.

[Tables]

F.DS 34 has already finished a few days ago, actually.

well, the next F.DS 34 is up (apologies for the naming confusion).

[ipofanes]

You can rename the game.

Also, before picking a name you can search for the substring "f.DS" in all games in progress or finished games.

[Joseph2302]

You can rename the game.

I have now done that.

I did check this before naming it, but still managed to stupidly give my game the wrong name!!

[Jack Rudd]

I've gone for the Michelangelotron in f.DS #32. It remains to be seen whether it will work.

[Kirian]

So this happened:  By sacrificing my entire army, I just scored 80 points in a War over Culture. (TTA V in the forum games).

[Tables]

I have to say, it's the highest I've seen (in a legitimate game at least). Holy War can be a lot funnier, though. Making an opponent disband everything is fun.

Joe having Holy War and 2x War over Culture declared on him at the same time was the greatest TTA moment I have experienced yet. http://www.boardgaming-online.com/index.php?cnt=202&pl=180027

That wasn't so fun, although I guess I had it coming, as I built no military

The best thing about it was in my head I was cursing Galz for declaring war on Joe the turn before I was planning to do so. For some reason I thought each person could only be the target of 1 war at any time. I selected the option on my political phase expecting an error message telling me I can't declare war on Joe while he is already at war but it worked. I frantically checked the rule book because I thought it had just let me do something horrendously ilegal but it turns out it's just one of the "nice" variants listed at the end of the rules that for some reason I thought was the main rule.

Then Tables declared war. I wish I'd taken a screenshot of Joe's page header at that point.

[Tables]

I declared war not because I thought I'd get a lot of culture, but just because it was funny .

[Kirian]

I declared war not because I thought I'd get a lot of culture, but just because it was funny .

Oh, now that's just plain mean.

[Galzria]

No... No, it was just awesome.

[Kirian]

I have to say, though... I think both Franklin and the Catedral may have been overpowered.  Franklin (Age II leader) gave me on average +6 Sci per turn for 8 turns, with everyone else getting about 1 Sci per turn from him.  That's pretty huge.

The Cathedral (Age II wonder), for 13 Resources, turned each of my Age A temples into an Age I theater+lab, at a cost of 1 Resource each.  I don't think it's quite as OP as Franklin, though.  Franklin + Impact of Science, or Progress, *or* Technology...

[Kuildeous]

Ah, the fun of fan-made cards. I don't remember if I originally had +2 Sci with Franklin or not. It's seen some modification, but I don't remember if it to add teeth or take some away.

Tables told me about how I could have possibly gotten 45+ culture with Credit Cards. I honestly didn't bother to calculate it, but I was suffering 4 Corruption, so I apparently could have made off like a bandit. I said that if the wonder could get 45+ culture, it's probably best that I didn't exploit it. That was before the 80-culture war.

May be interesting to tweak our creations and run another game with them. I almost wish that TtA was modular where you could use different wonders and leaders. I mean, we kind of have that now with boardgaming-online.com. Just choose the ruleset you wish to use. But mixing and matching could be fun (and probably unbalancing as hell).

[Twistedarcher]

Are there any other new players interested in learning how to play who want to make a new game?

[Thisisnotasmile]

Are you after a no agression/war game or are you willing to jump straight in? I'm not new (although I have only been playing for a few months) but would play if you wanted me to.

[Twistedarcher]

I've played only the learning game in person. I'd be willing to play either the advanced game or the full game

[Tables]

Unfortunately, BGO doesn't offer advanced game, but it does offer the no wars & aggressions variant, which can be good for learning the game (and it's still fun and challenging)

[Thisisnotasmile]

So like... This happened:



I was only able to use 6 CAs on my final turn and 7 on my penultimate turn, but it happened.

Theoretically one could jot down the culture at end of Age II, then keep passing and add the bonuses of the next n+2 impacts that come up.

Practically one may just keep on playing.

Yeah, that's just a bit crazy.
