Always willing to hand you another beating.

Beatings are good for morale.

It appears people have this crazy idea that I'm an easy target for wars & aggressions

[Tables]

This'll be the game where you get to 60 strength in age II then proceed to war/aggression me every turn, won't it?

I honestly thought that's what was going to happen in f.DS41. Joe built up military early and was ahead (in strength and culture) for most of the game. Somehow I got an opportunity to raid his 2x Movies early in age three though, and that was pretty much the end of it.

Raid II is the nastiest Aggression in the whole game. Quite a bit more powerful than Raid III in usual circumstances.

Was slightly disappointed to be doing well in military for so long, and then let it slip, raiding 2 movies was basically the end of my chances

On a random,, unconnected note, is it possible to produce less than 0 culture a turn? If you are producing 0 culture, and then play a pact where you produce 1 less culture per turn, do you now produce 0 or -1 culture?

[Tables]

0 is the lower limit, 30 is the upper limit. Same for science. Max science held is 40, while Culture is unlimited. Strength is 0-60.

[ipofanes]

0 is the lower limit, 30 is the upper limit.

For what?

[Thisisnotasmile]

0 is the lower limit, 30 is the upper limit.

For what?

Culture production per turn. (Science too)

On an unrelated note, Agricola has knocked TTA out of the #2 spot on BGG. Sad times.

Ah, but there is only one pact that lets you bleed culture (Loss of Sovereignity) with the upside for the bleeding nation that it cannot be attacked. If you feel you have to pull a Gandhi and have a culture production of less than 2, then quitting would be the way to go.

This is fairly normal. They jump around each other quite often.

Twilight Struggle.

#45 is up.

[ipofanes]

Could someone of the participants rename the game in order to get consistent with the others? Facilitates searching.

Thanks.

Now that exams are done, time to play somet TtA.

Have games 47 and 46. A 4 player Global and a 3 player Base.

How would you handle Biskupin when the total strength is so high that it is capped at 60? bg-o.com deducts two strength points from the capped value down to 58, even if your strength constituents add up to, say, 67. I find this a bit harsh as you could easily deduct the 2 points Biskupin provides from the 67 total and then cap.

[Tables]

Mmm... that doesn't sound right to me. Biskupin says the strength bonus doesn't apply during aggressions, not -2 strength during aggressions. If you have 62+ strength, then during aggressions you should have 60 strength, and be capped.

This is exactly what I thought.. also, F.DS 48 up

This should go into a bug report. Does anyone have write access to the bg-o forum? I don't feel like extending the number of passwords I have to handle.

[Tables]

I do, can someone give me a link to a game where it lowered your strength to 58?

[ipofanes]

Thanks. http://boardgaming-online.com/index.php?cnt=52&pl=201832&nat=1 Aggression played at 2013-06-20 11:06:00

It was my opponent actually who got hosed, and I was too inattentive to notice that he had, in fact, >60 strength, otherwise I would have GGG'd and sac to match up at 60.

He still won :-P

[ipofanes]

Thanks for reporting, and thanks for mentioning me as a "friend" and not "victim".

That SirDusk gentleman is quite stubborn, I almost feel like setting up an account on this ad-ridden forum myself.

What is SirDusk saying? Could someone post Cliff's Notes about that here?
