Hi, Does any of you already play android app that seems to be a clone of TTA? It's name is civilization race of nation. It cost $5 so not sure if it's worth it?

Thanks

So I just happened to run across this app when browsing. Given that CGE already has a TTA app in the pipeline, likely for summer, I'd say you shouldn't expect multiplayer on that clone to last long. I'm surprised CGE hasn't already sent C&D at this point.

So I would start another f.DS game of TtA...

...except my computer doesn't like the "Create New Game" page and tries to download it. Anyone else up for playing another game and creating it?

Yay!

Playing TTA on BGA has been an underwhelming experience, but at least public games are common there...

Requests to bgo are now redirected top the webhost's default page. This doesn't look good.

It's back up now.

I just found myself wondering what would happen if two players played a 4P game in which each player controlled two boards. Something tells me it sounds more fun in theory than the sheer tough-to-manage chaos that would ensue in practice, and I kind of also wonder what the most balanced arrangement of boards would be.

I have a rules question that I'm only finding ambiguous answers to on the internet.

I have a promise of military protection pact where I'm protecting another player. I have 15 strength, he has 7+5=12 strength.

If I do an aggression vs. him, is it 15 v. 12, or 15 v. 7? Anyone know?

ipofanes · « **Reply #764 on:** August 17, 2015, 05:16:52 am »

Haven't found a game on BGO to support my claim but I am sure B loses 5 strength the instant he is attacked. The wording is the same "if" as the "if" in Open Borders Agreement.

15 vs 7 is my understanding, corroborated by how it works on BGO. He loses the strength when you declare the aggression or war, which happens well before it's resolved.

So, there's a new edition of Through the Ages out, for those who haven't seen yet - Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilisation, which isn't just a small update, hence being it's own new entry on BGG. It fixes/changes many mechanics from the old editions - although the overall feel and rules are the same, many details are refined and rebalanced. Here's a list detailing most or perhaps all of the changes.

Would anyone be interested in a PBF with the new rules?

Me me me me!!!

Edit: The major problem is that we don't know the changes in the yellow cards, which are aparently extensive.

I've seen a decent number of them online...

I played half a game on Friday (sadly we didn't have time to play to the end), and the changes all seem very well thought out.

I wonder if this is going to be on BGO soon. The new edition was playtested there as far as I know, so there should already be an implementation.

I haven't been active in the forum games in a long while, but I'd be willing to come out of retirement for this.

I played a full game in person yesterday and was pretty happy with the changes generally. The military game has been depowered a bit and simplified a LOT, and the corruption/consumption has been much simplified too. The balance changes are similarly generally well-thought-out after a long period of essentially beta testing at least some of them on BGO.

Overall I was pleased with the changes. BUt I still lost, it's been FAR too long since I played.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #774 on:** October 19, 2015, 09:55:01 am »

Now I'm sad that someday I'll have to buy the new version. But my current version isn't even being used right now. I'm sure the new version will likely not see much use. After all, it takes quite a bit of commitment to get into a TtA game.

I mean, I could do it to support the designer, but I could also buy other games of his.
