I guess it's time to end this.

The spreadsheet hasn't been updated since I declared my free build, but I think I am able to follow along just fine.

Use Favor Tile to advance Fire track. This gains me 2 Power, and I am tied with hyramgraff. I don't recall if this means we each get 4 points or 3 points or 2 points, but it does mean that we're tied for second, so I'm good with that. As I recall, I'm still first in the water track, so I will not bother advancing that one.

I can burn 1 power from Bowl II to convert a Bowl II to Bowl III, giving me a grand total of 2 power to burn (if I can burn more power, let me know, but I get the impression I cannot).

I'll then convert 2 power to 2 coins. I'll also convert 2 workers to 2 coins. Coins are the only resource at the end that contribute to VPs, right? Not that 4 coins gets me more than 3, but bragging rights or something.

Then I'm ready to pass. I don't suppose I could pick up that bonus tile with the coin on it, not that it'd help me, but I can at least shake my fist feebly at having only 5 coins.

I think I interpret everything correctly. Feel free to point out any errors.

Oh, right you didn't need to build a trading house for any reason (still stuck on the power instead of number for area thing).
So, I think you win by 2 points.

[Kuildeous]

Really? Woot! Cheaty witches!

I read a BGG post where someone lamented on using his Stronghold power too often and spreading himself thin. Considering you only get 8 Dwellings at a time, I can see why. So, let that be a lesson to future Witches. When I play in III or IV, I'll choose a different race, but Witches are definitely a fairly solid choice, especially if you can get three towns founded. And that's actually fairly easy to do with Witches.

Congratulations to Kuildeous and hyramgraff. That was a really close finish.
I hope you all enyjoyed the game despite the mistakes I made during the game, but since nearly all of you signed up for the next game, I'll assume you did.
Thx everyone for playing.

[Qvist]

Seems like a close finish. Nice.

[Kuildeous]

Thank you for hosting, Watno.

I am pretty tempted to pick this game up for myself. I need to see if it is the type of game that my friends will play as well. This game is "simple" but has some pretty in-depth strategy, which I love. Those types of games don't necessarily see a lot of table time in my group, sadly.

[theorel]

I'm not sure the final scores are correct.  (end-game scoring looks right though)
At the least I'm 100% certain my score is incorrect.  It'd be nice to have a pre-final score snapshot (for future reference)...I think hyramgraff and Dsell should have tied.

My score should be 109.
I had 91 points (of this I am certain, because I passed well before game end and so it didn't change for a good long while), I got 6 from area scoring and 12 from cults=>109

As of the last update that I had seen before final scoring hyramgraff had 82 points.  He got 8 for passing taking him to 90.
+18+3=>111(that's right)

At the same time Kuildeous had 89 points (because I know he had 2 less than me).  he gained 6 for area + 15 for cults + 1 for coins for 22 total which should be 111 as well.

Was the score incorrect before that point, or did I miss something somewhere?  I really had nothing better to do after passing than stare at scores...so I'm certain those are the numbers that were there.  I'm guessing maybe 2 of my cult points got switched to Kuildeous?

[theorel]

Also a note from my previous comment: I just knew Kuildeous had beaten me by 2 points, I didn't realize at that time that he was tying hyramgraff.  I had never refigured hyramgraff's score after realizing my error on the area scoring...somehow I didn't think it would make such a huge difference, though in hindsight it's obvious.

[Dsell]

I'm not sure the final scores are correct.  (end-game scoring looks right though)
At the least I'm 100% certain my score is incorrect.  It'd be nice to have a pre-final score snapshot (for future reference)...I think hyramgraff and Dsell should have tied.

Kuildeous, I'm guessing? I mean, I wish.

This was a lot of fun! I look forward to the next game, especially knowing what I'm doing the whole time.

Congrats Kuildeous (and possibly hyramgraff too)!

[Watno]

Yeah, I seem to indeed have given 2 of theorel's points to Kuildeous. Lucky someone questions what I do.

Scores before final Scoring where:
hyramgraff 90
Dsell 54
theorel 91
galzria 59
Kuildeous 89

Sorry Kuildeous, you'll have to share your win. Congratulations to hyramgraff.

[theorel]

only because I thought I was going to win for a bit there...
congrats to the winners!
thanks to watno for hosting!
looking forward to the next one.

[Kuildeous]

Sorry Kuildeous, you'll have to share your win. Congratulations to hyramgraff.

Never! I demand we break the tie with Thunderdome!

Wait, that's a bad plan against giants. Okay, shared win it is.

I could have had you if only we were playing by Australian rules and I had unlimited Dwellings in my supply.
