I didn't know you had an artifact.  That changes things.

Jorbles, we need to form a coalition.

Jorbles, we need to form a coalition.

I don't really see how it would work without PvP, but I am down in spirit.

[popsofctown]

I think we are allowed to conquer cities jointly even without pvp.  You're kinda geographically far though.

[Jorbles]

Oh that's a good point. Okay yes, if we get to jointly conquer a city I am interested.

[popsofctown]

i'm trying to read the city assault rules but the rulebook doesn't load all the pages for some reason

[popsofctown]

Qvist, I think you gave me Fame+2 but not Reputation+2 for my last turn.

[popsofctown]

If Jorbles and I conquer a city, can we exclude theorel and Watno, boys' club treehouse style?

[theorel]

I'm not sure how you mean...
when conquering a city, you don't need to include us, even if we are adjacent.
Once conquered, we may go interact there, just like how you can interact at conquered mage towers.
You get a benefit when interacting at a city according to how many shields you have (+1 influence per shield I think?)  You get 1 shield per defender you defeat.

You also get bonus VP at the end for each conquered city (+7 for each city you are leader of (i.e. you have majority shields there, ties broken by whoever defeated first defender) +4 for any other city where you have a shield, and player with most VP from this gets a +5 bonus as well).

[theorel]

Are there any special rules in the open map about core tile placement?
There's a rule in the "wedge" set-up that core tiles can't be coastal...but I don't see anything in the open map.
Also, should we know anything about when core tiles are coming up?  or are they just like the countryside tiles on the back?

[popsofctown]

Ok.
Well if we conquer one of the cities that cost lots of influence to get special effects, we can maybe be the only ones to use it effectively since theorel and Watno won't have any shields.

That's right. Feel free to correct me. It's hard to keep track of everything.

[popsofctown]

Are villages the only thing that you can pillage?

Corollary question: does that have to do with rhyme?

Actually I didn't even remember the coast placement rule.
There are 11 Countryside tiles and 7 Core tiles. When the 11 Countryside tiles are gone, the Core tiles will be placed.
The 4 Countryside tiles currently forming the border are the 4 remaining ones.

Are villages the only thing that you can pillage?

Burning down a Monastery is the only thing that's similar to that.

[popsofctown]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city? 

[Jorbles]

Oh good, the one thing that's really hard to block.

Let my Golems eat 3 damage for. Take 2 wounds for the remaining 4 damage.

Play Rage, Rage, and Determination for 2 attack each (total: 6) killing the Werewolf.

Gain some amount of fame (I can't read the tile). Gain a level. Gain 2 rewards as determined by these dice rolls:

Rolled 2d6 : 3, 4, total 7

[Jorbles]

3 = Red Crystal
4 = Green Crystal

[Jorbles]

Oh and umm I forgot to finish this sentence, but my Golems are now wounded.

[theorel]

You get 5 fame.

[Qvist]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city?

Yes, there's a zero chance that the next 4 explorations will find a city. Then the chance is 4/7

[popsofctown]

Jorbles we're going to have to call the joint city thing off for now then.  I think I want to head south.  It might be wise of me to attack theorel's keep, but I'm not sure I want to.

[theorel]

Does that mean there is a zero chance that the next exploration finds a city?

(now that I've gotten an answer it's easier to find the rules)
Yes, we need to explore 4 more "countryside" tiles before we can get a chance of a city.
After that each exploration will be a core tile. There are 7 "Core" tiles, 4 with cities 3 without.

After that, I think we can't explore any more.

Also, in case anyone didn't notice: the game goes 3 days and 3 nights (or until all cities have been conquered).  So we are almost 1/3 of the way through the game time (of course, each round is longer than the previous as we get more cards, so we're really less than 1/3 of the way through)

All good stuff to know.

[Jorbles]

Do it!

[popsofctown]

The loss of reputation is annoying.  But, I guess I probably ought to do it
