Speciation

Oh, I guess I have to specify a ressource type, right? If I do, I take "Sun"

yes, you do. Sun it is.

Liopoil,
Just want to say that I love love love all the information on the front page -- it's very helpful. Thanks!

I take the grub speciation.

One thing I haven't figured out. Other than the initiative action, does the turn order change at all during the game? It looks like it should from the arrows on the board, but if it's in the rules I've missed it.

You only change turn order with Initiative. I don't even know what those arrows are really trying to explain, unless it's "move to the top, everyone else moves down" in which case it's kind of weird.

They eliminated them from the 3rd edition board for that very reason.

I think the arrows just indicating turn order. So Insects, then (following arrow) Arachnids, then Amphibians, etc...then Mammals, then back to Insects again.
It has nothing to do with the initiative action, just showing you how turns flow.

turn order only changes via initiative. However, turn order only matters when we are placing AP. When we take off AP it is done from top to bottom left to right.

Dominance

Qvist · « **Reply #60 on:** May 17, 2013, 03:28:06 am »

Is Dominance so important that early or why is everyone choosing that?

theorel · « **Reply #61 on:** May 17, 2013, 06:58:11 am »

The dominance cards can be pretty game-changing. (omnivore gives an extra action pawn, for instance).
And the main way to have domination effect a region where you have dominance (and hence get a card) is to take a domination action yourself.

I'm not sure how powerful this particular spread is on average, but there are at least a few useful cards there.

Meat speciation for me.

Btw, I forgot to answer this before: I played this once several years ago, and I don't even remember if we finished.

liopoil · « **Reply #63 on:** May 17, 2013, 08:06:09 am »

Dominance gets better as the game goes on. right now the omnivore card is far and away the best, the others are somewhat mediocre. I wouldn't have been surprised if only the first action got taken, because everyone else would know that hyramgraff is gonna get the omnivore.

updated. Qvist's turn.

Oh, 3 APs? Somehhow I thought it was only 2. Ouch.

Cool! So Theorel can move up and place his AP again now, and we're ready to start the first execution phase?

Watno · « **Reply #73 on:** May 21, 2013, 04:45:10 pm »

theorel moving his pawn is part of the execution phase.

Also:

(I don't know why)

liopoil · « **Reply #74 on:** May 21, 2013, 08:26:57 pm »

all updated. It is indeed the execution phase. theorel to place AP.
