Toony, I doublechecked and my disable should have worn off by now. It sounds like someone else has messed with you.

Web, Egan died and came back and my shot was expended, so what did you actually do?

Scout Q 13 Q 12 Q 11

Q13 and Q12 aren't actually conencted unless you have a boat.

These aren't connected?

My mistake, I'd read it on the map as R12. All good.

Scout O14 O15 N15 (If that's allowed, if not just O14 and N15?

Yeah, I guess I don't mind indirect routes. Most scouts go home after the first tile anyway.

No action just yet though.

Fair warning: I might roll on the turn any time after ~36 hours.

Lost in the forest.

My Marketplace lets me start with one extra Gold, right?

Well, as of Turn 1 yes, you get 1 gold at the start of your turn.

Lords

Six Lords are granted castles along the marches. These Hedge Lords are entrusted with protecting the border and expanding the domain of King Alkabar.

Once a Thornish enemy, Aywen Ayes defected to King Alkabar's cause and was able to keep her castle, The Oak and Ash, and be made Marchioness. She knows of the nearest Thornish fort: two Thornish holdouts hold a fort at 8/8 strength in P11.


Countess Andice Glorinisits, of high noble birth, has been granted a castle on the remote southern island, Point Swearing.


Seasoned Naval Captain, Fritz Ferdinand von Bockhoven has been granted a fine castle in the north, Bockelstein.


The King's own builder, the Marquess Gerald Wright, has raised up the Castle Wright.


Prince Mackial FitzHarbort, a royal bastard who was an inconvenience to the court, has been sent away to the tower of Shandston's Folly.


Finally, the unsettling Ambrosio Vulk has settled in Castle Mysterious.


TURN 1

The marcher lords look westward at the wild country beyond...

Resource increases happen at the start of your turn. From here, it's your responsibility to keep accurate records on your sheet, so update them accordingly.

Library Research

- Countess Andice Gloronisits learns that in R4 is the Shield of Earth (the army wielding this is considered to have +1 defence at the start of every combat, as if they were siege defenders)

- Prince Mackial FitzHarbort learns that in C8 is the Crimson Tower (Keep/Tower/Bloodforge) Defence 17/17,  - Dai the Bloodsinger has a Bloodforge in which 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all).

So main question is if lands being connected by the sea counts in general, or just for my island to the nearest coast.

Skipping ahead across water to get to prime locations is maybe worth having to jump through some hoops in the late game to join things up with a castle to get more points. There can be artefacts or sites which will give additional victory points, so it might not be the end of the world if you're spread out.
