I've given him a prod but I think Wozzy has fallen down a hole, so Naturegirl1999, Kashyyk, feel free to post your turns.



I see now that it says you lose control of it at end of turn, still seems mildly weird to me.
Sure, I guess it's weird because it feels like it's violating the rule which says you can only expand or conquer from your owned territory, and it's in contrast to other changes you make to the land which take effect instantly (like channelling so that you can irrigate). I may change it in future versions of the game.

I've been toying with the idea of running a version after this in which after choosing their season's actions, players choose which actions can occur the following season (it's a mechanic in several boardgames). The action they pick would give them a bonus to that action during the next season, and allow anyone to perform that action. So it'd look something like this:

Player A chooses harvest, allowing them to make +1 free pop next season.
Player B decides to raid, allowing them to ignore one fortification when raiding
Player C decides to expand, allowing them to ignore one defence level

So the next season rolls around, and the valid actions would be Harvest, Raid and Expand, with the players who picked each of these actions getting the bonus to them. (I'd make sure you couldn't harvest the same field during the season that it was grown.)

Mephansteras ran a game with a similar mechanic to that NQT, called Distant Colony. Perhaps looking at the games they ran might give you ideas.

Wha... I don't remember exactly what I was thinking at the time but I'm pretty sure I meant to say 141, I think I was in a rust to submit it at the end of one of my breaks.

This is 8 actions (increasing pop doesn't increase actions in same season), and perhaps more to the point, irrigation is an Improve action. Impossible for Summer!

Makes more sense.

Forage costs two actions, as does moving into a lake, so this is still 8 actions.

No problem. This game can be fiddly like that. I appreciate your quick response. Unfortunately, expanding into 74 isn't possible as you're not next to it yet. Would this be acceptable:

Year Five - Fall

As the trolls retreated into their lairs, the porcine heretics invaded their eastern citadel. The ents roamed south and the diametrically opposed factions of water and earth thought for supremacy over the scorched westerlands.

Spoiler: Year Five- Fall (click to show/hide)

Combat Report:
Mad Nomads vs The Leviathan Electorate: no change.

Principality vs Controll Freaks: Freaks -1 pop, Principality +1 pop from city stolen.

In Fall you can: Harvest, Expand, Raze, Raid, Dismantle, as well as doing certain heresy-specific actions. A reminder: the population gain you'll get from harvesting this turn won't give you extra actions until next season.

Turn order:
1. The Leviathan Electorate - NQT [pop. 2]
2. Controll Freaks - Wozzy [pop. 2]
3. Mad Nomads - SHAD0Wdump [pop. 6]
4. Ferngully - Naturegirl1999 [pop. 9]
5. Principality of Pork - Kashyyk [pop. 10]
