Year Four - Winter

Throughout the autumn months, the heretics spread out across the now much-harrowed ground, little space left on each of their corners of the land. There was some harvesting, but with so many fields lying in ruin, this was not the land of plenty that was promised.

Spoiler: Year 4 - Winter (click to show/hide)

In Winter you can: Conquer, Improve, Raze, Raid, Dismantle as well as doing certain heresy-specific actions.

Turn order:
1. The Leviathan Electorate - NQT [pop. 2]
2. Controll Freaks - Wozzy [pop. 3]
3. Ferngully - Naturegirl1999 [pop. 7]
4. Mad Nomads - SHAD0Wdump [pop. 7]
5. Principality of Pork - Kashyyk [pop. 10]

I think the fact that the trolls being able to make mountains means an auto-win for them if they survive early. Any other land type can be changed one way or another, even the oceans. But once a mountain is made, there is no way to change it again. They stay mountains.

Otherwise, been very enjoyable spectating this. Very different situations from the East and the West sides with East being tactically managed by the trolls and the West a uhhh… very busy place! :P

I can use marshland to turn mountains into lakes, but it's unlikely as the mountain already needs to be covered in rivers. In the last version there was a power to level mountains, but when revising I didn't have a good spot to put it in.

Also I made Arid's Shore Up too cheap: like Deluge it should have been once per season.

Shaker Trolls are definitely a very good combination. I'd misunderstood the stonestep ability, and that single mistake cost me three fields. I still haven't recovered from that.

It's a good thing the Trolls only have three population, because I don't think I'd be coping as well as I am. My sheer volume of actions is the only thing levelling out a base mountain defence of 1 vs 3.

Principality of Pork (10)
Deforest 53 (-1)
Build City 53 (-1)
Industrious Drain 80 (0)
Build City 80 (-1)
Conquer 104 (-6) [1 base + 2 Mountain + 1 Troll + 1 Fort + 1 River]
Tower 104 (-1)

I actually think Ferngully is going to win. Trolls are losing land pretty evenly as they gain it now. And they have a load of forest.

Naturegirl: taking Troll mountains costs 4 actions, not 3. It would normally be 3 (1+2mountain) but they get an extra defence bonus as trolls:

12 - Trolls:  Mountain tiles are +1 defence when occupied and -1 defence when conquering and expanding.

Mountain
Colour: Grey
Defence: 2

No, to be clearer: trolls get +1 defense when they occupy a mountain and someone else tries to conquer them. The -1 defense is enjoyed by them when they conquer or expand to a mountain.

Update expected within few hours.

You had 6 pop at the start of your turn due to my attack, which means 6 actions. So the last 99 attack won't happen. See OP:

If their population is decreased earlier on the season, they will have less actions, but this won't reset the turn order until the end of the season.

E.g. The Purple Nation has five population, the Red Civilisation has four population, and the Yellow Domain has three population: In winter Yellow goes first and conquers two Purple territories. They both lose two population. Even though Purple now only has three population (and only thus only three actions), they will still act after the Red, as the turn order is set at the start of the season.

Ferngully vs Controll Freaks in 8: both at min pop.

Spoiler: Year 4 - Spring (click to show/hide)

In Spring you can: Grow, Improve, Raze, Raid, Dismantle, as well as doing a heresy-specific action.

Turn order:
1. The Leviathan Electorate - NQT [pop. 2]
2. Controll Freaks - Wozzy [pop. 3]
