Let them spend extra Resources to 'strengthen' the attempt against others.

Forum timestamp with sent orders decides.

Keep preventing the colonization until the Players agree who colonizes the place.

[Knightwing64]

Also, I sent my action before you accepted the offered treaty. And Haspen explicitly states that actions cannot be changed once sent. Not trying to be rude or anything.

⫷Ͷbyn⫸

Requesting that the three stooges stop fighting over literally 5 territories and do something to limit the leading civ. Such as not giving them even more trading income which they can use to colonize the whole continent?

Another Growth in #51.

This is a good hybrid of all strategy games I made so far. There's variety of stuff to do, but nothing too complex that its a chore to run.

Here's the list of all changes for the next game.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG (click to show/hide)

===TERRAINS===

Wasteland: Ruined, lifeless plain. Improving Resources and Constructing Features here costs 5 Resources more than usual. Colonization requires 10 Resources more. (Special)

===FEATURES===

Stay tuned!

L, it might be because of their combination of traits, but you might want to make the game more difficult. The trait that gives extra provinces is incredibly underpriced as with anything other then the worst luck, it gives the user a insane amount of resources and puts them way above the competition, along with the ability to easily conquer new lands.


That, combined with the extra dimensional trait practically guarantees a heroic win. At the very least, I would recommend that they be too expensive to purchase together in the interest of fairness.

[Kashyyk]

Ooof, yeah I was worried about the Artifact win, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I was quite pleased with how close I got to the Economic win though.

It feels like the Artifact placement was rather fortunate for ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ as well, I think there were only two in the Southern Hemisphere iirc.

That's why T-D now gives Farsight for free rather than insta-knowledge, and there's now 6 out of 9 artifacts (66.6%) rather than 4 out of 7 artifacts (57.1%) requirement for Heroic Win.

ASCENDANT now gives 10-5-5 provinces instead of 15-5-5.

All up there in Changelog

Yeah, that and the fact nobody appeared in topleft; just one player there would seriously slash Egan's chances to grab the Sword and the Horn (and probably claim the Trowel before you while they're at it)

[Kashyyk]

If I'd decided to roleplay less and attack ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ a few turns ago, I'm not sure how much effect that would have had. I could've chased a retreating faction across the map as they still collected the Artifacts. Perhaps a way to take the Artifacts aside from total annihilation is needed?

Ooh. What if you require a Temple per artifact to keep the safe? If you lose a territory and have more Artifacts than Temples, one is captured?

[Haspen]

I will consider it for next game maybe.

I have updated the rules, so Game 2 is officially in preparation stage! Get your Race sheets done if you wanna play.

Consider spreading out your starting locations a little bit more this time
