Since it's my turn, that should be fine.

Oh, man.

I got in, after being away for several days, made my move and promptly PMed Remus, instead of you. :oops:

Sorry about that Issy!

by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:31 am

No worries.

Oops. I looked at the board but not the posts after it. Crap. Since I did this before I know we can not retrieve the card and it is my screw up so.....
Play Glean in the Empire I suppose.

Seriously, why the hell are you ignoring your dial conditions?

I only ask because you continue to fuck mine and do nothing to advance your own cause.

by **Isgrimnur** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 1:33 pm

I have two power left. Just because I don't meet the conditions now doesn't mean that I won't later.

Which doesn't answer why you haven't attempted towards your own dial advancements at all to this point and continue to make two of the three possible locations for my dial advancements an unnecessary battle ground. You are very close to turning this into a three player game by removing both of us from contention.

by **Isgrimnur** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 2:55 pm

It's the first time I've played the game. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

by **Remus West** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 2:57 pm

Play Convocation 1 into Kislev
Moving all three units from Troll Country into Kislev.

You leave me no choice but to fight for the space I can get that will give me a dial advancement.

Power 5/6

I hadn't attributed anything to it. I was questioning why you were doing it and making sure you were aware of it.

by **Jow** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 3:12 pm

Remus: You're down to 4 power - you played a cultist last go-round.

I'd say you are doing just fine with your Bloodletter upgrade giving you points for killing things with them.

by **El Guapo** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:25 pm

[Side note: just to be clear, Khorne will get 2 points for each figure killed in Estalia, but not 2 points PER BLOODLETTER that you have there, but 2 points per figure total.]

by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:29 pm

Kislev is of more value to me than Troll Country, honestly. I promise, I'll actually start playing to what I think are my interests in the future, Remus. Kislev is Populous, and that's of value to me.

Summon Warrior to Kislev

1 power remaining

If I read it correctly he gets two points per figure he kills in that location. The number of Bloodletters there only matters in respect to being greater than zero. If he gets bad dice he could kill nothing and thus gain nothing (although that would be rather shocking). As I look at it he woould currently max out at 7 VP if he killed all the rats.

Trouble is that you forced my hand into Kislev already so I'm going to have to fight you there. I won't be able to get a dial advancement anywhere else this round.

by **Remus West** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:37 pm

Cultist into Kislev

power = 3/6

by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:41 pm

That's fine and expected. My apologies for my poor play. There's a reason that I wanted to play Virulent Outbreak in Troll Country last turn, but forgot the card limit rules.

Not necessarily poor, just not currently working towards your own character's goals. I'm going to go ahead and assume you think I am so dangerous that I needed to be slowed down and thus you went after my areas with that in mind.
:horse:

by **Jow** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:48 pm

Just be aware, there's nothing saying you two can't coexist in Kislev and meet your respective dial goals without huge warrior buildup. Beating your heads against each other is only gonna make it easier for the other gods to pass you up. Talk it up, fellas.

by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:10 pm

By my understanding, I'll easily dominate TC, which will net me corruption in Norsca and Kislev (and The Empire). If I can add another through Cultist presence (guess I need to summon another one there next turn), I would get two in Kislev during the Corruption Phase, netting me a DAC. And if I dominate Kislev (which isn't likely, opposed by Remus), I would get another from Festering Fever.

Is that understanding correct?

by **Jow** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:23 pm

Izzie: Yep to all the above. Yer right, Kislev isn't happening as he's got you outnumbered there and has more power remaining.

by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:39 pm

Remus, do me a favor and leave me a cultist in Kislev so I can get a DAC, at least, and I'll take a look at other options next turn.
