[WaterMonkey314]

I have to post my turn before you can, Crovius, which I will do once I figure out where everyone's moved things.

[WaterMonkey314]

Turn: Commonwealth of Escotia

1. Calculate Income from Cities
82 Schumuckers from Turn 0 + 100 income = 182 Schmuckers
2. Build and Upgrade Cities
no action
3. Create New Units
Pop 4 infantry, 1 flyer at Auria
Pop 2 cavalry, 1 infantry at Argenta
Pop 2 infantry at Feria
4. Pay Upkeep on Units (if you can’t afford upkeep, remove units until you can)
15 x infantry @ 3 = 45
2 x cavalry @ 6 = 12
1 x flyer @ 9 = 9
Total: 66

182 - 63= 119 Schmuckers in surplus

5. Move Units
Move 4 infantry, 1 flyer from Auria to Feria
Move 1 infantry from Argenta to Auria
Move 1 infantry from Auria to M7
Move 2 cavalry from Argenta to Feria


6. Resolve Combat (if any)
none
7. Post end of turn report

Cities:
K8 - Auria (Lvl 5, capital): 1 infantry
I8 - Feria (Lvl 2): 10 infantry, 2 cavalry, 1 flyer
K10 - Argenta (Lvl 3): 1 infantry

Field Unit:
1 infantry at M7.

Map after Watermonkey314's turn:

Spoiler: show

RE: Heralds - Crovius, these are imaginary units that players can use to roleplay, act, threaten, etc. They have no impact on the game, so simply count as whatever your mind can devise.

For Example:

An Icedwagon drops out of the sky at the edge of the Feria hex. A simple suddewman, clothed in bright pink raiment approaches the border.

"Hail, Lord Protector of Escotia! We of the Suddewmen do pay thee homage and all due respect!"

"We note that thou hast assembled a mighty host in Feria, and I am dispatched to enquire of thee: 'What's with that?'"

"Didst our noble leader accidentally kill your grandmother in a previous life? Come on!"

[Crovius]

Just wanted to point out this rule:

Units can only be popped (created) in Cities. One unit can be popped in each City per level; e.g. A Level 3 city can pop 3 units in a turn. All Cities can pop Infantry, but only level 3 Cities or higher can pop Cavalry or Siege, and only level 4 Cities or higher can pop Fliers. Units cannot pop in a City that has been built or upgraded this turn.

So watermonkey can't have created a Flier at Argenta.

1. Calculate Income from Cities
82 Schumuckers from Turn 0 + 100 income = 182 Schmuckers
2. Build and Upgrade Cities
Upgrade Cerulean to a Level 4 (-40 schmuckers total)
3. Create New Units
Pop 2 Infantry in Indigo, Pop 3 Infantry and 2 Calvalry in Azure.
4. Pay Upkeep on Units (if you can’t afford upkeep, remove units until you can)
10 Infantry x 3 = 30
2 Calvalry x 6 = 12

142 - 42 = 100 Schmuckers in surplus

5. Move Units
Move 3 Infantry from Indigo to G1
Move 3 Infantry from Azure to Indigo

6. Resolve Combat (if any)
none
7. Post end of turn report

Cities:
C3 - Azure (Lvl 5, capital): 3 Infantry, 2 Calvalry
E2 - Indigo (Lvl 2): 4 Infantry
D1 - Cerulean (Lvl 4): 1 Infantry

Field Unit: 3 Infantry at G1

[LTDave]

WaterMonkey - Crovius has a point there. Maybe change it so Argenta makes 2 Cav, and 1 of the Inf from your Capital becomes a Flyer.

Turn 2 - back to the top.

[WaterMonkey314]

Can we have an end of turn map, LtDave?

And yes, that's a good catch by Crovius - I'll convert the flyer from Argenta to a cavalry and one of the infantry from Auria to a flyer. The turn has been amended to show that.

Finally, I have a field unit at M7 that should be shown on the map.
------------------------------

An Escotian bureaucrat responds dully to the Suddewman envoy: "Thank you for your concern; we highly value your opinion and will do our utmost to answer your question. Though it may take several turns, n envoy will be sent to your capital promptly once we have finished processing your query. Thank you again for using Escotian Government Solutions-"

A Thinkagram interrupts the bureaucrat's monologue, appearing in front of the Suddewman. "My apologies for my underling's lack of tact. Obviously a representative of our neighbor merits a personal - and prompt - answer: no, our grandmother is alive and well in Auria. Rather, our host is in Feria as a necessary precaution against the whims of a hitherto unknown nation. Since the decision to fortify Feria, though, further evidence has emerged to imply that the Suddewmen are in fact a trustworthy nation who would be a valuable ally.

As such, we ask you for an alliance - a mutual defense pact: an attack on one of our empires will be considered an attack on both, and we shall respond in like kind, jointly and aggressively."

[Twoy]

Edit: Just realized I skipped Black Hand. Do you want to post your turn, and then I will delete mine and repost it after you. I like LTDave's format for posting turn info. Maybe we can also assign each person a letter so that on Turn 2, Encom would be 2A, and I would be 2B, etc.

END TURN

[LTDave]

Twoy - the turn order isn't all that fixed. We don't want to lock it in stone, because if one player goes AWOL, the game grinds to a halt.

Remember, you can take your turn if either:
* All other players have had a turn since you last posted a turn OR
* Six days have passed since you last posted a turn

[The Black Hand]

Apologies for the delay, gents, things have been a tad hectic on my end.

Anywho, here we go:

ENCOM Orders

Starting Schmuckers: 125

1) Calculate income from cities: 110 (30 each from Uplink and Serverfarm, 50 from Mainframe) - Total Schmuckers: 235

2) Pop units: 3 Infantry each in Serverfarm and Uplink, 5 in Mainframe (6 Infantry now present in Serverfarm and Uplink, 8 in Mainframe)

3) Move units: 2 Infantry from Serverfarm to J6 (4 Infantry now present in Servefarm), 2 Infantry from Uplink to H-6 (4 Infantry now in Uplink)

4) Pay upkeep - 20 Infantry x 3 Schmuckers/unit = 60 Schmuckers in upkeep (-60 Schmuckers)

5) Combat - No hostile forces encountered.

6) END TURN

Ending Schmuckers: 165

(orders updated)

[Twoy]

Black Hand,
I believe you cannot build a city after you move units. It's a bit of a pain, but I believe you have to stage units in Phase 5 of your turn and then build a city in Phase 2 of the following turn.

Also, you cannot build a city in J4 because:

New Cities may be created in any Open terrain hex:
1. That doesn’t already have a City
2. Where the player has at least 1 unit, AND
3. That is not adjacent to any other City.

Blargh, I misread the map - I meant J-6, not J-4 >.>

(Also, I thought you had to have a unit in a hex in order to build a city O.o)

[BLANDCorporatio]

LtDave,

there are some inaccuracies about how many and how distributed the Woman troops are in that map. See my previous turn report for details.

Anyways, here goes:

1. Income:

120 Income from cities, together with left-over Schmuckers from last turn is 199 current treasury.

2. Build/Upgrade Cities:

A9: build new city "Pawis" (-10).
Upgrade Bwistol to level 4 (-40).

3. Pop units:

5 Infantry at Wome.
4 Infantry at Wottewdam.

4. Pay upkeep:

11 + 9 = 20 Infantry for 60 Upkeep.

5. Move units:

Move 3 Infantry from Wottewdam to N6.

Move 3 Infantry from Wome to N8.

Move 3 Infantry from Wome to Bwistol.

Move 3 Infantry from Bwistol to E5.

6. Resolve combat: none.

7. End turn report:

A9: Pawis, level 1, 3 Infantry
B6: Wottewdam, level 4, 3 Infantry
D7: Bwistol, level 4, 3 Infantry
B8: Wome, level 5, 2 Infantry
N6: 3 Infantry
N8: 3 Infantry
E5: 3 Infantry

Schmuckers left: 199 - 60 - 40 - 10 = 89.

PS: I hate the whole before movement after movement thing as a replacement to these 7 steps. Source and destination can be specified without all that padding. Also, the end report is no longer indicative of what units are where. For example, Twoy's turn. 3 Cavalry, but only 2 of them show up in the after-movement list (because the last cavalry didn't move).

Ghastly.

PPS: LtDave, when did you upgrade Wessud to level 4? You only had Turn 1 so far, in which you don't order nor pay for an upgrade to level 4. Wessud is level 3.

[LTDave]

Apologies, Wessud is Level 3.

[Twoy]

(Also, I thought you had to have a unit in a hex in order to build a city O.o)

You do. Note how BLANDCorporatio has moved units to three empty spaces. Next round he will probably build three level 1 cities in those locations.

You can't move units and build a city at the unit's new location on the same turn.

[Crovius]

So what you're saying si someone should send a couple gusy to step on Bland before he monopolizes early?

I moved 3 guys to a single point so no one could kill them all before they get a city started.

[Twoy]

So what you're saying si someone should send a couple gusy to step on Bland before he monopolizes early?

Or wait until he builds a Level 1 city. The X 1 def of a Level 1 city does not seem too valuable to me... and you save 10 schmuckers.

[LTDave]

So it's been more than six days since my last turn, so I am using the magic of turnamancy to skip everyone else's go, and have my turn 2.

Map to come.

[LTDave]

Map.

Spoiler: show

Sorry the map is pretty dodgy.

Life intervened in the remaking of the map.

[Twoy]

It's been 8 days since I posted my Turn 2, but if we keep skipping everyone's turn, this game is not going to be much fun.

To those who have not posted Turn 2: If you don't have time to post a strategically-planned turn, at least upgrade a city or two and pop some infantry to defend your cities.

[WaterMonkey314]

Whoops - I was waiting for Twoy out of courtesy and didn't notice he'd already moved. -facepalm-

Turn to come soon.

PS: LtDave, do you have no response? Must we read it as a no?
