Titanic Mandate vs. Elder Gods

[HerbieRai]

I have a few questions for Twoy:

1) Can ships enter land hexes?

2) If no, can ships enter cities that are adjacent to water hexes?

[Twoy]

I have a few questions for Twoy:

1) Can ships enter land hexes?
Only swamps.

2) If no, can ships enter cities that are adjacent to water hexes?
Only if the city is on a swamp.

[Twoy]

Quickened 1 also discovers Tsathoggua, a L3 EG Warlord, a Polyp, and 3-Yugg with an Eyebook, Backpack LH +2 Att, are at 71.26 building a mine.

[Twoy]

Exate broke the game with his capability to Xerox his Sepcial D: Copycat unit infinite times. Even with the tiny stack bonus of 0.1, the attack and defense of the stack gets very large when the number of units in the stack is infinite. Also, his turn would never end, and the game would freeze as his copycats copied each other infinitely.

Also the infinite copycats could create an infinite number of other types of simple mancers, such as man witches that could then creat an infinite number of magic items to equipm his non-infinite units.

Thus, I am awarding Exate 1 point and nerfing the Xerox spell, though it will still be overpowered.

To version 0.40 of the rules I am adding: The Xerox spell cannot be cast on a unit that is in a stack with 8 or more units.

To all three Xerox versions, I am adding: Copied units share the same pool of juice as the original.

[Twoy]

Tia'ume Turn 16 Complete. (Except maybe one or two follow up moves if he can figure out how to get a stack up to Tsathoggua)
Evil Imagination Land Turn 16 Complete.

Send in your orders. I will also begin processing Koopa Kingdom and the MiniTitans. When they get caught up to Turn 16, I will turn over their forward armies to other players, and I will continue to run their cities and rulers.

I'm maxing defences around Pointy End, hoping that the enemy don't attack my soft underbelly...
Of course, since we haven't seen any scouts in our territory, we could assume that they don't know what's going on...
Then again, we've never seen any enemy scouts, and yet they manage to cwoak my scouts all the time...
Funny that.

[Twoy]

To all three Xerox versions, I am adding: Copied units share the same pool of juice as the original.

On turn 14, the MiniTitans built a L3 city named Wurmberg at 51.37. Guarding the city and preparing to launch an attack on the Elder Gods are:

Congrats to Exate, that's exactly what the point of a test was, and congrats for the cleverness to spot that. I certainly missed it.

Right, so orders for turn 16 are needed from me. I'll get at least the accounting done, if not the orders themselves, later on.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Sent orders, finally. Regretfully no new units sent to Jus Cos, not this turn. Next one.

[Twoy]

My vacation begins on Saturday, March 24. I will return on Thursday, April 12. I am going to try and finish up Turn 16, except for Koopa Kingdom and Mini Titans. For them I will try to finish Turn 15 and pass the Armies to you guys. MiniTitans have completed Turn 15 and upkeep, pop and all that has been completed for Turn 16. I will maintain control of the MiniTitans and Koopa Kingdom cities, treasuries and rulers. Players can use the treasuries from Al-Khali and Wurmberg to pay for popping more natural allies as necessary.

Note: Minititans popped a L3 city, Al-Khali, at 55.32 on Turn 15.

Here are the available armies from the MiniTitans:

Some of the info might be a bit confusing. For example, 7-Eager Elves means there are seven eager elves. Father's Hog 3 means this was the third Father's Hog popped. Medle-Lofty Elf 1-0 means a lofty elf chieftain named Medle who is L1 and has 0 XPs. Sock Devourers 37-44 means they were the 37th through 44th sock devourer unit popped.
