I’m guessing sheep of the time period weren’t necessarily the big wool-balls we have come to expect from sheep icons.

But also, y’know, horses as a staple food source?

Cities (inns, etc) cannot be built on water.

There is an exception for your starting city, but that’s it. After setup, no building on water.

My dreams of building Middle Ages Venice are dashed :disappointed:

Btw, I think everyone has a feel for the turn structure now, so if anyone wants to start giving full turn instructions by message that’s also fine. On the other hand, we are going to have to start respecting turn order now that purple and blue have overlaps in zone of control. So, anyway, posting patterns will be changing up somewhat.

For now, red and yellow can post instructions whenever, but blue and purple will have to do country builds in order. While purple has a manned dump and harbour, pollution can still be in any order.

I know this might be a quirk of mine, but can you please drop the “please” from your moves?

This is fine. But you can and really should weaponise pollution in this game. Why pollute “your” land when you can dump it in someone else’s backyard?

@Whistle_Pig my only objection is that 16-17 is the same hex as 16-17 =P

I’d also like to put my 3 pollution in 16-17 while we’re at it :wink:

3/4 city builds received…

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense.

Are you sure about that fisherman placement? Looks like only one pearl from that? (there may be a good reason you want to trade one wood for only one pearl, in order to get the man back ASAP, but I thought I better check).

#212

Thanks for checking, if I’ve calculated correctly I only need 1 pearl and I want the worker back.

Is 21-17 a typo?

#214

@pillbox, you cannot pollute a hex with an inn in it.

I think the inn is in 6-4?

#216

You have an inn on 10-10.
