Antiquity, the most ridiculous game to PBF, beginners-only game recruitment and discussion

IIRC woodland clears to farm land.

If I farmed 19-20, and then cleared 20-20 in the harvest phase, would my farmer be able to work 20-20 in a future turn without having to build a new farm?

I assume not, because this game is not that nice

You assume correctly. All goods are placed on building, and you won’t get any extra.

Thanks

Just to check - if I build a stone mine 20-18 - will I get stone from 19-17 and 20-17 (outside ZOC but adjacent) - looking at the woodcutter in the top corner I assume so. Also, will I get stone from 21-18 (uncovered explorer token)?

Yes, and yes.

Hexes with/without explorer tokens are no different from any other hexes.

Hmm… That could potentially be more useful (as if I know what I’m doing)

What can I build on pollution?

Cities, Inns, Fisheries. No penalty for doing so.

Wow. Looks like Famine is brutal on a 4 player game with more exploration

What happens if I can’t place pollution?

You place graves instead.

Yeah, the one big downside of my preferred no-exploration start is how much pressure it takes off the other players. One day I’m going to try a high-speed exploration strategy - expand and ramp up the famine as fast as possible.

I’ve got one more turn before I run out of wood?

Currently, you have one wood, you’ll harvest one more wood this turn, and one more wood next turn.

Map views without cubes in the way are available on request. Perhaps I should just post both?

Can you flip building tiles, or only rotate them when building in your city?

Only rotate.

To build a fisherman, do I give the hex location of the water, or the shore?

Both hexes of the fishery itself. There is no choice of where the goods go.

For example: “25-18, 25-19 pearls”
