Regarding conflict

I don’t mind where I go in this turn, but want to position myself for a future conflict call. Where is the best place to go?

[Benkyo]

Don’t use your prayer token. End up wherever in sequence, but stay closest to the temple.

[Captbnut]

Thanks.

I’ll go with that. Do you want me to put the instruction the game thread, or is it ok here?

[Benkyo]

Better there, for the record.

[pillbox]

Oh dang, yes! Quarry on 1-6 please

REVISED Building Dunk builds raft factory in 1-3 Donkey with 2 board to destroy wall with 2 boards from 5-4

Just checking, but only the build is revised, right? Can’t go back to previous phases.

Also, you have 2 boards in 4-3 and 2 boards in 5-4, which set are you using to demolish the wall?

Also also, if you want to use the wagon factory in production, you’ll have to call conflict to go before RossM in production (thereby losing the ability to go before RossM in any other phase if he calls conflict again). So please let me know if that is what you intend to do.

[lalunaverde]

Ah I thought the call conflict was for the whole thing. Let me change it

[lalunaverde]

Order now changed

[Benkyo]

Ok. Secondary production. Upgrade a donkey to a cart. Build a raft Convert log into two boards. If that’s correct I’ll post the rest of my turn.

There’s no potential for conflict in production, so that can only be correct. I assume you mean you are waiting to see whether lalunaverde calls conflict for movement.

[RossM]

Exactly! What I meant.

[Benkyo]

Although, that said, you might want to consider what a donkey could do if it moved to 7-4, for example. If you know someone else could move first, then it pays to think about which goods you want on transporters in production. Same thing for everyone else, but for the sake of simplicity I am going to assume that if there are enough transporters with spare capacity to pick up everything in a hex in production, they will, even if players forget to mention it.

@lalunaverde

Obviously, you don’t have to decide on or declare your movement before conflict is resolved. Feel free to put it in spoilers if you want to just speed up the admin. Also note there’s 2 gold ore and 1 iron on the mine hex now.

So, conflict. Everyone please sound off in prayer order whether or not you are going to the back of the prayer row.

@Captbnut @pillbox @rossm

In the main thread, please.

[Captbnut]

Is there a limit on how many times you can reshaft a mine?

[Benkyo]

Nope. But it takes iron and fuel to do.

[Captbnut]

@Benkyo

But it takes iron and fuel to do.

Glad I asked, I’d missed that requirement, just thought it was research

[Benkyo]

Hit a small snag there with me missing previously-posted instructions. Update coming soon.

For future conflicts: please post whether or not you are using your prayer marker along with your preferred sequence order position(s) in spoiler tags. If possible, also include your instructions for the phase in spoiler tags if you think it’s not dependent on reading the instructions of people who end up going before you.

Secondary Log into boards Movement Call conflict!

Secrety secret

Speed brings 2 wood to 3-2 and drops those. Picks up 2 gold nuggets Dunk goes back to 4-3 carrying 3 bricks Donkey with brick goes to 5-2 Key goes to 4-4 to carry 2 geese Donkey that converted the logs, now goes to 6-3 with 2 wood

4-3 to 5-2 is not a valid move.

Movement Both Rafts dock at sawmill. Between them they load 4 boards and 1 stone. Then they move to 8-4 Donkey on 7-5 takes two boards to 6-3 Donkey on 7-4 loads two stone and moves to 7-3 and then 8-2 taking all geese with them Wagon moves to 7-5 collecting the log at 7-4 on the way Donkey 4 moves to 7-4 Donkey on wagon factory with 2 boards waits there.

Docking ends movement. The rafts cannot go to 8-4.

Turn 13 Production 2 logs on 2-7 become raft, Parm 1 log on 2-5 becomes 2 boards 2 boards on 2-6 becomes 1 Paper Movement Mozz moves to 3-7, picks up stone, and moves to 2-6. Then drops the stone Ricotta picks up the stone that Mozz drops Donkey that was on 2-6 moves to 2-5, picks up 2 boards and returns to 2-6 with 3 geese in tow Donkey that was on 2-5 moves to 3-5, picks up 1 log and moves back to 2-5 Donkey that had logs on 2-7 moves to 1-7 Parm moves to 2-5

No research in production? You have the paper and the geese, use them or lose them (or pick up the paper to avoid losing them, I suppose that’s also an option!)

[Captbnut]

How does research work - do the paper and the 2 geese have to be on the same hex?
