RAH rules V: Attack of the Ferrets

[rah]

Yes, but since it takes more than 1 turn, you're still losing out. After the first turn it reverts back to normal so you should be reseting them every turn.

[War4ever]

sigh, specializing everything makes the game tedious

[rah]

Come on, quit whining, in a normal game, how many squares do you terraform, 2,3? this won't add any effort.

[Ming]

I have no problem with pre worked settlers for forts... but this seems to take it a step further and add "some" time to the game. I could go either way, but I would say no with the exception of fortress building...

Yeah... I know it doesn't make sense, and both are the same... I just don't like the sound of waking up settlers every turn just so you have to order them again next turn.

[War4ever]

Well the twins are divided....i will go back to my origional stance then.....and side with Ming and Hydey....

[rah]

You'll just clear them when you give them their work order. It won't add much time for the 8 times you do it in the course of one game.

[War4ever]

i don't know Rah, sounds like pandoras box to me

[Ming]

Yep... you have to clear the work order... and then on the next turn, cycle through the settlers again, and give them the same order... again... and again... and again... and again... and again

[War4ever]

Gee ming, the way your put it....... i don't like it at all

[Hydey]

The way Ming puts it, turns will take hours.

[rah]

And how many settlers do you have doing that type of improvements? 2 or at most 4. It's the caravans that slow down the turns.

[War4ever]

i agree caravans slow the game down, so does the hutfinder, etc....... so adding more things is a no no to me

[Ming]

Yeah... caravans add a lot of time. But we saw what happens when they are removed (civ III).

I prefer having the caravans

how does the hutfinder slow down the game, people only use it when it is someone elses turn.

[Ming]

It does slow things down on the first few turns when people find their first huts... while we try to use it between turns, the turns are so quick, they get back to you before you see what you want to see. After that, it doesn't slow the game down at all. And it's a ton faster than going through your old graph paper maps to match up the pattern
