Turn Session 5 - get your orders in

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Aeson, I believe the way it was stated is that the highest bidder gets first choice of tiles, so if a player who is biddng on the 2 federal tiles has bid higher than the city bidders that person would get first pick.

So there's two tiles up for for bid by everyone and if any of those bids are higher than the bids in your city auction they would get prior choice on tiles.

The new city will be founded 7774 of The Asylum.

What on earth are you talking about... 7774???? what kind of funky coordinate notation is that????? is it ieven a coordinate system at all???

Apoleet speek.

They use the position of the numbers on a standard numerical keypad to indication direction as opposed to the common NW, W, S, E, N, NE, etc.

I was under the impression that the auctions were seperate. A City auction and a Federal one taking the tiles that were left. The way you answered Uber's question on that point seemed to support that the city auction came first, then the federal one.

Do the players pick them, and then the remaining 4 are state-owned?

Exactly.

Exactly.

They are seperate, but it was never stated that the city picks came before the federal picks. The city gets a larger number of tiles and the federal ones may not go up for auction and be held in reserve.

The quote you listed was in answer to what happened to LEFTOVER tiles. After all the share owners pick their tiles the remaining tiles go to the Central Government just like all the leftover tiles from our initial choosing went to the Central government.

No, it was in response to how we were going to divide up the city and state tiles.

Now, lets say we were going to colonize somewhere with 8 full tiles.

1. How do we determine which 4 are player owned? Do the players pick them, and then the remaining 4 are state-owned?

"Exactly"...

I was under the impression that the city auction for settler shares would hold precedence over the federal government auction tiles of the new city, thus giving the advantage to those, within the city, bidding on the settler from which it was built... I never saw ANYWHERE, where it said that if someone bidding in a "federal auction" outbid someone bidding in the "city auction" that the higher bidder, from the federal auction, would have choice of tile first. ... well until I saw it here anyways...

Like I said...I was under the impression that being a citizen of the city in which the settler was built would come with the perks of at least having a snap crack shot over everyone else (from other cities) at getting in on the new city...

I guess I was wrong...

[=OttomusCeasar=]

I was under the impression that it was the highest bid regardless of whether the bidder was bidding on a city or federal auction.

We're going to have to hold up on the Turn Session for a bit, X may have to redo its turn strategy and this rushing of the Settler rule discussion has really screwed up things up.

[MrWhereItsAt]

OK, sure.

Am keeping an eye on things (whilst remaining clueless about the stuff you guys seem to enjoy so much! ).

I proposed these orders to Gen Locus, and he did not complain about any of them.

Warrior, head southeast, to scout north of Feudality.
On turn 51, Feudality grows to a size 2. Ensure working 2 floodplains and the mined hill.
Settler finishes on turn 52. Build warrior.
Move settler 3, 6, 2.
Settle New City on turn 53.
New City builds a warrior.
On turn 54, worker finishes mining.
Move worker 9,9, road there.
worker finishes on turn 57. move 2, irrigate.
Warrior in Feudality finishes on turn 58. Build settler.

OOOOOH! Orders!

I will look over these properly in about 24 hours' time, and if there are any glaring omissions then I will leave it for a short time. If I can't find any issues anywhere in the thread or the forum, I will go ahead and play what's there as soon as I can....

When? If possible I would like to be on hand to hear the gritty details as they play out.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Ah, OK....

Having to schedule it, I can make it Sat evening about 2100 EST, I think. Am moving flats the whole day before then.
