CitOW Game 8 - Road Wardens

susan

(M) Plague Aura to Kislev - 0 - Each of your corruption tokens in this region adds one to your domination value here, 5/6.

Nought

Any chance of a map update Darian my dear?

Darian

Round 3 Summoning Phase

Norse Reavers (peasants die at event) and Road Wardens (remove a Hero) are active.



Khorne (6/7) begins by establishing a Field of Carnage in Estalia (others cannot be summoned away)
Nurgle (5/6) sends a leper into the fray at Tilea
Tzeentch (6/6) ignores the scrum, instead protecting an acolyte in Estalia with a Warp Shield
Slaanesh (5/6) joins the others, sending a seductress into Tilea from the Empire

Khorne (4/7) deploys a second bloodletter to Tilea
Nurgle (5/6) releases a Plague Aura in Kislev (corruption adds to domination)

Delmain

Darian, Khorne played his Field of Carnage to Estalia, not Tilea. Also, the Hero token from Norsca hasn't been removed.

Summon an Acolyte to Bretonnia, 5/6

Darian

Huh... how... odd. And yup, completely forgot about that hero. I'll fix that now and upload another version of the map.

Nought

I cast Insidious Lies to Kislev.

Insidious Lies - 1 - For each Noble token and each Hero token in this region, add two to your domination value here.

4/6 PP

admanb

Brothers, brothers, can't we all just get along? By which I mean, can't you just let me kill you?

Bloodletter to Bretonnia.

2/7 PP

susan

*sigh* There are no good choices... Cultist to Bretonnia, 4/6.

Delmain

Teleport - 1 - When you play this card, move any Cultist or Warrior from this region to any other region.

To Tilea, sending my Cultist to Troll Country

4/6

Nought

I cast Degenerate Royalty to Tilea.

Degenerate Royalty - 3 - If played in a region with three or more corruption tokens, this card's cost is reduced by three. (It's printed cost is still used to calculate your domination value.)

4/6 PP

Tzeentch (4/6) changes things a bit, Teleporting an acolyte from Tilea to Troll Country (instant)
Slaanesh (4/6) makes contact with the Degenerate Royalty in Tilea (no effect)

Nought

Oh Darian my love. You read my mind.

What am I thinking now? :winky:

I totally forgot to tittilate any skittels in game 6 so I better start doing so now

admanb

Bloodletter from Kislev to Troll Country.

0/7 PP

susan

One Cultist from the Empire to Tilea, 3/6.

Delmain

Oh Khorne, you're so short-sighted...

Summon an Acolyte to Norsca.

3/6

admanb

Are you sure?

Delmain

Oh, I'm sure

Nought

I cast Degenerate Royalty in Britonnia.

Degenerate Royalty - 3 - If played in a region with three or more corruption tokens, this card's cost is reduced by three. (It's printed cost is still used to calculate your domination value.)

4/6 PP

susan

Sweet Zombie Jesus, this is a bad place to be in. OK, to be clear: Slaanesh, you're getting 5 VP from Kislev, 2 from Tilea, and 3 from Brettonia from Domination, 4 from ruining Tilea, and probably another 4 from having the second place in corruption there for a grand total of 48 points this turn, plus anything else you plan on doing this turn or next to put you over the top? Am I missing some math here?

Dear brother, I'm afraid you're forgetting someone.

Yeah, Nurgle is trying to make me forget the threat he poses by playing up to my ego.

I'll allow it.

Nought

BTW your turn Nurgle.

Khorne is spent. The poor devil.

Darian

Nurgle is active.

susan

Hmm... Another cultist from the Empire to Bretonnia, 2/6.

Nought

You people sleep to much

Delmain

Yeah, funny story, there's not much I can do to win, though Khorne's in an even worse position than I am.

Acolyte and Warpstone from Troll Country to Estalia, 2/6.

Nought

If you like something then do it as much as possible.

I cast Degenerate Royalty to Britonnia.

Degenerate Royalty - 3 - If played in a region with three or more corruption tokens, this card's cost is reduced by three. (It's printed cost is still used to calculate your domination value.)

4/6 PP

susan

...How... did you get... all those cards...

One Cultist from the Empire to Bretonnia, 1/6. Can anyone stop him next turn?

Aegis

As a spectator, seeing Slaanesh playing 3 Degenerate Royalties on the same turn is an endless source of amusement.

tzeentchling

Seriously, what Aegis said.

Delmain

Acolyte from Tilea with a warpstone to Norsca

1/6

admanb

That's helpful, Tzeentch... stall my progression at no gain for yourself, thus guaranteeing I have no real reason to stop Slaanesh from winning.

susan

I'm not really sure what can be done at this point, frankly. With that freakishly good card draw, Slaanesh has pretty much guaranteed that s/he's going to get within spitting distance of victory this turn, and might actually be able to soak it up completely if s/he dominates a couple more regions with that 4 extra power points. If we could somehow prevent his/her placing any corruption in Tilea we might have a chance, but that's looking next to impossible...

admanb

With nine cards he got two Field of Ecstasy's, three Degenerate Royalties, and two Insidious Lies.

Oh, and the first OW card handed him a pile of Nobles and Heroes.

That's actually pretty funny.

Nought

I cast Perverse Infiltration to Norsca.

Perverse Infiltration - 0 - When you play this card, place one corruption token in this region. This does not give you a dial advancement token.

4/6 PP

susan

*shakes head in disgust*

Well, a Warrior to Tilea, then I'm done. Best I can do.

Yep, it was pretty crazy. Field of Ecstasy, two Degenerate Royalties and an Insidious Lies in the first draw, and a Field of Ecstasy and Degenerate Royalty in the second.

And then The Crusader Old World Card to top it off.

It has to be said though, that I would not have doubled up on the Nobels in Empire and Kislev. It pretty much meant I had to go to Norsca and Troll Country, or try for the big win in The Empire.
