[Chaos] CitOW game 57

Hi I'm Vee!

Someday, I'm actually going to read and completely understand all of the information available to me in a game.

Then I'll become unstoppable.

But until then, I'll have games like this where I spend an entire turn stacking Estalia with clan rats because I think my upgrade triggers when I dominate a region.

(Turns out it only triggers when a region is ruined.)

blahmcblah

I see orokos continues to hate you, JD.

You were thinking of Skitterleap. I wondered what you were doing over there, heh.

Round 3, Corruption phase

Board after battle:


Old World Resists:
Skavengers - place a Skaven at a Warpstone
Reavers - remove a Peasant at Event

Chaos effects:

Norsca: Warpstorm (Place a Warpstone with a kill)
Troll Country: Havoc (warriors and greater daemons place corruption instead of battling)
The Empire: Festival (+1 PP for each figure summoned here by an opponent) qne Ascension (place a warrior or cultist here if dominated)
Estalia: Horde (+1 PP for others to act here while someone is outnumbered by rats) and Cache (save the card if dominated; may turn in later for 2 PP at start of summoning)
Border Princes: Festival (+1 PP for each figure summoned here by an opponent) and Creeping (N places corruption in each adjacent region if he dominates)

Domination step:
Norsca: +1 VP
Troll Country: +1 VP
Kislev: +4 VP
The Empire: +5 VP, daemonette ascends
Estalia: +5 VP, Cache triggers, DAC
The Border Princes: +2 VP, Death Creeps out
The Badlands: +1 VP

Corruption step:
Norsca: +3 DAC
Troll Country: +1, +2, DAC, +3 DAC
Kislev: +1, +2, DAC, +1
The Empire: +2
Border Princes: +1, +4
The Badlands: +3

Check for ruination:
Troll Country is the first region ruined (+3 VP, +3 VP, +3 VP, +3 VP)
Kislev is the second region ruined (+4 VP, +4 VP, +4 VP)

Updated VP:
4 + 11 = 15 VP
3 + 9 = 12 VP
5 + 6 = 11 VP
7 + 12 = 19 VP
8 + 5 = 13 VP

Round 3, End phase

Board at the start of the end phase:


1. Remove Chaos Cards from the Board - visiblehowl saves a Cache

2. Hero Tokens are resolved - Heroes attack Tzeentch in Troll Country and a bloodsworn in Kislev

3. Resolve Old World cards - jdarksun to place a new Skaven at a Warpstone; reavers claim a peasant in Tilea

4. Score Ruined Regions -
Troll Country: +6 VP, +3 VP
Kislev: +9 VP, +4 VP

5. Advance Threat Dials - Tzeentch has the most and ticks twice; everyone else ticks once
14 - Draw 2 Cards
10 - Remove 1 Corruption
21 - Place 2 Warpstones
25 - Upgrade
11 - Upgrade
12 - Score 3 VP


Updated VP:
Khorne:15 VP
Nurgle: 12 + 4 = 16 VP
Tzeentch: 11 + 6 = 17 VP
Slaanesh: 19 + 12 = 31 VP
The Horned Rat: 13 + 3 = 15 VP


6. Check for Game end - The game does not end

Things that need to happen (feel free to wait for those ahead of you or to go out of order, your choice):

1. 38thDoe to choose a victim for the hero of Troll Country
   
2. jdarksun to place a Skaven at a Warpstone
   
3. DA to draw 2 cards
   
4. jdarksun to remove a corruption
   
5. 38thDoe to place two Warpstones
   
6. blah to choose an upgrade
   
7. 38thDoe to choose an upgrade
   
8. jdarksun or I will reveal the next Old World card; jdarksun to make any decisions
   

Darian

Why would the BP ruin? There's only 11 corruption there with no Warpstones. (Rats only count after the region is ruined from other sources.)

38thDoe

There is one less horror in Troll Country today.

Yeah, I miscounted. The first set of "The Border Princes" should be "Troll Country" though.

Thanks! Somehow I typed that about five times without ever noticing.

Round 3, End phase

Board in the midst of decisions:

I don't have access to handtracker for this, so you guys will have to keep an eye on card draws and reveal the OWC when it is time.

Well, crap, that's another double for Tzeentch. Another Havoc next round could be game. I have to admit it'd be really cool to see a non-Khorne dial win for once...

Argh. I totally forgot that Havoc is a separate phase than normal corruption.

38thDoe

Two Warpstones for my fans in Tilea, upgraded Acolytes for everyone else.

Darian

Note: the Acolyte upgrade triggers at the end of combat in a given region, before moving on to the next region, and can be used once per round.

38thDoe

I'll reserve the right to change it up until jdarksun reveals the old world card then since it is technically out of order.

Darian

Well, the only other thing we're waiting on is for @blahmcblah to pick his upgrade.

38thDoe

I know.

blahmcblah

It's unlikely to matter, but I'll still go with the Keeper of Secrets upgrade.

38thDoe

I think no player has claimed the most so no player scores 3 additional points. I could be wrong. No discard from me.

Darian

From the FAQ:

Q: For the “Plunged into Chaos” card, does anyone score the three bonus victory points if two or more players are tied for the most collected Peasant tokens?
A: No. The three bonus victory points are only awarded if a single player has more Peasant tokens than all other players.

Darian

Plunged Into Chaos scores points only for peasants, with no bonus.
+2 VP, +2 VP, +1 VP, +1 VP

Round 4, Draw phase

Draw step: Everyone other than Tzeentch draws 2 cards; Tzeentch has declared no discard and may draw back to 5 in hand.

Round 4, Summoning phase



Old World Resists:
Skavengers - place a Skaven at a Warpstone
Reavers - remove a Peasant at Event

Chaos effects:

None yet, obviously.

visiblehowl has the option of redeeming his cache for +2 PP. Once he makes that decision, DA will be active to begin the summoning.

blahmcblah

Looks like the Reavers accidentally claimed a Peasant in Norsca instead of Tilea.

Darian

Hmm. Well, Tzeentch claimed a peasant in Norsca. I think I forgot to let the Reavers get their due.

blahmcblah

Or that!

Hi I'm Vee!

Guess I better use that Warp Cache now. We might not even get a next turn!

DevoutlyApathetic

Bloodbath to The Badlands.

7/7 PP

38thDoe

Convocation to Tilea, bringing the gang from Troll country and the missing horror.

5/6 pp.

blahmcblah

Shroud of Secrecy in The Border Princes

5/6 PP

blahmcblah

I accidentally clicked the wrong card in my hand, so I have an exposed Pleasure Shield that I may or may not play later.

Darian

@visiblehowl is up

Hi I'm Vee!

Okay, so Priority #1: Prevent Tzeentch from double dialing.

Priority #2: Prevent Slaanesh from gaining 18+ victory points.

Ideally we'd prevent Tzeentch from getting any dial ticks at all, but that seems unlikely.

Unfortunately, my deck appears to be woefully low on "screw other players" cards, so I'm not sure how much I can contribute. I guess we'll see what happens.

For now, Skitterleap in Estalia.

8/8 PP

blahmcblah

(aka @DevoutlyApathetic)

38thDoe

I might lack Internet for a few days, apologies in advance if I hold anything up.

DevoutlyApathetic

Sorry about this. I keep looking at this and searching for a good way to move forward and not finding it. Eh.

Bloodthirster to The Badlands.

7/7 PP

Darian

@38thDoe is active, upon his return.

DevoutlyApathetic

Ha. I just went digging into the dead pages looking for this thread. Must have timed it just right to move from Page 1 to Page 2 when Darian updated.

"Page 4? It hasn't been that long has it?"

Darian

Bookmarking threads is your friend.

The sad thing is I do that but so rarely think to just click the "Bookmarked" button instead of looking for little yellow tags.

38thDoe

I'm back home, thanks for waiting all.
Havoc to The Badlands, summoning a horror from Tilea.
3/6 PP.

blahmcblah
