    If I am correct, there are two of Khorne's Warriors in The Badlands. My Keeper of Secrets will enlist one of them for this round of combat.

    Nurgle, I am surprised. Summoning a warrior to Estalia instead moving your cultist from the Border Princes for the same amount of effort? You leave a figure vulnerable and give khorne another chance at advancing his threat.

    Looks to me as if we're waving goodbye to sunny Estalia and Tilea this day.

    If Khorne is paying attention, he won't take that swing. Either way, yes, I am doing him a favor by leaving that cultist there.

    Basically, the game ends in the next round. Turn dials don't matter anymore (except for what bonuses/upgrades folks may get for that final push). I have decided to level the playing field a bit since, as I usually play Slaanesh, I know how close to victory you actually are ;-)

    I don't think I will pull out a victory, but then again, I don't know who will end up on top either. Mmmm, tasty, delicious chaos

    The call to battle sounds!

    1. Norsca: quiet
    2. Troll Country: quiet
    3. Kislev: 2 dice
    4. The Empire: 2 dice
    5. Bretonnia: 3 dice, 2 dice
    6. Estalia: 2 dice, 2 dice
    7. Tilea: orgiastic rave
    8. The Border Princes: 1 die
    9. The Badlands: 2 dice, 4 dice - one of Khorne's warriors is controlled by Slaanesh

    Ordered rolls:
    1. Khorne, all your battles up through Bretonnia
    2. Tzeentch in Bretonnia
    3. Khorne in Estalia
    4. Nurgle in Estalia
    5. Khorne in Border Princes and Badlands
    6. Slaanesh in the Badlands

    I accidentally tried to set the [ color="Nurgle"] there, and then on preview noticed it didn't work. Silly non-standard color choices (why can't we get a better green in the drop down?).

    According to Infidel;
    So you want something like 10d6e6h4 where 10 is obviously however many dice you want to roll. Read as "roll 10 d6, extra on a 6+, hits on 4+"

    So in Kislev, Khorne needs to roll 2d6e6h4.

    Corruption Step

    1. Norsca: nothing

    2. Troll Country: nothing

    3. Kislev: no domination, no corruption

    4. The Empire: no domination, no corruption

    5. Bretonnia: Tzeentch dominates for 3 VP (6 > 5)
    Tzeentch places 3 corruption DIAL
    Nurgle places 1 corruption
    Bretonnia is the first region Ruined (3 + 10 + W)
    Tzeentch and Nurgle each score 3 VP for adding corruption this round


    6. Estalia: Nurgle dominates for 4 VP (7 > 6)
    Nurgle places 3 corruption DIAL
    A Great Foul Consumption resolves, removing all 5 Nurgle figures and Nurgle places an additional 2 corruption
    Estalia is the second region ruined (1 + 7 + 3 + WW)
    Nurgle scores 4 VP for adding corruption this round


    7. Tilea: Slaanesh dominates for 3 VP (4 > 3 = 3)
    Slaanesh places 2 corruption DIAL
    Tzeentch places 2 corruption DIAL
    Nurgle places 1 corruption
    Tilea is the third region Ruined (1 + 2 + 8 + WW)
    Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Nurgle each score 4 VP for adding corruption this round.


    8. The Border Princes: No domination
    Khorne places 1 corruption

    9. The Badlands: Slaanesh dominates for 2 VP (5 > 2)
    Slaanesh places 3 corruption

    Total VP after corruption step:
    Khorne: 13 + 0 = 13
    Nurgle: 3 + 15 = 18
    Tzeentch: 7 + 10 = 17

    End Phase

    1. Hero Tokens are resolved - The Hero of the Empire looks in vain for a target

    2. Resolve Old World cards - Norse Reavers kill a peasant in Bretonnia and in Tilea, returning two peasant tokens to supply.

    3. Score Ruined Regions -
    Bretonnia: Tzeentch scores 8 VP; Nurgle scores 4 VP
    Estalia: Nurgle scores 10 VP; Tzeentch scores 5 VP
    Tilea: Slaanesh scores 8 VP; Tzeentch scores 4 VP

    4. Advance Threat Dials - There was a tie for most tokens; each old god gains one DIAL tick
    Khorne: 17 - Score 4 VP
    Nurgle: 18 - Score 3 VP
    Tzeentch: 20 - Upgrade
    Slaanesh: 19 - Upgrade

    New VP totals after Ruination and DIAL:
    Khorne: 13 + 4 = 17
    Nurgle: 18 + 17 = 35
    Tzeentch: 17 + 17 = 34
    Slaanesh: 26 + 8 = 34


    5. Check for Game end
    Dial - nope
    VP - nope
    Ruined - nope
    Old World - nope
    The game did not end.

    Tzeentch needs to choose an upgrade, then you may discard a card

    Slaanesh needs to choose an upgrade

    Once this is done, I'll set the board for the next round (Persistence of Magic both disappear with the ruination of the regions) and update your player sheets with new draws.

    Let me know if you spot any mistakes; here's the updated board at the end of round 4, pending Upgrade choices for Tzeentch and Slaanesh

    I have to say, as a neutral observer, if Khorne didn't roll so poorly there, this would be an even more interesting game - he should have been able to double-tick that round. Still, Nurgle's last to first VP round was quite well done, and there's a tight battle raging, with all the gods still in contention (though Khorne will need a lot of luck from here on out).

    It was gratifying, but I still don't think it will be enough to pull me through (not with Tzeentch and Slaanesh both getting another upgrade and being a mere 1 point behind).

    Either way, my heart is all a pitter-patter: Which god will reign supreme?
