    On a side note, I don't have my board in front of me, but shouldn't Slaanesh be the leader for threat if we are all tied on turn dials?

    Threat dials are in the third post; I'm pretty sure it's right, but feel free to check. It isn't as simple as who is closest to the end of their dial.

    Edit: I just looked, and it's correct. Tzeentch is considered more threatening at that level.

    It is really damn hard to double dial as Slaanesh, I am now fully realizing. You have to get extremely lucky, and the cultist upgrade is 100% essential it appears. That shortest dial to victory is a real big tease.

    All sorts of different approaches would have been possible for me in the last round with the cultist upgrade instead of the greater daemon. Oh well, live and learn! I certainly feel like this is a strong showing for me seeing how as I've never played before.

    Speaking of upgrades...

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

    With the Ruination of the southwest, the Old World finds itself Plunged Into Chaos once more.

    Plunged into Chaos
    Each player immediately scores 1 VP for each Peasant token he has claimed. The player who has claimed the most Peasant tokens scores 3 additional VP.
    Discard this card instead of adding it to the Old World track.

    New VP:
    Khorne: 17 + 9 = 26
    Nurgle: 35 + 1 = 36
    Tzeentch: 34 + 1 = 35
    Slaanesh: 34 + 1 = 35

    Still active: Peasant Uprising increases the resistance for each peasant, and Norse Reavers will kill a peasant at each event token.

    Khorne is active to begin the summoning phase

    Wait, Plunged into Chaos again? That's... boring as hell. I didn't know there were duplicate Old World cards, that seems kinda silly.

    I shuffled up the actual cards to draw the Old World set. They really aren't the most impressive; pretty much leaves it up to the gods to do their thing without much interference.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't implying foul play or anything. I guess I figured the OW cards were a sort of randomly thrown monkey wrench to force players to show some adaptability.

    You have fair warning, it is in Tzeentch and Nurgle's best interest not to meddle in The Badlands.

    My analysis:

    If Nurgle has 5 lepers survive in the Empire he gets +17 VP
    Whomever ruins the border princes gets +14 VP max
    Slaanesh couldn't ruin both regions (would need all 6 cultists for the badlands), but could dominate The badlands for +2VP still not enough.

    Tzeentch -
    You'd probably have to send all your cultists to the Border Princes if you want a shot as there will be 17 attack dice thrown, none by you. If you sent cultists to the Empire or The Badlands you just make your brothers' jobs easier.

    Slaanesh -
    You can move 3 cultists.
    If you put 3 in the Badlands, you risk a teleport by Tzeentch, and would still lose in VP if Nurgle got the empire.
    If you put 3 in the Empire, Nurgle would still win that if 5 survive.
    If you put less than 3 in the Border Princes they may not survive my Bloodthirster so either I or Tzeentch will ruin the region (and contributor VP only adds up 10VP for both Empire and Princes if you somehow had surviving cultists in both).

    In conclusion, if everyone goes for a VP victory, Nurgle will probably win. You should instead be fighting each other!

    BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

    Correction, SLaanesh could get 6VP for 2nd place in the Empire, but would still need 2 surviving cultists in the Princes to pull off primary ruiner.

    You've had a lot of time to think about this =P

    I think a lot of that supposition doesn't matter since you can't predict what the dice will do. It's a three way tie and the two important regions are cardlocked, and it's probably going to come down to who's got how many dice and how they land.

    Also you're missing a lot of points to be calculated here and there. With ruiners scoring, first place overall corruption and second place overall, there's going to be a lot happening.
