    With our diplomatic overture concluded amicably (thanks to the wise decision of the Naalu - may our peace last until the suns burn out), The Universities of Jol-Nar PASS.

    I hate being the first guy to do that. :(

    How does the order work in who gets to claim objectives? Is it just the usual start at speaker and go clockwise?

    Does the Yin kamikaze ability apply ONLY to the 2nd combat round, or is it the start of every round beginning with the 2nd?

    I messed that up - since everyone still has their Strategy Cards until the end of the Status Phase, the order of play for claiming objectives should be the same as that observed in the Action Phase. This doesn't matter in the early game, but once people get close to the VP threshold, order could be the difference between victory and defeat.

    The Yin kamikaze ability only applies to the 2nd combat round.

    Since everyone has claimed or declined objectives, we'll move on to Command Counter allocation. I'll be sending out Action Card draws shortly.

    Incidentally, I'm here in the airport now, on my way to Seattle for PAX. Let's just say I may be a bit slow in terms of updates for the next week, hmm?

    When combat starts, who handles the rolling?

    When receiving command counters from the leadership card, where on your sheet do they go? Any of the 3 areas you want? To a reserve that you cannot use until you reallocate them during the status phase?

    My understanding of the rules was that you could totally rearrange all command markers on your sheet during the status phase. The wording here makes it sound like placements are permanent and you only get a choice where to place new ones. Which is correct?

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Not sure how limited MrBlarney's access will be but that should wrap up the status phase if we want to start choosing strategies. Muaat is the new speaker and starts us off. 1 bonus counter was placed on the (6) warfare and (8) bureaucracy strategies.

    Choose one Strategy Card. No player may choose that Strategy Card this round.

    If anyone wants to Sabotage that, they should say so now.
    Once everyone has confirmed whether or not they are going to Sabotage, we can proceed with Strategy selection as SeGaTai outlined above.

    GrimmyTOA on
  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Not sure if order starts from the speaker or to the right of the Naalu, only really matters if more than one race plans on sabotaging it. It's usually rare for more than one race to consider playing a sabotage so strict order usually isn't followed. Regardless Creuss won't be sabotaging.
