Four players become like the four noble factions in the Atlantis civilization and increase the power of their faction. When Roman soldiers and such attack from the periphery of the city and reach the city buildings, Poseidon in the center floods the city and defeats them, but then the buildings and divine beasts (like giant robots, different from the ones you board) are also swept away.
- So you have to defeat the enemy, but of course, in worker placement, manpower is a limited resource, so fighting delays internal politics.
- Therefore, in cases where there is no damage to you in the event of a flood, you may ignore the enemyâs invasion.
I had an enemy heading for a building I had constructed early in my career, and it was destroyed at my mercy, like I had no way to physically defend it with my meager initial strength.
In this game, buildings can be destroyed and others can use them.
- So itâs not a resource that belongs to an individual.
- The exception is the dedicated building that each faction has only one
- Only one faction has bonuses to buildings, and they can be built a lot, and at the end of the day, every time someone else uses it, it generates victory points.
- I was of the faction where population ultimately added to victory points, so I decided to ignore the buildings and increase the population.
In this game, workers have morale and can perform additional actions by spending morale.
- Initially, there are 3 workers, each with 1 morale, and in this state, basically 3 actions can be performed safely.
- Additional actions will reduce the workerâs morale to 0.
- This would basically be a Grace-1 penalty.
- Also, since +1 recovery occurs for everyone after the penalty calculation, you can safely perform 6 actions in the second round if you have not consumed morale
- However, âMorale +1 except for the topâ is activated first, so you can safely do 7 actions from about the 3rd round.
- There is also âWorshipâ, a means to gain +2 Grace by consuming 1 action.
There are three types of resources: trees, fish, and ore.
- This one has a rather tight upper limit.
There are many benefits to be gained by studying the technology tree.
Appearances from the perimeter of the city may be special actions, not enemies
- In the case of this play, I got âSpend Grace to Study Era 3.
- At that time, no other player but me had met the conditions for Grace to be activated, so I was the definite one to activate it.
- I used this to get âany resource +2 per morale at the end of every round / +2 victory pointsâ.
- At that time, he was the last to win, and when asked why he was not building, he said, âWhy donât you build a building, Nishio-san?â He said, âWell, when I can afford the resources,â but instead of building a building that could be destroyed by flooding, he first increased the population.
Finally, as the time for the last train approached, the organizer declared âWeâre done in 10 minutesâ or âThis turn is the endâ, so we took the collection in reverse order.
- Usually in these games, the endgame is a trade-off between âinvest or expropriateâ, so the endgame involves a reading of âwhen will it end?â, but that was not the case this time, so I decided to âmake the most efficient exploitation without thinking about the futureâ.
- First use the temple of others to activate the action âPoseidonâs Arroganceâ for -15 Grace +25 victory points, then use the exchange of wood and Grace for +3 Grace
- 3 actions with the next 2 people from 2 to 1 morale, the action is âWorshipâ with +2 Grace, so +12 Grace here.
- And the fourth person âbuilds a templeâ and âactivates Poseidonâs Arrogance with an additional actionâ for a +25 win advantage.
- Time was up here without waiting for the end of the round.
- consideration
- I gained a +50 win advantage in one round, but it will be difficult to do it twice every turn since Iâm doing my own temple construction, of which there is only one.
- You have the resources to use it once each turn, but you canât activate it if another player takes the temple at worker placement.
- Iâm sure the temple will be fought over since all players could run the Divine Beast Deployment +15 win advantage.
- You have the resources to use it once each turn, but you canât activate it if another player takes the temple at worker placement.
- I gained a +50 win advantage in one round, but it will be difficult to do it twice every turn since Iâm doing my own temple construction, of which there is only one.
Next time, we will play with the same members, the same faction and the same combination of divine beasts, so we can continue our discussion later.
