#172 - New Player Primeval with Mentor

[HeadHoncho]

Well, hopefully you are all setting up to gain your regions this turn. I'm likely to, although my insurance (one extra chance at a neutral town) has gone away due to user error (wrongly reading a square on my map which led me to send an emissary to an empty square), so don't be too discouraged if you've made a user error or two of your own in this game... it still happens to experienced players, too.

Remember, the upcoming turn is the last turn to log your ESO choices. I'm going for a greater ESO, with the two choices I mentioned previously (control, two Princes and 17 Influence), plus two P4 wizards. Based on the text at the end of my T0, I understand this is a REX-only game (four regions), so no SVC choices are necessary.

What does REX stand for?

[Feralkoala]

Rex is Latin for King. It's usually used to denote a victory by holding a number of regions (4, in this game format).

[Sinestro]

Turn 4 should be very interesting. We get to see who's off to the best start. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the black dragon, just because his military strength and movement....but I am new to this, so they not be valid reasons

[HeadHoncho]

Just to clarify, you may already know this, but we're actually about to process T3, not T4.

[Sinestro]

Thanks for clarifying that. I was thinking it was turn 3 that we just got today. So I meant, turn 3 should be interesting.

[HeadHoncho]

Indeed. So for T3, hopefully some of us will be taking our regions. Most likely is BL, EL, with DW and GN potentially lagging a turn or two due to lower movement rates. Regardless, do not be discouraged, this is a learning game, and it will all get worked out! And if anyone needs help or has questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

[HeadHoncho]

Hi everyone. Just checking to make sure everyone is doing OK. Have you taken your cities, and found at least a few pop centers?

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Terrible turn

Terrible turn

Did you make a rookie mistake?  Mix up some 330 and 320 orders?   What made your turn bad.  It is a learning game so if it does not put you in a bad spot let everyone know what happened so all can learn from it.
