Then I'll just wait another turn and take it back. The only problem is that it will cost me one point.

Btw, the Faeroe Islands are needed for the Denmark bonus, Ceuta and Melilla for the Spain bonus, and Kaliningrad is needed for the Russia bonus. (No, you don't need Gibraltar for the UK bonus otherwise it would be nearly impossible to get.)

wait, can i do my *first* turn?

This is *your* first turn, but it is the game's second turn.

do seas require resources to conquer

bonuses make this like light of war

seas require 5 resources to conquer, yes. unless it's owned by a person, then it's 10 and a declaration of war.

It is now round 3. Take your turn before 2013, July 11, 02:00 Interguild time.

Jebby may spend 12 resources.
atomic7732, Darvince, jellsprout, Jorster, mudkipz (binary guy), Quirvy, rocketguy, soccerboy, Teo, and Yaya may spend 9 resources.
buboy24, jazz, and yimmy7 may spend 7 resources.

I will update the little chart to include cost when at war.

<icmpoutsrcquench>darvince how did jebby get 12
<icmpoutsrcquench>instead of 9
<Darvince>he saved 6 resources
<Darvince>by being inactive
<icmpoutsrcquench>oh
<Darvince>inb4 everyone goes inactive
<Darvince>to save resources

Mudkipz complained that he didn't know where nations were so here.


Also, if you want, you can just say that you aren't going to take your turn and you won't hold up the game.

Time to protect the Warsaw capital by gaining the entire Masovia. Haha I love translating voidenship names within Wikipedia.

Dammit Quirvy, I see what you're doing there....

I'm probably not going to go where you think I'm going to go. I don't want to have to deal with Yimmy since he's apparently trying to claim all the top border territories, so I'm not going to extend my empire all the way to the northern border.

Yaya, I criticize your move. You should have claimed a territory bordering buboy; then, if buboy forgot to go, you could have taken his entire country the next turn, and would have freed up a lot of space in the east for you to take. Now for you to be able to do that, you'll have to bank on him forgetting to go this turn and the next turn.

Oh, I thought you were gonna just close off all land entries into the Norway/Finland/Sweden peninsula.

I'm not really good at thinking ahead like that. I need to get it in my head that I can take other countries if I have the right amount of resources. Anyways, I figure Buboy will come on at least once before the next turn is over.

Well, I'm probably going to end up doing that. I thought that you thought that I was going to go all the way up top and have my empire go from Moscow to the north border.

Even if I don't block you out from that area in the next turn, I think it's safe to say you won't be able to expand east. Your best bet is either taking out buboy or trying to slip around him and claim southern territories.

If I were you, I'd probably move south, and try to claim the territories east of Buboy, being hopeful that I could lock him in to the east border eventually, and maybe if you get lucky there's still some territory left to be claimed east of your current position later on.

But, similarly if I was buboy I would use this move to claim the northern territory bordering moscow in this turn. That would force you to expand south through the eastern border, and on the next turn if he got here before you did, he could actually claim an eastern border territory and effectively lock you out of the south, at which point you'd have to scramble to get any remaining territories because by then you'd be both locked out from the south and the east, and you'd be stuck in your little corner with war being the only way out. But buboy isn't very active so I suspect that at worst you'll end up having to expand through the east border.

But yeah, looking at this from a strategic standpoint, I think that was a pretty bad move, you should have taken the territory bordering moscow. Also, if Yimmy is a man of his word, minimum of 4 turns before he goes to war with you for the territories on the Northeast border.

watch out yaya. btw lol at quirvy not wanting to deal with me

I kinda wish I was where Jorster was. The closest player to him is 4 territories away (through sea) and the second closest is 5 territories away. There are 6 countries who are 4 or less territories away from me.

These countries are:
Yaya
Buboy
Teo
Yimmy
Jellsprout
Darvince

is this turn 3?
