Action 4: Upgrade Black Pyramid 1->4
Because you are all jerks picking on the new guy :)
Just a reminder that as cool as using pics of the DI cards is aesthetically, I am using those galleries to show the current state of your hand, so linking them directly will break once I update. (Downloading them and pasting them into posts, on the other hand, will work fine.)
I did upload it so it should be good.
4th action: Purchase red tile act of god. 3 cost with priestess discount

Gain +1 PP and claim Ibis Statue for 1 DI card. Priest moves back to start

@Infested_terran and @ironwulf
Did you guys pay the PP due to mana theft? Make sure you do that.
Here’s mine: PP: 2 - 1 = 1.
On another note, I will be with family for the Easter weekend, so there is a chance I won’t get another turn in until Monday evening. I apologize for delays.
Well, I will take my last move, and it will be a move, top row. I advance my priest down the middle path and pick up the Neth Shield skill. I will add the priest into my only troop on the board, 3 Temple West, replacing a regular unit.
For my move, I will split Polyphemus’s army, leaving behind 4 troops including the priest, and occupy 3 Temple East this new army. I then play the DI card enlistment and give a troop to each, placing the priest in my reserve with Polyphemus. This leaves me with an army of 5 including 1 priest on 3 Temple West, and an army of 4 including Polyphemus and 1 priest on 3 Temple East.
In case you were curious, they have a combat value of 9 apiece when defending. Follow all that Malkav?

And… @Lantz.
Yes, I’ve accounted for it
Yes. I had 5 PP and started my next action with 4.
You can only own one power tile that gives a given effect. Since you already have the white VP tile you cannot purchase the VP tiles from the other colors.
Um, this is a bit of a wrinkle in my plans. I misunderstood this.
I will update my turn when I get to my computer.
Apologies!
You have 6 PP, not 1 - you were at 10, Lantz played Mana Theft so you went down to 9, then you spent 3 on the Act of God tile.
I did follow this. One minor correction - the DI card you’re playing adds 2 units to a single troop, so you would not be able to split like you described. Fortunately, there’s a simple fix: I had you move one fewer unit, and recruit both to Polyphemus’ troop. End result is identical.
I think we’re both wrong.
I started the round with 10.
1st action: recruit four units. 6 left
2nd action: move, pick up 1 seti point, spend 1 on raining fire. 6 left
3rd action: move. 6 left
mana theft. 5 left
4th action: buy act of god. 2 left
You’re missing the part where you gained 4 PP from playing the Glory DI card for your victorious battle.
Sweet!
Important question: how do golden tokens and act of god work now that we’re on a 5th action? Can I do the double silver token from act of god AND the gold token? The gold token AND a regular? Only one? All of them but into a separate 6th or 7th action turn?
I think you would just use both in the same action phase but I don’t have an FAQ handy.
**5th action: Purchase blue tile defensive victory for 2 PP (-1 priestess discount).
**twin ceremonies, purchase 3rd level blue VP tile for 3 PP (+1 ceremonies -1 priestess discount).
Act of God token: pray +2 PP **
6-2-3+2 = 3 PP
If that’s legal, @ironwulf
That is not legal. Like I reminded Lantz, you are not allowed to buy two power tiles that have an identical power. So you can get one VP tile, but not two.
