Yup. I took Aura just to be immune from Initiative. Then scorpion came up and now I have to try and counter that. Crusade seemed like a good pick but now that I have an extra action to prepare against a possible attack, I thought another pick would be better.

I would encourage anyone to pick up Crusade before Lantz can. +2 PP for every battle kill with the scorpion running around is no joke.

I made a big mistake being the first to move out. I thought holding the temples would bypass the need for economy but I’m spending all the power gained just trying not to get knocked off, whereas everyone else is sititng back and developing without worry of attack. I sunk my savings into buying the Old Man & the Sea fishing boat while everyone else invested in mutual funds.

@ironwulf? We’re waiting on you, man.

144

Sorry, lost track of this. So I need to re-do my second action, correct?
I’ll do the same action, Raise Black Pyramid from 3 to 4
PP got from 5>1

@Lantz

145

Action 2: Purchase the Giant Scorpion Red Power Tile. Give him to my red pyramid location troops. PP 5 > 1

@Greatatlantic

(Apologies for the turn mistake)

146

Well, after some hee-ing and hawing back forth in my head…

I purchase the Blue Tile Protective Aura.

PP: 2 - 0 (Priest of Ra price reduciton) = 2 PP.

@Infested_terran

I guess somebody put the fear of Dolf Lundgren in me. Did you guys know he has a Masters in Chemistry, or something like that?

147

Hmmm? I bought Protective Aura my first action this turn. Unless I missed something that it could be bought multiple times?

@Greatatlantic

148

Dang it, yes you did. I thought that was the action you took back. This round really has gotten confusing. Anyways… instead I will let the board state develop and Pray (Middle Row if it matters).

PP: 2 + 2 = 4.

Thanks again for running this. As an old Chaos in the Old World fan, this was one of the games I’ve wanted to play for a long time.

I actually saw it in the store last week and was tempted, then saw the price tag. $70 for the base game and $50 for Seti!!

151

It used to be significantly cheaper. Then Asmodee bought Matagot. :/

152

For 3rd action, purchase red tile God Speed

@Greatatlantic

I am a bit swamped now but I will follow adopt the state stuff for my next turn.

154

Sorry for the delay, but Friday nights are a game nights for me and we went a little long. Anyways,

For my third action I will upgrade my blue Pyramid to 2.

PP: 4 - 1 = 3.

@Infested_terran

155

Shouldn’t that cost 2 PP?
Raising a pyramid level costs the PP of the level it is being raised to.

156

He pays one less PP for all actions due to Priest of Ra.

157

Damn that tile!
I stand corrected.

158

Actually, not just every action, but every time I pay PP. So, in theory I can I can play Divine Intervention cards with cost and pay 1 less off the total price. Or, the Sphinx of Khnum entry cost is reduced to 1 for me. The Level-4 Tiles are no joke, folks. Except for Bestial Fury, I believe that is a joke. I mean, was something lost in translation there?

159

4th action: Top move action. Move priest to first middle location, pick up 1 PP on way.
Move 1 unit + Khnum’s Sphinx teleport to Delta temple.
4+1-2= 3 PP

@ironwulf

Blue (infested_terran):
1 temporary VP (temple)
2 DI cards
3 units in reserve
6 unused Battle cards
Pyramids: 2/2/2 Blue/White/Black

Enforced Recruitment: May recruit to any space where Bastet has units as well as Bastet’s own city.

Remember, when you take a Move action you can move a priest on the Path to Ta-Seti before you move troops.
