Game map in the OP of the Game Thread has been updated.

Morgoth - you have yourself at 2 TGs, but I have you at 5 TGs - you gained 3 from using the Trade Primary, and then 3 more when you did a commodities swap with Gnaw, then spent 1 to produce in the system you just took over.

Am I missing something?

Otherwise everything is looking good!

Re: how to post trades - I don't mind if you post that you are offering a trade to someone, and then that person confirms the trade on their turn. It makes it easier for me to see that both parties agree to it without having to dig through the chatty thread, or ask for confirmation or whatever. However, if the trade can be completed when you're posting it, I don't need someone to then confirm that trade on their turn as it will technically already be completed. I haven't had any issues deciphering who's doing what so far this game, so do keep that up.

You must really want to give me an extra carrier. I'll take it for sure but I think everyone else would probably object.

Posted will prettify later.

Not sure where that came from. I've removed it and am uploading the new map now.

Look, Twelve, we wanted to kept this quiet from you but you keep bringing it up, so...we all got together to discuss how bad you are at this game. We felt a bit sorry for you so we decided that you could start with an extra Carrier to help you out. As it is, we think that you'll still probably be awful, but we can only help so much.

Khell any indications when the great Saar empire are going to play logistics?

Is this what the other races refer to as 'flattery'? It feels...sticky.

No specific idea, but as late as possible in all likelihood.

Map has been updated to remove Twelve's extra carrier, plus I've added IH's move to it.

But I can't see a fleet of war suns anywhere in my homeworld?

You/Bliss are an unknown quantity. As such, you're viewed with even more caution and suspicion than everyone else. You actually start with a flagship and three extra command tokens but we took that away for this reason. It's only fair.

Ah so that's what's going on here, Bliss is using me to make you all think Mentak are too intoxicated with Hacan rum and Arborec spliffs to be of any competence while she stays an unknown until the very last moment when she makes me walk the gangplank and dashes to become the Emperor herself! Well thanks for revealing this to me dirtballs, now I might even take your planets after you and dispose all the waste and tufts of coughed up hair that you keep polluting the galaxy with, for the greater good of all of us.

Yeah! Get him Twelve!

(it's a good move, considering the other objective is so poopy)

Move one destroyer from Delta wormhole (beta wormhole, beta wormhole, blank hex, +2 movement from gravity drive and slipstream)

@IH: note you don't get Slipstream for ships starting in The Creuss Gate. Didn't matter here, because you only needed 3 movement to get the Destroyer to that space, though.

Also you didn't subtract a CT from tactical pool

[twelve]

Putting everra in my way and having the strategy cards not work out this round means not much I can do about anyone else blitzing to the center.

I have just realised that a) you are right about the Creuss gate thing and b)destroyers have 2 movement so I didn't need to waste a token activating the warfare secondary last round damn! Will update my most with CT etc when I get to a computer shortly

Someone please check if my turn is correct

@Morgoth tech secondary up for grabs

Khell's turn now

You should add Cruiser II to your technology list, as well.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the "complete trade with ____" notations, as it adds a bunch of confusion to the timing of trades (did the C/TGs transfer on gnaw's turn or yours? Were they 'in transit' between your turns? If someone stole forced you to reduce your TGs by half in-between your and Gnaw's/Khell's turns, how much would you decrease it by if the transfer is non-instant?) but that's just my opinion and others disagree.

Well I thought the commodities only become tgs by the start of my turn like I think you yourself said sometime earlier but I can put it away if you guys don't do it this way, don't really have that much time to look up how exactly should everything be listed in my game posts as I'm using all of it to figure out the technicalities(yeah yeah not a word) of the game mechanics so please point out any inconsistencies as it allows me to learn them much faster this way than looking it all up

edit: game thread post edited

Blend's mod, so I'll leave it to him to describe how he wants to do it.

In a tabletop game, and in the last forum game, any transfer of commodities or trade goods (or action cards, or promissory notes...) is instantaneous. So if you and Gnaw exchange trade goods, you would want to be very clear about on who's turn and when within the turn said instantaneous transfer occurs, while posting about it in 2 separate places muddles that.

Oh. I have an idea on that. Put the “initiate trade” at the very end of the game post below an

---

line.

[Khellendros]

Could someone clarify: Do racial techs count toward colour prerequisites for other techs?

Last game I had Sol and they have two unit upgrade techs so didn't consider this.
