M.I.K.E: ty

Avernus: thats it

M.I.K.E: ok

Avernus: hit space to begin

Avernus: ok first phase is land grab

Avernus: store is far right

Avernus: has some stock to begin with

Avernus: river is best for food

Avernus: plains for energy

Avernus: mountains for ore

Avernus: bigger mountains are better

Avernus: here we go

Round 1 of 12

M.I.K.E: lol

Avernus: LOL

Avernus: i know its hilarious

Avernus: but the more you play the more you realize how good it is =)

Avernus: put power on your land first

Avernus: there is some food in store

M.I.K.E: only 1 mule per turn?

Avernus: you can buy some to make up for your short

Avernus: as many as your time allows

Avernus: and money etc

Avernus: prices are all dynamic

Avernus: space bar to place the mule once over your land

Avernus: get power

Avernus: next round

Avernus: change that mule to power

M.I.K.E: ? did i win?

Avernus: unless there is lots of crystal

Avernus: nah goes 12 turns before it ends

Avernus: LOL

Avernus: thats not good

Avernus: were both gonna starve this turn

Avernus: get food land next

Avernus: and turn your crystal into power

M.I.K.E: ok

Avernus: sell that

Avernus: wlk down

Avernus: walk down to store

Avernus: and sell it all

Avernus: crystite can ge stolen by pirates

Avernus: so if good price from store its worth selling usually

Avernus: fire really hurt us =)

Avernus: i have no power either lol

Avernus: im in last woot

Round 2 of 12

Avernus: well done

Avernus: LOL

Avernus: I love it

Avernus: you already know how to play haha

Avernus: LOL

Avernus: you can leave your ore now

Avernus: put power on the new one

Avernus: and food on river

M.I.K.E: :(

Avernus: see no time with no food

Avernus: food is cheap usually

Avernus: it also spoils

Avernus: energy you can stockpile

Avernus: only a bit spoils

Avernus: anything over 50 after a turn will also spoil

M.I.K.E: nice

M.I.K.E: doh

Avernus: also resource generation is random a bit

Avernus: sometimes low yields happen

Avernus: remember you can get bonus if land is touching on side

M.I.K.E: ya

Avernus: so 2 power makes 1 bonus for each

Avernus: 6 mules left in store

Avernus: and no ore

Avernus: 2 ore for 1 mule

Avernus: price will be high for ore

Avernus: if you let it go on anywhere but your land it will run away

Avernus: i came 107 points to beating the 5th guy

Avernus: but not enough =)

Avernus: and i could have won

Avernus: but i made a mistake late

Avernus: you can make mistakes early

Avernus: but late they hurt

Avernus: sell to 50

Avernus: dont keep more than 50

Avernus: it will spoil

Avernus: now you have extra power

Avernus: so take 3 plantrs and make them crystal

M.I.K.E: ok

Round 11 of 12

Avernus: ore is safer early in game

Avernus: cuz pirates wont steal

Avernus: but its a market so hard to make money at times

M.I.K.E: and crystal wins late?

Avernus: yep

Avernus: usually anyways

Avernus: unless someone keeps market prices on ore very high

Avernus: nice

Avernus: now on last turn

Avernus: we dont need food or power

Avernus: so im gonna put 1 power on river

Avernus: and rest crystal

M.I.K.E: awww

Avernus: fuckers

Avernus: its ok tho

Avernus: i should have 12 crystal mines

Avernus: and i might even win lol

Avernus: damn pirates

Avernus: no need to sell on turn 12 either

Avernus: game calculates assets and money at start

Avernus: convert as many energy to crystal as you can now
