Here Languish Stands game thread

[Habbaku]

Hey, don't blame me for that one! It was supposed to be played by France and I had to agree to play it when I got a card draw.

Pirate Haven was my deal, though. Way too cheap, I might add. But then I warned that I'm a noob.

How was it cheap?

Because it gave you 8 cp worth of stuff without you having to lift a finger.

4 cp but the real value is that now taking Algiers is not enough to get rid of pirates.

Taking Algiers is never enough to get rid of pirates anyway.  You may always build corsairs in any Ottoman home port after Barbary Pirates has been played.

It's not a fortress, it's a pirate haven counter.

  "It's not a regular, it's a 1 CU counter!"

[Solmyr]

Pirate haven = fortified.

[Viking]

Pirate haven = fortified.

seriously?

[Solmyr]

Once converted into Ottoman pirate havens, these three spaces are considered to be Ottoman home spaces (with a fortress present) for all purposes. The only exception is that the Ottoman may only construct one type of unit (corsairs) in these spaces.

sweet...

I think my problem here is that I've played the game often enough to think that I don't need to re-read the rules.

[sbr]

Is there a reason my VPs didn't go all the way back to 18 (where they started) after the canceled debate?

[Solmyr]

I think I mistakenly gave you 14 religious struggle VP instead of 13, so yes you should be at 18 not 19.

OK CB is kicking my ass again.

I cannot figure out how to:

Remove the Independent unit counter from Florence
Remove the Marker for my 3rd Key on my Power Card
Find the square control markers to mark Florence for myself.

Help? 

I did move my St Pete Marker and my VP marker to their proper spots.

[Solmyr]

1.Drag it into Military Units - Independent tray.
2.Drag the square marker from the power card into a temporary tray (such as Control Makers - Papacy) and then drag it from there onto the game map. The square counters are specifically limited in number so you always drag them between your power card and the map to mark control of keys.

I'll do these in my next file in a sec.

It's Ottoman impulse.

So easy, yet so hard to figure out.    Thanks.

Sbr actually has one more cp to spend; he doesn't have to spend a cp to flag Florence.

I'll put a Merc in Rome.

or just open the the map and power card windows parallel to each other and drag the counter.
