Originally posted by huckleberryhoundFireworks generally start whenever the map starts to run low on Independents, though they could start any time. First turn assaults are not uncommon from what I understand. There will be wars any time now.
when do the fireworks usually start in these games, and do we get reports on battles between users that we are not involved in?
You get no automated reports of any battles except your own. You need to gather information via diplomacy (i.e. e-mails).
Originally posted by Bosse de NageYeah, thats kinda what you said yesterday. Freddies statement was conflicting a bit.
If a player controls it, you will have to go to war or be given it. If it is an independent province not owned by a player, you can have it. If it is owned by a player but "locally controlled", you can't.
Got it got it, cant grab. 😞
I've opened scouting info for everyone who is sharing with me at the moment.

Drow Assassins are Spies, as you can see in the rulebook. Your pair of Assassins have an effective Combat of 4 for the purposes of taking territory, which is less than 10 and therefore is not enough.

Originally posted by MIODudeNo, they have 40 Combat for the purposes of battle. The calculator is correct.

Divide by 10 if they're invisible (can they go invisible?) otherwise you are correct, MIODude.
They can indeed go invisible, but they still suffer the inability to conquer easily if they are Spies whether or not they are invisible at any particular time. It's a balancing rule to keep people from sneaking past enemy lines and grabbing land easily. It can still be done, you just need large bands of Spies.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageDunno if I'm one or not but will check in a few days - just got to a computer after arriving back in NZ and was only allowed to download the diploware briefly to make my next turn (paranoid friend's computer!) if I promised to delete it immediately - which I just did.
Would all those I am sharing scouting with kindly ensure that the favour is returned, as I am not receiving from everyone. Thanks.
Back home in a few days! 🙂
Man, my last turn sucked! 😀😀😀 Have to ask my warriors to put their armour on before their next fight!
