Well, that's the risk Nyk takes. I'm just saying I wouldn't consider Nyk a NAP-breaker for future games if he chooses to attack the cultists with privateers in the next 12 turns.

Do what PB did and name the Privateer "Griffon"

I don't think griffon would work, they only have two moves so Thoth's cultist would normally be able to see one.

Pretty much it: if you can't find out who did it, then you're not exactly going to know if someone broke an NAP, so...

Which is how real life Privateers were used...

Erm, that didn't seem like the best thing to do. Even running Sacrifice the Weak (which Irgy is not) would take the city at least 9 turns to regrow. Why not slave out some more happy/health buildings?

It might get pretty hilarious if those privateers get mixed up.

Seems like quite a lot of naval action. 2 civilizations making use of overlords units, every civilization with optics and plans for a decent navy, island colonies that need to be defended for the Elves and Lanun and lots of important coastal cities for every civ but the Elohim.
EDIT: And I'll be interested in how it plays out because I've always felt the naval side of FFH was definitely the most underdeveloped.

Quote:something that might be of interest: the mines of Gal-Dur are located in Golden Igloo (formerly: Torrolerial), which happens to be Thoth's border city towards me. I don't know if I'll be able to take or raze it - it also contains the Bone Palace, which makes my collateral (fireballs, maelstroms) less effective - but if I can, that may help us in our efforts.
Wow, I can't believe that the MR bonus from the bone palace might *actually* matter in this game.
edit:
Quote:Something to note, the Bone Palace only prevents (or help prevents) spells with a resist chance. So that just means spells like Rust, Charm Person, Blinding Light are less effective (anything that can be resisted basically). This doesn't apply to summons or maelstrom, so unless you plan to rely on several resistible spells than Golden Igloo won't be too different to take than any other city.
Nevermind :/
