Assuming that Hercules90 sent through his choice, of course.
I was - I actually suggested that none of the experienced players should be permitted to pick a Financial leader. However, that discussion went nowhere... and anyway, I've actually (to my memory) never played a Creative leader in a game with 10 or more players. That was (as hell_hound mentioned) on of my main reasons for my picking Willem. Plus I've never played as Willem on this kind of game either, of course. Also, I thought it might be nice to pick the same leader as hell_hound, so that he'd have someone to compare his game with. (Apparently everyone else may have had that idea though. )Whoa...FOUR Willems? (by the way Lord Parkin I thought you were going to pick a non-financial Leader.)
I'm happy to change if people prefer. However, as mentioned above, I wasn't picking Willem for the sole reason of keeping the Financial trait.Bah, uninteresting financial swine. To hell with you! Kind of hoping in less-serious game the more experienced players could try to ween themselves off that boring trait but whatever. Then again I probably hate financial more than most.
Exactly. It's like a super-Moai Statues in every city on the coast (and even some inland ones on rivers).They give +1 to all water tiles. That's very strong on water-filled maps like the one we're playing on. Also, levees can be built on the coast even if they aren't on rivers.
So are we ready to start?
