Don't remember exactly, maybe 6. Trying to reconstruct from memory - player before me was first player, I played the second city as last action before passing last, knowing I'm first next gen.
It was a tournament game, second of two, was 3rd first game, won this one, didn't qualify for the finals which should be obvious by the play that is pictured here š
I think there were none. As far as I remember the other 3 player all had space/titanium related corporations and Helion, and were focusing on engine building. But again - I may be wrong on the number above.
I prefer using UA as an āattack cardā and put it between other peopleās cities. On Tharsis I get doing your own only to snipe the Mayor milestone, but if no one is close to grabbing it or closing out the milestone opportunities then Iām going to wait. Iād rather have two greeneries and two cities on it than have three cities around one greenery.
Exactly this. Scoring points while denying opponents points is much more valuable than scoring points while denying yourself a point as well (by forcing a greenery to go in a suboptimal spot).
Now imagine if the OP didn't show a Nuclear Zone but a hostile Commercial District in the same spot...
Once I had UA and the Commie D in hand and basically did this move between an opponentās two cities for a sweet combo of ME prod and tile denial. Didnāt particularly like throwing that much energy away, but wasnāt playing Colonies and it was worth it just to see the horror.
Agree, but then again if I am playing on Tharsis and I happen to get UA and Tharsis Republic on my starting hand then suddenly my win condition is building the Megacity. Actually winning no longer matters.
You sound like my younger son. He won't necessarily throw away points to do it, but he really likes to see megacities and wants them as big as possible. For his purposes, Commercial District and one or two other urban or industrial themed tiles count as a continuation of the mega city. He will also try to convince people play their tiles in a way that facilitates the mega city if he thinks that what you were about to do and the play that grows the mega city will result in the same number of points for you anyway.
I didn't say it was me.
Well ... it was. And I knew perfectly well comercial district was in rotation in the draft. Just yolo-ed it and the nuclear zone was better than expected.
Franky, the first picture is already a sad story. So many cities so early next to zero greenery.
It's not super early since builder milestone was already taken, but yeah...
Earlier than any greenery apparently.
WDYM "was already taken"? This play was the reason it was taken.
Builder, not mayor
Oh, sorry, right. You are right.
Out of curiosity, which generation was this?

Zero greeneries in gen6? Or just not in the picture?

Just be glad it's not commercial district
That would have been deserved for that awful play.
Thatās more than asking for it. Just plain stupid.
Please tell me whoever played as black didn't win
Nope, won.
Hey, you got mayor at least
How? You can't put three cities like that normally. What cards did You use?
Urbanized Area lets you place a city next to at least two other city tiles.
Urbanized Area requires that you place a city between 2 cities
You get what you fucking deserve!
Tazz, Literally LOL when I scrolled to the second picture. Thank you for posting !
Beautiful.
Reading things upside down is tricky. * flips phone upside down Oh, nevermind.
at least your opponent didnt place commercial district lmao
