PBEM 5 - Lurker thread - No players!

From regoarrarr's thread:



He has visibility via the water tile seeing over the neutral water tile, right? Does that mean planting one tile towards the center, like darrell did, will miss the gems? If so that's a pretty huge change.

I think you're correct. If the city is 1E of of this Columbus, the water tile 1W of the clams will not be in the city borders, and that is the only tile that can see the gems.

Need convincing over here.

Why doesn't ownership of the clam tile enable visibility via the diagonal?

For instance, in the same screenshot, the ice tile is visible in the South.

It just doesn't, that's the rule. The counterexample in that same shot is the tile 1E of the clam, which cannot see the land tile 2N of it. (The forest on the intervening tile is not relevant.)

Ah thankyou

I got it now.

Aaaaaand while I was typing those posts, darrell already played and it's back to me already

If darrell's hope is to play so fast that it prevents me from making (multiple) posts for each turn, he's obviously failing

I'll post a screenie later - exploring warrior found a Rice.

Seriously, the guy is a force of nature.

I don't get how/why these 2 are different.

One shows via the diagonal and the other doesn't. What gives?

And for Darrell:

Thanks T-Hawk.

My question was really referring to pb's example of why does rego have visibility on the ice tile. I had concluded the ice tile was the southern equivalent of the tile 1E of the gems. Your illustration forced me to look closer and I realized they are not the direct inverse of each other.

Man, lol if regoarrarr "mistakenly" planting leads to him spotting the best tile in the game and winning. I really should have just put the gems 1S. I actually intended the initial warrior choice to determine whether the player moved towards the middle (and hence more land) or spotted the cows, which I thought was an interesting what-if.
