Ok - I have messages on two different forums, so!

Denn Grylls bids 13.

Greedy Nobles bid 9.

League of Frightened men bid 9.

So, interesting.

We all get to pick one in succession. I go first, then League (culture breaks ties), then Greedy Nobles.

I'm going with Artillery. (My preference choice will be Artillery, Cavalry, then Infantry)(Hurrah for Ranked Choice Voting!)

{3 artillery, 2 cavalry, and 8 infantry remain}

Cavalry.

It is possible that I am actually quite insane. My apologies.

I posted that there were 14 units available - 4 artillery, 2 cavalry, 9 infantry.

Well, that's clearly nonsense, since it adds to 15.

I then went back and looked at the random numbers I rolled in the discord, and cannot understand how I came up with the numbers I posted at all. But we'll go with it, except that there are only 8 infantry available, not 9. Sorry.

For the rest of my units, I'll take artillery, cavalry, infantry in that order.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular

I, too, wish to take artillery, cavalry, and infantry in that order. So my first unit will be artillery.

Then LTD and I take artillery. GNIP takes cavalry.

LTD and I get 3 infantry and GNIP gets 2. I think.

Sounds right.

Are you guys in cahoots?

League gets first choice, then Greedy Nobles, then Denn Grylls.

My preference is Milita, Village, Culture, then City.

Please prepare orders for Autumn...

My preference is village, city, Militia, culture.

My preference is City, Village, Milita, Culture

So:

@Bertie Wooster gets Village, Village, Culture+1
I get City, Culture+1, Culture+1
@LTD gets Milita, Culture+1, Culture+1

Right?

Ok.

Just remember that a city needs a village to replace, and you can’t build a city in a difficult terrain province.

So GNIPS you might not want a city.

Oh, that's what those lightning bolts mean? I had forgotten. In which case yeah, I'll take Village over City, so Bertie and I swap a village and city in my layout above, leaving:

@Bertie Wooster gets Village, City, Culture+1
I get Village, Culture+1, Culture+1
@LTD gets Milita, Culture+1, Culture+1
