Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Ah, it's a pity I'm not a newbie.
Realize, all of you, the high standards to which the name of this game requires you to adhere:
Quote:
When I come up from round the Horn
I find a gal what makes me beam
She'd hold me in her supple flippers
Darlin' lady of my dreams!
Oh Manatee, sweet manatee
Your moustache bristles tickle me
In places no one ever sees
My soft and lovin' manatee!
I found her bobbin' in the surf
Her briny smile enchanted me
We hauled her up and gave her lovin'
A buoyant lass you would agree!
Oh Manatee, sweet manatee
My buxom bovine from the sea
Won't you come and marry me
My warm and flaccid manatee!

Alright, I'll admit it. I don't like manatees. They're the retarded cows of the sea.

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Oh whoops. I have to admit I got confused and thought a manatee was a monkey.
The crowns on some of the provinces are "victory points", although since we're not playing for victory points they won't give you victory. They do have some value though - if you control a crown it will produce a candle for you each turn.

Wow, getting a hurricane on your capital on turn 2. I didn't even take misfortune. How... unlucky.

Yeah, it happens sometiems even with luck scales.
But do not worry. To keep the cosmic balance Pangaea has got a hero (see the prophet) on turn 1!  |
