Questions - Diaspora IV

[YK - Yuri Khavlor]

Navigation already does something... sea as a terrain type could work, I guess.

Is permafrost a valid terrain type this game?

Perhaps change permafrost to 'Parts unknown' as a catch-all for off map and sea zone adventures?

Or perhaps Terrain mastery Coastal, would apply to any seazones and provinces along a Sea coast. Would remain useable even after exploration phase completed.

[DM Juan]

Coastal for coastal waters, deep sea for the deeper waters - maybe. It would probably eventually stay relevant for naval wars.

Can I block settlers with military units?

Yes, if you position a military unit in an unclaimed province that you have explored, and the unit arrives before the other party's settlers, you can prevent them settling the province. Your unit will be subject to attrition checks, and you cannot modify those checks without using a "declare war action" to support them with your leadership.

Build Speeds:
Fast: d6+3, 2 wasted (net increase of 3GB per turn at a cost of 5GB)

When it comes to speed building shrine, Am I paying the acceleration costs in GB or RP?

[TF - The Fortress]

RP

[RaH - Rassan al Hamam]

Wasn't the range min 1 and otherwise equal to the shrine level? So the first level of shrine would not impact the range.

[WM - The Waste Mage]

You can act in your province and in every province or sea zone it borders. Then when you build a shrine or put money into court like the old games you increase it by 1 for each shrine level or for each GB you put into court.
So no shrine and nothing in court you can act in your province and any bordering province. To act 2 provinces away you need +1 for Shrine. 3 provinces away you need +2. And so on.

Are academies special buildings like 2 rounds ago or free ones like last round?

[DM Juan]

Academies were special buildings last round, I think it was a free building for Priests of Moradin

[RaH - Rassan al Hamam]

I guess I was a priest of Moradin last round
