Someone commented on the rules-difference files that a few buildings were changed: <br> <br>1) Culture 1 changed from Paper & Stone to Paper & Wool <br>2) Military 3 changed from Stone & Weapons & Food to Weapons & Food <br>3) Politics 4 changed from Weapons & Cloth to Weapons & Cloth & Food <br> <br>Do you think this will make much of a difference? I'm hesitating to change this, because it's not just a matter of not using one component or changing a rule, it deals with the physical production of the game (the iconography). <br> <br>I've played it for the 1st time today, using the earlier rules. Seriously, what were they thinking when they changed the mine rule? http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/419059 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/419059 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:59:58 +0000 BrenoK File: Neuland:: Neuland magyar szabály <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/banz'>banz</a></p> Neuland magyar szabály for Board Game: Neuland ]]> http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43964 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43964 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:30:37 +0000 banz New Image for Neuland <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/MahatmaAndi'>MahatmaAndi</a></p>

I have never seen worse writing/explaining than the English version of the 2nd edition rules. <br>Have someone figure out what the rules really say (look at the player aids other folks created) ahead of time and then explain it to the other players over a few turns. Then restart a "real" game. <br>I think it is a very interesting game, but I don't understand how Z-Man let the English rules get printed without, apparently, having a native English language user read them. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3469221#3469221 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3469221#3469221 Sun, 17 May 2009 15:43:33 +0000 rmshay Reply: Neuland:: Rules:: Re: 3 Actions = 1 Food, can be used for buildings that require several inputs? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/verandi'>verandi</a></p> <div><font color=#2121A4><b>clearclaw wrote:</b><br><i>You are confusing transport costs with production costs.

The 3 action points spent "foraging for food" are not a transportation cost, and thus are counted in addition to the transportation cost for the sword. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3468986#3468986 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3468986#3468986 Sun, 17 May 2009 13:38:41 +0000 verandi Reply: Neuland:: Rules:: Re: 3 Actions = 1 Food, can be used for buildings that require several inputs? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/clearclaw'>clearclaw</a></p> You are confusing transport costs with production costs. The 3 actions required to invent food are not a transport cost, but a production cost. In the case you describe, producing the food and getting sword to the building will cost a total of 7 action points, 3 to produce the food, 3 for transport, one for the production on the new building. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3467006#3467006 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3467006#3467006 Sat, 16 May 2009 17:11:21 +0000 clearclaw Thread: Neuland:: Rules:: 3 Actions = 1 Food, can be used for buildings that require several inputs? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/verandi'>verandi</a></p> This question refers to the rule from the original version where you can, for 3 action points, produce and immediately consume a food anywhere on the board. <br> <br>Suppose you are using the building that requires a sword and a food as inputs. If your sword is three or more spaces away, then it seems by the above rule that the food need not be worried about, since only the longest distance is paid for and the sword will count as that distance. Since it isn't uncommon for the sword to be 3 spaces away, the food requirement is often negligible when using those two buildings that require food and sword as inputs (one of them which also requires a stone). <br> <br>Or is the rule that you can spend 3 action points to use a building that ONLY requires food as input? <br> <br> <br> <br> http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/407431 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/407431 Sat, 16 May 2009 13:43:59 +0000 verandi
