The goal of the game is to conquer the entire map. This is done by taking over provinces using your resources. These provinces will in turn produce more resources for you.
Ordinary land provinces and sea areas cost 5 resources to take over and produce one resource each. Capital zones, which are marked by a grey border cost 25 resources to take over and produce 5 resources each.
However, if you are able to conquer an entire country as marked in the map, you will get an additional resource production for each zone. So if you have a country with 3 provinces and a capital, you will get 3 + 5 + 4 = 12 resources each turn instead of only 8.
Only areas bordering areas you already own can be taken over. These areas don't need to border your zones in the beginning of the turn, though. If you have enough areas you can take over a new zone and then take over a second zone which doesn't border any of your original provinces, but does border the new zone you've just taken over.
If you have resources remaining at the end of your turn, they get stored and carry over to the next.
To take over an area, just take the most recently posted map and colour in the area you want to take.
You don't need to declare war to take over another person's zones. If you have enough resources, you can just snatch them away. However, these zones will take more resources to take over.
Player owned land provinces will take 10 resources to take over instead of 5 and capitals take 50 resources to take over instead of 25. Furthermore, if the entire country is owned they will again cost twice as much to take over, provinces taking 20 and capitals 100 resources to take over. If a player owns an entire country and you want to take over multiple zones from that country in the same turn, only one will cost double to take over. So if you want to take over two ordinary provinces, you will only have to pay 30 resources seeing how after the first one he doesn't own the entire country anymore.
Player owned sea areas will always cost 20 resources to take over. This can not be raised in any way.
There are no alliances in the game either. It is every nation for itself. But it is possible to trade with any other player. Both resources and zones can be traded.
Resources take two turns to trade. If I have 10 resources remaining on turn 10, I can send it to another player. On turn 11 neither player has these resources, on turn 12 the resources arrive and the other player can immediately use them.
Zones are traded immediately and the other player gains its resources the next turn.
Every player starts with only a capital. If you want to join, simply pick any one capital city on the map that has not been claimed yet and claim it for yourself. If no more capitals are available, I'm afraid the game is full and you can't join anymore.
If you're eliminated from the game, you can join anew if there is still a capital free.
Aside from this capital, you don't start with anything. You have no initial resources or production other than the 5 resource production from your capital.

Reclaimed everything except Belgium and the Netherlands. So all things taken into consideration, I've lost 16 production.

Hey sprout, I think I have 25 more points than I should because you forgot to count one of the capitals.

Right you are. For some reason I thought you already owned Damascus. Thanks for noticing, things are getting confusing now with all the trading and conquering.

Hey sprout, did you get my production right? I counted it and I think it should be +33 = 9 (9 areas) + 10 (2 capitals) + 14 (full country bonus)

Well, there's nothing else I can use resources on, so I guess I'll start attacking stuff. | | Mymop |

The Netherlands is mine! And Sprout, I think you made a mistake with my production. From round 15-16, on the spreadsheet it says my production increased by 3. It should have increased by 5 because I also had 2 areas of Belgium, not just the 3 in the Netherlands. And I saw how you were trying to reach Russia by going north through Scandinavia, so that's why I took over all those sea spaces.

For the previous turn I counted everything from scratch again and I did it at least twice for every player. I think that if an error was made, I've given you too much production in the turn before that.
I have been a bit busy the past few days so I haven't had the time to recount it again and I won't be able to before the next turn starts, but I'll try to get to that ASAP. For now, just assume the current numbers are correct.
Now Mymop, I've eliminated your production bonuses for Russia, Poland, Belarus, Sweden and the Netherlands. Meanwhile Jazz has been able to expand with no problem. So we can keep this little scuffle between us going for a little longer, which will hurt you more than it will hurt me, or you can strike at Jazz being eating away at Turkey and Ukraine while I make sure he doesn't take over Italy while also attacking his smaller countries. Yes?

I counted my production, in total I think it was 156, adding with my 4 left over points to make 160, which is the number of resources I spent this round.

Alright Sprout, we can have a truce for now. I would like to keep the Netherlands though, and I will not attack Jazz. And as you seem to be invading Rocket I will give him Lithuania, since that was part of an agreement I made with him. And HB in case you're wondering why I'm attacking you it's because you took over part of Russia.

I have calculated the following productions for this turn:
Jell: 196
RG: 31
HB: 157
Mymop: 114
Jazz: 261
I have not yet calculated what resources everyone has left from the previous turns.

I have updated the Doc with all the information of the past two turns.
And Mymop, you have again spend more than you have. Because I was too late to catch it this turn, I have simply subtracted it from your next turns resources, but if I catch it again I will give you a full turn's income as penalty.

Ok, I'll return the two countries, along with the two sea spaces underneath I used to attack Jell. | | aych bee |

Sorry I spent more than I should have, but when I posted the Google Docs was not up to date, so I used the last number that was in the chart.
