How do you play with Seafarers and Cities and Knights?

It's a similar but more complex version of catan. If you love catan you will love having some new variations to mix in with your base game.

With Seafarers you just need to adapt the board setup in any way you desire. There is no set layout. With Cities and Knights some of the scenarios do not work well, but using the Fishermen and Rivers variants can add some new elements to the play. We often play with "Fishermen" in all variants of the game.

Yeah, I believe my game says that anyone can join if there are open territories that havent been claimed yet by other players

You MUST have a Steam account. Both games only work through the MIDDLEMAN of Steam, meaning that they emphasize On-line Multiplayer.

It does register a hit when a player places a peg in correct space for your ships. Sitting it up May be a bit difficult. You do hae to program the spaces where your ships are placed. It does not automatically register the locations of the ships

If you have that many people over, maybe you should pick up Intrigue. It'll have the extra cards for either two seperate games, or up to a 6 player game. If you combine the Victory cards etc. (The amounts are in the intrigue instructions.)But if that isn't a main factor for you, I prefer Seaside over Intrigue. Just got Alchemy so I can't judge it just yet. Seaside is more of a game changer. The duration cards are a lot of fun, and so are the victory cards. Like Island. (Worth two VP and you put it and another card away on the island until the end of the game. Nice for clearing out your hand.)So in short, Seaside might be good if a large group isn't the deciding factor. If it is, go with intrigue.

So I recieved the expansion as a birthday present from my father-in-law. I haven't tried it yet, but it contains several "mini-expansions" some of which should work with 2-6 players, but most of them come with extra pieces and there are only enough for 4 players. By the way, it includes the great river, fishermen of catan, and the event deck - all of which were available from Game Informer magazine. These new releases do differ slightly, though, and there are several other scenarios that look very interesting. I guess it would be a personal judgement call whether you would want to give it a try or not. After I've played a few of them, I'll post again on this feed.

Easy as eating pie. just place the pieces on the board, select level of play, and select "new game", then make your first move.

hey man i had the same problem except the only thing it gave me was colonization. heres whatcha have to do you. go to your c drive programs 86 and go to 2K games and click on file that says civ it should open you to the files that says complete, warlords, and colonization with the exes for the other expansions. though you might look around the files for a little bit but you will find them :D i wish ou the best of luck hope helped- Megaminecraft9

All countries have the following. Land units consist of, infantry, tanks, artillery, and AAA guns. Air units are fighters and bombers. Sea units are Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and transports. The game comes with cardboard cut out factories unlike other games that have the plastic piece factory. I found this unfortunate, but I was able to purchase plastic factories on line for a nominal cost. This game is really well thought out, and plays very evenly. Be ready to invest around 12 hours per game however. Hope this helps.

This expansion makes it where 5-6 people can play the original game only. If you want cities, knights or sea farers, those have to be bought separately.

I meant to add that you will definitely need to invest in a few core sets (2-4 of them), along with several expansion ships to have a big force on both sides but totally worth it and a lot of fun!!!

As far as scenarios, you have these options:1: Play a historical battle2: Play a quick battle, there's a set number of seemingly random fights.3: Using custom battle, select a map, settlement level, factions and soldiers, etc.But no, you cannot make your own terrain. I think you could download something from here though:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?121-Medieval-II-Total-War-General-Discussion

No. They are totally separate and independent expansions. Cities has a couple of it's own leaders so it further enhances the Leader expansion. They both enhance the basic game with new places/wonders and new guilds cards.

Try these two links. Hopefully one of them will give you what you want.http://www.ehow.com/about_5243480_electronic-battleship-rules.htmlhttp://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/battleshipadvancedmission.pdf

Depends whether you want to use the winning strategy. Took me 3 games to figure it out (and I wasn't trying to!). Never lost a game afterwards. Never played the expansions. Maybe that fixes the game.

Without the Pirate and Bounty Hunters expansion, the game is going to be fairly low-interaction with any number of players. So if you dislike that style of semi-solo play in other games, then you probably won't like it here either. You're mostly playing against the board, and the other player is just pressuring you to do it efficiently.But this aspect actually bothers me more with a larger number of players (where you have lots of downtime while a bunch of other players go), and bothers me less in a 2-3 person game.

Seafarers expands the original Settlers of Catan, 3-4 player version. If you want to expand the 5-6 player addition, you need to buy that extension for Seafarers also. I hope that makes sense!
