Homeworlds Settlers: Difference between revisions

* '''Blue ~ Upgrade/Trade'''. You can Upgrade or Trade the chosen Blue action piece or any bordering piece you own. To Upgrade a piece, replace it with a piece of the ''same color'' and ''exactly'' 1 pip larger, available from the Bank. To Trade a piece, replace it with a piece of the ''same size'' and ''different color'', available from the Bank. '''Clarification.''' If the Blue action piece is tradedTraded or upgradedUpgraded, the new piece in its stead becomes the action piece, and behaves as if it did not change: for all intents and purposes it remains Blue until the end of turn, and your remaining action pips are not affected. '''Note.''' If the piece you need is not available from the Bank, you can not use this action. Any piece you return to the Bank is immediately available for the next Upgrade/Trade, if you have unused actions. If you have 2 or more available actions, you can Trade AND Upgrade the same piece (in any order), OR upgradeUpgrade the same piece twice (to get a Large).

* The endgame may allow the use of Yellow/Red to conquer a few more pieces, and smart use of Yellow/Blue/Green to tradeTrade/upgradeUpgrade/buildBuild another few points.
