Only half...For the record, we got "B" below wrong. Only half points are awarded if you have a majority in a city, but not an absolute majority. This encourages other people to build a branch to close out your city and deprive you of victory points.<BR/><BR/><BR/>5. Assign influence points<BR/><BR/>The player moves any buildings he has placed in the center of a city to the next free space in <BR/>clockwise order in the ring around the number. If it is the first branch in a city, place it on the <BR/>space with the arrow. When placing buildings after the first, they must be placed in clockwise <BR/>order to keep track of the order they were placed. This may be important for scoring influence.<BR/><BR/>The player now checks to see if the he has the absolute majority of branches which can be <BR/>built in a city or if he has just built the last possible branch in the city.<BR/><BR/>A. The player has the absolute majority in a city; i.e. more than half of the possible branches in the city. The player removes the city marker from the board, moving the buildings to respective <BR/>positions on the city. The player places the city marker face up before him on the table. If he <BR/>still has unplayed city markers, he should be careful to keep them separate.<BR/><BR/>The player then moves his influence marker on the scoring track. He moves it forward a <BR/>number of spaces equal to the number on the city marker just removed.<BR/><BR/><BR/>B. The player did not achieve the absolute majority, but did place the last possible branch in the city. The players count to see which player has the most branches in the city. This player removes <BR/>the city marker as above, placing it face up before him. He moves his influence marker a <BR/>number of spaces equal to half the number, rounded down, on the city marker just removed.<BR/><BR/>If two or more players tie for most branches in the city, the player who first opened a branch <BR/>there (among those tied, check clockwise order from the arrow), receives the city marker and <BR/>the points of influence (one half the number on the city). <BR/><BR/><BR/>C. If the player did not achieve the absolute majority and the city was not filled, no influence <BR/>points are assigned.Ipecachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157560182505626755noreply@blogger.com
