Moon l Valkyrie - Full Solo Playthrough
Thank you very much ! I have to play often solo, and this is one of my favourite game. Very well explained.
@@TheEmo0407 excelente, Im glad it helped out. This is a classics that can’t be missed out.
loved your playthrough...this game is amazing! 10 out of 10!
Great Playthrough! Looking forward to Act III. Man you are doing videos of all my recent pickups! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much! Glad it's helping out. Should be out today.
Thank you for this fantastically clear demo. Don’t fret on the mistakes, we all make them! Deeply appreciate the annotations when you spotted them though.
Thank you for the kind words. Rules are important when recording, but you're right, having fun and showing off the game is just as important 😀
I've been thinking I may as well just remove one of the "Visit a house of life" tiles from the bot deck, since he always has to do that first anyway. You lose a bit of meta information on his last few actions, but that doesn't feel great to abuse anyway.
Yeah, his last action is obvious. I use them as another reminder of what turn we are in sometimes.
I found this very helpful and would love to see a solo playthrough. Thanks.
I appreciate the feedback! I'll add it to my list for a playthrough video.
Thanks for this playthrough, I love Aquatica but find the beat-your-score solo mode dull and repetitive. This looks much better and good to see it in action :)
Thanks for watching! My favorite part is competing for those tribe cards as the AI is depleting the Mantas
Wow, very usefull!! I will try this solo mode. Thank u!
Nice explanation video thanks!
Edge of Darkness is excellent. The common card 'river' and cube tower make it really interesting! Congrats on the new job 👍
Great video. I still think the automa requires too much effort for me to want to play this solo more than once. I wanted to point out that there was a couple of mistake that might throw others off - your income markers CANNOT progress/score beyond the leftmost deployed electrical tower/striped threshold marker (relevant for specialist card scoring). 28:32 and 29:11
Good call outs, thanks for the feedback!
Great Video. This is helpful as I just played my first 4P game and planning to play a solo game tonight. Subscribed.
Why is there no Yellow windmill on zone A2? or an electrical tower on the default zone?
Thanks, very instructional, just what I needed
Sure. If you could tell me the timestamp from the video I can review it and get back to you.
@@Castle4-1Games Found it, 20:14 I expected pausing it would say what timestamp
@@ElDocLoganah got it. I was trying to make the point of how majority worked and I exaggerated the example. Looking at it now I probably could have used another zone to make the same point. Apologies for the confusion, good call out!
Is that Shakira?
Yes, it is. My daughter’s favorite. Trying to have a broad variety in my videos 😁
@@Castle4-1Games weird it wasnt flagged or something for the DMCA, usually happens, and also it's too loud for me :(
Yeah, I had thought that too. Thanks for the feedback I’ll check volume next time.
Great video! Thanks so much. Tomorrow I'll try the solo mode for sure! Can't wait for it.
@@simonecolombo5928 Thanks for watching!Looked difficult at first, but after a couple of tries I started to get the hang of it. It’s a really fun and challenging automa.
Very clear and extremely helpful! Thanks for an excellent explanation!
Thanks a lot for this video. I play solo and just bought the game. Your playthrough is very clear, even if there is 2 mistakes of end points scoring, but it helped me to understand it. It was better than to read my french rulebook ! I think that this game will be in my top besides Dune imperium and Terraforming Mars. 😊 It seems to me that it is under estimated too. I don’t see a lot of reviews in France or playthrough.
100%! I had a lot of fun because it's not a complex game to learn and the solo mode made it easy for me to play it. I'm glad you got something out of it.
Very helpful
Thanks for talking about my game!
Yeah, I just came across it and this one has become a real fun and challenging game 😊
super great tutorial ! Thank you very much. Subscribed :-)
Thank you so much. This was a fun game to film.
U are using the automacards wrong. Nothing is correct what u are doing with them. U have lay them next to each other to see what they do and where. The automa passes when one of the bottom most cards had the pass symbol or with the last card. Sure u will win this way
Hi @koenj1000 you have landed on an "Unofficial" solo variant video. This is for folks that would like an easier way to manage the Automa using the existing components. If you are looking for the official Automa rules, I would suggest the links I provided in the show notes, or go on BGG. Thanks.
thank you!
Based on the Devir tutorial, I believe the starting claim tile should be available to be extracted also. The automa would then extract the starting tile then to the card. A bit confusing since you start with one brine already.
100% I did miss that during my presentation. Thanks for calling that out. There is that starting claim tile that should be used by the AI. It always starts from top to bottom. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video! If you remove the white foam blocks from the box, all the cards and tiles fit nicely in the narrow section of the box (I believe the icons printed on the yellow box divider show that this is the intent).
Ah, I just checked and realized I missed that. I think I let the foam get the best of me. Good call!
This game feels like it goes to fast. All it takes is to land on those creatures to advance the game timer. By the time I have enough resources the game is over or near the end.
One of things that I would do to prolong the game enough so that I could earn more resources was to avoid adding any of my villagers on any of the tracks that the AI had its villagers on. At least early on in the game. This prevents it from moving her villagers quicker, especially when it comes to the “invite a creature” track. Now, I know it will add two villagers and get off sooner but it still helped me in certain situations. The less creatures the AI can invite, the less it has to move the sun tracker and speed up the game, leaving you with more opportunities to score. Now this is easier said than done, but the less options you leave the AI, the longer time you have to gain resources. I also got my veterans on my own tracks as often as I could. Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.
Hello! Great explanatory video. Just an appreciation, the AI when it performs the repair action, it repairs 1 damage of each type. If one type is clean, it ignores it and repairs 1 damage the other. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback David. I deleted that small section from the video to avoid confusion, I called out the edit on the video detail section, and we have these comments as back up. Thanks for watching!
Lightning is horrible, sorry.
Thanks for the heads up! Will work on that.
Thanks for the partial playthrough, but in the future, I hope you'll consider recording and posting the complete game! Or at the very least making it clear in the description that this isn't a full playthrough.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback, that's a fair suggestion.
@@Castle4-1Games For the record, George, I'm only whining about the partial playthrough because I *really* enjoyed your calm and methodical delivery! It's a refreshing alternative from the usual hyperactive streamers. And since I tend to watch for the narrative, I'd love to be able to see the full games unfold. Thanks for the work you obviously put into these and I look forward to following your channel!
@@tomwchick1 That's amazing feedback, thank you. I'm new to this so I'll take in all the suggestions I can. I'm having a blast playing my games and learning from others as well - through these videos.
AGREED! And it's very simple to just add the word PARTIAL into the video title here. Common sense.
Good video, many thanks, very clear
Thanks
Thanks for covering genotype!! The solo design was done by Steve Schlepphorst. He did a fabulous job.
Thank you for taking the time to watch, and the feedback. Since my main focus will be solo modes/Automas, I probably shouldn't forget to also mention the designers behind them...LOL! 🤦♀
Do you select your character or is at random?
Since I play solo, I just select them randomly. But if you play multiplayer then I believe you select the character you want based on turn order.
@@Castle4-1Gamesthanks, we’re finding the rule book a little unclear at times. Your vid helped a lot!
Thank you very much for this great playthrough and for your toughts about the game. Some corrections about the progress cards. First, each card that has markers and you are not able to fulfill the requiremeent, you actually lose those points (this happens only in solo mode which is even more important in solo mode which objectives to trigger). Secondly, the last progress card, doesn't require 3+ points on military tiles, it requires 3+ military tiles. Since you only had 2, you also did not fulfill that one, meaning that you would lose those points. So actually, you should have scored 2 points for the second progress card, lose 1 point for the fourth progress card and lose 3 points for the fifth progress card. Which means that you would score -2 points in progress cards. So, final score should have been 14 Points ;) But apart from that, the playthrough was great. Thank you very much.
Excellent feedback! Thank you for taking the time to review. I had a lot of fun filming and playing this one.
Fab, thank you for this.
Thank you!! Like the game!! And the way you give the Instructions!!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!! It wasn't easy but it was fun
3:10 - you can get silver reputation cards in era 1, or gold in era 2 - they're just hard.
I agree, they can get tricky to get early on.
It is a very good game.
Agree! I can't wait to try the expansion (Valkyrie) next
I hope you do a short video about that too. No one else has covered it
