Excelent playthrough mate. Very well explained every step. I realized I'm doing a couple of things wrong when playing with this solo rules. I'm a mainly solo player, and I see you give some love to solo playthroughs in your channel, so you got a new subscriber :) EDIT: I see this is not a very active channel. I'll stay anyway. I'd like to watch the rest of solo playthroughs.
Wow, I'm SO impressed by your solo variant. I can't wait to give it a try! Just a question/suggestion : when Ibo rolls for choosing a new ADVANCE, why doesn't he give priority to the ones on his Civilization board? What I'm thinking to do : Ibo rolls 3 dice as per your rules, but before resolving the 3rd die he looks if there's any advance in that category that is a pre-requisite for an advance on his Civilization board. If there's one, he would select it (without resolving the 3rd dice). Do you think that would make sense?
Yes and no. The rules are designed to use the expansion, but for most of them it's not needed. Before getting the expansion I played several times without it. To make it work, you need to make some changes to the solo rules. Just ignore all related to Civilizations contents in the setup (and in everything related to placing units), and in the Ibo actions, move the gold symbol in the Cultural Influence action to the Found City action (which uses the pirate flag from the Civilizations Event cards), and I think that's it. You can play without the expansion.
Thanks for making this! Just got the game and this video helped me see how the game flows.
Fantastic !!!
Wish this was done for all games !!
Buying the expansion right away !!

Do I need the expansion to be able to play solo?

This expansion is so great
Agreed!!!
Dude. It's pronounced "Cavalry", not "Calvary". These are two completely different things
