Commenting on TH-cam videos is almost always a total waste of time. But even if it is here I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your hard work. I have edited game instruction videos before and hard work is exactly the word to describe it. I have read the rules to EU and I am going through scenario 1-1 playing all 4 to learn in my basement as we speak and the problem is you don't know what you don't know. Watching your videos at least gives me a second set of eyeballs on the rules AND far more importantly their complete implications for game play. I will watch all your videos, bravo sir.
Glad it will help! I think the best way to play this game for the first time is if *everyone* at the table has thoroughly read the rules. That way you at least have 3-4 'copies' of the rules in various people's heads so it's harder to miss stuff >_
I respect the way you play - keeping it fun, not taking yourself too seriously and a perfect balance between explaining withou over explaining. 5/5 would watch again.
I didn't expect this video , The Computer Game that inspired from Boardgame , then was made Boardgame version , then made Tabletop Simulator version . lol
Great video, I just played the first round of the same scenario myself, and I learned a lot by watching this! I caught a few mistakes, but then you or Saj caught them also. Very helpful, thanks!
Only discard the focus for the age if it's actually used as a "Focus" action. If the first option was legal, the card stays in the draw for next round.
Another thing I forgot earlier. When calculating MC, count Adjacent Provinces too (unless blocked by something), so >Venice should get 6 defending Units, not 4 (definition of MC is on page 22)
Subjugate was never paid for so the 2nd trade wouldn't have happened. Also Austria would have excommunicated the Dutch because they have Papal Controller via tie breaker.
From 13.4, section NPRs with additional manpower - "Each +1mp token also counts as 1 extra Tax Value for the Province for the purpose of Resolving Peace, calculating an NPR Ally's contribution in a War, and for Subjugation. Sieges are not affected by these tokens. Such a token is simply removed if the Province is Annexed or Vassalized by a PR."
Ah well, we'll play it as it lies. I'm trying to move as fast as possible to keep things interesting for the stream, but it's hard to not make mistakes that way! I'll try to pay attention to paying for things before doing them.
Great video! I noticed one small thing that wasn't already corrected: Bot cards that are not reshuffled should be removed until the next age, just like the ones that were used for Focus Action
You cannot make a vassal with subjugate only with a Royal Marriage. Also some focus action, you moved the cubes to the wrong place. It is a complicated set of rules.

Thanks! That's the balance I'm trying to aim for. It's not always easy!

Thanks for this, had a hard time wrapping my mind around the bot mechanics but this really helps out!

1:04:17 Twice now when resolving the bot's Focus event you've put the cube both on the focus and on the Spent counter.
Super video :-) Question-(40:30) what if 1 option was legal and Focus (eco) was not used, should the focus card still be discarded this age?

@@Bridger15 thx
Love the video!

Yup, forgot about that, doh!

You should have an additional manpower from the +1 manpower token that was on that province.

@@Bridger15 Also, I believe Teutonic Order was not your Ally when you played the Subjugate card ;)
@@Bridger15 Yeah I just caught this when I got home. I was having a hell of a time finding it on my phone, my bad.

Oh dang, I'll fix that for next time then. Thanks!
