Just picked up HLAS and love it! Excellent Tutorial as always Sir! Small notation at 4:07. It actually "counter"clockwise. And as always, thanks... for posting. ;)
Right you are - good catch!
If everyone explained board games like Rodney did, everyone would be playing more board games.
His personality, friendliness, and humor always makes it feel like you're hanging out with a really good friend doesn't it?
Very kind of you to say Dee!
I'm new to this channel but his enthusiasm is contagious.
So nice to know you're enjoying James - welcome!
You won't find a better "how to" channel! 😊
@@mrmaybe79 yeah, I always look for him first. I don't want jokes, I want to play the game, his professionalism is appreciated.
Please do a play through video for this one. I want to understand why the great reviews and I really enjoy the back and forth with you Luke and Pep.
We'll see! Luke likely won't be on much - he's a full time student now, so he's pretty busy!
Even if it's a 2 player, you're play throughs as so helpful to decide of a game is worth buying, especially pricey ones like this
Neat, the Orc vessel is a giant alligator with seat belts :)
I hoped people would catch that :)
@@WatchItPlayed My wife called it the roadkill-mobile 😅
You, my good sir, have caused me to want almost all of Gamelyns library of games. Keep it up, you are excellent at what you do.
Glad you've been enjoying Jared :)
One of my most anticipated games this year. I would love to see a playthrough as well.
I just played this game. And personally I strongly dislike it. Too many unnecessary rules which isn't all that clear. It has combat but it's very constrained. Rules easy to be break to get victory points like casting spells which strangely gives you victory points. Basically just control your continent and never leave and collect resources and cast spells to win.
Flawless explanation! Thank you!
Very kind of you to say!
Man, you really teach games awesomely!! thanks, man!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words!
Woow, such a great board game.
Reminds me of Heroes of might and magic series
Glad you enjoyed what you saw!
Excellent explanation, thank you.
You're very welcome!
I finally got my hands on this game, your video is a life saver. Thanks Rodney.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
could you tell me how long the gameplay for 4 players??
Excellent video! Great work!
Thank you Gabriel!
Thank you! Great review. Lion Rampant is shipping Heroes of Land, Air & Sea to retailers now.
Glad you liked the tutorial!
Thank you sir, you made this much easier.
Have fun playing!
Undoubtedly a good game.... it's going to be significant to next generation games if it's good as it seems.... Mage knight provided strategies for turns ... here we have combat strategies.... Hope I find someday good strategies for real life, Rod helps me a lot with his tranquility
Kriya yoga. Works for me.
Cant wait the game to arrive....
Hey Rodney! Love your videos and you've helped me a lot to ease the way into some games!
Quick question: What kind of glue did you use for the structures?
If I recall, it was just basic, white elmer's glue.
Over a year later when I have the game to see a seemingly effortless explanation. Very thorough and easy to understand! Always enjoy your tutorials Rodney, hope to get to see you play more games with Luke on the channel. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
That looks amazing!!! TO KICKSTARTER!!!!
Thanks for checking out the video Darren.
Hey Rodney! Just curious, for the sake of not having to comb through your amazing 30 minute how-to, what was changed from the previous video?
Thank you as always for your awesome content! Can't wait until my copy arrives!
Hey Scott - it was the rules around moving from one sea region to another sea region on the opposite side of the board. Basically, from a corner, you can move to the other two corners on either side of it, but not to the diagonal one.
Ah, okay! Thanks for the response!
I actually remember thinking that was an interesting choice considering that the real world is typically portrayed in such a way that crossing horizontally loops you around, but the diagonal seemed reasonable from a gameplay perspective. Obviously, for symmetry on a game board, allowing for travel to both horizontally and vertically opposite sides, as opposed to just horizontal as a typical map, is necessary. The diagonal method keeps that symmetry too.
Relatedly, the world of Heroes of Land, Air & Sea is apparently a donut shape (a Torus, in math terms) with the mapping as stated. Here's an image that might help with visualizing it: www.learner.org/courses/mathilluminated/images/units/4/1615.png
Heh, well there you go - learn something new every day :)
Thanks
You're welcome!
Hi Rodney, it was awesome to get a picture with you at Spiel.
Q. Will you be doing play through video's of this with Luke
Thanks for the interest! I avoid pre-announcing games we might play as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint.
Looks fun, very Warcraft. From this video, it looks like the board may become very crowded. The regions are small and all of the units/vehicles/structures seem to take up a lot of space. And that is just for one player's components! Do you find this to be an issue during game play?
It helps that you can't have more than 5 units per space, unless it's a fight, and in those cases, it's just a short period of time that you have the space crowded.
Beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed!
I mean, he's a good looking guy, but beautiful?
:-D
Lol
Really looking forward to getting 2nd Edition with all the add ons this year.
Hope you have a great time with it Rob!
Thx Rodney
Great video as usual, I picked this up about a month ago, wasn't able to play with anybody because of events, do u think under the circumstances you would do a solo video? Would love to still give it a try
Hey Ryan, my shooting schedule remains packed, so I don't really have the bandwidth to add other new types of content right now, but hopefully with knowledge of the multiplayer rules, it will make the solo rules much easier to pick up.
Looks pretty cool!! May just check this out!! Thanks Rodney!!
Thanks for checking out out Frank!
Watch It Played you bet. I love your show. We play a lot of games, and your show has really helped us make great choices on games. I got your six!!!
Do you like more Blood rage in compare to this ?By the way, great videos, thanks for the information you put in.And may I ask wich is your favorite game?
Thanks for the kind words! I avoid reviewing or recommending on my tutorials. Everyone has different tastes and what I like might not be the same as someone else. I prefer to just show the games and let you see which ones fit your particular tastes.
Hey Rodney, great video! I'd like to ask - will you have on your show New Angeles boardgame?
Hey Robert, thanks for the interest. I avoid pre-announcing games I might cover as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint.
Ok, I understand, thanks for response :)
Hey rodney, great video, what is the game length with varrying number of players?
About 30 min per player
It'll depend on the group of course, but they estimate 30 mins per player, and that feels about right once everyone knows the rules.
My wife and I got to play this a few months back. There were 3 of us at the table (of 6) that were first time players. Took us I believe just under 3 hours. By turn 2 or 3 we were good with rules and my wife has NEVER played a 4X game.
Can you review Civilization a New Dawn please? I haven't seen any reviewer better at explaining games better than you! ...although the SU&SD crew comes in at a close second :)
Thanks Cesar, I avoid pre-announcing games I might cover as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint.
Do other towers count for the marching distance to a new tower? e.g. if one of my towers is closer to the new tower cite than my capital, would I add 1 for the adjacency between the capital and my tower, and then the distance between my tower and the new cite?
Sorry Dr Sammy, I'm not quite following the question.
A quick question about the conscripts combat card. It has an * as a combat strength. Does that simply mean that you'll gain a variable combat strength because you move more units into the battle? Or does the card itself provide 1 strength per unit you move (and pay food for)?
You get the strength of the units you moved in, plus 1 victory point per unit moved in.
So the card itself does not add strength? It just feels counterinuitive that they put an asterisk on the shield in addition to the food cost...
I can understand the confusion, but the explanation for the asterix at the bottom really is just for the victory points. The asterix at the top just represents tat you're gaining an unknown amount of strength based on how many and which units you move in. I've confirmed this with the publisher.
Watch It Played It would probably be better if the shield said zero like the Fight card. But thanks for clearing that up. Official answers are the best. :)
my dad, his frends always watched you and they made a watsapp chat for them and its called rodneys heroes XD
lol, I'm very happy to be a virtual part of their gaming :) Please say hi to them for me!
4 years and counting and I’m still waiting for Rodney to do a play through of this great game….Cmon Rodney, show us how it’s played.
No plans to do a play through. Went through a period of time where I wasn't able to do as many game plays as I was doing tutorials, but now that the team has grown, we're getting those going again.
@@WatchItPlayed does that mean it’s still possible to see a play through? Seen as the Kickstarter was a huge success, two big box expansions, plus mercenaries to add…no play through video has all that added. Plus you guys do a great job.
@@Danwants2watch Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: th-cam.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/w-d-xo.html&t=342 (which applies to game plays as well).
@@WatchItPlayed yeah, that’s a fair point and I understand your reasoning. It’s also a polite way to tell someone “NO” haha. Thanks for your time mate and keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏼.
Question about playing tactics cards in a battle. You mentioned that players get the victory points on the card they play, but they do not if the card is cancelled? So if I play conscripts and my opponent plays first strike, then I get no victory points?
That's correct!
Watch It Played I scoured the rulebook, but couldn't find that rule anywhere... Is that from a FAQ or update on bgg?
I consult with the publisher on the video, to get answers to questions I had come up when preparing - so the answers are not always documented anywhere else than in my correspondence with them.
Watch It Played ahhh. Okay great. I'll make a recommendation on the kickstarter to include that rule in the second printing rulebook. That makes your channel that much more indispensable when your videos have more accuracy than the rulebook! Thanks for your passion in the hobby and for your professional and comprehensive videos!!
The card says it "cancels". You can't get points from something cancelled. This might be relevant for an FAQ, but I don't see why it would be added to the rulebook, when really its already there on the card.
16:35 Because it's a round planet.
1. If battling with Vessel with units on board, and vessel loose. Vessel return to player supply. But what about units on board. Can I choose units on board for taking damage instead of vessel?
2. How count Vessel with 2 units on board in region, like one unit or three?
Thank you.
So sorry, I normally do my best to answer rules questions that we receive, but I've currently loaned my copy out, so I don't have it handy to look these questions up in the rule book for you. If they aren't in your copy, you may want to check on BoardgameGeek's forums and ask there.
I would like to see a game where you, pep, ur 2 childrens, Andrea & lucky Luke play together
Ah, thanks for the interest. Both my kids are in school full time, and Andrea doesn't live at home now, so no kids on the show for awhile :)
Hello. Why I can't turn on the subtitles for this video? (also the automatic subtitles)
I’m really not sure!
If players follow a tax action, can they select something else and do they only get 2 if you choose 4?
Hi, I shot this tutorial long enough ago that I don't recall the answer, and don't have the game to be able to look the answer up for you - sorry!
sir also do mention the price of product
thank you
Hey Pavan, I never mention the price of the product, because there is not one price. What you can buy it for today, might not be what it is a month from now. The price will also be different depending on where you live. The best thing is to look it up, based on where you shop.
is there a solo variant for this game?
Hey Mark, this is a 1-4 player game.
If you cannot pay the cost of tatic card it combat value is zero and you gain no VP points. But my doubt is.. The other effects of the tactic cards still counts?
No, they don't count.
@@WatchItPlayed thanks!
Hi Rodney - I have a mild form of ADD. I know this may sound silly to some, but I (and a few others who have it that I have spoken to) have problems with the way your videos seem to be edited.
You appear (and I may be wrong) to cut out the natural pause that you would find at the end of a paragraph - where you finish one idea / rule / mechanic, and move onto the next. This causes us to have no time to digest the idea, before you have moved onto the next one.
In normal speech that pause, albeit small, is enough for our brains to sort the new idea into a box / category, (filled away in a memory area), and prepare us for "ready to learn next idea" mode. When you remove the pause, our brains are still working out what to do with the idea as you are midway through the next sentence.
Your videos, brilliant though they are, could sometimes be compared (for me and others like me) to a "wall of text" and its very hard for some of us (and it is I presume a very small number) to digest what you are saying.
It could be argued that I could try and pause the video of course, but I often am sitting with the game in front of me, and the TV or laptop behind it out of easy reach. By the time I have lent over to hit pause that distraction has made me forget what I was trying to learn :)
Please don't take this as a criticism - I do enjoy your very helpful videos - but if you could leave a few seconds more before paragraphs this would help me, and others like me, to get even more out of them.
Thank you for your time spent making the videos
Regards
I really appreciate that you brought this up. I think that the longer both Pep and I work on editing the videos, the more we become accustomed to hearing it at an increasingly faster pace. Looking back at older videos, I can definitely tell the speed at which I talk and the pauses between points have sped up significantly.
Despite trying to find the right pace, we sometimes do clip a bit closer than necessary - we’ll try to add some micro adjustments to the spacing moving forward. Thank you for the comment!
Thank you, I look forward to learning more from you :)
Is heroes of land, air and sea better or kemet? Considering heroes of L.A.S. is more expensive, has more expansions, has less drafting (unless you get the nomad/siege/mercenary expansion), has more variable player powers, more factions, exploration, heroes, solo rules, short game length while kemet is cheaper, has less expansions, more drafting, less variable player power, no factions, no exploration, no heroes or solo rules, longer timeframe etc. Please let me know.
Hey Zinnat, I can't help with that quandary, as I do not review or recommend on this channel. I don't feel I can say for someone else what games they will like or dislike. I talk a bit about that here: th-cam.com/video/p0Lv8LHadMc/w-d-xo.html&t=10m55s
Watch It Played I know but considering some limited cash, I thought I should ask an expert. The Dice Tower does recommend games, but they don't reply to comments all the time. BGG forum, again, my laptop's busted, so....yeah. Look, with 200 bucks max(most likely less, 150 bucks min), I wanna buy Tiny Epic Quest, Kemet/Heroes of L.A.S, Star Wars Rebellion + expansion /878 Vikings + expansion. Just a little advice helps. I know why you don't review games, but, I really need some help. Thanks for replying anyway. Great video, as always. Take care.
Thanks for the kind words. All the best in your next gaming purchase!
Watch It Played You're so kind. Doing a playthrough perhaps could help me make up my mind.
This is lengthy as...
Looks like a game that would take ages to play, may even as long as it takes to pack up and set up. 5hrs later...
Thanks for checking out the video! The game quotes 2-3 hours on the box. So it's definitely on the longer side of games.
Well long games aren't anything new to me. Shogun and World of Warcraft the Board game to name two I own. Because they take forever in playing as well as un/packing they haven't seen much daylight. It's a pity. They are wonderful games, just not everyone can sit around that long on one thing.
setup and pack up are quite quick. Quicker than RIsing Sun that's for sure. With one or more slow players play time can drag on
