@minute 23:06 g Can Ego fortify in this realm? Rules says: Fortify is only allowed if opponent has no power of the realm. OR: Ego doesn't care about these rules?? 😂
Thank you very much for the video. I only recently started to gain interest in this game and the Ego rules seems like a bunch of thing to consider each time the bot would take an action. You have streamlined the though process in a way that it actually looks pretty simple to handle. Just a small question: at 33:56 you said you could absorb 4 willpower from the sphere but you only controlled one frontier, so it should be 3 willpower, right?
I like this (and the other Mindclash) game, though haven't played it in a while. The solo mode is something I really want to try. The video is helpful but I find that when terms are used incorrectly (there are several times when frontiers were called realms, or the cards (emotions) called "spirits" (which are the characters)) that might cause confusion. I am not saying you need to make no mistakes in such a complex game but is it possible to put in subtitles to clarify errors? Just a thought - thanks for getting me one step closer to playing this solo.
It's a good point. Thanks for the feedback. Colin includes Klingon subtitles sometimes for after the fact mistakes. I can try doing that more in the future.
I think you still would've won without the illegal quells? You would've taken other actions that would've earned fewer but still enough points. I can't think of any other soloable area control games with an AI opponent, but this one seems to do a good job.
On this difficulty setting, and with the combos I had in play, there's no doubt I would have won :) But it would've been tougher to advance the VPs so quickly, and there would have been more enemy emotions to oppose me in the scoring rounds. So the game would have gone longer, which probably would have benefited the AI. So I imagine the score would have been a LOT closer, instead of the doubling I had here.
such a beautiful game .....
G asa it is!
Thanks!
Did you eventually had a review for this one?
Or at least have a general opinion? :)
Jason here. I still love this one. Not everyone is a fan of tug of war style scoring, but this one does it really well.
Mike here, and I agree with Jason. The game can be complex to learn, and it isn't super quick, but it's great for competitive, solo, and coop.

Haven’t played the game in 4 years, so not sure, sorry!

I think you are correct. I probably forgot I had taken out the gloom and made that frontier neutral by the act.

This felt like a steamroll of the AI. Is that the norm for this game?
I would not say so. You can raise the difficulty easily.
This game seems like such a beautiful mess. There’s so much nonsense happening! 😅
How would you even go about figuring out what to do or what’s good?
It takes some time to get comfortable with it for sure!
