Good to see you back on Eldritch Horror despite that last disheartening loss. Syzygy beat me by one doom in my last game, so I'll be eagerly watching to see how you fare! Controlling Doom from progressing seems to be one of the most important things with this Ancient One, as the game is immediately lost if Doom hits zero (instead of the Ancient One awakening). Great luck on those Mythos card rolls there though, looks like an encouraging start... well, except for losing the Voice of Ra, which is really powerful with Marie because she doesn't pay the 1 sanity cost for the spell effect due to her special ability. That's rough because it essentially kills Marie's starting combo synergy, but oh well. Bad dice rolls and all. Also, just because you sounded a bit confused about it, Voice of Ra belongs to the new Glamour category of spells. They seem to be sort of persistent buff type spells that grant you some sort of bonus or ability, and you have a sort of maintenance roll on reckonings (instead of rolling and flipping the card every time you want to use it like other spells).
+Richard Chin Yes, I was pretty unlucky to lose that spell...the Relics on the other hand seem to be really powerful. I´m curious what I´m gonna find in the chest :)
Funny coincident, played the exact same ancient one with the exact same prelude card this evening, we won - yay! Our main issue wasn't doom, but a serious lack of clue tokens. Only two investigators got devoured. But it worked out in the end. That said I think that there should be a second eldritch token on red sun omen track - one from ancient setup and another one from the prelude card.
I like your Arkham and Eldritch play throughs. They are entertaining. When it comes to Eldritch though, I have a suggestion that I find to be the best way to play. You said you have Forsaken Lore, I suggest you play with all the cards from Forsaken Lore at all times. I like to think of Forsaken Lore as part of the base game. Always keep it in there. Then add or subtract any other expansions as you like. That's how I like to do it. It gives the original 4 ancient ones their full deck of 24 research encounters as well as the correct special encounters for Yog Sothoth's two mysteries. Gives you the standard 16 card location encounter decks, and a larger selection of mythos cards. Personally, I use every single expansion at once, and rarely use the side boards at all. I don't use mythos cards that have the ice symbols on them, and am thinking of trying only tentacle mythos cards. Hope to see more games from you in the future. You got some of the best actual game play videos on here.
I enyoy watching your playthroughs for quite some time and now have subscribed. EH is one of my favorites. Although this expansion is not available in Germany right now I'm very interested in how you manage this challenge. Good luck.
+Chemix Thanks...I´m glad you enjoy my videos. I didn´t have any problems to get the expansion here in Berlin, or are you referring to the German version?
+callasmar Yes, it's the German version I'm waiting for. My latest expansion is "Berge des Wahnsinns" (Mountains of Madness), which is really great. The game is getting more and more complex.
Im sorry dude. I got so mad about your decision of not improving Charlie's Influence. I mean, higher Influence on him means more possibilities of buying staff, and having them delivered to other characters. What can be better? (well spells, i guess). Ok, thats fine, im going to deep breath and keep watching it. Love the video though.
Always glad to see more EH. I have Strange Remnants and the next expansion, Under the Pyramids, on order :)
+Stasia Doster I´m also eager to get Under the Pyramids in my hands :)
I am a lover of all things Egyptian, so it is a must have for me!
I played this last weekend, that mystery is evil! you have to discard 4 clues, 4 spells and close 4 gates!!! So hard! Good luck!

+Gribb Yes, I know it makes things easier, so I´ll try to arrange the videos again in this way...
