I gotta say you have SOLD this game to me! I was one of the original backers of the game some 5 Years ago and when I finally got the 2 MASSIVE boxes I was unsure of if I should keep it or sell it. but seeing you play and your energy and how much fun the game is! I've decided to crack it open and Play it!!! Thank you for helping me make this decision and you have absolutely gained a Subscriber
That’s awesome!!! I hope you enjoy it. I like the different character options. I know I have been playing with the core group, but the other ones look really fun to try. Have a great time as an Orc!!! And thanks for subscribing 😃😃👍
Awesome playthrough. Don't ever apologize for kicking butt. There's plenty of times it goes the other way lol. Gotta say i love the idea of lifesteal on anything that has some sort of counter attack.
Another great video of Orcquest. I did a little research and believe I found the order of all campaign/quests from update #47 and #84 from the original Maze OrcQuest Campaign. Abgral(Greedy & Doomed)=>Elven Vestiges=>Chapter 1 main=>Tarasque (Wings & Claws)/Sewer Fever=>Chapter 2 main=> Gargoyle(Wings & Claws)/Death Crypt=>Chapter 3 main=>Royal Mines=>Beast in the Woods=>Blood for Blood=>Cthul'Orc(Greedy & Doomed) hope this helps those looking for an order.
@@MeetMeAtTheTable That order hasn't be confirmed since ;p I tried to play it and it's impossible to finish Elven Vestiges with starter gear :( I played the first chapter of the main campaign and then Elven Vestiges. The expansion seems to have been intended to be played after the campaign :)
Upgrade the bow and enchant the sword. Great fun as always Bairnt Not your fault a patrol didn't show up. Those peasants sang like canaries and spilled the beans before they could arrive! Love daft little things in games like the squabble card! -Get out of the way, me want to attack. -He my hooman to squish, find your own! lol
Love these videos, your playthroughs are amazing. Also got to try the game today. First mission took way to many hours, but it would have been even more of I hadn't watched this beforehand. Rules: Not sure if it's been mentioned, but alert level increases as long as there are enemies still alive. On p. 32 of the rulebook it states. "Alert Level increases by 1 if at least one Alerted Enemy survives the end of the Enemy Phase."
That’s awesome glad I could help you get the game to the table!!! Thanks for catching that error totally missed that. Hope you enjoy your orc experience. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. More will be coming soon. I like your plan of upgrading the sword!!! Thank you for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Thank you so much. I’m planning to continue the adventure soon!! Not sure if I’ll be able to get a full campaign done but we shall see thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
I would upgrade Orris sword. Throw the enchant on the staff. Life steal. Also I would have stuck around and cleared out all the buildings to grab more loot. If patrols showed up they would just add more fodder to the krumpin and stompin. Weedy Umies.
Thank you for the suggestion. Love the life steal idea!!! I was thinking about sticking around but not sure how much that would unbalance the game. Maybe they account for that moving forward we shall see if that is going to be my downfall lol!!!! Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Great job looking forward to more. i just played core space first born awesome game my buddy killing my wallet lol . I know you would love it we have the same game taste. Thank you 👍
I just noticed that Mandar is only 2 spaces away from Dwayne at 28:40. So, he can't attack with the staff since it's range 3-4. :( EDIT: Also at 33:28 the peasant is only 2 spaces away. But, depending on how you read The Eye you get in Mission 1, maybe his range is now 1-6 or 3-6 or 1-4. LOL. Not sure how balancing would work, so maybe you could house-rule to make magic attacks work closer or father away but not both?
I went back and forth on if you kill the peasant in 1 hit, he can or can't give you directions to the capital. I ended up landing on the same side as you, 1 shot kills cant give info. And yet my mission was still short like yours. I got lightning 4 out of 5 peasants. And my corn field had a peasant x3 token with 2 more peasants. So 5 peasants in the field and the 3 rounds to kill them, they kept fleeing. So very lucky for me. As for the gear, i upgraded the Kunai on Mek because its a ranged 1-4 wrapon. Best weapon i have for Mek. For you though, id suggest upgrading a weapon so you roll more dice where it matters. Meaning either the sword or the staff so you roll an extra white die. Since the sword has accuracy 1, I'd pick it over the staff. Enchantments: Anything with damage mitigation or adds damage. I think I'd pick Indestructable and put it on Mek or Thalla armor piece when you get one first. Choose the character that gets hit the most (maybe Mek). Then Life Steal looks awesome. Would put that on Mek's blade. Then Slaughter for an automatic orange or red hit. Resistance looks good too but Indestructible is better IMHO. As for hypotheticals, if youve completed the main and secondary quests, can you stay on the map and farm peasants for more loot to then Kraft better items? I think this is where the game can get unbalanced. If you stick around to loot more. I believe you can also Kraft at the end of the turn. And you can carry more than your weight, you just can't move. So others can throw you materials to kraft. Also, once you kill Dwayne the Rock Lifter (😂 loved that reference) can he respawn? I say no, but maybe you only knocked his marbles loose and now hes got his 2nd, 3rd, 4th wind. I definitely think his special loot is a 1 time only no matter what. Anyway, sorry for the long post. I dont know what it is about this game that makes me like it so much. Maybe the pop culture references, ease of rules and play, or theme. Definitely the theme has me hooked over if the heroes were just Tolkien race types. But I really hope you continue on and/or Colin and you start up new heroes and a new campaign. Also I hope others are as into it as me so you get the views, likes, ans subs. Rock on! 😂
Oh, 1 more question. You got the Blue Eye of Isabella in mission 1. It says Range +2 for Magic Attacks. Does that make the staff's range change from 3-4 to 1-6 or only 3-6? I think it's now range 1-6.
Love the post!!! Yes Dwane I don't think would come back. It has been a blast to play and your Post was super fun to read!! Loved it!!! As for the eye I feel that would make it +2 to the highest range but the lowest would be the same. hope that makes sense the next mission will be coming soon. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching
@@MeetMeAtTheTable Aw shucks. I think you're right about the eye and staff. I really hope Mandar becomes more. I've used his healing spell once but mostly just use him for 1 damage cleanups right now. The other 3 are just so much more damage oriented that Mandar really feels like a healer in the whole trinity of hero classes.
I have a personal imposed rule of no farming. The game is supposed to be primarily stealth based so it seems to go against the theme. I imagine the orcs just trying to get the heck out of dodge once primary goals are completed... That kind of gives me an idea about house ruling something where next highest patrol enemies always appear after the primary objective is complete
@@loktar00 Yeah, I try to play them with the designer's spirit of the game in mind. And then my brain randomly has these game breaking thoughts. How are you liking it so far?
I dont think it matters that im colorblind, some of the shading is tough for the health icons and the alert tracker. Good thing my kids can figure it out faster than me.😅
I was wondering about that I know the attack dice have different symbols but the rest of the game is not that color blind friendly which I cam kinda sad about. I wish publishers would think of these things when they make the games. Good thing you have some backup to help you out with the colors :) thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching
Dwayne’s defence is red, the colours are a bit off in the rulebook but you can tell by the number of crosses/vine things on the artwork of the heart (sorry description was tricky). Still a great play through.
Wow his health is Red???? That's way to powerful at that level with the base characters there would be only two people that could even damage him. That's out of control. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching
@@MeetMeAtTheTable sorry this is my mistake, I dug out the quest book and compared it to the rule book and his health is orange. You played it 100% correct, my bad mate!….and yes red health would have been challenging!
Iv only played hell boy once with Colin. I really enjoyed that. I think they are quite different. So it’s hard to make a choice between them sorry I couldn’t help with that question. 😃😃👍
No one really does patrols on their videos. It "just happens" is total BS. If anything you should stack the cards to have patrols just so we can see it for a better example.
The first mission had the patrols. But they are not on all the cards so it’s completely random. I could stack the deck but I like playing the game naturally so I enjoyed it as much as I can. Sadly i do make playthrough videos and not everything is going to happen. I am glad people can learn from them, but I am not making a how to play video. I will be doing mission 3 soon and I’m sure something will happen lol!!! 😃😃👍
Great playthrough! Played the first quest tonight with my brother - it was orcish brutaaaal fun! Looking forward to episode 3! For the horde!
glad it was so fun!!! I am excited to continue this game mission 3 on the way soon

yes we all want to see how the soldiers really work
Same lol!! Going to move to mission 3 soon!! so stay tuned!!! thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching

I could watch you play this orcish game all day long 😅 you have the right energy on the table, like our group!
I would upgrade the sword 🗡
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. More will be coming soon. I like your plan of upgrading the sword!!! Thank you for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Looking forward to more the next few quests.
Yes I am recoding the next quest today and hope to have it up soon!!! thanks for watching
These videos are awesome! I’d love to see you do the full game with expansions! 😄
Thank you so much. I’m planning to continue the adventure soon!! Not sure if I’ll be able to get a full campaign done but we shall see thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
I'm playing this game tomorrow.
Sweet!! you will have to tell me how it goes!!!!
Another great play thru.
Thank you so much AlBundy!!! 😃😃👍

I can't wait for Maladum to get out to backers hopefully this is a game Bairnt will be able to do a playthrough series
Thank you I haven't looked into core space yet. I would like it I'm sure. Thanks Josetavares.
Dragontears I didn't back that game. Sorry :(

Thank you Tim totally missed that. Ill make sure to put a note in the video thank you for the help great to hear from you as always Tim!!!
Great playthrough!
Thank you so much.
Upgrade the bow so you have 2 grey dice. Soften them up before Orris goes in
Thank for the great plan!! I think that is a great idea.
Excellent!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Nice playthrough. I would upgrade the sword or staff. And then enchant the other one.
Thank you for the great idea Jumpman!!! Thanks for watching!!!
It’s a Kook-ree - not a kurkee! 😂
Thanks for the help I'll make sure to pronounce it better in the next video!! thank you
Enchantments upgrade once you do their objective plus spending another power stone. I don't believe they upgrade just for completing the listed task.
Thanks for catching that I just have missed that in the rules I’ll make sure to mention this in the next video thank you. 😃😃👍
The enemies in mission 3 have gray and white defense. It seems the white attack dice are a little less effective
Oh wow that sounds like it’s going to be quite a bit tougher for sure 😃😃👍
Mission 3 is insanely difficult.
Sweet!! That will be fun. Hope we make it though lol!!! Hope to get to it this week!! 😃😃👍
Bairnt has a plan, always! So no problem 😁
Hahahahah so true!!!!

If you would must choose one:
This or Hellboy The Board Game?
Iv only played hell boy once with Colin. I really enjoyed that. I think they are quite different. So it’s hard to make a choice between them sorry I couldn’t help with that question. 😃😃👍
@@MeetMeAtTheTable no worries, although... maybe you still can.
I'm actually referring mostly to about the combat system..
Which do you like better..?
Did you forget to roll the stun dice when Dwayne attacked thalla?
Yep totally forgot to do that thanks for catching that
@MeetMeAtTheTable wouldn't have made much difference even if she were stunned, you rocked that game.
Yes it was really fast.
