Yeah. He should really do this playthrough over, or at least again. THREE errors made I noticed: No Resource tokens were placed at the start, Wonder Cards should only be 1 pile, Caravan starts IN the City, and counts the first space out as the first move!
I probably did that wrong...was such a long time since I played this one so cant say for sure on top of my head, let me check the rules and get back to you!
Thanks for your comment! Hope you will enjoy it, for me its just great to have a Civ game that can be played in a fairly short time but still has fun and challenging mechanics and feels like Civ :D
I enjoy it on 2 players, the recommended starting map design for 2 was a bit unbakanced though we felt so tonight me and Martin will play a random map setup sort of instead. But its definitly good for 2, I prefer these types of games on 2-3 players, more and it becomes a bit too much downtime for me.
7:11 Is it really legal to upgrade a level I card to a level III card directly, without having to first upgrade it to a level II card - as you have just done there? Thanks.
If I had to chose only one it's easy the 2010 Civ the board game, its in my top 10 of all time even. Its a much more complete game experience with buildings, combat and exploration. But the new one, A new dawn, adds a great game experience in a much smaller frame and time, so Im happy that both are out and they will be played at my house but probably more often A new dawn cause of the streamlineing and faster playtime. So in the end it comes down to what kind of game you are looking for... if they didnt share theme I wouldnt even think of them in the same sentence, they are very different.
Hey, sadly no, I planned to and its still on my to do list under "Not prioritized" but theres always so many new games coming in so very hard to go back and do this :( I havent even tried it, just know there is a solo variant, fan made, on boardgamegeek.
continuing on this one, the tokens of the resources should be on the map when setting up the game, then when you play "Drama and Poetry" in your first move of Egypt of this part you couldnt move to take that resource because it says on the card you cant move it to a spot if there is a token on it.
Oh, WOw...That really changes things, have to build a city next to it then?! Also that means I guess that there is only one token one time on each token space? Really goit this wrong then... amazing how many mistakes can be made even after reading the manual and testplaying :D
The way I got it the resources can only be gained once yeah. Civil service doenst have the restriction anymore. So if you have a higher tech level you can do it like that.
At 18:53, I don't get why you can just move the caravan up and take away the Barbarian token as the rule clearly states that : ( when moving a caravan ) "The space cannot contain a barbarian token." And you can only defeat a Barbarian if you attack with a Military card. @_@
I think that Draco was supposed to get a discount on the world wonder he built because of Buenos Ares, so he should've kept his marble, right? If there is a solo variant, I'd be interested in seeing that video. :) Thanks for the video, I wasn't sure if this game was for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I may check it out!
Oh, missed that one! Thank you! I was just reading the automa rules, it's fan made and not sure how well tested yet but might try it out in a live stream next week!

thank you for the playthrough. just got this for less than $20. thank you!
Great find!
Thanks for the playthrough !
Thank you!
I thought that caravans start from the city not from a space adjacent to the city? Am I wrong? thanks
I probably did that wrong...was such a long time since I played this one so cant say for sure on top of my head, let me check the rules and get back to you!
Yes, they start from the Capital or a matured city of yours.
Thank you very much... It is number 1 in my wishlist now!

Would you recommend this for just two players? I like the mechanics, but I don't know how it would work with 2.

Yes on 2 with the starting setup it becomes a very unbalanced game, which is a bit of a shame. But overall it is fast paced on 2 players.
Just cause you lost last time ;)
Had a blast last night playing on 2 players for the second time, very fun :D

Thanks.
I believe so, I havent played the game in a long time to be honest but I remember it this way :)
Yes
I see that you have played through both civilization games. Which would you prefer and why? Thanks

Boardgames with Niramas Thank you, that answers my dilemma as well :)
Did you ever do a video of the solo variant? How / how well does it play?

Did you laminate or sleeve your cards?
sleeves, ultimate guard

It changes as you level up the card :)

I believe you forgot that Draco gets 2 resources for killing off those two barbarians in the first part of this video. If I am not mistaken that is?
Yup :) I remember it in part2
