Let's face it, he's learning the rules. All of us are going to have these same issues, I would suspect for quite a few games into the learning process. I think he's done pretty well.
Cool video, overall really nice explained. Just one thing I noticed that was not brought up by the others. Burgundy is split in two parts, one in BURGUNDY Area and another part a bit to the North, between SEINE and FLANDERS & WALLONIA. With Austria having a Town in RHINELAND (which was missing on the Setup), that would have meant that "Death of Charles the Bold" would have granted a Bot Power to both England and Austria.
I also noticed that you had France diplomatically subjugate Provonce, but they also had a small town in the Bordeux region. Meaning they would need 3 influence first then they would annex all three.
Everything looks great and polished with the game, and you had some good transitions to show where areas that events and such occur helps with understanding. One question I had was roughly how much space does the game require on a table? Game boards, player mats, cards and such in total.
Nice! Just wanted to point out some things I spotted: On setup, Austria should have Towns on Sundgau in RHINELAND and Krain in VENETIA, England should have a Ship in the ENGLISH CHANNEL, and France should have a Ship in GULF OF LION. On the Bot's Military Action, when checking Bot Strength, count both Available Manpower and Units in their Army. Also, there is a step for placing the Army onto the board in the Bot's Military Action. Looking forward to the next one, cheers!
As far as I know, the English and French ships were removed because the solo rules said they only have 1 ship. The setup is dumb, I was too eager to quickly set it up which is why weeknights are a bit tricky ^^. Thanks!
@@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725 Well it pans out well enough with the Trade around minute 55 where the bots would not get any power if they don't have ships there (at least for France). I think you missed the part limiting bot trade to "eligible Bot Realms" when describing the rules in the video.
you were probably confused by "place a Merchant only in the first trade node listed in the setup" no prob, keep up the good work. @@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725
I knew someone would appreciate it :D. My OCD gets triggered a bit when they're not correctly oriented :P. Setup took a while, I'll time it in my next video! I think about 20 minutes but could be wrong. It definitely gets faster every time.
I think your Genoa trade uses bottom row because you had to use alternate trade area instead of primary. I.e. you wouldn’t get 8 ducats but I think you only get 5
They’re all scenario based as far as I know. I think the reason for that is that you need event cards for each playable country. There were a bunch unlocked though so I think there’s a lot of choice regardless.
There’s a procedure for “generating” your own scenarios with most multi-province nations at the beginning of the scenario rule book, it does give some wiggle room for “home brewing” your own experience. These are more recommendations, and definitely meant for more experienced players

Thanks for the compliment! It's quite the undertaking but I really want to be able to play this game smoothly. Really liking it so far!
Thanks for putting up a SOLO playthrough! Really eager to watch this tonight after work...
Just keep in mind it’s a first try and that part 2 is on its way. Each part will be more refined 😅😅
Hope you continu! This is really helpful and fun while i'm waiting to get my copy.
I’ll continue this weekend, hopefully Friday 😁.

Cool, I’ll look into that 😁
Thanks for the video! It makes the waiting here in Europe a bit easier!
My pleasure! Part 2 is out now as well and I will soon be recording part 3 :)
I love that the AI is clever enough to know that on turn 1 it needs that royal marriage with Burgundy more than anything else 😁
The AI is really good in this game 😅
Thanks for the playthrough. I hope that you put the rest of the game up. :)
I did ^^ and my pleasure!
Thanks for posting this, hope you keep at it! :)
Definitely! Really keen on one day playing a Grand Campaign a la TI4.

Really needed this. Thanks.
My pleasure! How has your experience been with it?
@@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725 Still playing the first age of my first game and enjoying it so far.

@@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725 1 Ship in each Sea Zone where they normally have Ships. :)
Thanks! Totally missed that 😁

Plus points for correctly oriented tokens hehe. Thanks for the vid.
How long did it take you to set up everything?

@@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725 Ohh. Faster than I expected. Nice.
Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for the video 🙂
My pleasure! And Part 2 is on its way 😁

Good catch!
Is there a possibility to play ANY nation? Or just the ones with a scenario?

@@somanygamessolittletimesmg7725 What countries are selectable as of now?

Also it would be great if somehow you could do closeups of things you are explaining.. such as cards.
I tried to do that more in part 2 which is now online :). Thanks for the feedback!
Can anyone tell me what a tag chit is used for?
They're used to put on milestones, ideas to show that you've accomplished them.
Fly So under radar this game on tube , very few videos about it
Doing my best to provide as many as I can 👍🏻👍🏻
