I binge watched all of your JC videos. Amazing. Btw, if you send your audio through an AI podcast enhancer, it sounds like recorded with a studio mic. I downloaded your videos, sent them through Adobe podcast (free online tool), and combined them again for watching. (I made sure to run the video in the background for the views and liked them). Just some food for thought, as a non native speaker it was hard for me to follow otherwise.
During the first Family phase, is it correct that the Crown buys a workshop using the extra action, even though her climate was set to stag? I took the meaning of the rules to mean that the Crown only uses an extra action when the action in question is listed as one of the actions she wants to take, depending on her climate.
she will. She will use the extra action as her standard action if it is an action should have taken anyway. for example, if her climate says she would take a shipyard and the free extra action is a shipyard, then she will take the shipyard as a free action and then do the next two actions, so she ends up taking 3 actions from her menu. Hopefully that makes sense? otherwise she will take the shipyard last as an action extra to her normal 2.
Excellent as always. Though I would have a question. When u choose the law u consider ( player asset - crown asset) where -1 its better than -2 and so on. (that means that positive nr is even better..m I right?) and multiplay it by -1 when its tax..so in you case you had 0-6 or so, with ships and 0-4 in luxuries resulting in -6 and -4 multiplied by-1 the result is 4 and 6 where 6 is better, so according to the rule, the crown should had been choosen 6 been tax on ships ? or my logic is wrong?
Hi Istvan, it's the other way around: so it is Crown Assets minus Player Assets; and then multiply by -1 if it is a Tax. So, if it is a Bonus, and Crown value is higher, then Crown will benefit more; if it is a Tax, and Crown value is lower, then Crown will benefit more. Ricky.
40:40 doesnt the crown have 2 windows from their luxury cards to require them to pay 2 pounds in tax during the upkeep stage? Not a big deal in the solo game since you cant bleed them dry and start losing stuff but nonetheless a tax is required. 43:00 the crown should have thrown in their 4 pounds to vote against deregulation. Unless there was an update to the rules the crown always votes first, and were voting against.
Hi . Thanks for your questions: no , there is no tax applied during the Upkeep phase. Taxes are normally a result of a passed law with a Tax policy. Re deregulation: the Crown always votes last and against, and will only spend the money if it moves the vote to a failing position. Hope this helps! Ricky
No, there is no cost on windows during Upkeep. In the Upkeep phase everyone must pay for their family members on prizes - that's it ! Hope this helps - best wishes, Ricky.
Is the DoT or the tiebreaker clarification the only changes? I don't see them on the Errata document and I'm worried now I've missed other tweaks. I wouldn't want to go easy on myself :p
Which errata doc are you referring to? There are only two changes on the errata: the DoT one and one on Manager of Shipping, but the DoT one is likely too recent to be on the 2nd printing, so will remain an errata item for now.
@@BoxofDelights docs.google.com/document/d/1hvtkMaKiyhENYW7SWNoBdGQkL-FCcSFkOycgTlaGris/edit I see the one about fitting ships, and I've already made that change in my handbook, but this is the first I'm seeing about the DoT one. I'm asking specifically because I've found pumping the Crown DoT a little too consistently viable.
Shouldn't the rebellion about the 30min mark in Bengal been in Hyderabad rather than Bengal? Leader card should be top of the stack rather than where the elephant is, yeah?
yes, exactly right. I was still focused on the card that was on top of the deck before I flipped it (Bengal), so Bengal was stuck in my head; but you are spot on: it should have been Hyderabad.
@@BoxofDelights it’s all good, mate, it’s such a complicated game. I’ve played dozens of solo games and I still miss things all the time, little steps here and there. Sometimes I can retroactively go back and fix them once I realise, sometimes I can’t. I have another question for you… how do you interpret the “Fitted Ships” AI card? That one’s always confused me somewhat. Is it total fitted ships, including firms? Or just company fitted ships? I assume ships still on shipyards don’t count as they’re not fitted yet, and neither do extra or company ships, as they’re “leased” and “bought” (and in hindsight, extra ships are never out at this stage of the round).
@@TheNickman007 it's all ships in a sea zone; it is a bit of a puzzle to get the definition, but if you check the Manager of Shipping card, you can see that all types of ships are referred to as "fitted" once they are up in a sea zone. In hindsight, I might have been better to have written it as "number of ships in all sea zones".
@@BoxofDelights I looked at that document. It doesn't mention any changes to the cost of the Special Envoy. It doesn't even list page 6 as having any changes at all.
This is such a fun solo game, well done on designing it! And another great playthrough, so fun to watch!
I wish there is more solo content for John company 😢
This game is just fantastic
Ah, the next installment cometh.
One Question, at around Minute 28 the Company had 37Pounds in the coffers. Shouldn´t you remove 5 Pounds due to Callico Acts ?
Yes, absolutely; on turn 1 we hadn't yet passed Deregulation, so the Company must pay the penalty. Good spot ! R.R.
