Glad you found it useful. There's a lot of interesting design space in the units and it's fun to see how differences between the factions actually manifests

Thanks. Should be done by the end of the weekend.

@@Colonel-WhiteRaven126 Yes, these were lists composed entirely out of the default Kickstarter warbands. The idea was for these to be playable lists right out of the box so to say

I see you put that the knight gets 3 armor in melee as opposed to just 2 from the standard armor when using the viscera cannon, but shields ALWAYS take 1 hand and cannot be stowed

@@dawsengoodfellow9891 Ah yes I did totally miss that shields can't be ever stowed (yet for some reason you can stow massive cannons without issue). I made the same mistake with the Praetor in one of my bands I'm currently having an issue working out the rules for this 3 handed creature I have, where in ranged it has a 2 handed gun and a shield in the 3rd off hand, then in melee (it's Strong) I've got it wielding a Greats word in its primary hand, and then the other two hands are a polearm which with shield combo I believe means there shouldn't be any conflict

I’m assuming this is the desecrated Saint? As far as I can tell, that should work just fine? I swear, hand math is the hardest part of kitting out a warband 😂

@@dawsengoodfellow9891 This is actually the Tawkin homunculus I've built for the variant warband video I'm working on. I imagine a couple of these things will get clarified in later versions as more people ask these exact questions. Similar to how as far as I can tell there's nothing stopping you from putting multiple damage type keywords on a weapon so the alchemists can just create warcrimes out of grenades

The takwin was my second guess. If I had remembered that you said you were building Sultanate, I probably would have guessed that first. I was probably thinking the Saint because you mentioned the praetor lol. Yeah, there’s still a lot of questions, more which will come once people start playing more after the stls get sent out I expect. The alchemists with grenades sounds like a nasty combo. If that ends up being legit I might have to make a house of wisdom warband

@@chuckhoyle1211 yep. I focused on just the default warbands for these vids, but there's a lot of stuff like that in faction variants that do a good job of changing up your strategies

@@5olaris88 Faction Variants are a logical next step. Other than that, some battle reports maybe just to see them in action. Any variant in particular you'd like to see first?

Glad you found them helpful. Didn't exactly have to cost wiggle room here to mention it, but an easy upgrade is to give fireteam members weapons with multiple attacks, as it makes triggering bloodbath even easier when you're getting 4-5 attacks in one activation. The Prussian warband variant homes in on this by making submachine guns and automatic pistols more available

@ yeah I’m trying to figure out the rock/paper/scissors aspects. SMGs look great but then some evil and heavy units like you need fire and other armour ignoring to have any chance to take them out. So mixed arms are the go and the bolt action rifle seems almost irrelevant except to have more guys to have more activations. And it seems builds with grenades and two hand weapons can really be nasty in assaults. And then flamers do not need to hits so good on basic guys and a waste in guys with bonus to hit dice. And then there is the campaign aspect that I need to reread - am I better maxing elites and guys to benefit most from that or kitting my guys so my elites survive and don’t get nasty negative wounds. And mercenaries look great but don’t benefit it seems from the campaign.

@@jasonprince8016 Yeah mixed arms are definitely the way to go. Especially if you're not making assumptions about who you're playing. IRL you're likely to be playing people who'll primarily play 1 or 2 factions so you can develop a sort of local meta with them (the friend I primarily play with mains Black Grail, so I've become traumatized by durability), but the degree of variance in scenarios makes it still hard to develop the "perfect" squad. Grenades are a great supplement for melee focused units because of both the assault and bonus markers they give. Definitely correct read on the flamers, makes your worst units much deadlier, but doesn't help elites much. For campaign, I'd say going heavier on the elites than you would normally is probably a good idea simply because of how strong the skills can make them, but probably trying to grab those extras between battles 2-3 when your resources go up rather than off the bat since at 700 ducats you're a bit tight if we start taking even more elites and kitting them. You want expendable units to be the ones dying, since those injuries can completely ruin a unit. So if your normal warband has 2 elites in it, I'd say bump it up to 3 for example. Regarding Mercanaries, yeah they don't get a lot of benefits, but there is something to consider is that they can be very cost effective since most cost 2-5 GP, which doesn't cut into your ducats budget while still coming equipped with entire kits. It seems each GP is around 30-40 ducats worth when you consider the equipment and statlines the mercenaries tend to have. So I'd say good uses for either shoring up weaknesses in your faction's lines (such as new antioch hiring those melee specialists) or after you've already bought the 1 or 2 glory items you've identified as big upgrades for your warband.

Yeah it's what finally made me pull the trigger on getting actually into a tabletop skirmish game. Have played a bit of BattleTech beforehand but otherwise had mostly dealt with different types of strategy games.

Should have it done hopefully by Thursday night. Full work day in between means editing will take a bit.

@@jasonprince8016 Thanks for the feedback. By totals I assume you mean their ducat costs correct?

Yes just helpful to see total cost per unit. I’m finding new Antioch tricky to build cheap units that do much so interested to see the balance between factions. You could wrap this into series up perhaps with 6 columns with the factions summarised to contrast the costs and numbers. I do wonder if lots of activation gives a big advantage to the person who has them or if tougher units are better.

@jasonprince8016 I'll give a more in depth response when it's not 1am in the morning, but overall there's a couple things to consider regarding warband size in terms of number of units. 1. If you're playing a campaign or randomized scenarios, you won't necessarily always be able to benefit from that due to deployment restrictions on the number of units. 2. Morale tests. Since these are triggered based on half your units being gone, if half your units are easy to pick off, you can find yourself in danger of immediately having to retreat or take a massive debuff (this is actually how I lost my last game). 3. 4 attacks with -1 dice have less chance of one attack hitting than 2 attacks with +0 (albeit barely). So if you're going for fodder units, honestly the shotguns I've found feel the best at the minimum price point. Part of why I believe Azebs are the best bang for your buck units in the game. 4. Number of activations of course has benefits in of itself of being able to for example exhaust all your opponents units and before moving your final units around, but since the game operates on a unit by unit turn phase rather than say in Battletech where phases all happen simultaneously, saving your good units for end isn't necessarily the best since by then you've given up the ability to remove unactivated models from play. 5. New Antioch in particular has an interesting place in this due to their fireteams allowing a lot more flexibility about turn order, which of course comes with more opportunities for misplays

Thanks. Going to try and improve my recording quality in the upcoming sets

Also the kickstarter just reopened so might be worth linking that. Ah you do my bad

Thanks. Been geeking out over the game since I've finally been getting a chance to play it. I think the designers have done a great job with a relatively simple system.

@@shanagbaimuru3926 Haha, the same on the geeking part! We're still in the middle of building a table for this, but maybe next week I'll be having a demo game with some proxies :) But so far I really like the vibes around the game and the rules seem quite solid

@@jmmywyf4lyf Yeah she's seems absolutely cracked. So much mobility AND defensive ability on top of DPS is just wild.

@@wil1234111 yeah I've found him to be hitting so hard now that I've got his pay rating actually scaling

It's actually so funny how much you can tell she really was the dev teams favorite. Girl's been directly nerfed like 3 times and is still godlike and has continual interactions & narrative beats

Yeah, my friends that have beaten the game are also pretty excited about it.

Thanks. Full time I'm actually a physicist, I'm mostly doing this as a fun way of sharing some of my gameplay experiences with friends/family and anyone who stumbles upon the channel

Yeah. So far this has been by far my best run, but man does not having solid inheritance laws make holding together empires a task

So close to greatness. He did pretty good all things considered. Heir just needs to duct tape the rest of the empire together

Yeah, man's just too healthy

Lol I didn't even notice that. You can tell when Bielo here really started phoning it in after the like 7th kid

Since I have a somewhat busy schedule I've got the next few prerecorded, but I'll be sure to do this next time I play. I definitely look around a bit in the succession lines, but haven't looked in the dynasty tab for a bit

Yep. Mr Bielo Green here hasn't had the best matrimonial luck it seems

Yeah, there's also like a dearth of decent options right now because a lot of people are already married or don't have people in their courts it seems. It's fine though, ending up with some decent alliances anyways

That honestly completely slipped my mind as a possibility.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Problem is that they all have a huge amount of reluctance due to being rightful heirs to titles already from the partition.

@@shanagbaimuru3926 fabricate a hook and make them? 🤭🤗😋

Yeah, realized that like right afterwards. Thanks though.

My upload speeds aren't great, so I usually have them upload over night or when I'm at work. Have got the next few ready to upload though
