A number of people have asked- Yes, we will eventually get around to ranking the expansion units. It's a bit more complicated than the base set due to the multicolored Planeswalkers, Eldrazi units, etc. But we're currently working on getting a ranking system together for that stuff, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Bought this game a week ago. Ended up buying all expansions, and now lot of HEROSCAPE packages to merge armies. Love it. Happy to see that you guys make videos about this game, even tho it's out of production
Sure thing dude. We started our channel with AoTP, always gonna show it some love from time to time. Enjoy your games, check out our DIY vids if you need some ideas on how to expand off the heroscape terrain.
I just discovered this game after thrifting some heroscape. It really adds quite a bit. It really is too bad they're not creating a lot of content for this game. Thanks for the videos!
Love the video. Lived this game sad that they stopped making expansions for it. Bit the bright side ever since they stopped me and my brother created our own stuff. Eve. Went to the extreme to print out cards. Using MSE magic set Editor..
It's interesting that you're so down on the pummelroot while high on rhox, when if you consider attack and defense of roughly equal importance pummelroots are the same stat wise as rhox while rox is getting all their bonuses. Do you just value defense much higher than offense?
are you guys planning on ranking the expansion set units? im glad you all are keeping this game alive because i stumbled into it recently and promptly took your advice on everything from the painting to the heroscape additions.
Hey David, glad to hear our content has helped you enjoy AoTP. Yah, we'll get around to the expansions at some point, there's a lot of work to do as there's the multi-colored planeswalkers, Eldrazi stuff, etc. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it.
Totally agree on assesment of blue & black & why you chose black. Id personally rank red as 3rd. Simply since i had much success & with it & i love playin with Haste. Always choose my mad Prophet for a 3 attack round ^^ Are you gonna rank the zendikar- & Innistrad Planeswalkers along with their respective cards & units too ?
Yep, we'll get around to ranking the expansions and then the colors as a whole. Haste is awesome once you add in the other red units, you're absolutely correct about that.
Love this game. Played it a couple of times, even bought the Innistrad expansion. Don't really have anyone to play with though. Also, would love to know if there is any community out there with scenarios, home-brewed spells or creatures/heroes, anything else.
Yep, there's a ton of fan made stuff out there. Check out our "AoTP: Is this Game Dead?" video from our AoTP series for a lot of good content on how to keep the game going.
@@TwoBatsGaming , Thanks. I will check it out now. Now, other than that. Any way to find people to play with either online or through TTS or something? Really have no friends to play this with other when the rare family member comes to visit us, and my wife refuses to play lol.
So I made this tiny little balista (out of popsicle sticks, idea was inspired by your use of them on bridges) essentially they are a stationary item if attacked have 2 toughness and one life, the two open spots behind the balista are your 'manning spots' to use it you put a figure in on of these two location and it is now manned, on combat before you attack, make a shot with the fig manning the balista, it has 6 range +2 attack to the strength of the unit manning it after the attack go into combat with the previously selected unit (it's kinda like a free shot).The balista must attack atleast three clear sight spaces away and cannot attack directly to the left or right and behind it. would love to see your take of the minature itself and the rules that accompany it, so far my friends love it, thinking it brings in not only a wonderful 'free shot' but something to brawl/safeguard on the map.
This video is the cat's ass! I say so somewhat because of the informative and thorough breakdown of the base game and mostly because of the backwards spinning Blazing Firecats. ^_^
Awesome I love this game but can someone tell me why the green team didn't get a hero I have all 3 sets btw is there more fan made characters so I can buy
I love this game. And I’m sad there aren’t more coming out and heroscape seems to be out of print too... what do you guys recommend that is like this game but still being made?
Two Bats Gaming yeah such a shame. I made my own expansion. A massive dragon and some supporting commanders. Designed printed and laminated, used spare units from heroscape, pictures on my instagram from like a year ago! Thanks a subscribe would be mega heehehe
I love your videos and that you keep making content for AotP. I was going to disagree with you and say that blue was the best color, but your reasoning that black had a similar power level but was just easier to play makes a lot of sense. How do you think color balance changes with the expansions?
Thanks buddy! We're gonna cover the expansions in a later video, so we still have a good amount of research to do. Quick thoughts? Green gets a boost with Arlinn Korda, she's a beast. Blue gets some tank power with the Necroalchemist. The purple Eldrazi are incredibly strong, but I don't know if/how we'll include them, lol. Hard to say, gonna take a good amount of playing to fully answer the question.
TwoBats Gaming Hard to answer how to rank. I personally i like Kiora best. Though almost every Planeswalker from the expansions seems stronger than the baseset ones. Sorin is almost immortal !
Thanks for the compliment! If you have a version ready to go, you should go ahead and send it to us. We've gotten a good amount of fan-made content that we're playing through and trying to find the best of the best.
Would love to show my son this video… we’ve been playing this game lately and have been having a blast. Your warning at the beginning of the video is considerate, about adult audiences, but after watching the video the only “adult” content are the random and entirely unnecessary F bombs. Shame.
I will admit Hasbro had potential in this game but they weren't that smart as a company they should of made the game more budget or cheaper to target new audience I'm new to these type of games but im familiar to card games like yugioh. I always saw this game in the shelf sitting for 29.99 and I wasn't feeling it I also didn't think it would be fun although I did like the concept. They should of made it budget like 20 or 15 dollars
TwoBats your review is great, just very jarring to hear a swear word every other sentence. I'm not like ooh there's a swear word. I'm just trying to listen to you speak and all I hear is you saying fuck them over. And you are completely calm about it, being calm and saying fuck gives off just gross vibes. There should be meaning behind the words you choose, there are other words to emphasize your point. I understand at the beginning you say that you do adult reviews for adult gamers, but why would you do that to yourself? People are going to be looking to get into this and completely fucking over another player doesn't sound like interactive and fun game play at all. It's a really cool game and it's definitely worth getting into. Just, please consider to take the swearing down from the 9 to a solid 6 and you'll be good to go. Being a reviewer and a player of the game you represent yourself and the players of this game system. Again I appreciate the content, the game needs all the help it can get.
Nathan, appreciate your thoughtful response. To be fair, the script for this video has 3,504 words. Seven of those are "cuss" words. That's 0.19% of the total- not to be pedantic, just wanted to clarify that if all someone is hearing is "fuck them over", then they're disregarding 99% of the video. I do understand the point you're attempting to convey and you make a reasoned claim that I respect, but I think it's important to understand that we've had a fair amount of commenters saying they're fans of the "adult" manner in which we discuss games, that they're tired of everything being family friendly. Hypothetically, which fans' opinion should we respect more? I don't mean that in a rude manner whatsoever, I present it rather to convey that it's always a balancing act between two (somewhat) opposing viewpoints. Who defines what ranks as a "9", and what ranks as a "6"? As for representing ourselves, we're absolutely OK with how we convey ourselves through our videos to the world, otherwise I wouldn't upload them. I respectfully disagree that I should somehow consider myself as a representation of the players of a game system; thousands upon thousands of people play this (or any other) game, and to say that I should somehow homogenize my self representation into a format that's more acceptable to a certain subset of those players or the hobby as a whole is an option I'm not going to consider. We make the content we want to make for the sole reason that to do otherwise would only be hypocritical plagiarism, we'd be faking it and I'm not interested in that. This being said, I appreciate you bringing your opinion to the discussion, and I don't want to appear as though I just straight-up disagree with what you have to say. Normally, when we get the "YOU CUSS TOO MUCH OMG" comments, we just ignore them, but your response was impassioned and well constructed, so I wanted to respond in kind. We've struggled to determine the correct balance between blandness and overdoing the "adult" aspect- sometimes I feel we've gone too far (the Betrayal at Baldur's Gate review is a good example of this), and other times I feel I've toned down a script when, upon reflection, I wish I had gone a little farther. Ultimately it's something that experience will have to dictate, and I appreciate your input in the process.
Cool I appreciate the feedback, it is your content and you have a brand. It's all good. Whenever a video drops the F bomb, it demands my immediate attention. My issue was the video had my attention and it was still images of blue cards. You didn't really tell me how are why the cards or pieces fucked my opponent over. I'm just supposed to know. You kind of did, but my attention is on your voice and the still images. It isn't for laughs, it isn't over the top, it isn't fun, it's deliberate and calm intended fucking of my opponent. That's something I didn't know before making my comment, that there is a demand for it. In the situations you swear, was it necessary? It isn't even like a full commitment thing. You just kind of swear, and it's calm. Like this is how you talk normally. Angry video game nerd as an example curses and swears, and it's fine. Contextually it's appropriate, he's pissed and he does it for laughs. In this example of your channels content, you are calm and collected, and it sounds so out of place. My 9 to a 6 comment was unrefined. Out of context, every day speech, swearing. Swearing as a mild descriptor doesn't do the speaker any service. Make that shit fancy, and applicable to the situation. You and whoever work on this channel are smarter than this. 20 min video in depth detail about which color is strongest in the game. The seven bad naughty words that are in there are just jagged out of place words that ruin the flow of video. It legitimately stopped me to write about them. The parts where you fully painted your figures and spun the figures around are top notch. Saying something like "disclaimer, These shitter models come normally basic bitch plastic, mono colored do nothing fucks. But since we have our shit on point at TwoBats Gaming we paint our fucking models." "you can too if you aren't a bitch and you want to be a proud fucking board gaming adult, like we do." All of these swears are proper descriptors, The swearing emphasis your passion about the hobby, you paint your models, you have cameras and video equipment, you have time and effort completely dedicated to this. There is a lot of really good content here though. I hope to have conveyed more properly what I meant. Thank you again for doing some awesome work. I appreciate the effort in the content.
Hey, thanks for replying. You have definitely clarified your opinion, and in your second explanation I believe I understand much better where your viewpoint comes from. And in many ways, I agree with you, you've actually offered some good advice on how/when/why I should make that stylistic choice. Kudos to you, my dude, hope you continue watching our stuff as we refine our approach. Thanks again.

MORE CONTENT PLEASE :D i love this stuff, i neeeeeeed more

Are you located in LA ?
nah, southeast USA
I'd love to see an up to date video featuring the new Planeswalkers (Ob Nixilis, Detective Jace, Nahiri, sorin, Arlin)! 😁
Another great video, thank you for helping keep this game alive!
Absolutely. Speaking of which we'll be checking out your work next week. We'll keep in touch.
I just discovered this game after thrifting some heroscape. It really adds quite a bit. It really is too bad they're not creating a lot of content for this game. Thanks for the videos!
Love the video. Lived this game sad that they stopped making expansions for it. Bit the bright side ever since they stopped me and my brother created our own stuff. Eve. Went to the extreme to print out cards. Using MSE magic set Editor..
Perfect time for this game to come back.
It's interesting that you're so down on the pummelroot while high on rhox, when if you consider attack and defense of roughly equal importance pummelroots are the same stat wise as rhox while rox is getting all their bonuses. Do you just value defense much higher than offense?
are you guys planning on ranking the expansion set units? im glad you all are keeping this game alive because i stumbled into it recently and promptly took your advice on everything from the painting to the heroscape additions.

I love your AOTP content! Great job :)
Totally agree on assesment of blue & black & why you chose black.
Id personally rank red as 3rd. Simply since i had much success & with it & i love playin with Haste. Always choose my mad Prophet for a 3 attack round ^^
Are you gonna rank the zendikar- & Innistrad Planeswalkers along with their respective cards & units too ?
Yep, we'll get around to ranking the expansions and then the colors as a whole. Haste is awesome once you add in the other red units, you're absolutely correct about that.
Love this game. Played it a couple of times, even bought the Innistrad expansion. Don't really have anyone to play with though. Also, would love to know if there is any community out there with scenarios, home-brewed spells or creatures/heroes, anything else.

Blue and black are my choices as well, this carries over to the x-packs imo
So I made this tiny little balista (out of popsicle sticks, idea was inspired by your use of them on bridges) essentially they are a stationary item if attacked have 2 toughness and one life, the two open spots behind the balista are your 'manning spots' to use it you put a figure in on of these two location and it is now manned, on combat before you attack, make a shot with the fig manning the balista, it has 6 range +2 attack to the strength of the unit manning it after the attack go into combat with the previously selected unit (it's kinda like a free shot).The balista must attack atleast three clear sight spaces away and cannot attack directly to the left or right and behind it. would love to see your take of the minature itself and the rules that accompany it, so far my friends love it, thinking it brings in not only a wonderful 'free shot' but something to brawl/safeguard on the map.
That's a really cool idea. It would work great on a stronghold type map. You should shoot us a photo of the ballista, we'd love to see it.
+TwoBats Gaming do you have a facebook page? it is currently unpainted
nah, we don't do the facebook thing. Hit us up on twitter, at twobatsgaming@gmail.com or upload it to imgur and leave a link in a comment. thx dude!
This video is the cat's ass! I say so somewhat because of the informative and thorough breakdown of the base game and mostly because of the backwards spinning Blazing Firecats. ^_^
Haha, yah, I noticed that during editing and found it too funny to not leave in. Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for doing these videos
Awesome I love this game but can someone tell me why the green team didn't get a hero I have all 3 sets btw is there more fan made characters so I can buy
Check out the previous episode in this series, we cover some fan made stuff in detail. Thanks!
I love this game. And I’m sad there aren’t more coming out and heroscape seems to be out of print too... what do you guys recommend that is like this game but still being made?
This game is so Good, why is there no more expansions.
Because Hasbro couldn't be arsed. Nice music on your channel, by the way.
Two Bats Gaming yeah such a shame. I made my own expansion. A massive dragon and some supporting commanders. Designed printed and laminated, used spare units from heroscape, pictures on my instagram from like a year ago!
Thanks a subscribe would be mega heehehe
Two Bats Gaming thanks man. It's a great bit of kit
Also just followed u on IG too

Does anyone know Where I can get my figures painted
cool video. after you finish reviewing the other sets, ill send you my expansion i made and u can rate that tooo ahahaa
