Great video! I just want to say you're easily my favorite channel in the tabletop hobby. I love being able to learn about different strategies in games in order to make not only myself a better player but those I play with as well. On top of that, you also have a variety of interesting content. Keep up the good work!!!
Really appreciate this comprehensive discussion! I recently busted out the game with friends over the weekend and had a great time playing. This video helped me clarify many things we didn't fully understand, and gave us all a better understanding of how to play efficiently and effectively.
Thank you for watching! FOMOF kindly did a playthrough for us as well, to give you an idea of how to implement the strategies. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/Tqhf9Dbd4Io/v-deo.html
I like playing Scythe a lot, but the balance is way off. Each of the bottom row actions needs to be a valid path to victory in many situations; as it is, players build strategies around actively avoiding certain bottom row actions. Please tell me some smart, enterprising person has developed a "rebalanced" Scythe (perhaps with a modified map?) that does a better job of allowing much more variant high-level play.
this is absolutely amazing :) thank you, this explains a lot. I played the game for the first time last week and I won but do to the fact that I was able to get a lot of bottom row actions whilst others wasn't, but without a real plan. luckily I did the right things. Like some early upgrades then workers and inlists. I guess the patriotic mat was also strong, it kinda made sense for me at the beginning but with all that new informations I would play totally different then in my first session.
We’ve been playing for a long period of time, but I still have a question about a little moment, that seems to be unclear for me. Is mecha able to drop workers during it’s moving process? Like if I use “fabric card movement” and +1 ability, can I drop first worker after first step, second worker after second and then just make last step, after what I ll control 3 more territories? And added question - can Make a reverse movement? Like “collect” all workers through the long mecha movement with only this one mecha move?
It depends on the faction. Albion, for example, doesn't need to cross a river to get out of their base, and there are other ways to get out with other abilities. Tune in to 52:10 in the video to hear FOMOF's thoughts - he's more knowledgeable than me!
@@LegendaryTactics I did watch it, maybe didnt fully understand. Like Crimea, u get speed while not able to leave zone, is it bcs u have metal and u go for early double mech? I always thought leaving starting zone is your main goal in early game.
Yes, there should be a CC button at the top right which will toggle them on and off. If that doesn't work, click on the little gear (settings) and look for 'Captions'

Thank you so much for the kind words! We do our best to bring great content to this channel and to the hobby! And thanks for watching!
FOMOF is absolutely one of the best Scythe player. The number of games he played is unimaginable.
Yes, it is impressive! He knows what he's talking about!
Also a great teacher. I've really learned a lot from his content.

So glad it helped you! Thanks for watching!
This video was well produced and VERY helpful. I can’t thank you enough for your hard work producing this.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful! Be sure to check out FOMOF's channel for more great Scythe content!
My favorite game. So much dept and replayability.
Awesome! Hope this video gave you some tips on how to play better!
What an awesome strategy video. Thanks to FOMOF for sharing his wisdom.
We were very lucky to have him come by! He's one of the national treasures of Europa!
Dang this really is a masterclass in understanding the game. Thank you!

One of my favorite games of all time.
It is an excellent game!
Fantastic video. Thank you both!
Glad you liked it! Hope it helps!
Fomom you should write a strategy book 😍
He definitely should!
@@LegendaryTactics when I'll finish this video I'll rewatch it to write notions... Great Fomom and thank you for sharing this. 👏👏
thanks for having him on do it again
We are planning some more stuff both on his channel and ours!

Exactly. They need to add bidding for the combinations. You can do it yourself in local games, but online games need it too.

That's great! Congratulations on your win! Of course, we can always get better, and that's what this video is about! Thanks for watching!
its been FAQ'd that Rus is not allowed to us their faction ability on factory cards.
Yes, I think that was a post-hoc attempt at rebalancing. Rus-Viet is pretty powerful otherwise
This guy reminds me of a young Quentin Tarantino or something.
Ha ha, nice!
Thanks
You're welcome!

Yes to both
Anyone can tell why speed is most common #1 mech? U can't leave your starting zone anyway, so having increased speed doesnt make sense to me.

a fan of Avatar TLA i see
Who isn't? :)
Can I turn off the auto-translated titles? It's really distracting...
