15:56 "...That's because seige attacks are ranged attacks even though it doesn't say the word **ranged** on the card." Honnestly, great series !!! I was around my 6-7th playthrough, and still couldn't fully grasp combat. This helped a lot !!
I finished my fifth play of this game yesterday and realized I still didn't know so much about combat mechanics. I am starting to suspect that learning how to calculate taking wounds (I haven't taken any in any of my games yet---partly because of ignorance and partly because I feel like I just shouldn't engage if I'll take any damage whatsoever) might help me play better. If that makes sense.
quibily It’s best not to fear wounds too much. There are many ways to get rid of them. You do need to be careful, but sometimes the best play is to use a heal card rather than multiple cards for enough block, or accept a wound to get an artifact. Always keep track of what’s in tour deck and what’s been played so far. Sometimes you know a big heal is coming soon.
I'm not sure if it's an argument that Americans just always say this wrong or that American pronunciation differs, but I've heard a crapton of Americans say it, and they all pronounced it that way. I grew up saying it this way playing D&D, and in my ear "may-lay" sounds British. I'm quite aware of that pronunciation, but it feels like I'm faking an accent when I say it that way. :)
Yeah, I'm aware of the etymology. Problem is I grew up on mee-lee and everyone around me says it the same way. At a certain point, you have linguistic divergence. I don't know the numbers on who says it what way. I just may-lay feels wrong on my lips. Thanks though!

Awesome! So glad it helped you out. Such a great game. I hope you enjoy it even more now!

These are excellent videos! Thank you for making these!
Danielle Lauzon Hey, thanks!!
I have a question, resistences cut to half the damage in the ranged combat phase? Or Just in the regular combat phase?
Resistance applies in both phases.
Enjoy the videos, but why do so many people pronounce melee as "mealy"? It's pronounced "may-lay".

It's not 'mee-lee'. It is inspired by the French pronunciation, which is mostly like 'may-lay'.
