I am of course interested. First choice is Wolfhawk, second choice Goldyx. Experience level: 10+ games of base Mage Knight, 2 games of Lost Legion. If you don't pick me I'll just be here sniping any rules mistakes like last thread

My hand is garbage for combat so.. I'll take Mana Steal with the red die and hopefully grab that advanced action nobody wants. Alternatively I can just run straight across the map, because that's one thing Wolfhawk is actually good at. I have a new respect for the players of the last game, it is not easy juggling all the pictures to figure out what you want to do even though I'm quite used to the Vassal interface. Pretty high quality draw for actions and spells overall. How much are we allowed to talk about what we plan to do? When I co-op IRL we do our best to stay out of each other's way.

I'm either heading to the monastery to hire or sprinting SE to explore/sit on the dungeon. I can't tackle even the orcs right now! Alternatively I think I can make it to the healing glade and hire familiars next turn. On the one hand that's less risky than landing on the dungeon and hoping I draw a bunch of range, on the other I'm not exactly well set up to keep them around. Anyone else planning to hire them? It might be worth it just to get them off that crystal space. edit: I also need the blue die for that I guess.. not a disaster if someone uses it though.

Depends on Fat Samurai, I'm happy to blow past the monastery if your best play is to burn it to the ground turn 1.

Savage Monks are still good, I think. I don't have any experience with level 40 Volkare so I don't know how important it is to take units off the crystals, which is the only reason to do something different. Anyway, I draw some blue mana from the source and Tirelessly Improvise (discarding Threaten) a route south-east to the dungeon (8 move total).

I might actually be able to kill a thing now! That's the one part of this game that's always seemed funny to me, occasionally the Mage Knights are just not in a fighting mood for no particular reason. "A bunch of orcs? Are you sure we can't just run around a lot and promise them 5% of the treasure?"

Zombie #246 posted:One thing I felt was somewhat ambiguous, unless I'm reading the rules wrong, was with how Volkare explores tiles. Is he limited to the "countryside tiles have to touch a tile that touches at least 2, core tiles have to touch 2" that the players are? Or does he just plop up the next thing in the pile whenever he would move anywhere but off the side-edges? I think he just plops whatever tile is next in the stack wherever. Volkare doesn't care about rules! I suppose you could interpret a normally not-explorable tile as being "off the map shape" and move Volkare in the closest legal direction.

Stelas posted:The game really does have it in for you guys thus far. Sweet. Truly playing to Wolfhawk's strengths here, taking another Knight's skill that I think is just better than her own. I wonder if there's some trick to taunt I don't know about (other than loading your deck with way too much block). Stelas posted:I forgot to Expansion Corner: That rock on the stonethrowers indicates that their attack is Cumbersome, allowing the use of Move as Block. To be completely accurate you can pay 1 move to reduce the attack by 1 - important if you have resistant units or to reduce wounds taken if you can't completely block the attack. Also with the new rules you can't use "left over" movement from the move phase, IIRC (but effects like the "1 bonus move per card" from Tirelessness still apply).

How does Shock Troops third ability interact with Brutal? If I use that and curse in the Block phase, will the Orcs be left with 2 x 0 = 0 damage when it comes to assigning damage?

The new purple enemies in Lost Legion are pretty rough, no doubt to make Monasteries a little less appealing as loot pinatas.

Stelas posted:One of the interesting things about Volkare when he's on Fair speed is that you often do have to kind of... wait for him to catch up. That happened to me in solo, almost lost due to being at the end of my deck and still waiting for him to get close enough to attack. Every turn you have to get rid of at least one card and I nearly didn't have enough damage left when he arrived.

I can't believe I forgot that Fire Bolt does fire damage. I always do that  Luckily I don't think it makes much difference. Wolfhawk uses the last of her Stamina to move to the maze. The orcs take issue with this, Determination powered by the blue mana die blocks their attack, a curse weakens their armour and Rage powered by a red crystal finishes them off.

I could go for either a spell or artifact on my last turn, how do you all value them? Being able to pick a spell is nice, but I don't like them as much when I have poor crystal generation. On the other hand that Tremor looks really tasty..

Power March from the source and head down the 4-move path of the Maze. Desperately hoping I don't encounter a shadow.

Phew. I Curse the Hydra, weakening it's defenses, then blow my Horn of Wrath in it's general direction for 5 siege damage. I learn Tremor and end my turn. Next turn play my remaining cards sideways for 3 move to hop across the walls and end on the plains.

Your additional turn is a lot stronger than mine I think! How about if Gutter Owl and Fat Samurai both want to end right now, we do that. Otherwise let's take another turn.

Stelas posted:Curse is kinda rear end, but then so are most of Wolfhawk's skills. Ain't that the truth. As long as I don't have to pick between Know Your Prey and Call of the Pack at the same time I'll be happy. Perhaps refreshing breeze would have been better but I do like to mix and match when I can still get the action card I want. That "no fortified enemies in siege/ranged" restriction on Curse is just killer though

I think I'm ok with just about any tactic, I'll be moving to the monastery and buying something before I burn it down.Stelas posted:This is kiiiind of my feeling, but then that's just my playstyle: generally, I tend to prioritize crystals where I can. Crystals with heal attached are even better. I don't tend to take that many wounds so I probably undervalue the heal effect.

Yeah I'm probably hiring a pair of units asap this night because Wolfhawk's gimmick isn't really "have no units". I like playing her though, she's got a bit more mobility than other characters and the little bits of healing and combat bonuses she gets emphasise the situational "solve a puzzle" aspects of the game every turn. Hawk Eyes just straight up sucks though, I have no idea why the night restriction is on it for starters. edit: Also  at buying no units but only taking one of her skills that cares about them. Duelling can actually be a nice skill if you get it first but it scales SO badly through the game, so I'm guessing you either drew it later on or in conjunction with one of her good skills.

Oh god, this terrain is awful. Play March and Stamina, move on to the monastery. Threaten the Illusionists (power with red die, play Rage and Tirelessness sideways for 7 influence) and then use their ability to hire some Scouts for 4 influence.
