depends on the 3D printer, more expensive usually is more user friendly, with bambu labs being the most user friendly

i really like the dice holders!

need to make a slide indicator for weather

For the day and night cycle, could you setup LED lights of some kind in the room so you could lower the lights or even color them in some way? I think everything would still be visible but it would add to the atmosphere and mood a bit more and still be physical

I really like the new mic, nice!

I love seeing people getting into 3d printing! The ender 3 is a greater starter, but I highly recommend you look into Bambulab printers when you are ready to replace it. I ran an ender 3, highly modified to fix its shortcomings, for years. I spent more time tinkering to get things right than actually printing. The bambulab a1 I have not had to touch a single thing on with 60+ hours of prints.

You can always post about 3d printing problems on yt I can't be the only one that would help

The circle of realms should be it's own Lego theme with sets and cards

You could add roads to your game, to increase movement speed of units but it has to be built first. Or an forcemarch ability that grant opportunity attacks to enemy units if you are in range 🤔

Grid

In the example space used making out the 3x3 lots of spaces was pretty easy to do visually so switching between the two movement types was quick and easy. However in the grass land areas the distinctions between the lots is less immediately obvious and will become more so as more details like trees and greenery are added. I think if you were to have a simple gamification of the middle of the lots it would be the least disruptive to visual aesthetic while still keeping ease use in mind. I think the easiest would be to choose a distinct color either from the ground pallet or from all the units as well. White or red or maybe a pastel color like pink for example. Greater contrast makes counting quicker. Then replace the 4x4 center tile of each 3x3 grid with that color (least piece and time intensive). Or put a color ring of some kind around the center 4x4 of every other lot. The color ring would probably look a bit better as the color contrast wouldn't have to be much just consistent enough to visually pick up the pattern. It could also be the same color as the existing center as the additional size to the center would also be an indicator. I think the kind of checkerboard mindset for quick movement will probably be best for quickening movement as you described. It will be easy to pick out lots from the pattern to make movement quick. A more wargame type approach would be to double movement when outside say x1 blank space from an enemy unit but would be slower to process due to counting individual spaces and not being as easy to pick out groups to speed up counting without a measuring tool if diagonals are allowed. It would also be slower for things like overwatch or units with ranged attack options engaging with melee units moving into their range. If you have cover or rough terrain, maybe small obstructions between spaces dont effect or have a -1 penalty to unit movement when moving between lots but act as physical barriers when engaged at per space movement. Buildings like the temple could act as walls in the same way either having a greater penalty when moved through or requiring per space movement. Then there would be a tactical choice on if moving directly through at a slower pace is worth it vs going around even outside of any full or partial cover the building may offer. It could be the difference of just getting to the other side of the building (with 3 movement) but still inside with cover or in the 3x3 lot on the complete other side.

Personally, A few things come to mind! But, the most significant of them would be a "Road" or "Path" tile. Something to allow units to travel faster over it than other tiles (Perhaps 2-3x, similar to the D&D Dash action as @prophetofbeans6781 suggested), but not applied to the ENTIRE map, mostly just between resource points. This way, there's still the option of a "risky" venture away from the paths, where, if you were to be ambushed or get into a fight, it would take much longer for reinforcements to arrive, which would add a nice element of planning/strategy IMO!

Very fun!

Congrats on 1k!!! Back on my every few months binge keep it up.👍

What about calling the big squares "the macrogrid"?

I really like this idea! A common problem in strategy games is that the speed that gives interesting and fair tactics is not a good speed for the grander strategy and logistics. In fact this reminds me a bit of the upcoming changes in Civilization VII where they're introducing a new unit called a 'commander' which can carry an entire army in a single tile and then plop them down when entering the warfront, and also allows for newly built units to disappear and reappear next to them after a few turns, instead of having to move them through an entire continent. These ideas are obviously not as applicable to your man-on-man wargame but I do believe that making a distinction between the movement to get units to battle and the movement done within the battle ought to be different, though this could also be done through more specialized mechanics like marching or something like the caravans mentioned in the playthrough videos instead of being the default. As for the aesthetics of tiles (which I think could be called chunks but that's probably just 'cause minecraft) I do think it does lose a bit of texture, however not only is it good for this change but also it could probably help with better judging distances, even within a battle. It generally just makes the space more readable which is nice, though it does accentuate the need for decoration

In D&D, your character has two major actions: movement and an attack action. If not in a combat encounter, but still using the grid, you make movement a full round action moving up to 2 or 3 times your normal movement speed (depending on your race/class/magical abilities/armor type). Normal is 30 ft, each square is 5 ft, so 6 spaces in D&D speak. Not sure if this is applicable, but it's the closest analogue I have as a super nerd :/

It may be a good idea to make a similar rule concerning being in enemy-neighboring tiles but for when you're in the range of a ranged enemy? Like, you can't run away from an archer if they have the possibility to shoot you down.

is there a way to like run or something like it. will the than become big titles

OF COURSE I pull up the stream as you end it lol Kids are in bed, hot Village Inn pancakes in front of me, yeehaw!

THATS MY LATIN TEACHER

Nice system, victory point are always a good system, could be interesting to have some kind of public objectif (like in twilight imperium) were all players could try to achieve the same objectif to gain influence, it could be link to your system of event card like the solar flare in the last video, something like a dragon invade the continent and the faction who slay it gain influence. Otherwise I am afraid that some faction will be nerfed and other buffed by the influence system : - Anakria with the mechanic were the leader become more powerfull each time he is slain is now a problem since you are now loosing the race for influence each time he die - on the other way the raider, from the looks of it don't seems to create building, so the other player have less way to gain influence against them, could have influence tied to destroying their raiding ship to compensate. Last but not least it could be very good that each faction have their own specific way to gain influence, the rebellion could gain influence each X number of prisoner converted. the kingdom could gain influence during the execution by performing a honorable duel against the prisoner.

Love the victory point system so far. One thought I had was maybe allow all the regular factions to plant a flag when they sink/clear a raider ship. Just because the raiders aren't producing buildings to capture like other factions. And as an added bonus it gives some incentive to actually fight the raiders head on as long as you're equipped for it.

Crazy with the uploads! So great

I love this system! It's a really good way of making both civic and military progress valuable and it actually adds new strategic elements to the game rather than just being a number to track like other games. The only thing I'd like to add is that you maybe consider making factions have unique ways of spreading flags, this can help people play a faction in the intended way and could even lean more heavily on assymetric play. Though, this might overcomplicate things and it definitely should be something to consider after playing around with what you have so far, also it does seem that a lot of intended behavior is already encouraged in different ways, like the Raiders killing their units to get better boats

Question: Is your significant other as much of a nerd about Lego as you (we all) are?

Loved the play through video, would definitely like to see more. Would also love to get to see some of the other factions that we haven’t seen yet

I think implementing victory points would be a good call. Please let us know what games you draw inspiration from for that, I can only think of Civ 6!

LOVE to see these videos comin in again!

So excited to see these and more coming out. Id love to get a game in some day.

I think the quest cards add a lot of depth to the game and rewards players for interacting with all of the game's mechanics and incentivizes them to do crazy stuff you would never see otherwise. It's really awesome. But with the Vernicus card, I can definitely see a huge exploit where the Kingdom player just keeps dropping Hawk Knights off of towers for unlimited critical hits, since before Vernicus is summoned it appears this can be done unlimited times. But I might be forgetting some of the rules from older videos.

New video, yae

I am confused, but intrigued.

22:40 That was awesome, super clutch play

A new upload! YESS

lets go

Check out the Monkey Spearmen's page here: www.circleofrealms.com/cusped-kingdom/tech-tree/nonheroes/monkey-spearmen

The printed body part was to make it easier for him to climb up the vines on the side of the citadel set. You would put a staff piece in his hands and then use the hooks and gears contraption to make him climb. The armor would get in the way of the positioning of the pole. This was probably the first "big" lefo set I ever had and it is still one of my favorites.

I created something similar with a friend of mine, when I was a child and we did this for a few weeks only and left it at that. So I really love the whole setup of the table, the game rules, the making of buildings and their abilities. However you make very specific stories and lore within your setup. I think you should go broader. Make a general ruleset for a Lego tabletop wargame so that people can adopt it to their Lego themes. I think that will create way more interest in what you created here, because the basic premise of what you created here is just AWESOME.

very creative i love it!

monkey knight are cool

id love to play this, it would be a crazy three days

try part 3024pb010 for the horse eye

congrats on 1k

my favorite part is any game is animal abuse yeah.

I personally just use brick separators to move

hey, almost 1000 keep it going.

First

1 some for Stable of some kind 2 can it help u get horse armor 3 the front kind of looks like a monkey so Maybe the units are the monkey knights

This should get more views fr
