Quick question: at the trading post, when you take the field action, do you have to "pay" the fertilizer or water costs when planting or tending? I view this as a bonus and the rules don't state whether you have to pay the associated costs.
@tabletoptoby 7 күн бұрын
Hey there! On the Trading Post spot, I do believe whatever Field Action you are taking, you would have to still pay the costs. If you look in "The Fields" section of the instructions, it shows the symbol from the trading post and says that it signifies one of the 3 Field Actions. And then it goes into what those are (Plant, Tend, and Harvest) -- and explains what each costs. Since it's the same symbol used in the description of "The Fields," I believe that means that the relevant costs would still apply. It seems to me otherwise that this would be an overpowered spot because you could, for example, spend only 2 fertilizer at the Trading Post and would be able to plant 3 pumpkins -- whereas normally it would cost 9! With the costs still applying, I think the purpose of allowing a Field Action from this spot is that if The Fields are full, you can still do one of those actions...as long as you are willing to pay the additional cost on the left at the trading post.

Just a clarification. At 15:50 you said you had to place the strawberries adjacent to the strawberry that is on the board. The first berry needs to be placed next to the one on the board, but the second can be placed next to either berry. That is answered in a thread on BGG by the designer. He said they can be placed in a straight line

Hey all and thanks for watching!! A few corrections/clarifications (which are in the Klingon subtitles as well, so turn those on!): (1) 01:36 -- I note that developments provide an additional battle die for adjacent regions. They ALSO provide an additional die in the region with the development. (2) 5:37 -- re: repair moons slotted in Tactical Operations -- The way I say it, it sounds like you can repair a ship damaged in the current battle. But Tactical Operations occur before damage from the battle is applied, so you could only repair at that step: (1) a ship in the scrapyard already; or (2) the damaged shield of a ship in the current battle before damage is applied. Those can be the fruits of your loss engine! (3) 15:11 -- re: Tip #8 Module Sneak Attack! -- The video accompanying this part should have had a ship in the region adjacent to the placement region (Maximus Field) because for the second placement there with the raiders, as I state, if it's not your first placement you can place in a region with opposing ships. However, the video should have a ship in an adjacent region to make clear the 2nd transport placement is valid (as normally a transport can only initially place in an empty region). Otherwise, you would need a tactics or ship upgrade to place a transport with raiders. Fighters and other upgraded ships with "Attack" could place there, though, without an adjacent ship. Thanks to those who helped identify these! 👏🏻
@markdandridge4433 2 ай бұрын
I have been thinking about this Strategy since you posted about it. I believe I have unlocked the proper sequence. It would require your battle ship to be placed next to the region because even if you loose 1 battle your ship will allow you to stay. So on your next visit you can go to the region you wish, loose a battle potentially and revisit again. I was always using the Battle ship offensively. This is a great way to play defensively! Thank you again for a different perspective.
@jelledewit8887 2 ай бұрын
"People are like wait a minute what just happened" tip 8 you cheated 😂 I am sorry. Mark is right! You can still do this if you have a fighter or other ships nearby with enough range! Or with tactics or abilities! Tip number 2 develop early. It can backfire pretty quick. In a large group where there is a lot of fighting sure, in smaller groups people can avoid fights and you have spend recourses and turns on building and have a ship less to return to Station for your engine. So getting more recourses can become difficult. Love your enthusiasm and your video!
@tabletoptoby 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment and support! 😀 Yeah, on tip 8, I state the strategy correctly that if it's not your first placement you can place there, but I should have had a ship on the adjacent region in the video to make it clear the placement is allowed by the transport there. 😣With a ship upgrade or tactics card with Attack, it is possible for a transport to do that. But not the norm, for sure. Either way, it is a viable strategy...but obviously only if the placement is allowed! 😂 Your point on developing early is definitely right -- it also could be situationally negative depending on your strategy, placement, and faction. For me, that's certainly part of the fun of the game...trying to identify those opportunities...and costs! 🤔

If you lose the damage ships step is before the tactical ops, so can you actually repair a ship you just lost with a repair moon in the slot?
@tabletoptoby 2 ай бұрын
Hey there -- This is an important clarification, so thanks for asking the question! I'll add a note in the Klingon subtitles as well. The tactical operations step is step 5 in the battle sequence, but damage to ships is step 6. So, you can't repair a ship that was just in that battle. You can repair one that was already in the scrapyard, though, to fuel the loss engine. But in that section, the way I state it certainly makes it sound like you can repair a ship from the current battle. And that is not correct. Much thanks again for asking that! 😀
@tabletoptoby 2 ай бұрын
One follow-up on this -- you can as, confirmed by the creators on the BGG forum, use a repair moon in Tactical Operations to repair a damaged shield on a ship in the current battle so that it's not destroyed and sent to the scrapyard to keep it on the board!

@tabletoptoby 2 ай бұрын
Hey there and thanks for your note! 😁 Yes, you are right...the film for that section doesn't show a ship in an adjacent region to the transport for the 2nd placement. I should have placed a ship in an adjacent region to make it clear the 2nd placement would be valid. Without a ship in the adjacent region, yeah, for the 2nd placement it'd be if you had the fighter like you mentioned, or the Ace Pilot tactics card that allows you to launch with Attack, or I believe there's a ship upgrade for transports that adds Attack as well. But if you did have an adjacent ship, you could place a standard transport as well. Much appreciated!

@tabletoptoby 8 ай бұрын
Hey there! You can only play with one of the expansions at a time. So, either Alliances or Covenant. So, you could maybe start with one and then add the other later for variety. Alliances adds a nice layer of challenge and puzzle on top of the base game, so it's a good place to start. If you play it for a bit and want some other variety or more of a challenge, then I would recommend getting Covenant later. Covenant is my favorite of the two, but it does seem to amp up the difficulty a bit!

I believe you may be thinking of the lockpicking encounters. When you unlock those, the dice on it are returned directly to the dice pool. 🎲🎲 It is kind of confusing they work differently than each other, and if I haven't played this for a bit, I have to double check which is which!

Do rival need 2 influence to go to spaces where influence is needed?
@tabletoptoby 10 ай бұрын
Heya! The House Hagal cards that tell you what the rivals do (or the app if you are using the app) will indicate whether influence matters or not for the placement. On some cards, the rival gets a bonus or better benefit, but only if they have enough influence. And there’s one card (Sietch Tabr) that does require the rival to have at least 2 influence in order to place there, so it instructs you to draw another card if they do not. So really, you just need to follow the instructions on the card or in the app, and the card or app will tell you if influence matters.
