Aristeia!: How to play

[@Muhd_Akmal]

This is the best battle arena board game ever made. Please don't stop making more characters Corvus Belli!

[@trojan403]

So worth buying? I already have blood bowl but not sure if it't worth it?

[@quinterx]

@@trojan403 yes, its compeltly worth. Hands down, Corvus is amazing studio.

[@sayloth]

Best game they make but a game they absolutely do not care about. Buy what you can I guess cause it's a great game.

[@jennas3212]

I'm loving playing this game! This is a really well put-together video that I've been showing to my players as a way to explain things. One thing that was omitted was that a player gets to draw a tactic card immediately if an enemy character is sent to the infirmary.

[@kaibe5241]

No, they covered that.

[@SciFiPorkChop28]

So good! Tom, excellent voice overs!!! Somebody add the Mortal Kombat Aristeia Mash Up to the end of this video...

[@Ludologies]

Looking forward to getting this! Thanks for the vid!

[@Cinomod6066]

This honestly looks great I was looking to getting into infinity as my first miniature game but this looks like a lot of fun and just a little cheaper to start with so I'm diving into this :) still going to get into infinity eventually but this looks like a lota fun and easy to start!

[@MaZEEZaM]

This looks much easier to get your head around the rules compared to Infinity and I like these models too.

[@goldmundswelt]

Sounds amazing! Can`t wait to try it out!

[@Ralesong]

I recently bought the game and loved it! I will definetely try to pull some active players from my local Infinity community. One question: where can I fing the music used in the intro, outro and Gata description?

[@DominionDee]

Sorry, when is this coming out? I noticed pre-orders are up, but I'm seeing gameplay show up on youtube. Looking forward to playing this!

[@DavidRosillo]

DominionDee November 20th is the official release date :)

[@geeksworkshop]

Well this could have been out sooner to go along with all the presale hype.

[@battlemind]

Naw. I hate hype that's way earlier than a game's release. FFG is really bad for this. I think this is timed ok.

[@WELSHMIKEY]

Can you make a video like this for prime time?

[@jushin20]

Can't wait!!

[@36Marciano]

I think that Mantic Games did a real good job making a future sportsgame Dreadball in the same universe as Deadzone, Warpath and they make good(maybe better use) of those hexagons.... But nonetheless, this also looks very cool.

[@Arrowhead80]

I received the game today for Christmas as a gift. I was reading the rules and I stopped when I read that player A attacks player B with a ranged attack, player B also deals dmg to player A if he has a dmg symbol. Wtf? How? I had to read it twice to be sure it wasnt a mistake. I came here to check this. It would be the first time a game implement such a weird rule

[@TiJaNe7]

We usually houserule it to: If Attacker (Ranged) attacks for more than 2 spaces, defender (with only close combat attacks) will change its "X" symbols to shield symbol (e.g. the sword strike helped him to block the attack/bullet). As it makes no sense that a sniper bullet attack max range vs Shield user causes the sniper character to die ^^

[@andysmith6441]

@@TiJaNe7 don't forget page 5 of rhe rules reference: all characters have access to a Contender which gives them a 1-8 ranged attack (even if not on their card) so the return fire damage makes sense.

[@TiJaNe7]

@@andysmith6441 but contender die has max 2 successes. However mushashi can defend long range theoraticaly for 10 success which is too much for our liking (thushouseruling it):)

[@Wolcik3000]

looks like it necessary to buy expansions nearly immediently

[@piotrp6793]

To be honest I was hoping for such game from Corvus Belli: in the Infinity universe, but simpler and more straight forward and without need to paint the figures. What we have here? It is quite close... we have complete plastic figures(so one don't have to glue them) and rules seems very good(I have read the instruction) but... there is always BUT: I personally HATE the hexadome(it feels like cage which I presume was intended) and this "sport"-like feel. So how would look my dream-game right now? Putting this simple: - Infinity universe, - going back to war, not some stupid MOBA or sport-like "something", - the rules could be similar to Aristeia!, even though I really like those movement buy measurements kind of thing, but that would be impractical probably, - puzzle-like board pieces - like in i.e. Star Wars: Imperial Assault - so: more complicated sceneries would be possible, - so: campaign part of the game with good stories, - of course skirmish part(as main one), - very important: painted figures! (if SW: X-Wing can do it - others can too, right?) of course there could be an option to buy uncoloured models - for those who have time and skill to paint them(and like it...), - would be nice: adding something like resources/base management meta game - parallel to skirmish fights going on or between campaign missions, (maybe something like bringing resources to base, so one can produce better weapons or get better skills?) That would be perfect. I would buy EVERY figure and every expansion for such game - EVER! And going back to Aristeia! - probably I will buy it someday... but I really don't like this "crowd in the cage" feeling... :( I know it was specifically designed in this way, but there is no sense of adventure, new and changing environment like in real fights when one almost always have to improvise! Something that is present in games like Infinity(I presume, because I so far only have read the rules for it), Imperial Assault and others. Wishing You BIG luck with this game and going back to waiting-for-NEW/NEXT-Corvus-Belli-game state of mind!

[@CorvusBelliOfficial]

Thank you for your comment, we will take note :) :) We are very sorry because you don't enjoy Aristeia! :( :(

[@piotrp6793]

To say I didn't enjoy Aristeia is to much:) I really like rules, graphics and universe of corse(Infinity). To rephrase my last comment in more positive way: I'm waiting impatiently for Aristeia expansion or 2nd edition that will allow me to play outside of hexadome with modular board - back on the futuristic streets or landscapes of Infinity, fighting for some very important info carry by the spy of my enemy faction - or something like that (more meaningful, not so crowded). Add to it possibility for buying painted figures and that probably would be the best game... ever:) Good luck!

[@solodragun]

@@piotrp6793 Some excellent ideas. I thought the hexodome was kind of bland and perhaps restrictive as well. I'm not opposed to it entirely, but it would be nice to have more variation in the arena and perhaps mote variety with some actual 3 dimensional terrain pieces to scatter around the board. Play outside of an arena would definitely be great too though. I see alot of potential for this with expansions in the future.

[@solodragun]

@@piotrp6793 Would like to add, I love the variety of these models and though I don't have as much time for painting as I would like, I find the opportunity to do so as one of the more enjoyable factors of tabletop model gaming.

[@piotrp6793]

@@solodragun In time between my comment and now I have bought the game. Simply: it is great, strategic, dense! Must have for any tactican/strategist:) But I still would love some "outside hexadome expansion" :)

[@belisariuscawl538]

Why must everything use special dice? What happened to the good old 4+?

[@DavidRosillo]

Belisarius Cawl that it was not enough to do what we wanted. Having symbols allow us to have more information in a die rollo without having to use tables or having to roll several times per action :)

[@belisariuscawl538]

I hadn't considered that :)

[@solodragun]

I love the use of special dice. It's more creative and ultimately more intuitive by often negating the necessity of having to constantly reference various charts and tables.

[@guenteroelfke3005]

Nope!

Totally confusing. And it didn't even do a complete runthrough. Absolutely crap.
