Kingdom Death: Monster - Lantern Year 1

[@Doomguard60]

Another great video! I'm glad to have helped out with the naming process! :D I got to say, your effort and enthusiasm in your videos is fantastic! It makes these videos extremely enjoyable and immersive to watch! Especially the setting for the White Lion intro with the echo voice, really creepy atmosphere for what is no doubt a very disturbing landscape! Error's and slip ups: 3:23 the card says you need to roll a random hunt event before moving on! Easy mistake to make though. 12:00 Unfortunately grass is not an obstacle meaning all the threats would have been seen. There's certain terrain cards that have the keyword "Obstacle" which blocks the line of sight for both Survivors and the Monster. However, you rolled a 3 to negate the AI so it didn't matter anyway! :) 13:25 When the Monster picks target, if it says in range, a survivor has to be in range or he won't move, meaning the Lion would've performed "Sniff" instead. Certain AI cards don't have the words "in range" which means he moves towards his picked target. This brings a lot of layers to tactics to this game, which I find brilliant! 17:34 With the full move reactions, if it's at a board edge he still moves! You have to pick which direction he moves and turn him to face it, then move along the board edge unfortunately! Sorry, I don't want to sound like the fun rule police but hopefully these help out with the rules and give you more fair flowing gameplay. This game is very difficult to keep track of at first with the amount of rules in it, especially if you play by yourself. I still make mistakes myself even after playing hours of this game! So it's understandable. Regardless, a fantastic video, very good fight, the Lion stood no chance! As for the next fight, another White Lion would be good, to get suited up with armour, however, the Screaming Antelope is a very fun fight! Don't want to spoil too much, but to make Screaming Antelope gear, you need to build the Stone Circle which costs a lot of resources! I'll be happy with whatever choice you make! Can't wait for the next video, I love the effort you make for this, really makes my day to see a new video uploaded from you! :D

Andrew, man, you are a legend! Don't worry about the rules-policing stuff, these are key rules that I have been fouling up for longer than I would care to admit. Keep up the good work :D

Back again for another run through of your fantastic KDM series. Entertaining and educational, thanks mate.

[@BitsOfBoard]

Haha, good on you Carl! I hope it holds up :D

[@califax512]

So, several things :) 1) tall grass is not an obstacle, so it doesn't block the line of sight. 2) if the monster is adjacent to the board edge, it moves to the side of the board edge instead of moving forward 3) age milestones happened right after you have gained hunt xp in the aftermath, not on the check milestones phase Great video, though) let's go for the screaming antelope!

[@BitsOfBoard]

Thank you, thank you and a-thank you! It seems that I have engrained some pretty "off-rulings" in my playthroughs :D May I ask if that means weapon specialization could have been taken into account for this phase?

[@califax512]

You may select a weapon specialization during the first age milestone, yes :) But no worries, you can always change it (or select it) when the survivor departs

[@georgea5162]

When you hit your first milestone, you can choose a weapon type for the weapon proficiency. But you have to wait until the next fight to earn a proficiency tickbox (if you wound with the chosen weapon).

[@TeChNoWC7]

If the monster is adjacent to the board edge at the start of its movement*

[@TheJonnie84]

Love your work mate really enjoying this series

[@BitsOfBoard]

Cheers Jonnie - glad you enjoy, they've been a lot of fun to put together :)

[@mattjohn6077]

After having the KDM itch (the itch being "do we buy it or not?") once again, my partner and I had to come back and watch this series to help us decide to finally get it or not.

[@BitsOfBoard]

Haha, I'm glad these videos are still of assistance - unfortunately the game remains God-Tier. In saying that, I'm truly sorry if I've cost you in money in the process 😂 Well, sorry but not that sorry! Did you get it?

[@mattjohn6077]

@@BitsOfBoard hahaha - this channel has already cost us so much! Saying that, we've never regretted one of your suggestions. Damn it, looks like we'll be getting it! Sorry wallet 😭

[@georgea5162]

Good Job, I am really enjoying this playthrough! I like your enthusiasm and the way you explain things about the game. Don't worry we will help you with any rules slip-ups! How frequently are you going to be posting episodes? (I hope it's not only once a week..)

[@BitsOfBoard]

Haha! Thanks dude! I'm starting at one a week so I can get used to the format - new vids are hard 😂 Dont worry though I'll get that time reduce plus a few new reviews thrown in to boot! Its nice to hear there's demand :)

[@BunnyStomper3000]

Very soft voice almost ASMR man but I am enjoying what I see.

[@BitsOfBoard]

Next series is just going to be the campaign intros and a ASMR spoken account of the game and events - haha! Glad you've enjoyed the vid - all the best to you!

[@osianrapier4021]

LOVING the vids dude! I would love to see a tougher lion! That'd be legit!!!

[@BitsOfBoard]

Awesome :D thanks man! Though the Level 2 White Lion would likely have my team for breakfast - let me get some decent gear together first and then we'll go for it!

[@mauroarguelles6372]

Your cam has a dead pixel

[@andreagrp9048]

hi and thank you for the video. sorry but I am a bit lost in steps to follow. so once you have completed the first year lantern defeating the white lion as per previous video, you then moved on with settlement phase and you picked one of your first survivor which may skip the next fighting event as he would be the one who speech the first word, so you have to create a new survivor; does he start with all zero levels in a matter of experiences (XP, courage, survival and so on?) how do you setup the hunting event? Many thanks in advance

[@BitsOfBoard]

Hey Andrea - You are correct, the survivor had to skip the next hunt, forcing me to create a new character from my settlements population. This survivor is completely fresh (zero stats) unless they have gained somethibg from settlement events etc. I might have to make a video addressing the hunt phase set up, and a few other nuances, as they can be tough to explain - but basically each monster has its own set up and position on the hunt track. You'll definitely see a bunch more throughout the series. Thanks for watching!
