Dawn of the Zeds: 3rd Edition: Can't Get You Out Of My ZEDS! (Long Solo)

[@guillaumeTwatch]

Yeahhh happy to see zeds coming back !!!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Me too! Gonna leave it on the table for a couple days more I think. 🙂

31:50 i think you must first remove the defiant marker to make it available to then train a civilian unit

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Pretty sure not. Off the top of my head, the ability tells you to remove the defiant marker if it’s there and, either way, the unit becomes trained.

[@guillaumeTwatch]

You re right 👌

Always loved your content, and you finally persuaded me to get DOTZ3rd. Managed to snag it new for $75, first printing. I really did not like Nemo's War and also Robinson Crusoe, but I think your plays made me see that this game is different from those. Keep up the great playthroughs!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks for the comment and letting me know! And this game is definitely such a great add to a solo collection. It is crazy hard to win and I the comparisons to both games you mentioned but Zeds outshines both of those games to a very high extent for lots of reasons. Enjoy! 🙂

Greg I am loving this game! Playing directors cut now. Thanks for the recc! It is odd cause I hated Nemos War and RCrusoe. While I thought i just dislike dice chucking, Dotz does it in a fun way. Do you like to use any of the optional rules in the rulebook?? Any you suggest using? One variant I like is to create some dice manipulation opportunities: Every failed forage or research action gets you one token that lets you change one dice value +1 or -1 on a future roll. Max 10 tokens. I dont use this all the time, but it is fun when i do, while mitigating randomness and gives some more agency in the dice rolls. Great game!

@@inwoolee4051 I used one of the optional rules once but I tend not to play with any. Occasionally, I’ll use the coop rules to trigger the pressure events, but that’s about it.

Just wrapped up a painful near win, almost made it through on Director's Cut difficulty without ever having ammo

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Oh yeah - nothing hurts in the world of solo gaming quite like losing on the last card or two of Director's Cut Zeds... :) Hope you got your revenge!!

Have not wqatch this vid yet . Comment on your recent 2 ep plythrough on Zeds: Playthrough was" "MARVALOUS" and well made/edited. I just bought the game TODAY, June 31 😉2024 because of your vid LOL Try "Zulu at the Ramparts" next ,for another solitaire war game to do a playthrough.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks for the comment, Chris, and glad to here you just got your hands on this game!! And thanks for the rec, too - price is a bit steep and I've got a bunch of things I wnat to get to before I add any new games but I'll keep it on my radar.

[@chrisperrien7055]

@@SoloPlaythroughs The price of everything now is steep. But at least such single player wargames get me away from the screen, so to speak . So it is good. Yea, Zulus on the Ramparts, is another "tower defence" .Not as complex as Zeds but the same.

[@tajmahalfred]

Now I know why I didn't like this game: the character names subliminally triggered me as a 40-something Cardinals fan (Actually I'm just sick of zombies. I like these tower defense games normally.)

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! Yeah - Victory Point could make a fortune if they released sets of heroes for every MLB team. 🤣 And I hear you about being sick of zombies - one of the many things I love about Zeds is that it playfully mocks the B zombie movie tropes and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
