Heroes of Might and Magic 3 the Boardgame Playthrough/Tutorial Clash Castle VS Necropolis Episode 1

[@csabaidonat]

Great video! Keep in mind if your main hero is at level 2, you don’t play the combat vs a level 1 opponent, you just automatically win the quick combat. You don’t gain half experience either!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks!, Ya we figured that out after editing

[@normang3444]

YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHERS ON THIS GAME I have watched sofar! Your hand model is fantastic too!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks!!

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

Thanks for making a gameplay video. So much more useful than a unboxing video. 17:53 The FAQ booklet actually says that other non-necromancy factions/players can take the Necromancy card if they want. They can’t use it, but it is a way to deny the card to Necromancy player.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks! I will let Ravin know, going to hopefully play and finish the rest of the game today :)

[@shakajiub]

Your painted minis look so good! And I'm jealous of the great table as well, we can barely fit the game on ours with all the required decks and the battlefield! :P

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks!!

[@califax512]

Great playthrough! Couple of things I have noticed 1) When you gain/lose movement points it is only for that turn 2) Adelaide specialty card is not a spell. It is a specialty (yeah, it is confusing, i had to confirm this with devs), so you can not use your knowledge card on it, but it doesn't count towards you spell limit for the round 3) 01:01:54 that is a settlement, which is like a universal mine :) 4) 01:03:15 - you ruled correctly, the black marker is still placed even if you decided not to trigger the ability 5) 01:04:05 - that's +1 initiative, not movement 6) 01:05:25 - the neutral will try to attack the same tier unit, but it can still attack a higher/lower tier if the same tier unit is not available 07) 01:17:40 - how are you suddenly standing on a blocked space? :D LOVED the scenes from reading the events, that was very cool! Hope to see more videos for this game!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks for watching the video and catching the stuff above. At 1:17:40 I spent a movement to go to that spot than moved again. What we did not know, but found out later (comes up in the next video which I am editing now :) ) The thin yellow lines we thought you could cross not the thick ones. Thanks for answering the MP questions that makes sense. Did not know about the Adelaide card I will let Ravin know. We played it like a spell in the next video but going forward now we know. My daughter and I like making scenes with our miniatures (she has her own display board :) )

[@csabaidonat]

Great summary! The only thing I would add is that when you build your mage guild, you cannot use the X golds for search option in the same round. Only in later rounds.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

@@csabaidonat Did we do that? I thought we did the search 2 than next turn bought spells?

[@TyphonLeTitan]

Even the devs do not even know their own rules, I hope you noticed that califax x)

[@csabaidonat]

@@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies you did it correctly because you did not want to spend the money. 😀 But in reality that was never really an option in round 1.

[@sagittariusa9012]

The Minis look really nice. Also those trees do a lot for immersion, very nice. I'm still happy that i backed shaded big box because i can't paint :)

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks!

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

1:17:36 A solid yellow line along a field’s edges means that the field is a Blocked one and cannot be entered.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Yeah we figured that out in the next playthrough. We thought the thin yellow line was passable the thick edge one was not

[@rogadip]

@@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbieslooking forward to your next playthorugh! And damn, you're a skilled painter.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks! Just finishing up the next video now. Should be up late tonight or tomorrow @@rogadip

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

2nd video is up now!!@@rogadip

[@jasonbeard1004]

I can't wait to get this game😁

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

We are really enjoying it. Just finished playing a solo game for Tower vs the Crystal dragon :) Should be up in the next few days

[@bartoszf5043]

A couple of things you got wrong: During Round 1 on the round tracker, you don’t get the income. Just the starting resources. Next, you get resource on every odd round, meaning: Round 3, 5, 7, etc. During the even rounds (2, 4, 6, etc.), you reveal Astrologers cards. You reveal the Event cards during Resource rounds (odd ones) except Round 1.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks for letting us know. I thought when they said each round they go after each other. If you look at the time marker the image actually shows the picture of each phase...We did just get the starting resources on first turn nothing extra. I have another about 40 mins of gameplay played wrong but after that we will fix. Thanks again!

[@bartoszf5043]

@@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbieslooking forward to the following parts of the gameplay!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

2nd video is up now!@@bartoszf5043

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

1:07:45 I think you mentioned it but shooting from the backline into the enemy backline gives you combat penalty (roll two dice, pick worst).

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I did ;)

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

Look for Heegu rewritten rulebook in BGG. He remade the rulebook with a lot of changes that address's most of the ambiguity (obviously by getting an official answers from the dev's)

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Do you have a link for it? I can go through it tonight, thanks!

[@Hscaper]

What are some key difference examples?

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

It seems I can't attach the link in this post, but the main difference is that a lot of ambigous rules are explained clearly. For example - when using stable, do you get a permanant additional movement?(the answer is no. It only lasts for that specific turn). Another one would be - when using reinforce with settlement effect or the Necrmanacy card, do you exhaust your token for reinforcement(the answer is no)

[@Fadexpl]

​@@Hscaperthe difference is night and day to be honest, original rulebook is very vague and doesn't cover many edgecases. They're neatly covered in the rewrite.

[@Hscaper]

@@Fadexpl I’m looking at both rulebook sand I don’t see much difference. Each time I have a question I look it up in both and it’s the same explanation. I’ve done the side by side and actually I’ve found the rewrite to be only helpful in the field breakouts by summarizing all expansions into it so I don’t have to flip between books. Outside of that it must just be clear to me. Like I didn’t need to know what was considered to be behind a wall

[@snowdawn]

Wow this looks great. It's like playing the PC game in board game. If ever I can buy this in store I will be interested. For now, I will continue playing Heroes 3 on PC. Gg guys.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks!

[@talbd195]

Question, did you paint your miniatures and if so, what did you use as reference for the color scheme? They look great!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks! Yes I painted them and for reference I just used the stat card for each one. Most of them also have a bigger more clear picture in the rules and expansion books with the exception of the hero models

[@pastuh]

Can you give info which card sleeves you use?

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I just got random ones from the hobby store Ravin works at, but I can ask her tomorrow which ones when she is at work ;) They were just cheap ones, the good ones were to small :( I will also get the names of the good ones also.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

So they are Ultimate Guard classic Soft Sleeves and Dragon Shield Perfect Fit Clear Sleeves

[@pastuh]

Found in local store "Dragon Shield" sleeves, but dimensions are marked as: 63.5x88 On the BoardGameGeek forum, it's noted that the card size is: 63.5x88.9 I wonder if this is a printing error or if the cards are actually 0.9mm longer

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Sometimes on the back of the box they tell you the recommend size. The ones I have on them now are over sized@@pastuh

[@pastuh]

ok, thanks

[@janoskorodi3208]

So beautiful game,witch paints you used for the miniatures?

[@janoskorodi3208]

And one more things where did you bought that tree miniatures?

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks! I use a lot of paints. My main source of Income is painting miniatures so I have a lot lol. I use Vallejo, Citidel, Greenstuff worlds paints. Speed Paints and Contrast really help if you want stuff done fast

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

@@janoskorodi3208 I got them from a craft store than glued bases on them and used texture paint and flock/basing stuff on them.

[@picklebuckeye]

I have been very interested in how this game turned out

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

We really enjoy it

[@tst894an]

I personally love it. At first the rules seem kind of 'alot' , but after I played the solo scenarios, it becomes very easy and straightforward. Is very fun to play.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I found the same thing also@@tst894an

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

One more thing😅. You fought against a lvl 1 neutral at the mine near your town, but you forgot that you were lvl 2. When you are at a higher lvl than the neutrals, they are going to "flee" and you don't initiate combat and also don't get any experience.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Nice catch just went back see to its around 50:00 mark. Don't know how we missed that.

[@Rotaienko]

Can you show your painted miniatures a bit more? Also, what table gaming mat are you using? Thanks!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Think the mat is from Tablewar?? Think Ravin said something about fatmats also. Our Facebook Group has pics of stuff worked by us and other subs and miniature channels if that helps. Link is on Homepage of Channel

[@SuperTheLycan]

Video was great. Just finished it and waiting for P2. PS: in case you'd want to resell Heroes after series, let me know as I enjoy it, but didn't manage to get one. 🙂

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks! Really like the game so I don't know how long it will be if we do sell stuff but I will let you know!

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

2nd video up now!!

[@Dwarfurious]

there are some of the all in bundles for sale online on second hand market, some unopened, i was able to buy one before they even shipped. But maybe you want the fancy painted ones?

[@SuperTheLycan]

@@Dwarfurious where did you buy and how much?

[@psionictransvection]

Did you buy the trees separately ?

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I got them from hobby store than glued them on a bases. Put texture paint and dry brushed

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

Also I think that when you build the Mage guild, you actually use the spell book token. Meaning you can't buy another one.

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

First comment deleted by accident😅. Great job onthe video, explaining, editing etc. I think you had a misplay with the scouting ability - you either decide to use the expert effect or the basic. You don't use both of them. Keep up the good work❤

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I used only the expert one to search 5 didn't I? I think I explained both but picked the search 5 option? @@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

At 21:59 - You've done search 5 and took Resurection, and right after that you've went for search 2. You've also mentioned it before

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Because I just built the Mage guild it lets you search the spell deck twice at search 2. One of those times I used the search 5 ability, the other one I used the normal search 2, I thought I played that right?@@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח

[@יחיאלאטיאס-כ7ח]

Oh yeah, you are correct my dear sir😊. I've rewatched it. Because it was right after the card it somehow looked like you were doing both actions. You are correct in searching 5 with the "scouting" and than 2 because of the Mage guild.

[@KDSBestGameDev]

The Card Sleeve on the Griffins look good. Can you tell me, which sleeves you used?

[@rogadip]

You reinforced your bronze nerco units without a City halls, which is a prerequisite to reinforcing units.

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I might have used the city hall ability that gives me a free reinforce for bronze. But your right I think you still need the Citadel to use it

[@TyphonLeTitan]

No you do not need the citadel to upgrade units with your card's effects. Those are independent.

[@StylishJedi]

I fell asleep multiple times… zzZz..

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Thanks for staying awake to write this comment!!! Also if you fell asleep multiple times you must have enjoyed the content to continue to try to watch thanks!!

[@xlnt2new]

the moronity about a unit being able to retaliate ... because it's hit by a spell :D man, that's some next level drug abuse - there has never been anything even remotely close to that in Heroes and there is no excuse to not know that, also there is no such rule in the board game (;

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

Feel better now you got that off your chest? Lol

[@csabaidonat]

Come on man, no need to be rude. These are nice people. Yes they got that wrong but had zero impact on the actual gameplay.

[@Anor999]

That dragon skeleton/rock formation next to the necropolis town, is that a 3d version of battlefield terrain? 3d print?

[@CollymoreCollectionsAndHobbies]

I think it is from Warhammer Underworlds terrain pack
