Mage Knight: The Lost Legion EP03

[@SOLIDANAKIN]

"Take that you Cursed Hags, get outta here!" You are amazing Ricky. Thanks for these awesome vids.

[@Heldermaior]

Get up on outa here with dem cursed hags!

[@skeezixcodejedi]

Should be playing, myself.. but enjoying watching these videos way too much :) Thanks!

[@GroovusX]

Thank you again Ricky. So I see, black dice in the day time are depleted, and gold at night are depleted, and vice versa. Got it!

[@BoxofDelights]

combat is three phases, in sequence : 1. Ranged - where you can attack with ranged attacks and using units with ranged attacks ( so you could use you unwounded crossbowmen;) 2. Blocking - where your enemies attack you and/or your units (so you could wound your crossbowmen here) 3. Attack - when you can attack the enemy with all types of attack and use the attacks of unwounded units. I hope this helps, Rick

[@BoxofDelights]

Hi, all questions welcome! Rampaging enemies (ors/draconum) do not engage when you first move adjacent to them. They only engage when you move FROM a hex adjacent to them, TO ANOTHER hex adjacent to them. I hope this helps you sneak by a few more orcs! Best wishes, Rick

[@danieljenssen8745]

This is so great Rick. Exciting to follow your journey. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@tomrojas2055]

I never get tired watching your series, it would be good you film the other volkare scenario! =)

[@BoxofDelights]

You can do that ! If you pick up the game you can house-rule your own ideas and have even more fun! I might even try this idea myself :) Thanks, Rick

[@afjb1234]

Love your videos Ricky! You have taught me so much about this great game,. I am about to pull out my Lost Legion expansion and I of course went to look for your playthroughs first. One question, around minute 20 you ended your previous turn on a blue crystal mine, shouldn't you have gotten a blue crystal at the start of your next turn? EDIT: Never mind, LOL! I should have kept watching!

[@BoxofDelights]

Thanks Daniel..Ep 4 should be available in a few moments...

[@BoxofDelights]

yes, but only if you use them for ranged attack

[@Dolemitesooner13]

Ricky, At the 21:19 mark you move into a adjacent space of the rampaging marauders and then kept moving, why? Did the "Rampaging Enemies" rules not take effect?

[@Dolemitesooner13]

Hmm, maybe I have been playing this wrong. I guess its, a space adjacent to another space adjacent. You moved to an adjacent space to a none adjacent space. Good job! ha! One day I'll master this game....

[@BoxofDelights]

;)

[@koriiburakku5136]

Hi Ricky, thank you so much for these videos. I love them. We got the Mage Knight ultimate edition a couple months ago and have been playing 2 p co-op with the regular base game. I am now figuring out Lost Legion and got thoroughly confused (and overwhelmed) by the manual. I don't know what I would do without your step by step videos. Quick question, at minute 14 you use your mana search to re-roll the black die. You said that you don't have any spells so you don't need it anyway. But isn't a black die wild at night? You rolled it and got a blue, doesn't that rather limit the options you had? I have watched hours of your videos and this is the ONLY time I was like, what?? Anyway, you rock. Thank you so much again for helping us play this wonderful game.

[@BoxofDelights]

hi.. black is not wild at night; it is not like gold during the day. Thank you fir your question and for watching the film. I hope you have many great adventures! good luck, R.R.

[@uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu61]

@@BoxofDelights So black is a garbage roll, unless you are using it in a spell?

[@Heldermaior]

@@uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu61 hehe. That is such a new player question to ask :) Black is situational but is not trash. When I take down a city, black is the difference between an ok attack and a flawless victory. To me, it is one of the brilliant design features of Mage Knight. When you read the manual it says that Mage Knights are more powerful at night and at first, it doesn't seem like it. Once you know the game however... they really are.

[@chas_gbg]

I thought you took 1 wound card for every point of damage dealt to you. I thought the game was way too hard, haha. I watched the video to see if I played the game right and I'm glad I did. Great video!

[@amansparekh]

Call to glory is so good

[@mrsamtheman80]

Just as an optional play, in the expansion, you have the *option* of choosing to discard an extra spell card from the deck. It must be the bottom spell card. I don't remember if you also get this option with the advanced actions deck, though. Anyway, that can help the decks cycle through a bit faster in Solo play. Ricky did it correctly, but I just wanted to add in that optional rule (which could also be incorporated easily if you don't have the expansion).

[@PinoyGeekster]

Sorry for necroing :( but I really like your videos and good job on them. Just a quick clarification on this one, around 21:30 ish , when you moved adjacent to that rampaging orc tracker should've he engaged or attacked you? Or is that only during daytime? Thanks!

[@Palessan69]

answered this finally to Jayson Hartless. Needs to be one adjacent to one more adjacent to attack you.

[@chas_gbg]

I forgot to ask: Any chance you could give us the measurements of your token box? I'd like to get something similar. Thanks!

[@Jamiemackie]

if you wanted to attack with your crossbowmen you just wounded, is that possible when you wounded them in the same turn?

[@goranstosic3106]

How come at 7:19 you got one wound. Your unit got 1 wound because he got only 4 armor and enemy got 6 attack. So 2 attack got through, 2 attack against 2 armor is 0. How come you still got wound? I know i ask this in 2019 :)

[@goranstosic3106]

As with Units, even if the assigned damage is lower than your Armor value, your Hero must still take a Wound. OK i found it.

[@BoxofDelights]

That would be very tough !

[@ChRiStRiDa7]

If a unit is spent and you want to assign damage to it does its physical resistance still apply? Thank you

[@BoxofDelights]

Yes, they do.

[@eddiechou6936]

In your keep battle, you could've blocked with your unit, rage, and determination and used a powered intimidation to kill the defender. You'd trade determination and reputation for not wounding your unit, although that would cost you one more card to recruit the following turn

[@afriendofafriend5766]

When you assaulted the keep, couldn't you have used intimidate, powered it with red mana, and than been able to completely block? I get you healed afterwards, but it would have saved your rage card too?

[@BoxofDelights]

hi Andrew, Intimidate doesn't offer any Block, so sideways it could give me just 1 Block on its own. Were you thinking of combining it with something else?

[@afriendofafriend5766]

Because influence equals lock in a psychopath's world. Whoops.

[@BoxofDelights]

Hi GroovusX, it is nighttime. At night gold dice are "depleted" (like black dice during the day). So, you cannot use gold dice from the Source during the night. Mean huh?! Rick

[@bunshichi2777]

How many dices can you use in the source at the same time? In co-op, do you reroll the dice right after your turn is finished or after everyones turn is finished?

[@BoxofDelights]

1 die; when you finish your turn you reroll and put it back, ready for the next person's turn.

[@IPHbS]

hi Ricky, does it ruins the game in any way that the backings of core as well as country tiles have a little bit different color? it is noticeble even on your videos. i bet you have played 100s of games and have smth to say about that. best wishes! and thx for your vids.

[@IPHbS]

i mean comparing to the base game ))))

[@BoxofDelights]

I understand - no, it's never proven to be a problem for me.

[@aureliusnoble]

Hi, I was just wondering if you ever tried the Tezla expansion/was it any good?

[@BoxofDelights]

sure! I helped develop it :) So I am a little biased...!

[@aureliusnoble]

:o I didn't know that, that's really cool :) Looking forwards to Renegade even more now

[@ChRiStRiDa7]

One more clarification please bud. So once a unit takes a wound you can't use their armor to take the rest of damage (sounds into hand?) The rest has to be dealt to hero? Thank you so much! Hope this question helps others too!!!

[@ChRiStRiDa7]

*wounds not sounds

[@BoxofDelights]

that's right.

[@Kentchangar]

We just watched this and were wondering at 8:20 why didn't you play Determination sideways instead of Threaten.

[@bijanajamlou5152]

Dont you have to decide how many movepoints you want to spend for the turn before you start spending for revealing hexes?

[@BoxofDelights]

No :) You can spend some, move, spend some more. But once you take your Action, you cannot move again. Moving and Exploring (revealing new tiles) is not an Action. have fun!

[@Bradatimrkonja]

So end of round can only be called at the begin of your turn? You can't just declare it after running out of cards during your turn?

[@BoxofDelights]

Right; you do it instead of taking your turn. You may only declare end of round if your Deed deck is EMPTY at the START of your turn, and you forfeit your turn in doing so.

[@Bradatimrkonja]

@@BoxofDelights You earned yourself a sub, your Mage knight content taught me so much. Currently I am watching your War of the ring series just for fun. Great channel!

[@BoxofDelights]

Thank you ! Hope you enjoy exploring more games. Happy gaming !!

[@dmitriylalov238]

19:30 Why 6 cards if limit hand 5?

[@BoxofDelights]

a Keep gives you +1 card. Pretty neat huh ?!

[@pdv457]

Hi i love your videos!! In min 9.20 can you use your ability after fighting? I thought fighting finishes your turn

[@BoxofDelights]

You can. Fighting stops you taking a Move action though.

[@GroovusX]

Hey Ricky, great vid, Im curious, I have been learning the game watching you, at 6:06 you rolled a gold die, you were looking for a blue mana, I thought the rule was you could use a gold mana for any color? Again, thanks for your time and explaining! :)

[@DanielOtykier]

I thought rampaging enemies are not revealed (face-up) during the night? (Unless you're adjacent to them?)

[@BoxofDelights]

+Daniel Otykier not rampaging enemies. They are face up. Maybe you are thinking about sites like keeps, where enemies are face down but are flipped face up when you move adjacent during the day (?)

[@Orion3T]

Looks to me like around 5:30 you mistook Intimidate for Threaten. You could have blocked with Rage, Determination and your Unit, then killed the enemy with powered Intimidate. It would have cost you -2 rep, so arguably not much better given you could heal 1 wound easily anyway. But it seems odd you never even considered it.

[@BoxofDelights]

+Orion3T there are certainly always multiple ways to do things.... I didn't want to take the rep hit from Intimidate, so it was considered :) Sometimes I don't include every combo as the videos go on too long....... But yes, this might be an option others would prefer over the one I took. Such a good game.. .always choices!

[@Orion3T]

Ricky Royal Yes I agree, it's awesome :D I play it with my son and also brought it away with me on a course to keep me out of trouble! Re-watching your play through to see if I had forgotten any rules. Great vids. :)

[@adamardback]

You dont benefit from revealed things from a old tile discrovered before this turn. So you have to many cards in the unit offer every turn. Keep It says you get 1 extra card for every keep you own(standing adjacent to atleast one of them), a monastery cannot be owned, only burned down and an extra advanced action card for each discovered monastery THIS turn :)

[@BoxofDelights]

Interesting query... Ive not heard this rules mistake before: you are the first person I know of that has gotten this wrong. So thanks for the query: it's not limited to this turn or this round even, it is effective the whole game. For example, for Monasteries, check the rules for setting up a new round (night or day) of the game, and you will see it says, "If there are any monasteries on the map, add one Advanced Action card to the Unit offer for each monastery that has not been burned." Likewise for Keeps, it is "..your Hand limit is increased by the number of keeps you own anywhere on the map." Hope this helps! best wishes, Ricky.

[@warlord76i]

So u take wounds no matter how many armour u have? What if u had 3 armour on your character and a 2 attack against it. U still get a wound?

[@BoxofDelights]

+Istvan Fazakas correct. Stop attacks with Block, not armour. Armour just helps keep the damage down once a hit gets through.

[@warlord76i]

+Ricky Royal But how do u know if a hit got through or not. If the hit not going through u still get damaged? THX Could u give me an example?

[@BoxofDelights]

+Istvan Fazakas if you do not block then the hit gets through

[@BoxofDelights]

Hey Doc, just a correction to the Elusive explanation... hey, you got first view again! :)

[@DocHogan]

Awww...I lost my first 'first viewr'. What went wrong with the first upload? I haven't noticed a difference.

[@lord112]

I honestly don't like that you can just take indecisive unit from the unit offer and leave an empty slot so that the enemy can't get any unit, I would have atleast have one of the other units in the unit offer moved into the slot, cause it feels like you can negate the enemy ability too easily

[@Jamiemackie]

hmm okay how come?
