3:55 the bot only ever blocks a wood resource icon. There are 2 of those but only 1 of each of the other resources on the map in a 2 player game. So you aren't blocked from using wood as a resource for discounts, just from exploiting the wood in the bots starting region.

John, I am very interested in your top 10 of 2024!

Same. Hopefully it will come out between now and January.
@JohnLaRuffa10 күн бұрын
It will be out as soon as I know nothing else will be coming into my collection this year. That means probably just after Christmas. Stay tuned 😀

@@JohnLaRuffa Should be an interesting list. Put Men-Nefer, Civolution, and Rome in there for sure. That's already about a third of your list lol

That was fast! I've been waiting for this one after your unboxing. I just got the game last week. Looking forward to your thoughts.

I'm hopeful that since I don't have the games you mentioned do similar things that this will be a hit for me. I'm glad to hear the solo is easy to run. Hopefully it's a bigger hit for me!
@JohnLaRuffa10 күн бұрын
It probably will be better for you and for most. This is clearly a “me” problem. The solo is very easy to run especially with the play aids.

I thought you would be underwhelmed... especially with all the other amazing Essen releases.

Sadly yes. Oh well. They can’t all be amazing.

I enjoyed the gameplay well enough but what killed it for me after only the first play is what has killed some previous Stan Kordonskiy games as well: I got to do pretty much everything the game offers in one game. I maxed out a lot of things and what I didn't wasn't very interesting anyway. Shame really, this looked liked it could be an exciting economic/area majority game with drafting and it is that, just not very exciting. In fact with Nova Roma also being a dud for me this year (and Endless Winter and Resurgence in the past), I feel like this designer just isn't speaking my language. And that's fine, plenty of other games for me to explore and other people really enjoy his games.
