How to Play Oath: Citizens, Chronicle and my top 5 Mistakes

[@ModernTablegamer]

I did end up reposting this before it was out there too long. Thanks for the comments pointing out a couple mistakes to add to my top 5 mistakes :(

[@madprof666]

This was so helpful. I feel like everything has been clarified. The only thing i can think of is…”would the chancellor get the oathkeeper defence die, when its held by the citizen?” As a citizen gets it when its held by the chancellor

These tutorials are so well structured and produced. Excellent work!

[@Bebbzor]

Excellent work! Would love to see more content from you - keep it up!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks Oscar! Thanks for the motivation!

[@MRblackop128ps3]

thanks, this helped me with my chronicle a ton!

[@Crosbie71]

Perfect! Thank you for this helpful video.

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks Paul for catching a couple of my mistakes in the first release of this!

[@TravisErickson5]

Well done, as always! I'm curious if you've been tempted to add a strategy video for any of the games for which you've taught the rules. That always feels like the next step that we don't often see on KZbin. Reviews...rules...playthroughs...but very few strategy videos. I wonder why that is (genuinely).

[@LordoftheBoard]

Mostly because it takes a lot of work. I’ll try to catch up to all the games 😂

[@villevalste1888]

The fun of playing strategy games is that you get to come up with your own strategies.

7:15 I think this was slightly wrong? I think the way it works is: how many warbands on the defensive side fought in total? 4, then 2 die 2 go to the player board (chancellor in this case). You did 2, one dies one goes to board, and then the other two, which effectively ends with the same result, but it's not exactly the same logic... I think.

[@villevalste1888]

I suppose normally, since they were the defender, the troops on the player board would be included with the troops defending the sites and it wouldn't matter, since all the survivors would go to the player's board. Except, since they're a citizen and the troops on the site actually get returned to the Chancellor, it makes sense to count the troops on the player board separately, because those stay with the citizen. Does this make sense? To learn the rules, I've so far only watched this and the previous video, but I would assume there's something in the rulebook that would clarify this, since which logic is used would make a difference, if there's an uneven number of troops and the casualties need to be rounded down.

[@villevalste1888]

Scratch what I said earlier. The warbands are all counted together when determining casualties and half of them (rounded down) die. Any that remain on sites return to the Chancellor's board. The Chancellor also decides, which warbands are killed off, so usually the ones on the citizen's board.

Great video really looking forward to this game WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION ON THIS GAME ,

[@ModernTablegamer]

@BTS ARMY Thanks so much! I ended up really liking this one although some of the details of packing up from one game to another are tedious. For gameplay, I think the ebb and flow of power and temporary alliances you have to form to slide into victory give this a dimension that is deeper than just what is on the table. I also like it because it reminds me of a Pax game that married Root :)

[@marcosvoce]

I love your tutorials! Congratulations on them (used the Pax Porfiriana and Pax Pamir 2e ones)! Since you also seem to love these complex games, would you mind doing a tutorial for Pax Renassaince 2e pretty please?

[@ModernTablegamer]

Hi Marcos! I love your suggestion for Pax Ren 2e. This is honestly one that is on my list to get as there have been a couple of request for it (and I know I'll like it too ). Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@lisamarin8836]

Thanks for this! I have a question re: setting up the next game. If the Chancellor won the game by keeping the Oath, do the Citizens from that game start the next game as Citizens also, or will all other players start the next game as Exiles?

[@ajsutty]

This video is amazing! and has helped me so much for teaching the game to others... I may even have sushi now because of the use of chopsticks :)

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks Adam! I'm glad this one was helpful. Now time to eat :)

[@thelyghter7927]

Thanks for that Excellent Video!!! My new best boardgame rules channel is yours!!! As a request, would be vrrat if you do a video with the Clockwork Prince, the Solo Mode for Oath, as its tricky.

[@thomasgibson3606]

Question: Why did Acting Troupe have a secret on it in the 5 mistakes section? Can you use advisors in some way when they don't have a cost? Great video by the way! Always so helpful.

[@hakunamatatafe]

Why indeed? Same thought

[@romanroyale2863]

Imperial allies do not share battle plans in their advisors (The law 5.5.3)

[@CozyholicCorner]

If you have mercenaries as your advisor and you pay the one favour, where does it go at the end of your turn? Back to you or to the discord favour bank?

[@彭嘉铭]

我爱你，视频做的太棒了

[@Feralzen]

I really want to like that game but there's so many rules and exceptions! It's like learning french!!!

[@chand911]

Everyone should know. The decks at the end are split into 12 - 15 - Remain not 10 - 15 - Remain

[@activeaxon]

That's incorrect. It's a typo in the chronicle aid sheet, but it's 10 denizens + 2 visions for 12 cards in the stack. It's printed correctly on the board and in the Law.
