Nova Aetas Renaissance Campaign Playthough Mission 0.0

[@SarimRune]

Really great playthrough. I enjoy your enthusiasm. A few issues: Attack the Heroes isn't really a true mission goal, but I think you were getting that as you played. True mission goals have to have a threat number next to them. 1:01 - Each act of healing actually increases your threat by 1 (it's not one per health gained, just once per healing act). So the priest would have increases his threat a couple of times. 1:05:45 - Your instinct was correct but you changed your mind. The right most enemy would have gone after the priest because the priest had higher threat than the Squire, was within the control range and he could still make an attack. The south enemy would have attacked the Squire because he could move and make an attack against the priest. 1:09:38 - Crits are effects, just like her Lethal. So you use the dice only to determine which effects trigger. The lethal doesn't allow the crit to trigger. 1:12:05 - Around this point, you started treating 5+ as successes on attacks. You need 6+ to harm those enemies.

This looks very very interesting, love how they integrated exploration between the skirmishes. Something most crawlers are lacking. It also looks incredibly beautiful. So tempting to jump into this one...

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Spycom you have touched on the things the I have really enjoyed in this game. with the card break up it really helps keep this foot print down of course this is only my first mission. We will be continueing so stay tuned!!!

Been wiating for this! Epic start to this crazy world. Ive been excited too see you play this since i opened my box and realised i wont be playing for a while while i slowly paint it all first. Great video as always sir

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you. Yes need to paint more of this game so I can continue. But I might just have to play with what I got painted I’m too excited to stop playing 😃😃👍

[@CJ-kw1cz]

Holy moly thanks for the rescue! I’m getting worse and worse as I get closer to 60 in reading the rules’ ur da best!❤

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy the video!!! thanks for watching!!!

[@Gio-nr4sn]

Another awesome video. Thanks you so much for covering the game. I was listening while painting my stradiots. Ive seen this chapter covered by 3 youtubers before and your version was the most entertaining and easiest to follow. Great job. Few things. Had you yaken the window you could have sneaked out and attempt escaping or even send sophia to the roof for snipping purpose. All crits count. Even if it is the killing blow. It also makes sense thematically if you see an enemy that kills your comrade with a gruesome blow, your mind would automatically put that guy as dangerous. So it makes sense that a crit is counted and adds to the perillium. I dont think you can get twice the same status in the same round and therefore they shouldn't be cumulative, but ill double check the rules tomorrow. Honestly i hope you continue the great work. Amazing game so far.

[@Gio-nr4sn]

Yep I double checked you can't have twice the same status token on an enemy or character unless you can transfer that token to an item

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you Gio!!! this is great I appreciate the help. Im glad you enjoyed it. I was wondering how to get the #9 card I totally forgot that I hadn't checked the window. I am surprised at how brutal it was to lose all your loot. Thanks for telling me about the multiple status effects. I missed that when I read the rules. Thanks for all your help and thanks for watching more to come!!!

[@alainbrosseau]

Great job Bairnt. I just received it yesterday. Can't wait ... It's probably going to happen during the holidays.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

NICE!!! hope you enjoy it. I have been presently surprised by how awesome this game is so far. Always a pleasure to hear from you

[@michaeledmonds4849]

Only one token for each status effect can be placed on an enemy, and for a hero only one status effect can be placed on their character sheet at a time...but sometimes you can place a status effect on an item which doesn't count against the limit on the hero character sheet.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you Michael!!! Yes missed that in the rules. Thanks for catching that! Good to know about the items. Thanks 😃😃👍

[@bb_summernp2881]

Greath greath video!! I like your videos because you focus the camera on the tiles and on the dice rolling. and not just a camera with a long viewe of entire table. In this case the result with 3d buildings and tree are superb!! Compliments also because play four heroes on this game isn't so simple. The game is not too complicate but there the risk to miss something. If i may i correct some errors you make. On hero card you can have only one status token, so for example Vincenzo cannot have two bless token and Valerio cannot have two bleed token. There some exeption to this rule. Some equipements can carry on more status token (the shard of Rebecca for example) but this is specified directly on the card. On 1:05:25 the target must to be Rebecca because his perilium was the higher value. One time the rarget are chosen the enemy try to attack that target also if they don't have enought action point. Look on the main manual IA chapter. There is a good example with Vincenzo-Sofia target. On Field boock the flow chart of IA is littel bit wrong. (LMS guys say some FAQ will correct that) The enemy change target only if the target cannot be reached due the path is obstructed... Anyway greath video!!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you so much for the great comment. I really appreciate the help. I am glad you enjoy the video. I missed those in the rules. I'll make sure to mention them in the next video and put a comment in the video. I hope the FAQ will cover one of these I wasn't quite sure of. Thanks for watching

[@brendan3307]

Great timing - i just started this and played this scenario this afternoon. Really helps to see someone else go through the rules. I have a couple comments in addition to what others noted already: * The way i read Lethal is that it does 1 extra damage - regardless of how many moons rolled. It works different than Rebecca's Arcane Arrow. * Threat is increased when a hero does a healing (removes a damage token). So Vincenzo should have been increasing his threat when healing Valerio. * Enemy AI - I played it that Attack the Hero's path should be followed since that is the mission goal. In this case, they would attack the highest threat in their control area. - so in your play, they would have gone for Vincenzo near the end. However, i agree that it is confusing and your approach (following Mission Goal path) may be correct. Great job! Hopefully you can get some loot next mission.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Great to hear from you William!!! hope you enjoy it when you get a chance!! this game is super fun!! Thanks for the heads up about those rules I'll make sure to make a note in the video!! thanks for watching!!!

[@jerrodhuber8119]

Fun video! Wondering how characters evolve over the course of a campaign though. Most of Rebecca's turns were move and cast spell, Sofia used throwing knives, Valerio swords, etc. I know thats their weapon but it's still just one attack/action. Do characters get better/more choices for skills as the game goes on, or do they mostly keep spamming 1 skill? Trying to not watch too many gameplay videos to avoid spoiling the game

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Sadly it's been a while can't remember what they get as they advance. I haven't played much past where the videos end on the channel sorry I couldn't be much more help.

[@michaeledmonds4849]

Looks interesting, I did order a copy after your unboxing video.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Nice I have been really surprised at how much fun it is. It has enough difference for me to enjoy it compared to others like it. You will have to tell me how it goes when you get your copy!! 😃😃👍

[@gabrielecordone4967]

Amazing Video thanks! I think there are some small inaccuracies in the management of enemy AI at 28:00 . That of this mission is a particular example because the Mission Goal of the enemies is the same as in the case where there is no Mission Goal (attack the Heroes) And this can cause confusion

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I've been waiting 3 years for this damn game. It looks perfect. When you paint do you use a white base or black. Or none?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I will say it is worth the wait. I have been really enjoying this game. As for the base I use a light grey primer and use contrast paints. Hope that helps. Hope you enjoy the game. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍

[@michaeledmonds4849]

Got my Core Box today! (Still waiting for the expansions that should be in transit). It looks like there is room in the storage trays to hold sleeved cards? Did you sleeve yours, and if so did they indeed fit? Mainly looking at all the mini cards, not the character or missions cards.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I have sleeved some of the cards and the fit well so far. Sadly no matter how hard they try it is always tough to make the perfect insert for any game it seems like

Hello! A bit late to the party… I had other games to play! 🙄🤣 I was wondering if the graphic on the tile (1B) represent obstacles. The way I placed mine, the 1B was at the bottom right and so there seemed to be some old building foundations blocking my view… Was I correct?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

It’s been a. While since I have played but I think they are just graphics to add to the tiles I don’t think they have any significance unless the mission says so 😃😃👍

[@Deltium5683]

Thanks for the play-through. It’s really hard to assess whether to invest in this game relative to all of the other campaign games out there. Can you please give some relative comparison analysis to the other leaders on this genre?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

In can do my best to help you decide if this is for you. Here are a few things that are unique. First it’s a D8 system that I don’t see that often. And the dice have symbols that can affect abilities. The turn order is refreshing in a dungeon crawl system. Most are take your turn wait til it’s your turn again. This you can choose to hold some of the turn so that you go again earlier. The board has 3d elements that are cool. I haven’t played enough to know if the story holds up, or what the level ing system looks like. Not sure if any of this helps. I know Board Game Co did a first impression video that might help you as well. I enjoy it and it is planing to remain in my collection. If it helps more videos on the way. Thanks for the great question and thanks for watching 😃😃👍

Was thinking how much I like the resolution of the AI enemy turn by rolling defence die, while watching Doug Mystic Eye's playthrough. Just watching now, the arquebusier just hit Sophie. The problem not having a "to hit roll" and having to defend with a 7+ seems like it's hard for the arquebusiers to miss, when the weapons (afaik) weren't that reliable. Anyway, having got that off my chest like a curmudgeonly old grognard, I'll shut up, kick back and enjoy the fun! lol

Hey bud, I think you have 3 issues with your video. First off, well... your thumbnail says 'Campign' instead of Campaign. Secondly, your video title says: Campaign Playthouygh; not Campaign Playthrough. And the timestamp in the description for the Campaign Setup and Story, doesn't work because it says: 14.45 not 14:45.
