Oath Chronicles of Empire and Exile - Setup & Rollover Between Games (Companion to How to Play)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi everyone, we recommend watching this after you watch how to play video, so it make sense more :D, then come back to this one. Link to how to play video is here- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmGYcq2Ljsedf9E. Please let me know if you have any questions, feedback, and if you enjoy it, that would be helpful :) Thank you for watching!

Very helpful aid! The only thing I saw that wasn't caught by others is at 4:49 You only flip the top site of a region if there is no face up site in the whole region.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Chris, yes, thanks for the catch; you are correct.

[@sonderby]

Spotted a small error in the video - when building an edifice it has to match the suit of the denizen removed. In the video a Nomad denizen card is removed and replaced with a Discord edifice

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks, sonderby. Yes, you are correct. The edifice must match the denizen removed.

[@docteurslump5517]

Excellent and crystal clear video, thank you !

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting us know 🙏

[@Crosbie71]

Thanks for this! Very useful. At 3:14 though, your example edifice doesn’t match the suit of the denizen card it replaces. It should match I think! (8.3.1)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Yes, Paul, thanks. Yes, you are correct. The new edifice should match the denizen removed.

[@viktorkm]

Amazing video! Thanks for doing this Stella and Terrant!

Your Oath videos are so clear! Any plans on making one about the Clockwork Prince?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much! Hmm not at the moment, but who knows. Thank you for your kind words!

[@moonpost]

excellent video resource for OATH, thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much! :D

[@JustTheTrick]

What is the music you’ve used in the video? I’m convinced it’s from World of Goo, but also it sounds like it’s from Sunshine.

[@MeepleUniversity]

I cant remember sorry. It's either one of those free from KZbin, or part of our subscription to free stocks😄

[@crazy_potato9820]

When roling over the world deck what happens if the winning player has cards of only one suit or two?

[@GuilhermeNeri100]

And if a impirial player wins and it has a ruin edifice that he controls?

[@sonderby]

If you want to reset the game and start over but don't want to go through the walkthrough (ie using the prechosen sites, and other cards) what's the correct way of doing such a setup?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Can't see any rules for that, maybe we miss something. Or in errata. Maybe would need to do the initial playthrough setup first, then start from there, but not sure if there's any direct setup sorry.

[@blakraven66]

Not official but based on the prechosen setup: Separate Denizens into the different suits and shuffle. Make the World Deck with 9 cards from each suit then follow the setup here where you separate into three stacks of 10, 15, and 29. Mix 2 visions in the 10 stack, and 3 visions in the 15 stack. Put on top of each other. There should be 59 total cards in the deck. Discard 1 card from bottom of the deck into each region discard pile. Give Chancellor the Scepter. Shuffle Relics and deal 4 facedown to the Reliquary. Randomize the sites facedown. Flip sites faceup on top of each region, placing relics, favors, or secrets as indicated in the top left of each site. Draw from the bottom of the deck and put a denizen on each face up site, discard if advisor only card following discard rules. Place 2 purple warbands and chancellor pawn on the top site of the cradle, and 1 purple warband in the top site of Provinces and Hinterlands. Place indicated Favors, Secrets, and Warbands onto playerboards. Deal 3 cards to each player. Move visions accordingly. Place pawn in a face up site. Choose 1 card and place facedown in advisors, discard the rest following discard rules Use Oath of Supremacy.

[@MeepleUniversity]

@@blakraven66 Oh wow interesting. Always good to see that the game is well loved, there is unofficial rules :D Thanks for sharing!

[@enknot]

@@blakraven66 WHY ISN'T THIS IN THE DANG RULE BOOOOOOK! Where did you find this info tho?

[@enknot]

@@blakraven66 You didn't specific directly but both banners should be near the board with one favor and secret on it's receptive banner.

[@Gtomer]

thanks. I see now that we made some mistake when packing up after our first game. I thought it was build or repair and edifice on every site that I rule, I choose. I'll have to go back and replace those edifice back. I think I'll be able to find the old cards.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Tomer, no problems, there are...alot of rules, hope it helps for the next game. Might have to setup to the suggested playthrough I think.

[@antondovydaitis2261]

Domo Arigato.

[@MeepleUniversity]

You're welcome!

[@benji-menji]

What I the the Chronicle Book used for?

[@benji-menji]

If anyone can't see their reply, It was just them saying that it's used to record your games and that they didn't cover it because they wanted it "unused." I think the real rason they didn't use it is that the book is a separate purchase if you don't have the kickstarter version.

[@stuartalt7418]

What do you do with the winner's advisors?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Stuart. The winner's advisors are gathered up and shuffled back into the final rebuilding the World Deck - so they never get removed to Dispossessed, but they are otherwise not given any special treatment compared with the other cards.

[@wishmeheaven]

Mmm... The question is how to setup the first game.. 🤔

[@danielpiccirillo6820]

There is a step by step tutorial which I highly recommend. The cards in the deck are in a very specific order so they line up with every step of the tutorial. So don't you start unwrapping and shuffling those decks before opening the rulebook. Also be wary of used copies.

[@wishmeheaven]

@@danielpiccirillo6820 Thank you, but I do have more challenging question: How do you setup your first game FOR THE SECOND GROUP, after the first already did their thing (which end up pretty messy)
