I picked up the Old Dominion as a second army to use when i want a break from Nords.

[@jamessmall7850]

I just started old dominion, this has been very helpful!

[@Nidhoggrr]

Para actually gave an explanation for some of the wording so the "oi" is pronounced "ee", meaning "Athanatoi" is "Athanatee" and "Buccephaloi" is "Buccephalee" and so on and so forth.

[@tableitgaming]

I had heard them pronounce some of the units with an "ee" on the end on streams before but wasn't sure if that was a general rule, because I think I've heard the "oi" as "oi" before as well. Good to know!

[@Nidhoggrr]

@@tableitgaming It's because they are taking a lot of the words from old Greek, so none of the names sound like how we would pronounce with modern English. Which is cool since it's something new to learn.

[@DocPhantoms]

The strategos also gives everyone that free additional reform/combat reform which is really useful for positioning

[@tableitgaming]

That is true! It's basically a stronger Fluid Formation and that's one of the best rules in the game already!

[@Connordaboss45]

23:10 Run a xilarch with 2 units of varangian guard. That saves you 100 points. As opposed to to running a unit of legionaires to get 1 unit of varangian

[@tableitgaming]

Feels worth it to run more of what you want vs things you don't!

[@erikoftheinternet]

hot takes start at 2:55 and they don't stop

[@evanuphil]

picking this army up now and this helps a lot! thanks!

[@evanuphil]

army lists would be great. how to build armies and what the units would be good at and what the game plan would be, stuff to look out for, etc.

[@tableitgaming]

This is something we're considering doing either as either additional videos or to cap off further army list reviews!

[@andrewwallin871]

Solid review. Would like to see the rest of the factions. Specifically Nords would be great.

[@tableitgaming]

We'll have to force Brannen to bring his Nords out again and shake off the rust! :) Thanks for the kind words!

[@markus1351]

FD needs eternal discipline

[@tableitgaming]

Interesting! In our experience force multipliers are more valuable than personal buffs especially with how expensive the Dark Blessings are - but then again these are our Hot Takes, not our "well-researched and backed with actual experience" takes :)

[@markus1351]

​​@@tableitgamingyeah but that's how FD Lists Play Keeping her alive is the swinging element, so for Lists with her Personal Buffs are really strong. As you noted, she has a Lot of keywords ^^ this one she missing

[@storminmormon]

Y’all need to get your audio set up. One of you is whispering and the other is blowing my ear drums out.

[@tableitgaming]

Sorry about that! After recording we realized Isaac's mic never turned on so it was Brannen's collecting all the sound. We listened with several sets of headphones and speakers and determined that while it wasn't high quality it also didn't destroy the footage, so instead of re-recording from scratch we decided to roll with it. Sorry to hear that with your setup the audio experience was worse than we anticipated! Future videos will (hopefully) not have such issues at all! Thanks for your comment!

[@constantinos2626]

isaac is always wrong.

[@tableitgaming]

Even Isaac himself admits this... wait a second, that means...!
