7:40 Fifteen divided by two "rounding down" is seven, not eight

@RTFM 3 ай бұрын

@@jsibleytube The amount that you lose is rounded down, so half of 15 is 7.5, meaning you'll lose 7. The rule is a little confusing, which is why I made sure to include an example.

You are by far my favorite person to watch for learning board games :) looking forward to finally pick up Arcs when the game is restocked in my local store in September. Gonna see if it's good enough first hand to get the expansions that seems neat too.

I was going to say that I'm not sure if I vote Rodney or Shea, as they're both spectacular, but then I realized that I've watched a number of Shea's videos for games I don't have and don't expect to play, but I don't do that for Rodney ... so I guess that's your answer!

Thank you so much! And yeah, trying the base game first is a good idea.

I'd like everyone to take two giant steps back and think of how rotten the internet has made your mind if you're commenting negatively about a persons appearance.

Rule of thumb is, "would you say that to their face." If still would say mean things in person, then just realize you are one of the bad guys. Or maybe one of my Mexican aunts.

7:38: A small mistake. Half of 15, rounded down, should be 7. A wonderful video as always! Thank you! Edit: I was incorrect, see RTFM’s response below.

@RTFM 2 ай бұрын

So this is actually why I included the example, because the way it's worded is a little confusing. You don't round down the total, you round down how much you lose. With half of 15 being 7.5, that means you'll lose 7 points, putting you at 8.

@crispthedm Ай бұрын

@@RTFM I want to say I had the same reaction. "You lose half your points, rounding down [the amount you lose / the amount you have left]" is ambiguous, and while it's clarified by your example it still feels weird. I would suggest that "You keep only half your points, rounding up" conveys the intended meaning without ambiguity.

At 23:50 it is mentionned that flagships can't tax a system. I'm not sure it's true. A basic flagship can tax a system. An updated flagships with control array that is positionned in a gate can tax any cities in the cluster as if it is loyal. Am I mistaken?

@RTFM Ай бұрын

Ah, that's a good catch! Looks like I misread a rule. I'll add a note there. Thanks!

@user-cw4zj6kc8u 2 ай бұрын

I'm a little confused with negotiations. From the reading of the text it seems like I'm giving up my resources and control and influence. This makes sense with favors in that you force players to do this to each other, but it doesn't make sense if I'm doing this freely. Am I reading that wrong? Are players just able to trade resource, control and influence or is it specifically I'm just giving players my resources or control and influence?

@Dreadnote-pf7of Ай бұрын

It is meant to reprisent that you get an agreement with other player and then you both do this resources, like "okay. I've swap my agent with an agent of a rival, you. Then you swap your ship to my ship, deal?" So negatiation phase is an open-ended player-driven exchange. You don't need to go 1:1, as stated in example in rulebook and if situation calls that - you could just dump stuff yo player that you want to help. One thing is that is must be accepted by both sides. So yeah, while it stated kinda in unusual way this is how I think it must work. And if I remember correctly this vibe of forces actions (like "I swap my ship with a ship of a rival") is worded this way because you WOULD force other players to trigger them via return of favor when you trigger Council meeting

@user-cw4zj6kc8u Ай бұрын

@@Dreadnote-pf7of So what you're saying is that it's just giving examples of what you can negotiate and you can freely negotiate them. So for example I'll give you fuel if you give me control of gate 4.

Because you play fewer chapters, it can run a little less than a typical game of Arcs, but it heavily depends on your play group. And the first time you play you should expect a little extra for people to get used to the new rules.
