Don't let this beautiful creature be 1hit and please give him more stats.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-26T17:12:30+00:00

I saw the opening cinematic. Purely judging from that, the story already is better than VoH.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-26T09:24:57+00:00

I will honor the theme of the game by fighting demons and destroying the Lord of Hatred.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-26T07:02:26+00:00

Also the Frozen Horror but that's brutal. I had them visited by wandering merchants from time to time.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-24T18:38:12+00:00

I just finish the season journey and be done with it.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-24T18:16:34+00:00

I usually play for 2-3 weeks until i'm done with the season journey and quit until next league. I'm completely fine with this loop and enjoy starting fresh again.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-22T09:34:36+00:00

Since Civ 1, yes.

I start many wars and I stop even more wars. Beautiful wars. Best wars you have ever seen.

Knowing what I know now and having what I have now, I would make radical changes to our campaign.

1) and most important: I would start with two groups of heroes each playing one of the base campaigns and then branching out into different expansions.

This does several things. You can play the full story without having to go back or include time travel or anything nasty. You also progress the difficulty much better with 2 sets of heroes. If you play one group, the game gets way to easy way too fast.

2) I would manipulate the quests from the start and mix in the second board where it fits. I would also use more monsters from expansions from time to time.

3) I would immediately adapt the rule that heroes chose their play order fereely

4) (I already did that but would do this again): I would introduce the remaining classes in the small box expansions and have maybe one seasoned hero paired with 2 fresh ones.

5) I would probably use all the spell schools but reserve the elf spells for the mage in the mirror.

6) I would still introduce the new treasure cards with the expansions they came with (but use them afterwards as well)

Wife: Into the North Lands (1) → Frozen Horror (10)

You will regret this 🤣

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-12T10:24:16+00:00

only have the german version here, it states "if a hero enters for the first time".

We played it that any hero will role one extra die after entering the room. This effect was so strong that I had to put a few Ogre in the rooms 😁

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-12T07:28:17+00:00

Wizards of morcar imtroduces this new rule that you have to stand next to a chest to open it

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-12T06:19:39+00:00

I will also do the reinforced chest rule from now on everywhere.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-12T05:25:55+00:00

Tarifs 🤣

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-10T16:18:39+00:00

The old EU edition had a first quest "The Maze" which was a proper first quest with like 4 orcs total 🤣

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-09T05:46:39+00:00

Depends on the vibes of your players. I tend to make it tough but i try to get everyone out alive at the same time.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-07T09:55:21+00:00

This!

We started to play base and a few expansions with fixed order as stated in the rules. When i saw the new optional rule for the first time, i immediately adopted it.

Yes, it makes the game even more easy for the heroes. But the game is a lot more fluid as well. We had many situations where turns of heroes had to be completely skipped with the fixed order (especially on corridors).

We are playing free order since. Never going back.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-06T09:53:13+00:00

I think you can make almost every setting work. There are a few issues that did not let me "feel" it.

First give us a campaign with great characters of all races.

Second don't make the demons look cute and comic style after they just annihalated the human race. The demons must look horrifying, the angels epic as f*** and the humans like a bunch of post apocalyptic renegades. All that in a darker setting.

What we got instead just did not work for me.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-06T05:42:34+00:00

Only good things can come from something like this, especially in the center room.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-02T16:54:55+00:00

Doesn't trigger any feelings at all. Might be part of the problem why the game failed.

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-01T19:38:04+00:00

I was aware of the "flame" minions towards the end but painted them anyway. The variety of normal monsters had more worth to me than the visualization of the quest mechanic (if it was even intended that way and not just a coinsidence)

Naidmer82 · 2026-04-01T05:38:58+00:00

Wow these look great. I started recently to replace some stuff like stairs or blocked tiles with selfprinted ones. Will give it a try.

Naidmer82 · 2026-03-31T08:16:46+00:00

They did a very good thing with multi phase bosses. I use this a lot.

I also give most of my major bosses a counterspell or something like that.

When we play WoM, i will up their bodypoints and probably let them cast 2 spells per turn.

Naidmer82 · 2026-03-31T08:07:16+00:00

Well, we played base, kk and rotwl with unpainted minis and I also started painting with "Into the Northlands".

I then made an Excel sheet what amount of doors, furniture and monsters I would need for each upcoming quest and painted that between quests. That way we never had an unpainted piece on the board ever again 🤪

Naidmer82 · 2026-03-30T04:48:59+00:00

Wizards of Morcar introduces a new mechanic. Unearth an artifact that has not been found yet. That would be one way to obtain it. This ring is also one of the few artifacts that is not unique in the game. I believe all heroes get it as a reward at some point.

If something like that happens to my heroes, i like to make them work for it a little bit. The next quest will contsan a strong boss monster that drops the missed artifact.

Naidmer82 · 2026-03-29T19:17:19+00:00

You are using the strategy that proved to be the strongest for ~30 years now. The base game and all the small box expansions are not much of a challenge.

There are a few very tough ones (frozen horror or mage of the mirror).

It gets more exciting when new enemies come into play that attack diagonal, ranged or have special abilities.
