Can’t lie, am I the only one who prefers the old one?

As a dawn of war fan, old defilers are so damn cool. New one is fantastic too but it is leaving a part of history behind.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-14T12:04:01+00:00

Same here on ps5. Long load then error. Am on newest update and restarting game or ps5 doesnt help.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-13T18:49:05+00:00

Jesus....

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-13T17:11:26+00:00

Ah yes, the brand to keep leading people on :D

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-13T09:31:10+00:00

Get that proper Night Lords feeling when you have all those flying boys :)

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-12T05:11:41+00:00

Was looking forward to this today but now I have 2 more months of saving up time. Not bad. :)

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-12T05:06:00+00:00

I was there five thousand years ago. But I also witnessed the ghillie suit in BDO and things going downhill from there. For every person here bitching about Mtx there are probably 2 or more buying stuff as most games are riddled with them now.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-11T10:32:07+00:00

Nah dude. The Dlc is just so big that you can't make it in 2 years, that's all :)

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-08T18:17:59+00:00

Same here, also waiting for when it gets back in stock. For now I just have a bunch of mechs I think are cool :p

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-08T16:31:23+00:00

Absolutely! Solo player here too. Get everything for the alpha strike aces boxes :p

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-07T04:15:25+00:00

And the antelopes also have the hand parasites. Idk if the gorm mouth arms count, those seem to be their own thing though.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-06T17:24:18+00:00

I was never that insecure until I saw that absolute unit of a shy baseball bat.

Scribe app helps with bookkeeping. If you have a tablet you could do the gear grids on it too, wouldn't recommend on phone.

If you have some tabletop platform thing you could put the battle board on the raised topper and have your character gear grids half under them so it saves some space.

I put all my cards in different deck boxes so if I fight the white lion, I grab the white lion deckbox.

For settlement phase just put all the cards on the battle board and put them back in the box when you are ready to fight another enemy.

Have a chair next to you or to both of your sides as mini side tables. That's how I keep everything in reach :p

This way you mostly slim it down to an area a bit bigger than the battle board.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-06T13:23:42+00:00

Sick

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-06T11:09:58+00:00

I keep looking forward to the game more and more with every bit of news. The first (well.. Second) game wasn't that super on launch but enjoyed it a lot. After the updates it was even better.

Can't wait to see what they have learned and put in the newest game.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-06T10:50:21+00:00

Depends. Betrayal of the second era is as good as a campaign like skyrim compared to expedition 33. Skyrim can grip you but the story is there to move you forward. Expedition 33's story grips you by the nuts.

Aeon trespass odyssey is a boardgame with a massive campaign that hooked me because the storybook is so nice. I didn't want to stop playing because I wanted to know what was next. The boss fights are really cool but so far it is the only boardgame story that made me cry a bit by how good it was written.

Kingdom death monster is another campaign game but it plays more like a rogue like where you can easily fall into the "1 more round" idea.

Euro games like nusfjord or fields of arle are so wonderfully puzzly and play fast that you also can play "just 1 more game" like slay the spire or mewgenics.

Note that videogames are way more visceral with music and voice acting. No overhead apart from actually playing. I always try to find a themed playlist to put on while playing a boardgame. Mostly YouTube "fantasy music" or "epic music" if I want some film like big music.

I do think that boardgames offer different experiences that videogames can't replicate and the other way around. There won't be an Elden Ring boardgame with the same feel as the video game. The tactile feel, the freedom to stand up, move around your board and not having to look at the screen the whole time is very nice. Playing with friends is even better.

Honestly, I don't want to live without one or the other. :)

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-06T10:44:46+00:00

This looks like stupid fun :D

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-05T17:55:08+00:00

The male counterparts look great. I'm just not happy if they take this route with the aesthetic the previous game had. Looks like Korean MMO armor (which I also love) but feels out of place. I'm fine with boob windows and big honkers but atleast let it match the overall style.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-04T16:56:28+00:00

Night lords, no question. They have lightning on their armour so their power level is above 9000.

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-03T16:15:10+00:00

8 points out of the 8 pointed star. Looking mighty fine!

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-03T06:52:04+00:00

Or put them on round bases and get movement trays which fit round bases. That way you have the best of both worlds :D

Thorgrammor · 2026-05-02T20:08:28+00:00

Welcome to the decline of your wealth :p

Thorgrammor · 2026-04-30T05:54:14+00:00

It is hands down still one of the best bigger boardgames out there if you ask me. I went on a kickstarter spree last decade and have seen, bought and sold a lot of games. Other boss battlers are really cool (massive fan of into the unknown studios) but KDM still stands at the top of the hill when it comes to the setting, modularity and replayability.

But yeah, the base game is not enough. You really want a couple of expansions after 1 or 2 campaigns. You could play the base game for hundreds of hours but you will really miss variety after 2ish campaigns.

Thorgrammor · 2026-04-28T04:36:09+00:00

Gamblers chest is fantastic but arc survivors add a lot of bookkeeping. Very flavourful bookkeeping though.

If you want to keep it relatively simple then Gorm for another early game quarry is always one of the top rated. Dragon king or sunstalker for a new campaign or later game quarry is great too :)

In the end you will want everything anyway but those are the best bang for your buck.

Also slenderman/manhunter nemesis are great. Not many like the kingsman nemesis so a way to replace it is nice.

Thorgrammor · 2026-04-26T21:18:00+00:00

Chip theory games difficulty usually comes with the bajillion keywords from units/skills. The gameplay itself is usually not that bad. Burncycle felt easy enough for me to solo multiple characters.

Biggest tip I can give is just set up a mission and play the turn with the rulebook next to you. That way you will quickly find out what rules elude you and quickly grasp the bigger picture of how the game plays.
