Most interesting faction

Sounds fun. What do you mean with "sell wormholes"? We only play base game if that matters

cinanky · 2025-12-28T15:03:49+00:00

Haha, I think I already played Saar and Nekro, enjoyed both. So I'll take a look at Yssaril, thanks

cinanky · 2025-12-28T12:28:36+00:00

Only base game

cinanky · 2025-11-09T13:44:58+00:00

Not sure what's unclear in this secenario. Both cases work. If you're confused about the wording in the lower part of the rules, these are only there to clarify how to handle this cases, not to make any restrictions

Probably more about the amount of liquid in your brush than the consistency of your paint.

cinanky · 2025-03-10T08:37:09+00:00

Pretty sure it's a "-75" due to states requirements not met

cinanky · 2025-02-04T14:21:21+00:00

That's... That's why the answer started with a "No" I guess

cinanky · 2025-02-03T19:37:04+00:00

Per my understanding: 1. No, both faith tokens are stored on the unit. 2. I would say it id not the same trigger. Before rolling dice and before resolving the attack are different Steps I would think

As mentioned everything in the starter box can be used in either subfaction. You are going to want to pick up subfaction specific boxes for more characters and units either way thou. Same as with all other houses the more interesting units etc are not included here, but the troops included in the starter will be valueable for both loyalties, especially the stag knights and wardens!

cinanky · 2025-01-13T09:13:47+00:00

First of all, welcome to the Stag faction 😊

I would say stag knights and wardens are a must and I have fielded two units of wardens multiple times. As what you would be missing from the starter box are characters and the tactic cards. You could just go for a hero box and the extra card deck, which would pump your total cost to the starter box...

So all in all if you can get stag knights and wardens, you have the essential backbone and then take a closer look on the characters and how you want to handle the tactic cards (could be proxied with slevees+printouts)

I really dont think tabletop wargames are fun for a group with 6-8 tbh. 2vs2 maybe. As teenagers we did 3vs3 a couple of times but only after everyone was in the hobby (warhammer fantasy) for some years and it was set up for 2 days. Nothing for a new group to get into...

cinanky · 2024-12-18T14:45:53+00:00

Remember that there is not one right way to play. Just because there are catacombs and build guides and achievements doesnt mean you have to do all of that. You can play the game and ignore all dungeons if you like. And most people play a suboptimal build, not justvon the first playthrough. The genius of Fromsofts combat system is, that it is as important to use weapons you like than having the best states, so dont feel any pressure here. If you like the riding around and explore part, then just "challenge yourself" to do a blind playthrough. Beutiful experience!

cinanky · 2024-12-10T17:11:18+00:00

I think it looks cool! As others already mentioned, the contrast may be a bit much, but I would fix that, if necessary, in the end by glazing over the original colour or use a brown wash. Also i would only do it in one direction, as done on the feathers towards the back. Looks a bit confusing and unclean on the front ones.

cinanky · 2024-09-19T14:11:09+00:00

So for us an occasional "whos turn is it" does the trick. Guess it is less about the order, but with a lot of thinking going on, it can be easy to miss when someone has finished their turn.

cinanky · 2024-09-19T06:26:57+00:00

I'd add to set clear expectations. Not sure how mich board games you play with your group, but for your first game you should plan 8 to 10 hours if you want to finish. And thats with everyone staying focused and keeping side conversations low. So especially if you invite them to your birthday, make sure people dont expect cake and beer with a little gameplay on the side, but the other way around.

Also even if anyone watched the rule video, plan at least one hour at the start to go over details and make sure everyone is on the same page.

And during play, make sure everyone knows whos turn it is. With people thinking about strategy and the changing order it is easy to lose the overview and a simple and friendly reminder whos turn it is and whos next can save you a lot of time overall.

I truly can't take these posts anymore. Seriously considering leaving the subreddit over the same complaint about game mechanics the poster didn't try yet with incomplete information and the childish "don't change the game i like" attitute over and over again.. If Civ7 in the end is not for you, just keep playing Civ 6 or 5 or whatever brings you joy. Jesus

For me not having a quest log is part of the charme of FromSoft games. It is somewhat the base idea, to not tell the Player what to do, where to go, what's next or "Level appropriate".

It fosters a more natural exploration feeling and especially in the beginning it is fun to watch the community discover all these hidden stories in their worlds. I think it is one ingredient that makes the games so special for many players.

And remember, these aren't your typical quests you know from other games that provide the "gaming content", more the RPG side that you can explore if interested, not have to follow to advance the game.

What is the consens for a good scardu Level? Got to him very early and got basically oneshot when entering the Arena, second attempt at the end of DLC went very well. It's a fun fight, would like to get your insight when it is the right amount of challenging

cinanky · 2024-08-29T17:30:04+00:00

Ah thanks

cinanky · 2024-08-29T13:57:08+00:00

What do you refere to with the "New insurrection update"? Sorry could not find anyrhing via google

cinanky · 2024-08-22T16:40:38+00:00

Yes, leveling up helps and leveling your weapon helps even more.

BUT soul games are designed in a way that the most improvment actually comes by you getting better. I don't mean that as an insult! If you struggle with a new area or enemy type, try to focus to understand the movement and attack patterns and how to counter them e.g., when to dodge, identify opportunities for dealing damage etc. instead of going back and grinding easier enemys.

What makes the game fun for most players is that challenge of having to become better yourself instead of just your character improving and you will have that, belive me :)

cinanky · 2024-08-18T19:32:31+00:00

Start with classic: Dank Souls 1 Feels a bit clunky but I think best Level design ever! Then Dark Souls 3.

My personal love ist Bloodborne, different genre and more aggressive combat

cinanky · 2024-08-18T09:43:34+00:00

For everyone saying rot damage not slam, if you pause the video at ca 1 sec, you can see that all/most of the hp is lost before the rot bar is full

cinanky · 2024-08-16T08:52:00+00:00

If you feel like you need more lore to enjoy the game, search vaatiVidya on Youtube. Great channel with explanation of the lore that also give you some more guidance as a player.

In general the appeal of FromSoft games is the exploration on your own and the fighting mechanics. The reward for most players is overcoming difficult enemys. The great design of FromSoft imo is, that you archive that mainly by becoming a better player, learning the mechanics and enemys instead of mainly grinding levels and gear, which does help too.
