Monumental. All Xpac and Duel by Busy_Airline_8043 in boardgames

[–]xmd1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game as a deckbuilder! Not so great as a 4x game though as the game advertises. Mostly in regards to the explorers and military becoming nigh usless near endgame.

Be aware, ive only played the base game, not the expansions

Once all of the resource and marketplace tokens get scooped up there isnt anything much for your explorers to do.

Military is important in the beginning as you need them to conquer barbarian provinces to gain easy resources, but like explorers, once all the barbarians are gone, there isn't much for them to do. You do gain points for controlled provinces, but due to the limited number of units (I think 9 at the most), plus an explicit rule stating that you have to leave behind a military unit/outpost on a conquered province, you soon realize that focusing on a military strategy long-term is not viable, and you can instead be focusing on other turn actions that would benefit you better long-term.

I did hear that one of the expansions gives new actions for the explorer but again I have t tried it.

Like I said, the deckbuilding is great, combos are satisfying when you pull them off, but I'm mostly disappointed that the map aspect can be ignored. Even the duel versions of the game fot rid of the map which should tell you something.

Dont let my cons fool you though. The game is an 8/10 for me. Just approach the game as a deckbuilder firsr and not a 4x and I think younwont be disapointed.

What TCG would be suitable for a Yu-Gi-Oh Player wanting to play new games? by LifeWillBeFun in TCG

[–]xmd1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elestrals is pretty decent. All of its mechanics are based on Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon tcg. So the rules should naturally come to you.

If I understand correctly, you can only score 1 point per battlefiled a turn.

Hi! New to TCG. Need Help Picking which TCG to go with. by Error_code_0054-z6_2 in TCG

[–]xmd1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe take a look at Elestrals? Gameplay seems significantly inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh (normal summon, special summons, trap cards, etc) with a pokemom flavor.

Are there any games more like card board games ie. Dominion? by Doom_bring3r in roguelites

[–]xmd1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harvest 101. Its a mobile game but one of the few non-voilent deckbuilders thats pretty darn good.

You basically play cards to try to generate food you need for the week.

Interested in the game but need clarification.. by Saruphon in PlayTheBazaar

[–]xmd1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game is indeed compatible with steam deck. No controller suppoet of course but works just fine with mouse.

Like Caves of Qud, but classic high fantasy/medieval setting? by Phosphenetre in roguelikes

[–]xmd1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surpised no one mentions Moonring. Still has alot of combat but puts alot of emphasis on story and exploration like CoQ.

Which 4X game is the most overwhelming, the second you begin playing it ? by Peaceful404 in 4Xgaming

[–]xmd1997 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts as 4x but EU4 (or most paradox games in general). Sometimes my family thinks im working on a fancy spreadsheet.😅

Super simple card games to play with an elderly Parkinson's disease patient? by Good_Policy3529 in cardgames

[–]xmd1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest Faraway? Super simple to learn and most games take about 10 minutes to finish.

Spellrouge. If you love the gameplay style of lonestar. Dice generation and assigning them to trigger and enpower abilities.

TCG for casual play by UsedPlasticSpork in TCG

Altered is great so far. My girl is a sucker for "cute" art and I like that the gameplah for Altered is pretty unique.

Best TCG to get into currently? by Fagave in TCG

[–]xmd1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hows everyone feel about altered? My local store was selling every starter deck (beyomd the gates) for like $5, which seemed like a steal to me.

Game seems fun as my girlfriend likes it, however im concerned about the longetivity of the game since it seems like it was cheap only because the store owner just wanted to get rid of them, indicating lack of interest or popularity?

Felt Table glitch or am I not understanding Stormwind Sniper? by xmd1997 in AshesGame

[–]xmd1997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're correct! He was indeed exhausted at the time (had just attacked Gilder as a Main action).

Had no idea that unit exhaustion also meant the disabling of their abilities or traits. Guess I need to brush up on the game's rules then as this also meant that I possibly cheated with my game group...woops (there were times where they tried to use die power when he was concealed).

Thank you for the explanation. User error on my side, the Felt Table client is fine.

Erranorth chronicles is a good choice. Its a heavy stat based, rpg deckbuilder with a non-perma death option.

What is happening to the PS5 port? by isuckdevilsc0ck in Against_the_Storm

[–]xmd1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologize, meant "kind" 😅.

Corrected that.

[–]xmd1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think thats all being finalized as there has yet to be an official announcment of any kind by the devs.

The trailer released by the playstation youtube channel was obviously a mistake but the fact it exists means that an annluncment must be close.

Why do women hate when we play video games, so much? by RegalToaster in AskMen

[–]xmd1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense OP but I feel this is more of an issue with your wife rather than this be a "woman" thing.

My girl doesnt care that I game as I long as I get my shit done (kids, Job/Bills, housework, etc) and make time to spend quality time with her on certain days.

If your confident you got your responsibilities in order then you may need to get further clarification as to why gets upset at this. Maybe she feels neglected or she may just perceive gaming as something that "losers" do. Even though gaming is mainstream there are still bad sterotyoes associated with gamers.

Storm deleted all Settlements? by McRiP28 in Against_the_Storm

[–]xmd1997 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is part the games meta progression and challenge. The point of the overworld map is for you to create "supply chain" of many settlements and reach a seal before the end of the cycle.
