Heroscape Common Clash #44 - Greenscale Warriors.
The Regal Court of Xenithrax lies beyond the vine-covered trees. The Greenscale Warriors pledge loyalty to defend Xenithrax's kingdom. The charge headlong into the swamp, cutting plant and foe to push a swath of clearing for their troops. Will they defend and make the opposing force rue the day they entered?

Heroscape Common Clash #38 - Marro Stingers
Yeah I also noticed the weapon on that green scale, really cool. I have 3d printed mesoamerican heroscape ruins that I like to use when I play them
@@smileydog5941 That is probably a cool set of terrain!
Great-looking map, Derek. My kind of battle - outdoors! Love the background nature sounds and ambience. I’ve always liked lizardmen factions and that iconic club weapon. I’ve played Heroscape a few times outside, so yours was especially cool to see
@@jonanjello It was a pleasant evening outside for sure. My back may not be happy with me, but the game was worth it!
Too funny as I watched you stoop and was thinking how much my own lower back would pay me later. lol
@@jonanjello Still paying for it over here! 🤣
lol the misery was fun, i need to get black into watching ur vids all the time, love em!
@VikingVern7 Thanks, glad you enjoy them!
Not sure why I rolled 6 Defense dice for Xenithrax on 26:49. Oops.
What a map also! Crazy to that you built it on a tree stump! Just stunning!!
@@annieannie4213 I may have to use this stump again sometime. It made me feel a little better as I was kind of sad watching it be cut down this morning.
So grateful for this upload. Come to really look forward to these and watch them before falling asleep lol!
@@annieannie4213 I am glad they are good enough to send you to sleep! 😂 Thank you for checking out my stuff. :)
I haven't checked the latest video yet, but will do it soon. However, I need to correct myself, since I gave you an incorrect advice last time. If a unit is flipped down from pack to few, the carried over damage is not reduced by the few side's defense. My apologies!
@@csabaidonat well, spoiler, I did it. 🤣. I will undo that change next time.
@@derekvash Sorry sorry sorry. Probably not gonna help you, but I played like 50 games incorrectly when yesterday I finally realized I played this rule wrong.
@csabaidonat that's okay. Just a chance for me to do better next time.
Pretty funny that you are trying to correct people all over the place on youtube and BBG and you mistaken one of the prime rules 😂
@@TyphonLeTitan I am not trying to correct anyone. I usually mention the corrections given to me.
Great rundown! Getting back into scape with the new sets and needed the refresher
@@thegatewaygamers Glad to help. Have fun gaming!
Great instruction, Derek. Such a fun set of units. It would have been epic to see the further waves beyond it. Perhaps some day...
@@jonanjello thank you for the encouraging words, as always!
@@derekvash Who's your favorites from this set? Red Skull, Hulk, and Spider-Man are so fun to play.
@@jonanjello Hulk all the way for me! Thanos and Abomination are others I enjoy.
19:55 you may be right about the light reflecting on the die, and camera lense thing. It looks like the shadow of your hand reveals the skull a moment before your hand touched it so i suppose i wont shout cheat
@@VikingVern7 haha! It was messing with me for a bit. Also, as you can tell by my shaky camera, lack of effects, and strange editing. . .I don't know how to add effects to a video to pull off a trick like that. 🤣
Does it really add a new tactic dimension to the combat? Or is it just spam top-tier units and let the dice decide?
@@artharionsanchez1793 I have not tried it, but it does change how they operate, but it still seems like the Bronze tier units are utterly trash. It is probably as you say, top tier units and dice.
Nice map. A concrete wasteland. It’s wild to see so many Granite Guardians - wow! Is that a Sherman tank? Fight Like a Brave is my favorite RHCP song.
@jonanjello Thanks, I myself was hoping to see the Granite Guardians again. Surely these Marrden Hounds can be taken down! That is actually a Tiger Tank. My favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song is "Can't Stop."
Subbed to your channel also
@Musicpins I appreciate it, thanks for watching my video. I hope my channel yields more enjoyment for you as you see more.
Hey Derek nice video! My gf and I continued our game today but I have my doubts regarding neutral units. Their special attack/ability many of them have on the card below the unit stats only apply if I have actually recruited the unit via diplomacy right? I mean some of them work out of combat so that tells me you would need a hero to use those abilities. We played with those at first and some neutral battles was brutal so we decided not to do that anymore.
@@Musicpins Some of the abilities will only work if you recruit them (like the Peasant), but many of them work just like one of your units would. Some of these neutral units are nasty! Them being a bit more powerful than the ones you recruit seem to be for a greater challenge when facing an AI enemy as it would be pretty easy if none of them did anything.
Ah okay, so it is supposed to be like that, sure as hell was a challenge! And we just played normal 😂
@Musicpins yeah, I have been playing on Normal, and it comes down to the last round or two every game.
This method works on the PC version.
Is it just me or is the new die slightly bigger?
@@DeltaDemon1 it is, I think.
love the art style. really want to get my hands on a copy of this for my collection even though ill just use the pc version to actually play it.
@@dandanz7877 you really should, it is so awesome. I hope you can find one! I should do a "how to play" video to show it off some more.
Almost an hour?? Sounds like a Cthulhu Daddy Summoning Ritual… 😉
@@jordannielsen8844 hahaha! My not-so-secret desire! I want that art to become a figure so bad!
Do you have to do this all in one go?
@Bertosgaming1 I believe so, or else it starts over at less money and level every time. I did it all at once, so I didn't experiment with other methods/ways. I got the grind done and never returned. 😅
Hahaha no worries I’m dreading this but gotta be done 🤣 how long did it take you
@@Bertosgaming1 maybe an hour or two? I had an audio book going and zoned out. "The Blade Itself" by Joe Abercrombie if you are curious. 😂
@@Bertosgaming1 Just did it 160 levels in 50 minutes, rank going from 28800 to 101000.
This method works in the ps2 port version on ps4?
@@brunosouza8802 I am not sure, I was playing the "Definitive Edition" PS4 Disc on my PS5. I do not know about the port.
I also forgot Bok-Bur-Na should have been using "Intimidate" himself as he is a Captain.
Love the map with the wall section in the middle. Iconic. I always like the sculpts for Tagawa Archers, Kaemon, and Marrden Hounds. 48:24 - Archer should have rolled for Counterstrike on that whiffed Marrden attack, yeah? I like rando items around the battlefield. How'd you enjoy Furiosa? Great game, Derek.
@jonanjello Yes, he should have rolled. After choosing not to, I realize that any shields is still an excess of zero so a roll should always happen. Furiosa was good! Fury Road is my favorite movie, so more stories in that universe interest me. Its a shame it is considered a flop and we likely will not get more Mad Max (hope I am wrong). You are the first to point out the random things on the table as a feature. I try to change them every video in hopes someone checks them out or asks me.about something they saw and maybe gets a new interest, game, hobby, song, etc.
@@derekvash Derek, the items around the table is a great idea! Please continue to implement this aspect of your battles.
@@jonanjello you got it!
I should have been rolling defense dice for EVERY adjacent attack against the Tagawa Samurai Archers , even the failed ones. This may have changed the outcome, maybe.
Thanks for the video! : ) I wonder if should get the game... I really like the IP Some people don't like the game, but some of them havn't even played it ... Would you recommend it for mainly solo play?
@BPEMETO I am having a blast playing it solo! I have tried with friends but they tend to scoff at the amount of time needed to play. A minimum of 2 hours for sure. As for playing solo, it's great. I can pause when I want and return when ready. I also love the IP, so I might be a little bias when saying that I do recommend it.
@@derekvash Thanks! I think I'll get it. : ) Do you have any idea when they will release the expansions?
@BPEMETO I did the Kickstarter, so I have everything released so far, I am not sure when retail expansions will drop. They are also doing another Gamefound Campaign on September 17th, I believe. They have expansion, all-in, new stuff only, etc.
Awesome unboxing! Its nice to see the paint jobs up close. Its also great to hear your enthusiasm and love of heroscape!
@audiosoul5276 thank you, this got me really anticipating more. Ugh, I am so happy this game is getting new and official stuff!
Great, quick and informative video, Derek
@@jonanjello Thank you
This is how I like being taught a game. You are very meticulous and I appreciate that greatly!
@@normang3444 I am glad I am not the only one who enjoyed this method. I will be doing another video when the second version of the rulebook comes out. Either I will use the new rulebook or use the compiled and organized English version being done on boardgamegeek.
Instead of making the gameplay immersive and entertaining-especially important for solo mode-they position the player as the operator of the game. The player spends 90% of the time calculating, resolving, and laying out numerous components on the table. It seems that the game designers have lost their understanding of what a board game is. And it's not only about the Heroes of Might and Magic BG.
@dimaleoniv7987 I had not thought of it that way. I am enjoying the game quite a bit, more so now that I have learned more. It is a great point, though, that I am managing too many pieces and parts at once. I have now made over 6 of these videos and still make "little mistakes" every video because of something I forgot to manage instead of a continuous flow of the game. I do still like the game and it drives me to play it more, I am going to stick with it, but it does feel I am juggling too much at once sometimes.
What happened to Xenithrax’s base?
@@kimobruns it was slightly warped. It is fixed now, though.
@@derekvash How did you fix it? Hot water? Hair dryer?
@kimobruns Get a pot of water and a container with a flat bottom full of ice and water. Boil water, get some tongs, and hold the base in the boiling water for almost 10 seconds. After the boil, put it IMMEDIATELY into an ice bath. Hold the base flat with some pressure for about 20 seconds.
thx
@@kimobruns you are welcome
Thanks for the breakdown! Enjoy your new sets!
@@ViolentGnome97 you are welcome. I am enjoying them so far!
Nice overview, Derek, You Da MAN!
Thank you, enjoy Heroscape!
Thank you so much for making this video! You earned a new sun for sure my friend :)
@@annieannie4213 you are welcome! I hope it makes playing easier for you.
Hey. When you have 2 heroes at once your units are shared for both heroes?
@@Umpalumpa911 Yes. The Secondary Hero uses your Main Hero's Army.
Do you know if we’re able to get Sergeant Drake Alexander if we ordered through Hasbro the game stores I asked my local game shop in my area. They didn’t think they would be able to sell enough so they said they weren’t gonna be ordering any of the Heroscape so I wasn’t able to get the exclusive miniature do you get it only from local board game stores or is Hasbro going to give the exclusive also?
@magnusstudios147 bad news first, good news is after! As of now, he was a Renegade Pre Order Exclusive. Some stores can order kits that come with him/Shiori, but I am not sure how. Now, the good news- ALL "Gameplay Unique" promos will be purchasable straight from Renegade when their promotional period ends. It is estimated that Shiori and Sgt. Drake Alexander will be available to purchase between December and February, I believe. There are no prices yet. Do NOT panic buy on eBay. If you can not get one now, it will come eventually as a standalone purchase. You are unlikely to miss them if you watch!
That’s a lot of new Heroscape. I never believed I’d see the day. I’m eager to receive my own stuff. Thanks for sharing yours, Derek. Enjoy
@@jonanjello it feels s cool when it arrives! I hope you get it soon.
Thanks for the video, Derek!
@billyrager9261 you are welcome, thanks for checking it out!
Is this works on 1.06 please respond its the hardest trophy
@prrooxy I just got told it worked a week ago, it should still work.
@@derekvash thanks dude it worked
@@prrooxy great!
What a game! it was a joy to watch. I've only just finished the first game, but it seems to me that in the turn you build a magic guild, you can't pay to search the spell stack.
@grzegorzszewczak7089 I think that is true. With the free spells I could have purchased more. I should have, with that Astrologer's Proclaim hitting just right twice in a row, my army was stacked. I should have went all out! Glad you enjoyed the game. More to come!
I always figured Cyberclaw was the design retort to the Grutty Disengage. Thanks for the battle, guys
@@jonanjello you are welcome!
Marrden Hounds can be so brutal. I hadn’t considered Concan with phantom knights. Nice map
@@jonanjello Yeah, they are nasty!
Excellent announcement
@@jonanjello thanks!
Expert spells have school of magic symbols in all 4 corners. When you get to search the artifact deck twice you get two negative morale which you must resolve after searching the deck twice. The second negative morale makes you discard your whole hand. After that lose the second negative morale. Your morale is still negative but only by one. You can only draw back cards to your hand limit at the beginning of your next turn.
You can also use knowledge outside of combat. The section you checked is its expert effect which only makes sense to be used in combat (to increase your spell limit by one). Its basic effect however is also an instant effect you could have used it after casting dimension door. On the other hand because of the 2 negative morales you should not have that knowledge card in your hand anyway, sooo 😅
@csabaidonat awwww, I thought I made no mistakes this time! Haha! Oh, I thought the negative morale only forced a discard at the end of a turn, thanks. Also, thanks for identifying expert spells, I clearly would not have caught that!
@csabaidonat noted for next time for sure. I still had two rounds by the end of this game so I believe even without Dimension Door I still could have made that last battle. I love this game, it has a lot of moving parts and things to remember, but it is worth all of the time playing/learning!
And a couple of combat related observations: 1. Earthquake damages every adjacent units to walls and gates. Including yours! 😅 2. Pack Gold Dargon breath attack has a base 3 attack not 2. Few dragons only have 2. 3. I also keep forgetting AI cards. The best practice that worked for me: when the combat starts I put 1 AI card UNDER every AI enemy unit so when it activates I remember to use the card under it. 4. The carried over damage is always calculated incorrectly. Dont forget when you flip a unit from pack to few, a portion of the carried over damage will be absorbed by the target units few side defense. Example: you attack Pack Zombies (3 HP, 1 def) with 6 att -1. That is 5 damage, 1 absorbed by pack Zombie defense, 4 goes in, 3 is enough to flip the Zombies to few. You still have 1 carried over damage but Few Zombies also have 1 defense so no damage goes in to the few side of the zombies.
@csabaidonat points 3 and 4 make total sense! Thank you. Always glad to have tips like this and helps having more eyes on the game. It stinks that point 1 is also correct 🤣
Thank you man for the glitch I suffered in the warplane and I found it difficult, but when I entered your video, I said for sure it is a lie, I turned on the PlayStation and tried the glitch And I found it really working And I say it again thank you my friend And I raise my hat for you 🫡
@@Conan_IQ98 you are welcome. I am happy to help. Forced grinding really stinks.
Congrats!
@@RogueScaper Thank you!
Very deserved
@@billyrager9261 Thanks, I hope it helps spread Renegade Product awareness around.
I have to say it's great to watch your board games videos, the handheld shots in my opinion make it easier to concentrate on the content as opposed to an overhead view. Cool that I came across your channel, Keep up the good work Derek!
@zekron8450 Thank you. That is why I do the handheld shots for sure. I also am a bit too cheap to get a nice rig. . .🤣 I am glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for taking the time to watch me play.
Will the Bloodstained Hands Trophy Pop as well if you do this method and get to Fire Fighter Level 175 for the Take The Cannoli Trophy? Cause Bloodstained Hands requires you to get The Butcher Ranking for that trophy to pop. And I'm just asking mainly because I don't want get all the way to God Father and potentially miss out on Bloodstained Hands trophy.
@beccawoollett4390 That I cannot answer, I had that trophy before I attempted this.
@derekvash I can confirm that you indeed can get both the Bloodstained Hands and Take The Cannoli Trophy doing this method if you have not yet reached The Butcher Criminal Rating upon getting access to the Vercetti Estate

Do you play chess rules while moving pieces? You take your hand off of the figure that figure has finished its movement? - Adam
@hexhalla That is a rule I have tried to apply to many games I play. "A card laid is a card played." The concept is making and committing to a move, not undoing it when you notice a mistake or better move after the fact you made a choice. We try to apply it to our ganes to challenge our critical thinking and maybe help us to slow down a bit and make better decisions. Mistakes and slip ups happen, so sometimes we are forgiving, but often we play to use it as a tool to better yourself as a player. It is not heavily policed with players who do not wish to have that be their experience.
