Excellent video. Camera was ideal when you were introducing the component, clear view, Friendly presentation, calm voice very useful when teaching any session, well done Sir. hope to see more of your tutorial. Cheers
Glad to see a play through of this and Gaia Project! The symbol and the shape of the icon on City States does in fact correspond to the one on the map space, so each space has a specific City State that should be placed there, presumably for balance reasons. See page 4 item 4. Populate Map for details.
One thing I've noticed thus far that he's gotten wrong is that it does matter what city-state goes on that hex. The Shield is on a black diamond background for the city-state of Kabul and a black round background for Carthage.
When a barbarian moves onto a Capital City the city is not removed. Instead, the player must discard two trade tokens (or one if they have one, otherwise zero if they have none).
Great video. Most in depth explanation of the battles I've seen so far. I just finished my first game to try and learn it and was confused about what happens when 1 player takes another player's city. I was thinking maybe all the adjacent control tokens are captured as well, but it seems like they stay until they are directly attacked. It makes sense to me since the control tokens also are an abstraction for the military forces.
I like how you forgot to tell us the most important information (which is how to win the game) and you only mentioned it like in the end 1:00:54. Bro this should have been the 1st thing you should have said! I hate when people start explaining a game without giving this information right away. When explaining how a game works - first you explain the winning conditions and when that's established then you explain the game itself - so that the listener can follow you through, and not be like "yeah I can do this and this and that but ... why?" Cool video tho! I subbed :)
23:07 for rules
Thank you! We were having a hard time understanding the rules
WOW that was a marathon! thank you for the explanation, quite clear and well done!

Very good review mate
