    Just bought "new story" after having/playing the old one for years. Now I want a refresher and to find out what's new. Did the tutorial and am now watching your video. Still an excellent resource after 3 years! Once I'm done with this, I'm going to try my first game of "new story" online, and then hopefully eventually move it to the table. Thanks so much!

    I've had this app game for a while, and could win it, but there were a lot of concepts I didn't understand that are now much clearer to me. You sure helped to cut down on the frustrations of never having played the board game, so thank you very much!

    Great video! I have watched other people play the digital app, and you have done the best explanation of what the computer is doing regarding production, etc. You also explained the blue and yellow tracks and happy faces very clearly. Regarding the contest, I think there were 2 cards that gave you the same score compared to your opponents. Not the largest score, but the largest score difference is how I read the contest question.

You said when bidding that if you bid 3 on that particular occasion, it would jump from 2 to 7. I don't get it. Why? And why is 3 a silly bid as a result? Everything else I am down with.

    Thank you so much for your videos explaining this board game! I played it for the first time today, and although it took us two hours and we didn't even finish Age 1, we had a blast. If it weren't for your videos, we would be playing until tomorrow morning!

      2 hours and not even finishing Age 1? That is absolutely normal for your first game. There is a lot going on.

      @@GamingRulesVideos Dont mean to be a jerk, but it is tough to find a good teaching tool for the app. Reading the rules is long and your would need to translate them to the app format. The app's tutorial tries too hard to be funny and becomes incredibly long as well. A 15min how to play seems to be needed here.

    @karenlp5867 2 года назад

    Thanks for this. I have recently downloaded the game and I found the tutorial was fantastic to a point. But I got to the stage where my opponent declared war and I was left to figure out how to increase my strength enough to win on my own. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t find a way to do it. I think the tutorial was about to finish anyway, so I don’t think I missed anything by not being able to carry on. I can tell that it will take a great deal of practice to really get the hang of this game.

      Grab the cavalry card for 3, then play your card that adds two science, then build the cavalry. Then with your 3 military actions, build 2 cavalry and play your tactics.

    Sorry if you said this and I missed it, but is this the digital implementation on Steam or iOS/Android? Do you know if there’s a difference? I’ve been thinking about picking up the iOS version but was worried it would be too complex for me. Hoping your video can help me decide whether it’s for me or not. Thanks!

    Really enjoyed your Through the Ages video. Played a game on the app with a much better understanding of what I was doing although, ultimately I still came 3rd 202, 173, 139. Can you tell me what the 2 numbers mean on strength when one is above another

    • @GamingRulesVideos
      @GamingRulesVideos  4 года назад +1

      The number in the shield is your total military strength. The number above it (if any) is in a boat image. That is the number of bonus colonization points you get when bidding from a colony. Techs like Cartography have this.
