Mage Knight: Volkare's Return Solo Playthrough Part 4 

Watching these videos of your mage Knight play through makes me want to bust out my own game and play, that's a true sign of a great content creator and an enticing board gamer thanks again

Really liked the game and your commentary. Thanks for posting!

Great playthrough of one of my top games. Think you have the best one going here next to Ricky! I love all the options the game offers. You've taken such a different path from what I would have done, and I love seeing it working out so well. One quick note and not necessarily a rules correction. I saw you did this after day 2 also, but you are not required to move a banner to your discard pile at the end of a round. It may stay with that unit until the unit is disbanded. Of course what you did is also completely correct and is a strategic decision. Keep up the great work!

Looking forward to the finale. Set right aboot him Colin!

The golem did its job. Take the fight to him. You've got a pile of crystals to spend.

I would attack Volkare if I were you. Assuming you have enough mana/crystal to power up anything you want, you can generate 19 ranged/siege (the catapults and sorcerers, expose, swiftness, fire bolt, and the +3 from Will focus) to take out 2 (or maybe 3) of the nastiest enemies. You can then block 1-2 of the survivors with fire wall and determination, and use the banner of fear on a third. That leaves you with the fire wall attack, a Rage and the Altem Mages coldfire attack (boosted to 9 hopefully) to take out most of the blocked enemies. Not knowing what Volkare's got, I'd expect he'll survive the attack with 1-2 units remaining.

Woohoo! Can't wait for next episode!!

I would attack. If you end up not winning you can retreat to the city and finish off whatever remains when he attacks you. If you wait for his attack, if you don't survive he takes the city. Surprisingly safest move is attack him.

You did right to get the green mana from motivation. It's in the faq for solo play.

I didn't catch this in the other parts, but the indecisive units must be marked with a _basic_ mana color, so gold and black shouldn't be legal. The black token marking the indecisive mobs should probably be changed to red, green, blue, or white.

I think you added 2 tokens as crystals when you used your 2 skills during your last turn in the night

Question to 3:25 You place a core tile, but the regular rules say, if your tile deck is empty and you need more, use landscape tiles first

Noooo no till next episode that cliffhanger heheheh knowing ur play style taking always a risk u'll definitely jump straight to battle hehehe

I think you missed adding one fame, with the two from the dragon that’s three. You only move two on the track. Could you spread the cards so we can read the text on the cards?

I thought negative rep subtracted from influence but it didn't seem like you were doing that

Can’t wait to see his butt kicked , that Volkare!!!!

I say just turtle up and wait. Just discard Stamina at the end of turn

Can you recruit sorcerers in a city?

I think you needed to have 11 cards in your starting hand, 6 to start, +3 for each keep you got and +2 for the city. not 9
