Nova Aetas Renaissance Campaign Playthough Mission 0.0 

Really great playthrough. I enjoy your enthusiasm. A few issues: Attack the Heroes isn't really a true mission goal, but I think you were getting that as you played. True mission goals have to have a threat number next to them. 1:01 - Each act of healing actually increases your threat by 1 (it's not one per health gained, just once per healing act). So the priest would have increases his threat a couple of times. 1:05:45 - Your instinct was correct but you changed your mind. The right most enemy would have gone after the priest because the priest had higher threat than the Squire, was within the control range and he could still make an attack. The south enemy would have attacked the Squire because he could move and make an attack against the priest. 1:09:38 - Crits are effects, just like her Lethal. So you use the dice only to determine which effects trigger. The lethal doesn't allow the crit to trigger. 1:12:05 - Around this point, you started treating 5+ as successes on attacks. You need 6+ to harm those enemies.

Really great play through as always mate 😊

This looks very very interesting, love how they integrated exploration between the skirmishes. Something most crawlers are lacking. It also looks incredibly beautiful. So tempting to jump into this one...

Holy moly thanks for the rescue! I’m getting worse and worse as I get closer to 60 in reading the rules’ ur da best!❤

Been wiating for this! Epic start to this crazy world. Ive been excited too see you play this since i opened my box and realised i wont be playing for a while while i slowly paint it all first. Great video as always sir

Great job Bairnt. I just received it yesterday. Can't wait ... It's probably going to happen during the holidays.

Looks interesting, I did order a copy after your unboxing video.

Great timing - i just started this and played this scenario this afternoon. Really helps to see someone else go through the rules. I have a couple comments in addition to what others noted already: * The way i read Lethal is that it does 1 extra damage - regardless of how many moons rolled. It works different than Rebecca's Arcane Arrow. * Threat is increased when a hero does a healing (removes a damage token). So Vincenzo should have been increasing his threat when healing Valerio. * Enemy AI - I played it that Attack the Hero's path should be followed since that is the mission goal. In this case, they would attack the highest threat in their control area. - so in your play, they would have gone for Vincenzo near the end. However, i agree that it is confusing and your approach (following Mission Goal path) may be correct. Great job! Hopefully you can get some loot next mission.

Only one token for each status effect can be placed on an enemy, and for a hero only one status effect can be placed on their character sheet at a time...but sometimes you can place a status effect on an item which doesn't count against the limit on the hero character sheet.

Another awesome video. Thanks you so much for covering the game. I was listening while painting my stradiots. Ive seen this chapter covered by 3 youtubers before and your version was the most entertaining and easiest to follow. Great job. Few things. Had you yaken the window you could have sneaked out and attempt escaping or even send sophia to the roof for snipping purpose. All crits count. Even if it is the killing blow. It also makes sense thematically if you see an enemy that kills your comrade with a gruesome blow, your mind would automatically put that guy as dangerous. So it makes sense that a crit is counted and adds to the perillium. I dont think you can get twice the same status in the same round and therefore they shouldn't be cumulative, but ill double check the rules tomorrow. Honestly i hope you continue the great work. Amazing game so far.

Still waiting for the German language edition of this one, so great you are covering it in details saves me a lot of time learning the game 😁👍

Greath greath video!! I like your videos because you focus the camera on the tiles and on the dice rolling. and not just a camera with a long viewe of entire table. In this case the result with 3d buildings and tree are superb!! Compliments also because play four heroes on this game isn't so simple. The game is not too complicate but there the risk to miss something. If i may i correct some errors you make. On hero card you can have only one status token, so for example Vincenzo cannot have two bless token and Valerio cannot have two bleed token. There some exeption to this rule. Some equipements can carry on more status token (the shard of Rebecca for example) but this is specified directly on the card. On 1:05:25 the target must to be Rebecca because his perilium was the higher value. One time the rarget are chosen the enemy try to attack that target also if they don't have enought action point. Look on the main manual IA chapter. There is a good example with Vincenzo-Sofia target. On Field boock the flow chart of IA is littel bit wrong. (LMS guys say some FAQ will correct that) The enemy change target only if the target cannot be reached due the path is obstructed... Anyway greath video!!

I would love to see an extensive playthrough of the first campaign

I hope they do a second print run on crowdfunding, I will definitely hop on it. Hopefully they get any errors fixed also. Minis look great and thanks for the playthrough.

AWESOME. You're the best. Oh wait, I told Colin he was the best. You both are! I have this, but haven't opened it yet. Just finished Kinfire Chronicles and playing Earthborne Rangers. This one is next. Yes, this game challenges my pronouncing too. What language does this game use?

Fun video! Wondering how characters evolve over the course of a campaign though. Most of Rebecca's turns were move and cast spell, Sofia used throwing knives, Valerio swords, etc. I know thats their weapon but it's still just one attack/action. Do characters get better/more choices for skills as the game goes on, or do they mostly keep spamming 1 skill? Trying to not watch too many gameplay videos to avoid spoiling the game

Amazing Video thanks! I think there are some small inaccuracies in the management of enemy AI at 28:00 . That of this mission is a particular example because the Mission Goal of the enemies is the same as in the case where there is no Mission Goal (attack the Heroes) And this can cause confusion

I’m going to try out the demo mission this weekend. Haven’t opened the box yet. Waiting on the dragon, mandelorian and miniatour boxes still.

Was thinking how much I like the resolution of the AI enemy turn by rolling defence die, while watching Doug Mystic Eye's playthrough. Just watching now, the arquebusier just hit Sophie. The problem not having a "to hit roll" and having to defend with a 7+ seems like it's hard for the arquebusiers to miss, when the weapons (afaik) weren't that reliable. Anyway, having got that off my chest like a curmudgeonly old grognard, I'll shut up, kick back and enjoy the fun! lol

I've been waiting 3 years for this damn game. It looks perfect. When you paint do you use a white base or black. Or none?

I am really tempted to get it but currently I have way too many board games that I wait to arrive.

Don't understand the Loot at the end of the mission. Doesn't make any sense, can't think of any game that will make you do that. How dare they take it away! We all know that the whole point of a game is the loot! lol Great stuff thanks Bairnt. Looking forward to the next episode!

This video is super Helpful, are you planning to continue recording the rest of the missions? Keep up the good work

Looks awesome. I want it. But it's so expensive 😢

Thanks for the play-through. It’s really hard to assess whether to invest in this game relative to all of the other campaign games out there. Can you please give some relative comparison analysis to the other leaders on this genre?

Hello! A bit late to the party… I had other games to play! 🙄🤣 I was wondering if the graphic on the tile (1B) represent obstacles. The way I placed mine, the 1B was at the bottom right and so there seemed to be some old building foundations blocking my view… Was I correct?

Got my Core Box today! (Still waiting for the expansions that should be in transit). It looks like there is room in the storage trays to hold sleeved cards? Did you sleeve yours, and if so did they indeed fit? Mainly looking at all the mini cards, not the character or missions cards.

Hey! Quick question, how does this game compare to Assassins Creed? Room for both or one or the other?

Hey bud, I think you have 3 issues with your video. First off, well... your thumbnail says 'Campign' instead of Campaign. Secondly, your video title says: Campaign Playthouygh; not Campaign Playthrough. And the timestamp in the description for the Campaign Setup and Story, doesn't work because it says: 14.45 not 14:45. I hope this message finds you well and you fix these issues. Best regards, Kambalawalala Jr the III.

Woooo mispronounciations incomingggg!!! Edit: aaaand it hits at aetas

this game looks awesome
