Root Strategy Guide | Woodland Alliance | 

I have some more tips: Sympathy tokens placed in clearings with enemy units are worth 1 supporter - that's how much you'll earn if the enemy attempts to destroy them. Sympathy tokens placed in clearings with no enemy units are worth 2 supporter - enemies will trigger outrage twice (once for entering and once for destroying it,) Sympathy tokens placed in clearings with no enemy units and at least one of your warriors are potentially worth more than 2 especially if you can destroy an invading enemy unit. This is because they create Outrage when entering the clearing, you can destroy their unit with Guerrilla tactics, then they have to re-enter the clearing again, generating you more outrage. It is for this reason that you should not create sympathy early game that would cost you more supporters than they would generate you. i.e. don't place your 4th token (2 supporter cost) in a clearing with enemy units as you could lose it and be down one card.

In my group the woodland alliance is often the king maker when there is a group playing. They don't win but they mess up one of the other factions really good.

Last game I was in the Cat/Bird war was in full swing and I was largely ignored until I basically had sympathy in nearly every clearing of the board. I was pulling in so many supporter cards in every round that I won handily as the Maqui destroyed their army attempting an invasion of one of my bases and the Eyrie were locked in perpetual turmoil XD

Great video! This was so well done and explained how to actually use the paction perfectly! Keep it up!

Great strategies in all of these! Thanks! Keep doing strategy videos. These are the best!

Really well done videos!! Love it!!

I really enjoy a channel that focus on the strategy inside the games instead of just reviews and gameplays. Keep up the good work! Are you going to do this for other games? Please do =x

Loving these videos, keep it up!

Nice overview video :) loving the strategy guides - keep it up and keep in touch!

Thanks for the video. It helps me a lot!

great - very insightful

I commented and liked :P. These are great strategies since I’m still learning how to play the game and the woodland alliance.

Thank you!

Loving your strategy guides, would you consider doing a 'how to defeat' series?

Happy to be here

Tip 2 for the win, thanks for that.

멋져요! 정말 찾던 콘텐츠입니다

2:52 well played sir!

Sick quality hombrero

Great video.

Awesomeeee ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent video, thanks! Some find them too similar to play as from game to game, but I'm always down for playing as WA. It's just so much fun to rack up a dozen supporters in-between turns and getting that many points in one turn, and like you said being able to wield your potential explosive power for mind games. Question: where do you/y'all stand on the best number of officers? I usually go with 4 for most of the game and have had success in suddenly adding a couple/few more for one or two burst turns late-game, but I've only played with one group so I have no idea if I'm doing it right

Two new Wise peacefull faction Enter the woodland: the pandarien monks, and the nonviolent apes, who refuse to follow orders!

The animations are really funny.

Very well done, do you have a written summary for all the factions?

Suggestion: Upload walkthrough streams about you beating challenges atm im stuck at the legendary "total domination" challenge where you need to win using dominance with the alliances. that's rough!

Nice guides. We played 2 games with friends and few question we dont know answer: 1. Tile with only symphaty token can be attacked to destroy it? Can symphaty tokens be destroyed? 2. What if 3 there are 2 cats 2 birds + nest on 1 tile and Alliance join with 3 guys. Which one they can fight? If they can choose, and fight cats with roll of 3, the nest will be destroyed as well?

Thanks for the guide! I've got a question, though i'm not sure if i'll recieve an answer to it :D You can't make revolts if you don't have spare bases in your bank, right?

oh my god please i need this

Watched the whole video don't even have the game . About to buy the digital game from steam though , hope it's easy to get through :P

Three questions: 1- What is the maximum number of officers you can have? Three maximum, or more? 'Cause only 3 fit in the space. 2- Damage: can you deal more damage with a dice than the number of warriors you use to attack? Such as: my Alliance attacks with one warrior but I strike a 3 with the best dice roll. Do I deal one damage or three to my opponent? 3- Do you really have to start your first turn with nothing on the map, 3 cards in the supporters and 3 cards in your hand? Thank you very much for the tutorial

Do you return the sympathy token when you construct the base??

hello nice vidéo, what is the music of the intro and during the video? I looked for it on your link in the decription but i didn't find it :)

Should u place sympathy in places you’ll likely get more cards (outrage) or in places you’ll less likely to be attacked?

What is the song which is playing in the background?

If you have revolted three times and put down all three bases, what happens when you revolt again? Do you move a base to the new location?

What is the definition of Sympathetic clearing? Does that mean the clearing with sympathetic token alone is ok? You don’t have to rule that clearing with the most warriors there, right?

Quick question: Playing against my friend who picked Dynasty we quickly realized he could essentially spend all of his cards through a combination of decree and building, and then move through my sympathetic clearings/ remove my sympathy with no consequences. Is this an accurate interpretation of the rules?

One thumb Down by Marquise the Cat

i just had a few questions: 1 - do yo have to pay with a supporter to play the very first sympathy token on turn one? 2 - I had a really nutty sequence in a game where I had 4 officers and 6 warriors out, i simply moved to unsympathetic clearings, and organized 3 times and gained like 6 points to win. Is that legal to do? still followed the only one symp token per clearing rule and took those officer actions. I was just surprised to get so many points. guess that was my reward for the late game set up?

Your WA pieces look slightly differently shaped than mine-what printing run was it?

What's the name of the song! It slaps sooo hard! 🙆🏽‍♂

Trinston was here ..

I'm new to root.. at 5:03 you move a WA warrior into a clearing with 2 ED warriors.. to move you have to rule the clearing your at and moving too.. so that move isn't correct? Thanks for the root content ... Please don't take this as criticism.. it's meant to be a question.

Do you Think that a nonviolent movement faction could be in root? And if so, wich species would they be!

Second

Or even better, tortoises! Nonviolent tortoises, who refuse to do anything, and encourage others to do the same via striking and not following orders!

So what you are telling me is the game is all about checks and balances

>Green peoples oppressed by orange overlords So playing the alliance is the ira?

> 3:16 [...] Fascist felines I appreciate an awesome alliteration as much as the next guy, but... seriously, the cats represent the fascists? The Eyrie: - Has a bird of prey as its coat of arms - They're a dynasty, meaning their rule is heavily focused on heredity - Unlike the diverse Woodland Alliance, the bird faction is a biological monoculture-think "racial purity" - They have a very expansionist foreign policy-Americans might call it hawkish - Once orders have been decreed they _will_ be followed-"befehl ist befehl" Clearly the birds are the fascists here. When looking at the cats, I'm thinking they have a board presence everywhere and they focus on industry and commerce. In my mind that pattern-matches onto the British Empire.

6 min of awfull and repetitive music is too much for me.
