These guys still confuse the hell out of me although your video has really helped. I think i just need to experiment with them so i can internalize the rules. Man i wish i knew more people who were into this game!

@mgloucao 4 года назад

Great video! Love root.

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

Thank you! It's such a cool game that I almost never get to the table..... So this was my time to spend a few hours (months?) with it.

@Botanica_Gaming 4 года назад

Never get to the table? That's too bad! I recommend sItting at a cafe with a sign, "looking for Root gaming group." Your guides are very instructive and helpful.

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

Thank you! And I love that idea 😂 maybe I could stand on the corner and hold a sign! Hahah

@miladsharifnezhad578 4 года назад

That was a wonderful video tutorial for this faction. I have a question if other player use of my mercenaries service its mean he can use of my warriors against me and he can battle with me? and if I have a trading post in the battle clearing he can remove it and I am defendless, that is correct?

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

If I understand the question correctly, the other player CANNOT use the mercenaries to fight you. Only fight other players. (I got that from page 11, 11.2.7.III)

@stalydan 4 года назад

Thanks very much for this! I'll be playing them tomorrow and I was worried how different they might be from the others.

Im gonna say yes

@Drewsel 3 года назад

Technically the Vagabond is able to purchase the Riverfolk's services by exhausting his items, and the Otters put their own warriors into the payments slot. I'm pretty sure, anyways.

@Deranth 3 года назад

This is true. But the Vagabond cannot buy mercenary service from the Riverfolk, they can only buy hand cards and riverboats.

@Drewsel 3 года назад

@@Deranth yeah, i suppose i could have mentioned that lol

@allteraintrain 3 года назад

@@Deranth why is that?

@juzkrej 2 года назад

Exhaust his items to purchase service, so does this mean no warriors goes into the payments box for riverfolk company since vagabond has no warriors to begin with?

@kadaifmeister 3 года назад

how can you trade with the riverfolk if you're a vagabond? you obliosly can't pay them with warriors....

@GiraffeVortex 3 года назад

Pay with items of the vagabond, probably

@TomTeachesGames 3 года назад

Thanks for helping out here!

@sonicking91784 2 года назад

To clarify you exhaust items, you don't give the items. Then the Riverfolk player puts their own warrior tokens into the payments box.

Great video but i have a question, is there anything i can do with the commitment units? i am new to the game

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

Hey, I'm so sorry for the delay.... let me see how I can help.... (It's been a long time since I made this video, and there are so many factions, it's hard to keep them straight). If I remember correctly, commitments are essentially your action points. You use your committed funds during the daylight phase to do things like Move, Battle, Craft, Draw, Recruit, etc.

@alnorflorist5306 4 года назад

Thank you so much this helped me out alot!

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

You bet!

@monstiii749 4 года назад

At 4:19 I have a question about the vagabond. The forest next to the clearing where the beaver sits. Is this forest divided by the river for the vagabond? Or if he retreats into the forest, can he then move into each of the adjacent clearings? In short, can he move into all four clearings when he comes out of the forest, or just two, because the forest is separated by the river.

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

Oh crap.... okay, do NOT quote me on this. This is purely off the top of my head because I don’t have a chance to look it up right now..... I feel like I remember that the river is NOT one of the dividing lines.... I know the rulebook is pretty clear about this. But I cannot remember which way it said....

@HalloikbenJim 4 года назад

@@TomTeachesGames There are are little bridges and branches that join both sides of the forest where the river splits it.

@MikeLightning 2 года назад

law of root 2.3 Rivers Many clearings are linked by rivers, which act as paths for only the Riverfolk Company. Rivers do not divide clearings or forests. 1 year late but maybe it helps the next person wondering.

@jedigreg4636 4 года назад

When you lose a trading post - you lose it to the box. But the funds that are in the fund box it says "remove" - so does that mean remove from game or return to their owner?

@TomTeachesGames 4 года назад

I think those are returned to their owners...... not removed permanently. Just the trading post is removed permanently..... I think....

@derickV21 Год назад

You are correct! Only the trading post is removed permanently, the warriors are returned to their owners

@drorios8864 3 года назад

So this faction is basically useless on any other board but this one with the river?

@sonicking91784 2 года назад

All boards have a river as far as I know. The river is just different. I know that fall, winter, and mountain have rivers, the lake board might use the lake instead? I don't own the physical board game, but I play digital.

@MichaelQ1492 3 года назад

That's a solid video! Though...I wish you explained a bit with how the payments work with the vagabond since they don't have warrior to spend.

@sonicking91784 2 года назад

The Vagabond exhausts items as payments, and The Riverfolk Company puts their own warrior tokens in the payment box.

@Hardcorestilllives 3 года назад

why should i craft for warriors? if the payment box is empty i get two for free or?

@leebard9335 3 года назад

Warriors on the board are not warriors. You recruit warriors to move into places you expect battles to takes place so you can sell mercenaries to anyone who wants an advantage in a fight. If a player buys the 'Mercenaries' service during their Birdsong phase they use your pieces as if they were theirs except they can't move them or attack your pieces.

@drorios8864 3 года назад

@@leebard9335 what happens to your mercenaries if they are destroyed?

@jaydeestrong 3 года назад

@@drorios8864 same as other factions, you place it near you as extra/unused warriors that you might need later.

@maaaaa51 3 года назад

any committed pieces are basically gone forever?

@TomTeachesGames 3 года назад

Oh dang.... it's been so dang long since I've played this game.... or this faction.... but my memory says that during the Bird Song phase ALL warriors in those boxes (oh man, it's been so long) move to the "Funds" box. So, those that were in the "committed" box are moved up....? does that sound right?

@sonicking91784 2 года назад

This is correct. Committed funds go back into funds on your next turn.
