Oh yeah - I'll be backing this!! Planned to as soon as I saw the cover art... Mr. Phillips - if you announced you were designing 'Whack A Worm With A Wet Noodle' I would back it at this point... :) You (and Mr. Macdonald) are design geniuses (no - I don't think that's too strong)!! And Mr. Dimitrievski's artwork is becoming iconic - instantly recognizable!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Looks like another sure winner!! I'll anxiously wait for the Kickstarter and impatiently bide my time enjoying Paladins and Architects and Raiders... :)

I purchased and played Architects several times and love that game, the art, the theme, the play. I've played it from 3 to 5p and I am waiting for my copy of Artisans to arrive and may play it at 6. I have ordered Viscounts without knowing much about it and now I am very excited to see it. You have so many novel mechanics and ideas in these games. Looking forward to it.

Hi Shem! At 13:40 you pay gold and ink to perform the “construct buildings” action Shouldn’t you use only Stones for this? I’ve checked the rulebook, it seems that the AI, just like humans, must spend resources only of the related type...right? Thanks!

Hey Shem, first of a you're easily one of my favorite designers, your games are awesome. But second, is there any influence on this of Mutants: the Card Game? The three played cards that once is cycled each turn and have play / drop off actions reminds me a lot of that.

If you are here to know how the designer beats the AI, that doesn't happen. Count when he stops is really in favour of the AI. I was really looking forward to know how the designers beat it. My closest is 16 points behind the AI so I'm looking for ways to play better. One thing I picked up is loading up on resources (I was doing that) but he seems to use them all up in one shot (like in the castle). Still can't believe that after 40 min the AI only built one workshop! Mine always ends up building all by ends game but 2. Even the non-builder focused games. lol I'll try the co-op tomesaga video next :)

@garphillgames4 жыл бұрын
Obviously we use a large number of playtesters. Paladins’ weight comes from its need to plan 4-5 turns in advance. Viscounts has a larger decision space each turn, but you’re really only planning 2-3 turns ahead. So it really depends on the player. Would be hard to judge from only watching this video.

Lighter than Architects? You obviously didn’t watch the vid or haven’t been playing Architects correctly.
