Played this one today. hero's won on turn one conan can get to toth amon and kill him on first  activation. 

Scenario lasted 5 mins, seems a bit broken or have I missed something. 

 

I replied elsewhere, but how did you get to Thoth Amon in 1 activation?

It seems that would be difficult. It would cost 8 movements just to get to Thoth’s space. Conan has 2 free movements and up to 4 more. He can’t get there in 1 activation unless Shevatas and Hadrathus kill all the minions that are in the way, Conan can then make it but he’ll be down to 5 gems at the most. Is this how your team played?

Well I ended up getting the MB:P base game figures so don't need to worry about proxying any more. I had a list of proxies at one stage, I'll see if I can find it, but I probably deleted it.

Edit: sorry, I no longer have it, but all the figures came from the Conan game. It should be noted that I have a King's Pledge and the 3 expansions.

As one of the testers of this campaign I can attest to its quality, but also its difficulty. This campaign shows that Matt's solo rules are not juts a simplified version of the Conan Adventure mode but can be used to create an immersive and complicated story. I highly recommend this but do be aware that I also recommend you be experienced at playing the standard Conan game.

One thing, I am surprised at the freebie offering for those that back within the 7 days of the Kickstarter campaign. 3 Flying Apes! Can't imaging needing that many Flying Apes if I pledge for the Legacy Box😁 Actually make that 4 when I include the Corinthia Expansion😯

Forums here seem pretty dead, but it looks like this isn’t the campaign for us to obtain the few missing items... unless they also plan on offering those particular items in the pledge manager.

That's the impression I have been getting, however the minis will be included in the faction boxes, just won't include cards or tiles for the Adventure mode. We haven't seen the content of the Legacy box as yet so I am hoping they may be included in that, but not holding my breath.

1) He does not have any spells for this scenario

2) Correct

3) The first example. That number is the actor's free movement. Then each gem spent is 1 additional movement,

4) Yes, but all free movement will be lost for the remainder of the turn after the action.

5) No. The number in the Flame symbol on their tile is the cost to revive a dead model and deploy it in a reinforcement zone. Reinforcement costs have nothing to do with the overlord gems.

To clarify point 4) a hero can do an action first and then use their free movement, but cannot interrupt with an action. For example Conan cannot move 1 space for free, then stop, kill an enemy and continue with the remaining free movement. The second movement will cost a gem. 

An interesting scenario and great use of some unusual special rules. I seem to recall something similar to this elsewhere. Is this a modification of a standard adventure mode scenario?

I will try and do some playtesting but I have been having trouble getting to my gaming table recently. Life, wife and summer have all been tugging me in other directions.

I also wish to point out this site put together by another fan. It does a good job of putting everything in one place.

This is brilliant. Hopefully Monolith provides some support.

I am not particularly interested in the versus mode but am interested in these as they contain miniatures I missed out in in the original campaign. I refer to the guest box figures. I know that there will be an Adventure mode box containing all the newly minted miniatures, but I don’t think it will include the Valeria and Belit figures from the guest artist boxes. Big decision on whether to pay $49 for 2 minis, mind you there going for $100plus on eBay, etc.

I was looking online so wasn't aware of the Book of Set issue. Now I know😁

They are the 3 flame tokens shown in the map.

I must admit I didn’t realise that a PDF version could be ordered. I must have missed that. I was hoping for compendium II.

@Footballzs

Sorry, man!

 

Apology accepted.

Wow, well done. My only quibble I have to spend more money, 'cause...well you know...I really need to have the correct figures!

Can you give specifics about a single scenario? Your request is very broad and hard to say without details. The best would be to pick a recent scenario you played, then walk through a specific fight for a round or two. Thus if it's either strategy (the scenario), or something in the immediate tactics of the fight folks can help better.  Our group has gotten quite good and I'm having problems as OL keeping up with them. Last two games have come down to a single die throw in the last round.

Paradoxically, other posts state it’s almost impossible for the OL to win. Personally I think it’s a combination of tactics and rule misunderstandings. I agree more detail on how the scenario is being played will give us an opportunity to say where you could improve.

There are a couple of sites in Australia that have them, postage may be a killer though.

Thank you! I'm reading the description and it says that the size is 15*8*4cm. So this is the size of the toy, or the package it came in? 

I purchased it a while ago but I only bought it because it was the equivalent size to the Dragon. I can’t recall the actual measurements but I do recall they were the same.

Are you sure? Because there is only a French flag - and not the Union Jack as shown for Compendium T3!

Yes. The compendiums were put together by the French community and compendium II was finished some time ago. It’s the translation that is taking time. Compendium III consists of scenarios for Mythic Battles not Conan, so it appears that one has been translated already.

I could be mistaken but it would appear that compendiums I, II (in French only?) and III are available for pre-order here: https://www.philibertnet.com/en/10148-monolith

The French version of compendium II has been available for a while now. It’s the English version which is still to come.

I received an email from Monolith. This is what they said: 'If you are talking about the scenario "The Remedy", that's in fact a mistake from us. The khitan guard should be red.' This fixes the problem.

Thanks for letting us know, but for future reference, things like this should be placed as a topic in the section on official scenarios, not as a map related topic.

I purchased this through eBay. It’s the same size as the Dragon. And it’s legs/feet occupy the same space (give or take a millimetre or two).

The recently released, fan-made, mini-campaign ‘Whispers from Stygia’ is a great example of how to properly write detailed scenario descriptions that address and explain the inevitable questions that can arise during a game. Kudos to the whole team that wrote it, including (I believe), @Ken @drmauric  @Neil Amswych@Footballzs @Primeval@Matt John S... 

Hopefully any new expansions, or even a 1.5 version of the game rules, will include a more concerted effort to answer possible core game/scenario questions within the rules and descriptions. I absolutely love this game, but I’m tired of having to consult BGG every time we play it....

You are giving me way more credit than is deserved. I playtested and provided feedback. The other 5 did all the work. For those that haven’t had a look, then I recommend you do so here.

Would be nice if Monolith printed this up and added it to all backers of the next Kickstarter campaign. Even if they added a couple of Dollars/Euros/Pounds to cover costs it would still be worth it.
