Slight error with your example around 13:00. You showed the tiebreaker from the position the Archer had moved to. Monsters will select all of their targets from their initial position, not from their destination. The end result in this example was the same, but there are definitely cases where it matters (as I'm sure you'll bring up when covering the AI Quiz). Other than that, really great presentation!

Great video, very well explained. I really enjoyed it. I have one question: in your video at 13:56: if the bandit archer has move 2 instead of move 1, is he going to move two hex away ↗ ↗ to still get the brute has the focus, avoid the disavantage and use his target 2 attack?

@LambosNerdery

4 жыл бұрын

Exactly. First priority is lose disadvantage on the primary target, second priority is maximize the attack, so with movement two the Bandit Archer would move two spaces to be able to lose disadvantage and still hit two targets like you say.

Obviously I agree with the sentiment of how 3D terrain and minis really add to the immersive experience of playing the game, and I get quite a bit of enjoyment out of creating and building the levels, as well as finding the right miniatures to represent the monster standees. For miniatures, I have a few videos that cover where I get my miniatures from, so I suggest checking out that series here (with more to come when I finally finish finding replacement miniatures for every GH monster): kzread.info/head/PLryCVQ4gJgx_2LIVgdxQP8fDM9bo5hajH For tiles and props, those come from a variety of sources, all depending on which level build you are referring to. The simple answer is a mixture of Hirst Arts 3D terrain casts from my early terrain builds, and 3D printed items from my own 3D printers for more recent terrain builds. For specific terrain or scenic pieces, I usually have provided links or explanations for everything I use to build my scenarios (miniatures and terrain) in the descriptions of my 3D terrain board videos, which you can view here: kzread.info/head/PLryCVQ4gJgx8JOVNedf5UTuLTzp0doXE_ If you have any other more specific questions, feel free to ask and I'd be happy to help out where I can.

@@LambosNerdery You are insane sir, in the right way.

18:30 Is there any rule that would have the monster blocking the path of the bandit move out of the way, if say that monster had a range 4 and could attack its focus staying there?

@LambosNerdery

2 жыл бұрын

Monsters in Gloomhaven are lazy by default, they only move just as far as they need (or not move at all) to attack a single target. The only way the blocking monster would move was if its range was reduced, it was forced to move by an ability (such as by the Mindthief), or it was pushed/pulled by something. Basically, if it can attack an enemy at its current position, it will not voluntarily move, even if that means other monsters get the shaft because of its own laziness.

Love those miniatures. Did you make the monster ones yourself? Either way, I'm super jealous. 😁 Edit: Nvm my question. I found your answer in another comment bellow.

At 13:00 isn’t the scoundrel physically closer for 2nd tiebreaker? Like, if I took a ruler from edge of each of their hexes it would be closer so shouldn’t that be the tiebreaker #2 or have I misunderstood something on physical proximity?

@LambosNerdery

4 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been quite busy with work for the past few weeks. Proximity is in reference to the number of hex spaces away an enemy is. The physical distance measurement isn't used, it's simply counting the spaces to the enemy model by the shortest means possible. In the scenario at 13:00, both models are three spaces away, causing a tie.

Thanks for this video! In the situation where a monster steps into a trap, will a monster also do so if the trap would kill him? Does the monster knows how much damage a trap is?

@LambosNerdery

3 жыл бұрын

If a monster is forced to step on a trap, it will in fact do so, even if that movement would kill it. Apparently monsters are more determined to attack their focused enemy than they are to learn basic math and hit point values.

if you can move an enemy closer by choosing 1 of several different hexes, do you get to choose which way it goes? i'm in jaws of the lion level 10, and the traps 'move 1 hex towards the nearest player' at the end of the round. if i can move a trap either into an empty space, or a space occupied by an enemy, and still get closer to the player, can i choose the monster and have it blow up in their face instead of mine? thank you!

Curious ...I bought the digital version of Gloomhaven, and its still in beta but the game is a lot of fun so far..i was wondering how close is the board game is to the digital version being sense iv never played the board game...just wondering if any one knows or could elaborate more ?

@LambosNerdery

My understanding is the digital version uses the exact same rules and mechanics as the board game, but in unique scenarios to this point. The creators stated they intend on releasing the board game scenarios in the future, but that hasn't happened yet.

Have you ran into how monsters consuming/creating elements are used? I’ve searched forum after forum on google and am stuck in my scenario, only on #4 but I’m just stumped as I cannot find anything going into detail on this in the rule book or online

@HeezyfoCheesy

4 жыл бұрын

For example. Scenario 4. Wind demon pulls shield 1, move -1, atk-1, then can consume (any):(create) air.. I understand this element is created for all other wind demons this round but how do you think this plays out? If their only card this round is them creating it, then it goes away at end of round, they have nothing on their card allowing them to use air buff any other attack they’re making.. I’m just wondering what exactly the point of that being on the card is doing for them. Thanks in advance if you’re able to get back on this!

@LambosNerdery

4 жыл бұрын

​@@HeezyfoCheesy, you're right in stating the Wind Demons can't take advantage of the wind they created in that same round, but that holds true for every figure on the board. "It is not possible to create an element and consume it on the same turn" (p. 24). When an ability creates an element, "this is represented by moving the corresponding element’s token to the “Strong” column of the elemental infusion table at the end of the turn in which the ability was used" (p. 23). So the element is created after all actions and movement are completed by the creating figure, which means it can never take advantage of an element created by itself. "At the end of every round, however, all elemental infusions will wane, moving one step to the left in the table, from “Strong” to “Waning” or from “Waning” to “Inert”" (p. 24). Elements can be consumed from either the "Strong" or "Waning" columns, so a monster or character can take advantage of an element they created only by using it in the following round when it is in the "Waning" column, provided it is still there. So, in response to your question, the air created by the Wind Demons doesn't help them in the round they create it. But, if in the next round their card has an ability that consumes air and that air is still in the "Waning" column, they would be able to consume it there and take advantage of the added effect.

@LambosNerdery

4 жыл бұрын

Monsters don't need line of sight to focus an enemy, just an unobstructed path to a hex where they could eventually conduct an attack. If a monster is revealed somewhere on the map, and a path exists to an enemy model, they will move along that path using the least amount of movement hexes to eventually reach their focus. I don't know how the monsters sense their enemies across a dungeon, but in my party's case, I suppose they can hear all the looted coins in the Scoundrel's pockets that he prevents the rest of the party from getting to first.

I put the stats that were relevant in the corner, and I hadn't given the living bones Target 2 at that section of the video yet, or addressed multiple targets, so the operating assumption is Target 1 for instructional purposes until specified otherwise.

@@chumplor You're absolutely correct that a real Living Bones would usually have a multiple target attack, so for those that know their monster stats, I apologize for the confusion. I was simply trying to set a basic foundation and then build upon it, and was not particular about what monster I had out there, he was just there to represent a monster. If it helps, I forgot to mention in that example that the Living Bones ability card I drew for that round must have been "Target one enemy with all attacks."

Will a monster with ranged multi target attack ever move into a position to maximize attack on all targets, if that location gives it disadvantage? e.g. If Archer had Target 3 and the Tinkerer was one space further away (right and down from space at kzread.info/dash/bejne/aY5qwZeBhaeYn7g.html), would the archer move next to the Brute to target all three players at disadvantage?
