@TheSoSBunker@Marky_X_ thank you for this extra info. the 3rd edition was really hard, and your buddy is right! you had to feed them to the coming wave one by one to last until the end and slow the horde down. so your strategy would be about how to strategically lose them, not how to save them
@Marky_X_@TheSoSBunker fantastic. to be honest, in the 3rd edition, combat was decided by free ammo + pure luck(dealing damage, character trait activation) , but the chart made it fun.
please keep use updated. im thrilled to see the changes in action
@Marky_X_@TheSoSBunker oh, the chart was fantastic. i wonder why did they change it ( for combat)
i really disliked the foraging(too much dice rng), hope a chart could make it much more fun. in higher difficulties, it could leave you dependent on the result of a chaotic dice roll to acquire some ammo
@Marky_X_@TheSoSBunker the game is really really hard( if you dont cheat), and i found no way to cheese it. and it gets harder as you increase the total player count (which seems a little strange compared to other games) thanks to the pressure mechanism
@Marky_X_@TheSoSBunker the art, components and the layout is a massive downside, but the gameplay was fun and would leave you eager to try again. whats the difference with the 3rd one ?
@Clint_Davey1 if i remember correctly, he changed the Office of trade with China icon from opium to something resembling a cargo in the John Companys final printing due to the same issue
@pollo_hombre ive not played any other game designed by him other than neanderthal and pax pamir (which i played the 2nd version by werle ) . i think im gonna watch a couple of playthroughs before i decide. thanks for the conversation
@pollo_hombre lol :))
so i have to use chatgpt again, i suppose
i have fine tuned a lengthy prompt over some time, with plus version, which learns and teaches the heavier games step by step :))
is BIOS more fun than neanderthal ? overall
@pollo_hombre dont. i trusted the designer because of Root and Pax Pamir, but the game is riddled with too much rules and ifs ,,, it gets in its own way
@pollo_hombre absolutely.
just took a look at BIOS, the board looks delicious :))
and i see that its also by Phil Eklund
i got a problem with his messy rulebooks
is it heavier than neandethal ? (by heavy, i mean a more messed up rulebook)
@pollo_hombre havent played/owned that one. i would give it a try.
but, i did buy greenland and neanderthal together, so .. i think im gonna alternate to find the most fun :))
@pollo_hombre i was playing single handed at the time, but due to the nature of the chaos events and random elder/tribesmen loss i totally worked and didn't ruin the fun
