Very clear tutorial, thanks for making these!

[jpower]

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!

[stalydan]

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

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.

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.

Great video, and I have a question. Can the alliance preads sympath using the boat?

[MichaelQ]

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.

[kadaifmeister]

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

[maaaaa]

any committed pieces are basically gone forever?

[drorios]

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