Root Protip #7 Scorched Earth+Coalition #shorts

Yeah, shit. You could have the corvid extortion just sitting there. Really powerful

Something I had an issue with is the Favour cards. I tested it in the Steam game and I believe it spares your allied pieces, but kills your coalition pieces if they're not allied.

Interesting! A downside to this example is that this would effectively remove the eyries revival mechanic if they were boardwiped and effectively lock them out of the game, as they could not recruit in this clearing and couldn't set up elsewhere. But yes, definitely something I hadn't considered

Hey bro, thanks for the tip. I just won as a Scoundrel playing in coalition with cat, she also played bird dominance so we just had to defend one corner and GG. :-D Best game in my life.

[Elements_of_MA]

Can the Scoundrel get their torch back? Or is it gone for good?

[Taphodox]

Hey! I’ve been really struggling with winning as the Marquise! Could you drop some tips and tricks for the big bad cats?

[leonliu]

Do you score because you turn all animals there sister hostile?

[itamarsher]

If a clearing is torched, but later in the game an enemy of the vagabond activates a matching favor card, would the clearing be of use again? And what would happen to the torch? Go back to the vagabond's satchel or removed from the game altogether?

[pseudotradutor]

What about the lizards? Could they transform that roost?

[fredkolouch]

ok, I'm going to challenge this for a second. The Law of Root only mentions "enemy status" when it's talking about hirelings. There's nothing in the coalition section that mentions a change in enemy status. I would assume the vagabond could still engage in conflicts with the faction it's in a coalition with (a very bad move) and therefore remove all pieces in a torched clearing. The rulebook is certainly vague around this issue, so I could see how your interpretation is valid, but it just seems unclear to me.

[Janisurai]

Can you spawn troops in that roost still?

[mosquito]

Wow, this really works! But when you form a coaltution you just share victory with another player. Their pieces counts as usual as enemy pieses, scince you can still be able to battle against them. Even if you reach 3d level relationship with them, their pieces still be counting as enemy pieces. Please, correct me if I wrong. But this case is phenomenal
