I misspoke on Relentless! Yes it “can” give two actions (it usually does because you are mostly at 2 prowess with LotH) but it gives an extra action for every prowess you do!

Can confirm: You can trust him on that one.

I've binged this entire series as a new player trying to figure out all the races in the expansions, and it's been fantastically helpful. I've been doing way better in games since watching these videos.
Are you planning on making a strategy guide for the Keepers In Iron any time soon? That would be amazing.

[Ashton.camilleri]

Yes!! New root content 🔥🔥🔥


Btw, the editing on these newer uploads are very nice

[OliverToal]

And then they all lose... because you won. That line got me! 😂

These Root videos are awesome, please do a badgers strategy guide!! Also Root is my favorite game thanks for making great content!

[nitrorev]

This is a fantastic guide! You covered all the little pitfalls that newer players find themselves in and really hit the nail on the head about how you have to see your role at the table from a point pace and policing standpoint. I was going to make my own guide but now I'll need to find some more things to talk about because you basically hit every important point! I still haven't checked out your round 3 game as Lord of the hundreds but it's in my queue. See you around the woodland.!

[TimChuon]

YASS here for the return of the strategy guides!! lord of the hundreds look so fun to play man! super cool to see how they like to monopolize clearings-definitely making me want to get back into root asap and find my lost copy of marauders! 😂

[JM-plof]

Can't wait for the Keepers guide! Keep up the great content!

[atmmachine]

Won my first Root game today as the Lord of the Hundreds! I think I found a new favourite.

[gingeraletrinker]

Really solid guide. Thanks Sam you're doing a great job.
Two points I disagree with: first the adjacent mob idea. If you want to surprise you're opponents, than why put down a mob in turn advance when they see what might come to them. It's not only not luck depended but it actually achieves the same board state when you incite in the clearing you want in the turn you squad there. With the difference that you don't have the other mob on the board which imo is a liability in most cases because it is a point for an opponent.
Second the fox crafts. Sword and crossbow are prowess items and therefore pretty good but as you said wrathful and stubborn are some of the best moods. I actually think bunny crafts are some of the most important, because boots only shut down jubilant and coins are 3 points. Charm offensive is actually a really really good warlord craft and swap meat just has a lot of utility.
And one little addition for the opening: try to fill 2 adjacent 2 slot clearings ASAP with strongholds. This just let's you craft a lot and you have 2 clearings that you can easily opress with your command actions. Then the warlord runs around for more cleanings to opress and when he dies, you still have a huge army at home that the newly anointed Warlord can use immediately.

I just played this fraction the first time today. A couple questions:

1. Advance the Warlord action: Could you choose to not move at all and just battle up to your prowess?
2. Mob tokens: there's no way to remove/move placed mob tokens unless another faction destroys them?
3. Can you not do any part of Raze if you have no mob tokens on the board?

played this last week...man I liked this game!

[soogymoogi]

So sad I haven't gotten my KS (and Marquis plush) yet! Will just have to live vicariously through strategy guides

[NMPHBA]

As an avid skaven enjoyer I can already tell I’m gonna love this faction

[aidanista]

The editing in this video is great! I'm pretty new to Root and have only played W.A and the Rats, but so far the rats are definitely my favorite! Thanks for making a strategy video :) any advice against Lizards players as this faction? There's a Lizard FIEND in my group and it seems like a really difficult matchup. Thanks!

[cesarpim]

Hey Sam awesome content ❤️ as always. Just a few questions/remarks:
- Why is spreading a mob more surprising to our enemies than inciting the mob directly on the target clearing? They have one turn to react in both cases..
- Relentless doesn't give you 2 more actions, it gives you 1 more action per Prowess.
- True that warlord won't opress so much at higher player counts, but he's really good at scoring from destroying buildings and tokens in battles, and at higher player counts there's a higher abundance of such targets.. And other players also have a slower scoring at higher player counts. Don't you think it might balance out?

[rafazdunek]

7:28 I saw that pain in your eyes 😂
And man, apart from content that is really well edited video!

[RocketStar]

Played my first Rat game on five player (yes we call it rat). I somehow won, but if you snowball everyone just stomps you and it’s hard to comeback. When your warlord dies that’s when lavish is good because you can immediately come back strong

[brunodular]

Great video! Looking forward to the one about Keepers in Iron!
