Root Digital Playthrough #5 Woodland Alliance

Here's a wild game I found myself in with some stiff competition. How do the top players stifle the WA? Watch as my opponents and I struggle for space in this crowded matchup.

Special thanks to Kaznar342, TheCaptain and Andrei23.

Feel free to drop a Super Thanks in the comments if you want to support me.

The Eyrie winning was the last thing I expected LOL

HI Nitro! I just got Root for Christmas, and I absolutely LOVE the game. It's really interesting to hear your commentary, and I think your channel is improving my play. Your content is if War of the Ring Champ and Bob Ross had a baby -- that's a good thing! Thank you so much for making these videos!

Very interesting game ! The way that lizard bother you is very awesome. And your false order move to catch the partisans missing to revolt in the lizard clearing was awesome ! Very cool :)

I don't know why the 3D models are so cursed to me 😂

When lizards are in the game with birds, starting cats in the bottom corners is the better play. The lizards will 9/10 take the other bottom corner, forcing the eyrie and lizards to fight on one side for space.

Hi Nitro! Can you make a video abot the different interactions between factions, like what faction should you pick depending on the other factions available, what are the biggest threats for each faction and who can you take advantage of. I belive the maps make a difference too, so i hope maybe you could clarify all this in a future video🤠. By the way, very cool gameplay!!🐭

Is Root Digital easy to enjoy without Adset? As a side note, do you think Despot Infamy will ever get in?

I've been playing Adset over at Tabletop Simulator with plans for buying a full collection of Root for real when they release one with all the updated rules. I can't imagine going back to standard, especially as Marquise or versus Vagabond without Despot Infamy.

I'm still dying for Vagabond quest refreshing to become a main rule too, and I can't imagine being able to do that in digital unless they formally patch that in.

Fuck, but I hate kingmaking out of spite.

Hey Nitro! Quick Ruling question here.

The setup is as follows:

1. Vagabond with 28 points, Erie Dinasty with 28 points.
2. Erie Dinasty and Vagabond are hostile.
3. The Eerie Dinasty battles the vagabond with 3 warriors.
4. The vagabond does not have available swords (so it can't deal any regular hits ) but it activates an Ambush.

Question:
Does the Vagabond score 2 points before the battle is resolved because of the ambush thus winning the whole game?

P.S: the reason the Eerie Dinasty is attacking the Vagabond in the first place is because we play with a custom rule to nerf the Vagabond in which any enemy player that breaks a Vagabond item wins a point.

Hey man, idk if you're still reading these, I was just wondering why you didn't move the lizard warriors from your mouse base onto the rabbitclearing, when you used false Orders, wouldn't that Kind of solved 2 issues at the same time? Triggering outrage giving you the rabbit/bird supportet you needed plus removing those annoying warriors from your base?

Why did the Eyrie players avatar look different than normal at that start of the game?

[babon]

why not put sympathy on lizard garden at first turn and revolt there? as the lizard player, what to do in this situation?
