Brand New Root Megathread

Would you like to join us for another game? We would try to add the expansion, but not sure if it will work.

Yes, I’ll do one more. I’ll try not to gum up the works with incompetence.

Ok I’ll start a new game then… any particular combination of factions you would like? I mean you can choose wich factions will be included in the random draw and I also know that not all combinations work well together. So, do you have any suggestions which four factions to include? We will stay on the same map with standard configuration of suits

I’m not good enough to know the right combos.

That should help us get to the 4 player ā€œreachā€

I created a game under my name
Password SP
Factions included: Cat, Duchy, Riverfolk, Corvid
Random Faction selection
Map: The one with the lake in the middle.

Why is the ā€œJoinā€ button not working for me?

I have no idea, anyway … the game also disappeared from the list. I created a new game
Same password, same settings

I was able to join this one.

The new game vanished again. I think it disappears when it’s not started within a day.
I created a new game, please join again…

The Join button is completely non-responsive for me again, like the first time around.

@Mirefox does it have to do with whether or not you have purchased the expansions? This game had I had one old faction and 3 new…

@JHTaube @Baelnor can anyone help out, or assumes what the problem might be?

From my side, I don’t mind trying again , starting a new game. Maybe with different combination of factions, might that do the trick?

Oh, maybe. I don’t have that last expansion pack. But you used to be able to play with against whatever the host has.

Not to make it difficult but I’m not going to buy the corvid/mole expansion at the moment. I really want it but $10 is enough that I’ve got other things to do with it.

Of course. And especially as we are not sure it’s the problem. You did manage to join one of previous games I created with the same factions…

But I’ll just create a new game and add only one new faction. How about that guys. If ok, which faction would you suggest and instead of what

Hmm, I don’t have the expansion but I can join okay…. I wonder what’s going on?

Unless it is clever enough that if you don’t have the expansions you can only join and play if you have an expansion slot available to you.

Let’s roll 4 base + moles

Game created guys @Mirefox @Baelnor @JHTaube
(4 Basic factions plus moles) password is SP

And I was able to join immediately.

Out of curiosity, why are we skipping the lizards/otters? And why not just open it up to anything and let the games play out as they will. I know there are suboptimal combos but I don’t personally care all that much.

I don’t mind @Mirefox , I was merely following a suggestion and I thought it sounds fine. The benefit for me is that I do not get overwhelmed when too many new factions I know nothing about clash together, this way I only have to learn about the moles a bit.
But next time we can let just let randomness decide. Lets just hope for now we get this game going .

I am in!
