There is a non-zero chance that this is a false memory, which would explain why I can't find it, but listening to Episode 30 I remember one of you (I think @OEAO , but maybe @superfrog or @Flash_19 ; identifying voices is not one of my strengths) mentioning that you're generally not a fan of glyphs on level zero spaces, but that you discussed it in rhe WoS thread, so you weren't going to go into more depth in the podcast I've gone about crackers trying to find more discussion about that here, but my life doesn't allow the luxury of listening to a 2 hour podcast twice to confirm the small derail of whether or not what I recall was actually said. So, does one of you actually feel that way, and if you do, can I get a link to the postwhere you talk about it or a re-explanation?

I know we talked about level 0 glyphs (that's a thing Flash doesn't love), he goes into that a bit here.

I don't specifically remember anything about level 0 shadow but I generally only find it valuable if it comes as part of an existing level 0 path. For example, the level 0 shadow on Dance of the Dryads is not, generally speaking, very valuable. Doesn't mean it can't be the right call for a map (to fill/stretch space, for example), but a pit of level 0 shadow will mostly get ignored.

Awesome, thanks for the link. Yeah, I'm pretty much on the same page as you regarding level zero shadow. No point in dropping in a hole to give up +1 attack for +1 defense. That was part of what I was hanging up on.


Edit: That google doc requires requesting access. Any chance you can unlock it?


Edit edit: Thanks!

[superfrog]

Yep, unlocked.

Mike, Ken, and Nathan give their first thoughts and preliminary ratings for the 19 AoA units in Renegade's Wave 1.

Hey, Just started listening to the podcast. Since Renegade took over I decided I needed to find a Heroscape podcast. I've also been playing a bit more again lately. I had gone away for awhile after it was discontinued and was focused more on gaming overall. I recognized Mathias name and remembered that we had played a few times and been in touch and also had a common interest in Dragon Dice (and several other games apparently after I listened to the top 50. It would be cool to chat and catch up on things.
