CoV Listener Questions

• Favorite/least favorite non-standard tournament formats. Standard being kill them all, standard start zones & placement, bring one army with no army restrictions, Swiss style match-up; so not standard meaning in alt objectives, start zone/placement, army restrictions, multi-army or draft or other army selection, and match-up assignment)
• RTW discussion - who came up with, fist use at local then Gencon, evolution of format and meta
• Discussion of formats at Gencon 2020 (once finalized)

More great questions- thanks! We’ll be sure to cover these.

You might want to discuss wendigo at Gencon 2016 for your map stuff. That map was so nice to range that my krav/Raelin/stalkers build beat a Hydra x4 ornak build really easily. Thankfully, I can't think of any other Gencon maps that were so slanted in that direction, but I think any discussion needs to talk about that map at some point.

Fair point, we’ll definitely cover some missteps in the map pool over the years. That map was very problematic.

Some really good suggestions. It’s given me a lot to think about.

Thanks again for listening and the great questions!

Definitely a lot to unpack for sure. No worries! I'll just be patiently waiting.

BTW, the structure, time, and flow of this episode felt really good to me. I also appreciated the more limited number of hosts - it was much easier to follow. Good work!

Perfect- that’s the type of feedback that’s helpful! We’ll be staying with the rotating co-host structure for the foreseeable future. I’m glad 95 minutes didn’t feel too long! I’m shooting more for 60-75.

Thanks for answering my question, turkeys!

I enjoyed this episode. I think 3 was a good number of hosts. I wouldn't go higher than 4. Or longer than this episode.

This was definitely the most polished so far. Good work on the editing, OEAO.

Agreed. Good stuff here.

Learned something new about the whole Marcu in each army thing...BUT, I'm not sure how it works or rather I'd kinda disagree. My assumption is that you don't have to roll because you can't have 2 of the same unique figure in your army. So with Marcu, it states that you control him for the remainder of your opponent's turn if eternal hatred happens. How is that negated by your opponent also having Marcu? your opponent controls your Marcu for your turn, he isn't part of your army for that turn. I'm probably missing something though...because clearly this is a thing.

That’s the official ruling in the FAQ and Marcu book, I’ve always gone with that. I think it’s just that you can’t control two uniques at the same time. Someone who knows more about the rules could probably answer this better than I can.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks DS! Hope we at least partially answered your question, even though Ken spent the whole time just saying that he can’t...

Thanks for listening!

The important thing here is everyone needs to bring Hawthorne next year.

[Sir Heroscape]

Well if it's in the FAQ, then I guess that answers it I'm kind of okay with it though because I'm looking forward to running into that situation some time
