Let’s Play Orléans! @Phoenix Comics & Games!

*In the city of Orléans and the area of the Loire, you can take trade trips to other cities to acquire coveted goods and build trading posts. You need followers and their abilities to expand your dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and scientists. Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions. Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work. Scholars make progress in science, and last but not least it cannot hurt to get active in monasteries, since with monks on your side, you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.* Orléans uses bag building, tech tree development, and worker placement. You will recruit followers and put them to work to make use of their abilities. Farmers and Boatmen supply you with money and goods; Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions; Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work; Scholars make progress in science; Traders open up new locations for you to use your followers; and Monks advise you what to look out for in the days and weeks ahead. You will always want to take more actions than possible, and there are many paths to victory. To be successful, you need to have a long-term plan, but you also need to be flexible and reactive to what you draw from your bag.
