Corrections:
6:48 - When placing Dominance cards to the side, I say that any OTHER player can acquire them, but you can too on a later round. (Thanks to Paulo Renato for spotting this one)
8:18 - I accidentally left a clearing empty that should've gotten a cat. Do what I said, not what I did. (Thanks to TutorialsForMom for this one)
16:40 - A new update to the Law of Root (published after this video) describes what's called Full Removal: Whenever an enemy player uses an effect that says it removes all enemy pieces from a clearing (such as Alliance revolts, Favor of the Mice cards, Conspiracy bombs) with the Vagabond, the Vagabond damages three items. (Thanks to Rotten Jeeves for this one)
18:43 - Just to be clear, because birds are wild, you can give the Woodland Alliance a bird card to satisfy Outrage. (Thanks to Paulo Renato for this one)
20:51 - If a tea, bag, or coins get exhausted, move it to the satchel. These can be moved back as soon as they're refreshed. (Thanks to Grant Smith and laes25 for pointing this out)
23:37 - The placement of the caption implies that the birds couldn't leave their space. Sorry for the confusion. The cats were allied and thus were unable to leave due to the birds ruling the clearing.
23:53 - You become hostile to other factions by removing their warriors, not by removing any of their pieces (Thanks to Tyler Pacheco for spotting this one)
24:46 - If you perform "An Evening's Rest," repair and refresh all items instead of just repairing. (Thanks to David Kuling for noticing this)
