Video Summary - The Round Table Explained - Everything You Need to Know

Storyline (Context Around the Round Table)

Progressing through rebuilding/restoring Camelot unlocks and enables your Round Table.
The Round Table becomes a hub for:
- expanding your court,
- shaping laws/decrees, and
- recruiting aspirant heroes into your party through court organization.

Grandmaster assignment
- Assign a Grandmaster to reduce decree costs (useful later in the game).
Decrees
- Some decrees are earned via the morality chart.
- Others are basic decrees obtained by paying gold and/or construction resources.
- Additional decrees unlock as your morality alignment changes.
Laws
- Different laws become available through the morality chart.
- Passing laws grants permanent bonuses, positioned as especially important around mid-game.

There are two court titles initially, with more gained as your campaign expands.
You assign heroes to court titles to gain bonuses, but you must check each hero’s traits.
- Example:
  - Lady Dindraine has the trait “mission conscious.”
  - Court titles give her no loyalty, so assigning her there “doesn’t make sense.”
Loyalty is crucial
- Higher loyalty = stronger performance (“better fruits”).
- Disloyalty = worse in battle.
- Example of loyalty scaling:
  - A court title like “defender of the bridge” provides +100% loyalty.
  - The example notes loyalty normally would be +2, but with the boost it becomes +4, significantly affecting outcomes.

Before assigning heroes, read what they’re good at and place them accordingly.
Examples mentioned:
- Mordred (good at master at arms) → training ground
- Hero focused on potion brewing → hospice
- Artificer → enchanted tower
- Armorsmith / Merchant → their corresponding specialized roles/buildings (implied)

First upgrade: unlock hero slots
Slot expansion is tied to gold/building resource upgrades, with examples of increases like +2, +2, +2, unlocking additional slots across the top.
These upgrades are described as fairly expensive, so prioritize them judiciously.

If you have no space in hero slots:
- new heroes end up in the aspirant hero area,
- but they won’t join your court,
- and can’t be used.
When preparing to unlock a new hero (via a quest), the tip is to:
- dismiss a hero to make room,
- prioritizing dismissal of heroes who are:
  - disloyal, or
  - not aligned with your morality.

Aspirant heroes work in a one-way direction:
- once added to your court/Round Table, you cannot move them back.
Only move an aspirant hero into your court if you’re sure you want them in your party/court.

Unlocking laws via upgrades is recommended at least mid-game, since laws can provide “profound bonuses.”
