How do I setup the game?

Asked with: Aeon Trespass: Odysseybg-242705-en-1e

When instructed to setup a Battle, perform these steps:

1. Place the Battle Board in the middle of the table.[1]

2. Shuffle the Trauma decks, the Kratos deck and the Moiros deck.[1]

3. Place all decks in the designated spaces and place Kratos tokens, Attack dice and Power dice within reach of all players.[1]

4. Each player places their Argonaut Portrait and Mnemos cards in front of them.[1]

5. Each player places their Triskelion near their other components.[1]

6. Each player chooses the Titan they will control from the available Titans and takes its Titan Sheet and miniature (if at least four Titans are available, each Argonaut must control one Titan).[1]

7. Players as a group assign Gear cards from the Argo Armory to the Titans, respecting slot limits for weapons, support, armor, and attachments.[1]

8. Players choose the Argo Abilities they want to use during the upcoming Battle (up to the allowed AA Limit) and place them next to the Battle Board along with the indicated number of Charge tokens.[1]

9. Place the Primordial Sheet of the Primordial you are about to fight in the designated space near the Battle Board, and place its Routine and Signature cards in the corresponding spaces.[1]

10. Divide all of the Primordial's AI cards into three decks numbered I, II and III, and do the same for the Primordial's BP cards.[2]

11. Place the AI and BP decks numbered 'I' on the appropriate spaces at the bottom of the Battle Board, and place decks numbered 'II' and 'III' directly below them.[2]

12. Find the Trait cards for any Traits not described on the Primordial Sheet and place them nearby as a reference.[2]

13. Find all Terrain cards and Terrain tiles used in the Battle; place Terrain cards near the Battle Board and Terrain tiles on the Battle Board according to the Battle Diagram.[2]

14. Place any additional Adventure Terrain if noted.[2]

15. During the Battle Setup of a Timeline Battle with an Adventure Terrain, place the corresponding Terrain tile(s) on the Battle Board after all Battle-specific Terrain tiles are placed, ensuring they do not overlap with Titans, the Primordial, or other Terrain tiles.[3]

16. Place Titans on Titan Starting Positions as indicated by the diagram.[2]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

what the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 80 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

generation — timing and the path taken

timing split: retrieval 87 ms · first delta 4726 ms · total 8455 ms (retrieval and first-delta both measured from the START of gateway work, so first-delta INCLUDES retrieval — do not subtract)
full breakdown: queued 0 ms · retrieval 87 ms · ask 8365 ms · gateway work 8455 ms · total 8455 ms
tokens in (the prompt the answerer read): 2957
tokens out (what the answerer generated): 514
tok/sec: 139.6 tok/sec — 514 output tokens in 3.681 s of generation
live seat (read from the running child): answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 14s ago)
stream path: streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

disposition

outcome: ANSWERED — Answered
abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NO_APPROVED_CHECKLIST — setup-shaped, but no approved setup checklist exists for this game
pattern that matched: SETUP — "setup" / "set up"
matched words (in the normalized question): setup

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 516), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
