Im not sure I can tell whats good or not lol

Definitely pro a deranged, far too early, caveat loaded tier list. Please, please bring back some bat reps, they are sorely missed. I would love a brief hiatus on the faction focuses until the dust settles, just to give them a little more chance of being future proof if that makes sense. I find the faction focuses to be good reference tools and think a chance for the game state to settle will give them longevity. A “major changes” video would be considered essential in my opinion. Thanks and keep up the good work

Maybe something lore related? Like a recap of the major plot points from the past (20?) years?

What I'd like to see you tackle, once n5 goes live in DECEMBER NOW :( N5 - break down ALL the new stuff, but in a way that highlights why it's in the game, and why it's changed up from N4 - ala why we have drones now, and hover bikes, and turrets. JSA - because they are going to require more brain power to use then kestrel, highlight how, what's good, etc - not necessarily a faction focus, but rather an initial overview, maybe hot take? and finally, an overall breakdown of things that MAJORLY changed for each faction, i.e. not specific stat changes on units (unless very notable) but how lost units/profile have hurt each faction, and what units have been given have done to that factions meta. etc.

1) Hot-take Tier List 2) Faction focuses 3) A thesis on why vanilla Aleph is in fact playable and not a dumpster fire of hot garbage.

Do a pre-release N5 Hot Take Tier List!

This was lovely to listen to Robert, especially parts about game psychology. I am writing something similar for fencing workshops at the moment, about intent/commitment and aggression, and the parallels were fun to see. Your prose is excellent as always.

I enjoyed the video! Having played MTG competitively in a past life, the comparisons are appropriate. For future videos: I quite enjoy your faction focuses, as I find it helps me see things I haven't considered, whether with a faction I play or am learning to play against. I'd love to see some on new JSA, as well as Combined Army and Onyx. A hot takes tier list would be sweet as well; like someone else mentioned, it could be cool to compare after some time has passed. I also enjoy your battle reports. So i guess my overall answer is just "yes" lol.

Given Infinity's slow iteration cycle you touch on it would be great to hear from you what FOO strategies you see in early N5 and how you're thinking about countering them

I don’t think faction focuses will be too useful until the meta settles a little. I think battle reports that highlight a new unit or strategy with the focus being on the new thing would be nice. I also think a review of what metas/strategies are emerging on a monthly basis could be cool. Could work more / less often too.

30' of strategy discussion going through Infinity, StarCraft, MTG and Fighting games? Is it Dec 25th already? Sounds like xmas.

I noticed that the Orc was a bit cheaper( -3 points for the Multi rifle with no extra) on the Sand trap starter profile cards... so maybe they get a general discount. Also, since Varuna is gone probably all those profiles are gone or they pass something to the regular profiles as a legacy...

I've been enjoying the faction focus videos, but I think pairing them with a Battle report using the sample list will add variety and hopefully depth/nuance to the focus too. 👌

100% an unhinged hot take as the edition drops would be amazing. Especially as a retrospective once the edition has hit it's stride.

Bring out the battle reports! We want to see how your opinions are shaped as you explore N5.

Would be interesting too see your prediction on the 4 or 5 early FOO lists.

The answer the last four questions: Yes, yes we would.

Holy fuck! My infinity video talking David Sirlin playing to win! Hahahahahah As someone who plays fighting games this is a weird and unseen crossover

I lole rules explainer and battle reports

I'm happy to hear some else talk about First Order Optimals...

I think rules explainers for a new addition are excellent. And then I think that a hot takes video would get a ton of clicks

Digging out my Foo Fighters CDs right now!

Yes to all of them. I like your breakdowns of factions, makes them more approachable for me.

Love all of your video since I stumble upon them when I decided to be a bit more serious about Infinity, and lacking experience, your faction focus are really great to break down a faction and understand their strength and weaknesses ! Also, hot takes on all faction could be great too, and everything else as well !!!

Mediocre is an aspirational target for me.

Battle reports showing off new rules or models would be amazing. Plus I always love a good hot take tier list!

DERRANGED HOT TAKE TIER LIST!!!!

I expect to see team achillies in every game I play for the next year or so.... because they'll be in my list every damn time

I think we need a faction tier list right off the bat, that's completely done on reaction with no games or any real testing, just so we can refer back to it for how thoughts change once there are some games behind everyone

I love the faction focus videos, were I don't have a lot of experience it is nice to be able to lease it from others. Also the bat reports. I may not be able to play 3 games a week, but I can certainly watch them! In other news I took Tunguska to an escalation tournament running your list in the 3rd round. It consisted of a 150 pt game, a 200pt and then a 300pt game (also my 4th 5th and 6th games ever.) I tied for first, but got second when we looked at VP! I got a really cool prize, and made a lot of friends. Overall infinity has been a very rewarding experience and I've been very successful in my journey so far. I believe it is largely due to your videos, for not only providing great information, but also to motivate me to keep learning and playing. I eagerly await your next video and the wonderful leap we are all about to take diving into N5. Take care!

More of everything honestly. You are the infiniry content I reccomend to new people as a good source of learning. So more of all of it yes please. My personal greedy ask is the new shindenbutai faction focus asap would be super cool. Else More specificly for content an early tier list impression would be interesting so u can compare it down the road. Rules changes and how it will impact would be a very interesting watch. So really hoping that gets made, cause it feels like a great source of thought insights into how n5 is different from n4. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
