Great video and thanks for making it! I learned a bunch but especially about the Watch Tower having more usefulness in phase E, maybe keeping the Church til phase end, and that the Warehouse combos with so many tiles. I do suspect that Watch Tower probably belongs in B or C tier though!

any reason for playing the 2-board setup with the two oceans on the same side? (rather than the default 2p setup for the balanced boards, which has one of the two boards rotated so the ocean is on the right-hand side of the table?)
@strategymeeples 21 күн бұрын
No particularly important reason. This setup looks visually a bit cleaner to me. You could ask in the discord group, I am sure players have done a deeper analysis into the board orientations for different player counts.

Raids and Retaliation at 9:20 meant you could push the town into E8, and the event would destroy the town. One of your fear cards gives coastal defense, so you could have pulled a town into E3 and the Dahan would have destroyed the town too for no cost.

@strategymeeples 2 ай бұрын
With Whirlwind, one tip I can give you is to think in terms of what are the limitations of this spirit rather than the strengths. That has made it easier to maneuver for me. For instance I always know that my max innate can destroy [1 city or 2 towns] and [3 towns or 1 city+1 town] max (without badlands and any other triggers in play). I will start looking for these patterns mid-game and prepare for future ravages accordingly. Hope this was helpful!

While it was nice to get the perfect element card and be able to use the innate, I wonder if something like Red’s major power based opening would be generally better for sunshine. He made it for dealing with England as travel river, but it might be more consistent as you are in big trouble of you go for minors and don’t get a cheap sun water card. Also once you unlock the extra energy it kind of goes to waste if you don’t go for majors. For reference he details the opening here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a521pZyujtN1lZYsi=TcE1JdUZwYZLqS9Q
@strategymeeples 4 ай бұрын
I have not played much Sunshine aspect before. I am sure Majors would work well on this spirit if we are able to consistently get 3 sun and 1 water elements. Outside of England, River can comfortably beat all level 6 adversaries by just playing minor cards.

@smashingty5990 4 ай бұрын
Nice work, love to see my fave spirit -- you play him a lot different than I do! If I see Pent-Up Calamity I snap it up, that's his #1 major IMO. It would have cleared out your land 7 fast (with your left innate), netted you more fear overall than Fright (5 more by my count), and you'd have tier 2 of Savage Revenge plus Plaguebearers to clean up your beast token land. I think it's possible that you might have had the win the turn after if you Plaguebearered from land 4 to 2 and played Strike Low, Calamity, and Plaguebearers again. (Left innate kills city in land 2, Calamity kills last city in land 5 by removing strife) Also you had the win with the last event card (pick other option for 1 fear), didn't need to risk the tiny % chance that your fear cards didn't net you a fear :)
@strategymeeples 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment! Yes, Pent-Up Calamity would have also worked well here. I was missing the 1 moon to threshold it though. I had all the elements to threshold Paralyzing and Voice during that turn and so prioritized them. And you are right about the last event. It would have given me an instant 1 fear to win but it also removes 2 invader cards from the deck and that would reduce my final score! I have too much faith in my fear cards haha
