What were last three stars ? One for combat, and other 2 ?
@10freekie210 күн бұрын
I was just this combination and i really found it hard how to win combats because i didnt want to win bolster. Is it just sheer numbers of having multiple mechs at the same spot all the time?

Since you discussed the score calculator in this video. Do you feel playing around the table without the calculator makes it harder to stall the game?
@FOMOF2 ай бұрын
I’d say so. While experienced players can calculate score very quickly, it’s easier to end the game confidently with the tracker and this does make it more difficult to stall.

Interesting, that only worked because the bug regarding the objective with having 3 buildings wasn't fixed, yet ^^ As Jamey stated on bgg: "The objective may be achieved if you have at least 3 structures, and none of the structures you have are next to your home base."
@FOMOF2 ай бұрын
You are correct about the rule. The wording of the objective was arguably confusing and as you said, DE allowed one building to be adjacent to your base at the time if three others weren’t.

@FOMOF that was how I understood the rule at first, too 😅 but when I tried it, the bug had already been fixed, and I was not amused 😆

I just had a multiplayer game as Nordic Agricultural with Albion, Rusviet, and Saxony. ...I couldn't go for the farms due to rus and albion attacks. I eventually built a mine on my mountain and didn't realize that saxony could attack it. I was so board with the game I just quit after getting attacked through my own mine. None of the players cared about popularity either. Difficult to build mechs with Trade/iron card not giving money and no access to farms for the 3 gold on agriculture. I don't mind losing but it was just so boring.

It seems like at about 30min you could have ended the game in 2 turns if you had used your Factory card to build a Mech and then use the move action to go from the Tundra through the tunnel to Rusviet's forest with a tunnel with the single worker -- that would have given you the Mech star and star for Send One Back. Then your next action would be Move taking your two Mechs and Character from the Factory and attacking the two Rusviet Mechs on the Mountain to give you the Combat Star. Am I wrong?
@user-fi5kf1cg2o3 ай бұрын
Love the video, as usual @Fomof. That was an EPIC battle. I have never seen anything like it.
@FOMOF3 ай бұрын
If I had gone to 5 stars with only one combat Rusviet could have spread and attacked me on the factory. If I didn’t have enough points to beat Nordic winning the combat I’d have had to throw the fight losing the factory and almost certainly the game. Going to 5 stars without having 2 combats already is risky unless you have an insurmountable lead. I don’t think I had one at this point in the game.

There really just isn’t enough data on those. They aren’t on the digital edition, which limits how many times they can be played, and reduces the incentive for high level players to explore their capabilities. Plus, the variable strength of factory cards certainly would dramatically affect it as well.

I remember when I thought of this one. Kinda just wondered what would happen if I upgraded first and went from there. It varies. Sometimes an idea just hits you. Sometimes you pound your head against a wall on a combination for hours and get nowhere. Some of it is inspiration. A lot of it is just hard work and not giving up.

FOMOF -- Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are so great an insightful. In this game, I am not sure why on turn 4 (?) you moved your worker to the farm, when you said you hated to do it? I didn't follow that. Also, I didn't know you could gift coins. So what happens if the player (Mr Der in this case) rejected the coin? Could they reject it so that you can't gain the Objective?
@FOMOF5 ай бұрын
You can’t reject coins in the digital edition. I don’t like moving the worker to the farm because then it takes and extra produce and an extra power to get to 8 workers.

Instead of giving Der a coin, could you have waited one more turn and spent a coin to trade for a mech or bolster? I think you can turn in Roll Up Your Sleeves in between bolstering and doing your enlist so you can still take the coin from enlisting.

FOMOF - thank you so much for your videos! They are so insightful. Quick question, in the games I play I always try to maximize Popularity (Hearts). Not necessarily to hit 18, but at least to be above 13, as it seems that is how you get the most points. So I was very surprised when I heard you say in another one of your videos to always get the worker star. Whenever I have gotten the worker star it has been such a massive Heart-suck that I have never done well that way. But in this game I noticed you didn't pay any attention to your Popularity and ended in the lowest tier. I guess if you are rushing to end the game in the shortest turns then maybe it doesn't give other players the time to get high on the Popularity track, which perhaps mitigates the spread of points. But it still seems that having above 13 Popularity would be a chief way to get the most points. Do you have any comment about getting the worker star vs aiming to get above 13 in Popularity in order to maximize points?
@FOMOF5 ай бұрын
You almost always want the worker star. It’s one extra turn past 5w for a star and gives you more spread ability. Get it on your last produce if you don’t want to spend pop to produce. It’s worth it.
