What does your win rate look like here? I’m taking a stab at it now and it’s going how you’d expect. It seems like there are very few majors capable of swinging things in Whirlwind’s favor, especially with the elements it has on its tracks being largely unhelpful.

I've won all the Sunny vs England 6 games I've played. The question is how many attempts I've made before I won. The first time I attempted this was on a thematic board and it took me hundreds of attempts. When I finally won, I won in 5 mins with the card "Insatiable hunger of the swarm" (video is here somewhere if you want to look it up). Since then, I find majors that can easily hit thresholds and are not too expensive, are good for this game so - paralyzing fright, voice of command, instruments of their own ruin. These are the cards I will always pick. And I usually start off with picking a major power in the first turn, if its not a great card, I'll just keep picking other majors until I get something good. Good luck!

The "build step" is different from "build actions". If there are no cards on the build space, a build action will not occur, but the build step still happens every turn.

What would you have done if the first explore card was sand?
@spiritislandplaythroughs
@spiritislandplaythroughs 5 ай бұрын
I would have played the same exact cards in the first turn, gathering the Dahan most likely to land 7, probably pushing the town from the mountains into there as well. Next turn I would have played concealing shadows on that land and had the 5 Dahan there clean up the land. True, I would have 4 blight during the next ravage but my inlands would be relatively clean of towns/cities (well depending on what would have explored next). Of course whether I would go on to win the game or not would be dependent on a lot of things - blight cards, next lands to explore, etc., but regardless I would still do the same moves.

​@@spiritislandplaythroughsYeah, definitely a luck dependent spirit where you may have no choice but to let the island become blighted on the first ravage.

Nice game! You might want to increase the animation speed in the game, as that seemed to slow things down a bit as I was watching.

Thanks! I slowed down the animation before because someone had commented I played too fast. I will try somewhere in between perhaps - though this will be seen in a few months time as I have a lot of prerecorded games waiting to be posted.

I think you might want to be more aggressive with letting your presence be destroyed early on. That way you can add disease and blight to the board and better take advantage of its damaging abilities.

Badlands might be suprisingly good with Bringer since he can "kill" buildings easier and often needs to kill them more often than other spirits. Thanks for the video.

I was biting my nails watching you skate along for half the game with one blight left on the blighted island card! Appreciate that you're now making some written comments to your videos. I'm pretty sure I would learn a lot from you if you were able to record your thoughts as you gain cards and place presence during games too. I had one of my most exciting and unlikely victories playing Thunderspeaker on this board.

Indeed, getting Quicken the Earths Struggles was a lucky pick (thanks to the blight card) as it helped prevent more blight and on helped with reaching innate thresholds. I will be attempting to add commentary to some of my videos (probably once a week to begin with) starting later this week, so hopefully that will be a bit more clear as to my choices. Thanks for watching.

Yes it is with the new addition! At the moment I have a lot of pre-recorded games that are scheduled to be posted for the next 3 months. The first game with a new spirit (Stone) is scheduled to post on May 28. After that there will be more Stone and Vengeance games. There are however a lot of Habsburg games coming up (starting May 23). As for the most recent expansion (from last week) I have started some games with Russia but not yet with Many Minds. These games will probably appear somewhere in September. If there is a particular spirit/adversary/level you want to see let me know and I will play it and post it asap! I don't mind playing requested games otherwise I just play what is picked randomly.
