[@strifonov77]

@the_propaganda_panda Thank you for such a detailed description of your thoughts. It is very interesting to listen and analyze.

[@Zeffirara]

Loved to hear your reasoning behind all of your decisions! It was very insightful.

[@Kapibar]

Thank you youtube algorithm. Exactly what I needed right now.

This was a truly excellent walkthrough, and the game was tight and interesting. Thanks so much, very much looking forward to more.

I love the emu cup contents

loved the commentary :)

[@monkeyunit4533]

Great video. The commentary is excellent and very clear how you talk through your plays. It's amazing to hear how you can both read eachothers plays. I now realise that where I really need to grow. One small thing, Zoo School could have gone into Europe region, which would also let you place the 2 size on the 5 money.

[@the_propaganda_panda]

Thank you for your kind comments! But don't underrate yourself - with how strong you already are, you are likely only some minute details away from making the jump to the 600-700 level. It always seems like a daunting gap, but one day, something suddenly clicks and you'll climb even further. Also, you have a 1-0 record against me ;-) And you are totally right about the Zoo School. This would've made sure that I can get the 5 money and given me even more flexibility. Europe was definitely a better placement spot!

@@the_propaganda_panda Thanks for that, really appreciate it. Oh, I know I should stop playing when tilted. And not get tilted so quickly sometimes. And not play turn based matches during the day when working.

33:37 Would it be better to take the continent bonus for money, and then use the Pelican’s ability to build one kiosk?

[@the_propaganda_panda]

Very good suggestion. I would say: Yes. You give up one rep for 2 money and a kiosk which will give 3-4 income (likely about 10 money), and it fixes the action order. Didn't see it at all, but it must be much better than what I did!

@@the_propaganda_panda I'm watching the game right now and enjoying it a lot. I came here for the same question. The alternative that came to my mind is postponing the petting zoo animal play in order to have the money to build a kiosk or even a random size 3 (or even: kiosk with the map reward + build size 3). How would you evaluate any of these? EDIT: Ok now I noticed that you will already get a size-3 enclosure as a CP bonus, so I guess it doesn't make much sense to build another one

[@the_propaganda_panda]

@@JohnnyStecchino14 Yes, I always was planning to take the size-2 reward with my project and even though the size-3 bonus from 5 CP isn't great, it's still better than 5 money. This was why I didn't even consider using the Action: Build from the Pelican, as I was fairly sure I would have enough enclosures for the rest of the game. However, a kiosk would've definitely been the right choice, whether by taking money or just the posturing bonus, as you correctly suggested. I am pretty poor, and the money would've been much more useful than the 1 rep!

[@JohnnyStecchino14]

@@the_propaganda_panda makes sense, thanks for the answer! I like using that action to get it back to position 1, so I also think get money abd build kiosk is my favourite option after all

[@the_propaganda_panda]

There are actually more than 2 placement spots for Cable Car...
