gg! Smugglers here, I couldn't believe your army walking up from the south just after I destroyed the airfield on my border @1:32:00. The early bounty on myself for Landsraad standing was to try to get to 400 as soon as possible as it gives a 15% discount to buying CHOAM shares, which is huge late game. Your early triple blue in main base also had me worried about a gov victory, so I was banking a lot of influence on most of the charter votes as only Speaker, Gov and Loss of Rights really matter for political victory. I kept pillaging instead of liberating your border villages because: people tend not to respond as much, it's faster, and I was confident I could win via CHOAM before anyone else did via hegemony. Smugglers get big bonuses to pillage returns, so each village raid was worth about 2% of the shares.

great plays man, respect.

[@jakemaas7806]

Bro looking like the kwisatz haderach with that foresight, wp

[@carpysmind]

Great to see you posting another Dune game challenge

[@krogoth9522]

That was so cool to see smugglers stay in their character, bragging about how much money they are making, and it actually working! : ) Props to the dev team for making the game match the concept.

[@TehGnomeh]

I am no expert at Ecaz, but one thing I thought about is slowly replacing all your units with their respective "Super" version. Maybe like one at a time while you're at peace w/ everyone. Next time maybe! I really enjoyed seeing you play Ecaz instead of Harkonnens for once XD

[@chadcowman6293]

Love this game. Needs to grow. Needs more factions and units. Dune lore is huge

[@mrcobrabubbles6889]

Before you make a region your sanctuary make it have 5 master pieces then abandon it. Then make it a sanctuary.

[@jepkratz]

Great show! Want to see Fremen early aggro. Good switch up from standard greed play.

[@leftrom9738]

Nice game. The smugglers' player had some really funny one-liners :D

[@bigsarge2085]

We'll put a happy little sandworm right here!

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

nice! My dad was a big Bob Ross fan, he often referred to me as a happy little accident ;)

[@lxcrg3mump243]

Yay Dune Spice wars!!!

[@brandenmeeuwes1136]

Love the dune series

[@BrianThompson-cq4sb]

Yes more dune,this the game I was looking videos for and your the one guy I have been watching since I found the game. Great job looking forward to more

[@justinn5357]

Great video, awesome commentary as always. Do you recommend getting this game for someone who hasn't seen the movies / not into dune lore too much ? Like will it teach me about it .

[@turinRTS]

If you got a crew to play with, yes, or join our discord!

[@brandenmeeuwes1136]

Thanks for all the good content.

[@Xanthate1845]

Ecaz gets 30 free votes on each resolution for their 10k hedge bonus, so putting 10 votes into house minor resolutions is actually free if you take the time to look

[@hederdevries4403]

Love the dune content, keep it up!

[@user-jr4iy2cz6r]

Dune noob question: Turin mentioned capturing his sanctuaries late in the game to jump up in hegemony. At ~134:30 when the choam victory condition appeared, it looks like there are two options; out purchase choam, or go for the soonest win condition. How would you be able to gauge whether or not you could stall out by buying choam? Would it have been possible for Turin to split his army and try to get sanctuaries and race for a hegemony win? It seemed like smugglers read the situation perfectly with Turin set to win speaker and then gov at the next Landsraad, they made their choam push well timed. This game is so much fun to watch, just hard to decipher key points when there are so many ways to win.

[@michaelferguson-kb6xh]

So about being able to determine buying choam or not and trying to stall it out, it really depends on your econ. Turin's econ this game was not good (he was in the red a lot of it) and he only went 10% choam to be able to get the influence bonus. In other situations, say you're playing as Corrino or Hark, usually your econ will be robust to try to push for more choam buying. As for him trying to go for hegemony win, with smuggs being THAT rich and so far head, it would of been impossible. Turin's Authority generation at the end was 0.5 a day, and you need several hundred to capture one province at that point. However, it is a very common strategy for factions like Ecaz (their sanctuaries) and Hark (their pillage villages) to save regions to capture in the late game to push a hegemony win quicker.

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

keep the dune content coming chap. love it!

[@sleepykojirou8468]

Spreading culture to the locals!

[@adamferguson7663]

Does anyone know where to find an UPDATED list of the major conquest mode bonuses for each faction? There is an old one on steam before the Dec update but some of them have changed.

[@ryanlalliss5977]

Absolutely incredible thumbnail

[@Blackthorn1000]

I love your dune content Turin!

[@ChristopherWheat-ig7fl]

Love Dune Spice Wars. 😎👍👍

[@gustavomsas]

I would love to play with you! But definitely would like to see you play with my favorite faction - the fremen

[@chadcowman6293]

I came for the Palpatine quotes. I left happy.

[@_TheOldMan_]

Yey! Dune!

[@elijahsnow3119]

Happy little accidents I always say :3

[@Xanthate1845]

The unclaimed gift boxes are painful to watch, they can and will be stolen! :P

[@babesinclair]

Great game. Songs of Conquest please. They got a new update.

[@johlin94]

Respect the pink!

[@quentincollins1825]

Ecaz = "Dune" Quixote

[@thejoker1323]

You seem to have mentioned multiple times that you being ahead of the Fremens in hegemony is a bad thing. I dont get it, why?

[@jakemaas7806]

Leading in hegemony will always put a target on your back (bad landsraad votes, having towns raided, etc) and the deeper into the game you get, the bigger that target is. There wasn’t an in game buff or anything he was just hoping to use the Fremen as a political shield

[@zaka3709]

I'm glad you tried this specific Ecaz counselors that i've mentioned in a precedent video. There is still room for improvement, like puting art in your futur sanctuary from the start, etc ... but no judgment here, i'm still learning it and i'm way much worse than you at this game. Anyway, i know it's a lot different from Harkonnen but i hope you still liked it ;)
