GG! Thanks for the video! Caught a few of your stream recordings on twitch as well - great content, can't wait for more!

That was a really interesting game . . . congrats on the win! Arguably the entire game hinged on the initial scouting. Alcaras, you went South and found the good city sites, while Frederik missed the southern passes and ended up having to settle the terrible cities along the coast.

Congrats Alcaras on ur first win vs Frederik - another instructive game!

And thanks Frederik for doing these cloud duels with Alcaras - so much to learn from the two of u :)

The schemer 2 orders per war is just way too much early game imo. Especially in an FFA it’s crazy Especially in the Schemer package.

[@alcaras]

Schemer's war order bonus is quite good, esp. in FFAs or a lot of tribes. But, as this game showed, Orator can be quite good as well!
