Shroud vs France 6

[@lazygamemaster748]

Touch and go game. Man shroud is rough without stranded.

One of my favorite spirits to see videos of. I haven’t played them a lot and they have a ton of interesting decisions! Thanks as always!

[@zombocom2869]

Been looking forward to this. Your shroud guide was how I found your channel originally, so it’s fun to see it now in the app!

Base mist is such an RNG mess haha, great game navigating what it threw at ya!

@ 19:49 my first though was was to push the damaged town out of J8 into W5 to replace your lost fear/energy farm from M1

[@brianmurphy9039]

ahh yes nullifying a possibly game ending town mega build in W5 was the the less aggressive play , and probably the right choice. Just when I play Shroud or Vengeance I get super aggressive and it seems the more aggressive i play the better it end up working out (usually)

It was a huge risk to have to see the event after the second Slave Rebellion, since you could have been forced to take a blight somewhere or pulled Farmers (which kills you immediately by taking a blight or making land 2 build + another extra town). You should have simply destroyed two cities in the slow phase of the previous turn to guarantee the win. I think this is a very interesting matchup for Shroud. It's very much about managing your risk and recognizing how many explorers and towns you need to destroy to survive stage II. The water innate tends to be stronger than normal if you can pull a card like Mesmerized Tranquility or Sap, since you can push explorers into ravages to get rid of them. It's very easy to just lose to events, though.

@@celestialspark5697 yeah this matchup always rides on the knife’s edge, I definitely could have played sharper at the end

[@antonrs6065]

hedging forced blight with infinite vitality would have been the choice if he couldnt have killed the 2 cities in the slow

I feel like this matchup is ok for Shroud. Stage 1, France is not doing much. You can take one blight each turn, and focus on the non-building explores with Fog Closes In and Dissolving Vapors Stage 2, level 2 Suffocating Shroud clears an explore and escalation by itself; aim for this asap. Try not to die to ravages otherwise. Use Fog Closes In and level 1 Suffocating Shroud if you can't hit level 2. Dissolving Vapors should not really be played as you won't have the energy. You can't really afford 3 fear farms in this matchup for energy, imo. Please correct me on anything I've said!
