Good job with these strategies. :) One thing you play wrong though. The agents does not ready after the agenda phase. (Only planets are readied after agenda phase.) So you can’t use them twice like you say at 11:50.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

Thanks for pointing that out!

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

Pinning this comment because it’s a great clarification that I missed.

[@Jaded_AF]

There's no shortage of faction overview videos, but I think yours are my favourite.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

Thank you!!

[@sunra3616]

Also for me. Really great content.

[@Skychael]

Thanks for the guide. I really built up a massive amount of money the first 2 rounds and due to public objectives I went for 2 green 2 blue. With a yellow skip in my slice I started sending my upgraded flagship into my neighbors' slices and would deal heavy damage to them. Then they'd spend money to rebuild fleet and take back the system (while losing more units) and I'd just rebuild it for free with sling relay and go for round 2, and then round 3 thanks to bio stims. Only issue was running out of infantry to actually take the plabets after I won the space combat. On the flipsideI think none of my neighbors will want me to play Nomad in the next half year LOL.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

Thanks for watching! This video was done up before 1,000 subscribers was reached. Thank you so much for your support! How do you play the Nomad in your games?

[@dreadpiratexx]

I use a small metal TARDIS for the flagship

[@phoenixfire2403]

Ideas for fighting the Nomad. Try to take out their mechs to keep their flagship from moving more than it should. Also try to keep them from winning agendas too much.

[@kaimo]

This Guide is awesome, really well done!! I'm totally hyped again after our last round on the weekend and now I'm at work googling everything I can find about TI :D Your Guides are the best ones so far I could find out there, thanks dude!

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

You’re too kind! I’m just glad you enjoy them!

[@themightyspargus3832]

Really loving the TI content. 👍 Congrats on the 1k subs. I've only played The Nomad once and didn't do well. I didn't fully appreciate how all the abilities synergised together. Really want to play The Nomad again now that I understand the abilities better

[@themightyspargus3832]

Another thing I don't think you mentioned, Temporal Command Suite essentially gives you access to every other players' agent. It allows you to pay them to use their agents on you and still use them on themselves.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

That is a good point. This is really not a faction to make too many enemies with. I like his ability to interact with people in that way

[@23Silverknight]

Nomad is the last faction I need to play. I am so stoked play them.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

They are so much fun

[@athullnexus5450]

When using The Betrayer for Agenda phases, can you use the agent for both proposed laws or only one of them?

[@athullnexus5450]

Where is CCC getting 10+ trade goods from at 15:41. I get that the trade card plus Artuno gives 6, so where does the 4+ come from?

[@jessedijkstra1220]

at around 15:30 you talk about getting 10+ trade goods using artuno, trade and temporal command suite, however you would still need to get lucky with an additional way to get trade goods from the supply otherwise you just get the money early but unless you needed that money there is no real benefit to it.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

Correct. An additional way could include exploration, relic usage, and a few other instances. Good call.

[@guillaumemaljournal5250]

Can you in the very same turn, get TG let's 3 from Trade, use Arturo, claim 3 TG on him, ready Arturo with temporal command suite, and claim 3 more TG on him "hey I get 3 TG from supply this turn" ? Means, use Arturo twice in a turn ? Thx. Nice serie

[@RickarRickani]

What do you mean with Strategy and Agenga Phase all cards refreshing twice? Last stap of the Agenda phase only Planets refresh.

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

I’m going to pin a comment with that clarification! I definitely messed that up

[@pebete7]

Hey! Why are you saying you can triplicate your trading goods? If you get 3 TG with TRADE, you put 3 TG on your agent. With your tech faction you can ready your agent. How could you put 3 more TG in your agent if you have already used TRADE?

[@pebete7]

Could you please explain step by step how to get those 10 TG? I didn't get it.

[@GreenSkinGentleman]

1.)Pop Trade Strategy card 2.)Refresh commodities (You still need to trade them out) 3.)Gain 3 trade good from supplies 4.)Agent mirrors the 3 trade goods. (You need to ready them again to actually get the trade goods) So thats 4 + 3 + 3. What I don't understand is how temporal command suite comes into play in this because you get free refreshes at end of round anyway and there are only limited ways to gain TGs from supply outside of the Strat card.

[@Monkeyman12534]

Doesnt the thundarian guarantee retreats?

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

No, it does not. It moves back up to the top, it doesn’t ever get to the “retreat” step of combat within that round.

[@FiestyCheese]

Pray for me as I become the Nomad in an 8 Player game tomorrow

[@CardboardCrashCourse]

🙏

[@guillaumemaljournal5250]

How did it go ?

[@FiestyCheese]

@@guillaumemaljournal5250 held my own for quite some time, and took over many systems. Unfortunately did not win. Was in like.....fourth place of an 8 player game

[@Abdallah7_1]

I think this faction the nomade is over cheated in front of others ancients factions 😮 it is not respectuous. Look the planete : an 4/4 😮 ? What else ? The flag ship ? Ok , the abilities included of others factions in one : the nomade . If you decide to play the nomade you play the hacan at the same time, the mentak and what else ? 😅 no thx. Or it s good to play against very strong factions like Mahact or Jol Nar they are cheated too... anything 😂
