    Love these strat vids. Quick note though: you can continue to take bottom row actions just for the coins. So, even if you have, say, built all your mechs, you can still do the deploy action just to get those monies.

      @@christianwilliams4242 Definitely. It's a solid strategy especially in the endgame when you're behind on stars.

    I played my first game today. Focussed on upgrades in the beginning and getting a lot of workers, then mecs to move around and got my leader to pick up 3 discovery cards which were very helpful during the game. My last three turns got me 3 stars and I won the game with 96 points. I benefited from every upgrade wether movement, spamming popularity near the end in combo with building, raising power and cutting costs on everything before I start buying.
    Stars were (in order) : Mechs, battle, mission, (worker + upgrade in one turn), building the very next turn.

    How is there three food available at 2:09? There was just one produce action with one worker thereby just one food. The enlist action requires 3.

  • @samuelmattox7875

    At 2:59 its my understanding that you can still do the bottom row actions for the coins but you wont get the build/enlist/upgrade/mech. Essentially meaning that the coins are hypothetically limitless.

    • @dr-ty-runs
      @dr-ty-runs 4 года назад

      True, but that doesn't seem very productive. unless you have access resources for that bottom action. but I don't see why you would focus gathering resources for a "mech" just for coins when that objective is over. You could be focusing the next objective and gathering coins still.
      I should've addressed that, you make a good point.

    • @richtungmeer
      @richtungmeer 4 года назад +3

      ​@@dr-ty-runs Great video, mate, but I do have to point out a major flaw probably due to the fact that you don't play Scythe competitively. Getting lots of coins at already done bottom row actions is a serious win condition in the end game, especially if you upgraded it before to make it cost you almost nothing.

    @danielpiotrowski4946 3 года назад +5

    The boards don't have limits. You can choose to build a mech even after your 4th mech is built. You still get the coins, but not a fifth mech

      For real?

    • @hardyhousegames
      @hardyhousegames  Год назад +1

      That is actually true. Sometimes there's a benefit to getting the coins even if the other bottom board action isn't taken. We were reading the rulebook again last night and it's something the designer himself suggested as a possible strategy in the rulebook.

  • @5Minuteman

    Wouldn't you have been one food short of doing that enlist at about 2:00? The mill and one worker make 2 food right?

    I get all workes a lot of the time. Easy star. And lots of units to claim land and the end of the game when u move. I also try to end the game with a battle(movement) so i can position these worker all over the map before the game ends.

  • @travelwithdrawal8067
    @travelwithdrawal8067 9 месяцев назад

    I’m confused! Where did you get the third food from at the beginning? Doesn’t one worker plus one mill = 2 food but you need 3?

  • @iandestroyerofworlds576

    Also, keep in mind that different player counts call for different strategies.
    The more players, the more peaceful you might want to be.
    The less players, the more aggressive the player tends to win.

      Damn 40 points!!! What did you learn your mistake was?

    • @OllieCreates
      @OllieCreates 2 года назад +3

      @@ichoosepineapples It all started when I hired too many workers at the beginning, so my production was costing me combat power and popularity. I was playing Saxony Agricultural and I didn’t secure any wood producing tiles early game, so I wasn’t able to build any of my structures. I also couldn’t enlist until like the last turn. I focused too much on building mechs, and I waited to bolster too late in the game. I effed it up in pretty much every way you can.

    hi sry but i have seen something that was not quit right, first in your 5 rounds the lasst thing you do you dont have enough food to use this for enlist you only get 1 so there you was wrong, secound your thinking about not go to popurlarity, is not wast of time, becourse you get more end points out of it, for each thing you did area control and recourses have and stars you have, the one who has the most points in the end wins the game, even if the winner have 6 stars, you can lose if you have not the most points.

  • @dimitris3655
    @dimitris3655 2 года назад

    Sorry but I completely disagree with most of the advice, specially about Polania.
    With Polania you are looking to go to as many encounters as possible and be able to move around the map quite fast compared to others.
    Polania agriculture you can easily get to the factory by 7th turn and much earlier if you are lucky with the encounter.
    Then you are looking for 4 to 5 easy stars. Mechs, Enlists, Power and two battles, depending on the factory card, you can go for the 8th workers if it gives production or upgrades star if it gives you upgrades.

      I think what he meant in the video is that Scythe is good, but he doesn't consider himself to be one of the best players of all time (I think he said "it's good, not the best"; the "not the best" referring to himself, not the game).

      Enlists only operate off of you and the two adjacent players too you. Meaning that it has the same strength in every game with 3 or more players.
