Another great video! Love the new cam. What do you think of the following. I had Saxony Ag with one impossible objective, and one that would take a couple of extra turns to achieve. When I got to the objective on turn 3, I thought if I could either get an upgrade or 2+ oil, I could use it to start on a path of upgrading a total of four times (2 each on deploy and enlist). To get there, once I had five workers, I moved two from Village to oil, and one extra to mountain (for 2 oil, 2 steel, 1 worker). I had used the oil from the encounter to upgrade production. I produced once, moved my workers from oil to the mountain, produced again (worker star). Now, with 1 F to enlist and 2 steel to deploy one has all the resources necessary to max out both and pick up the power star along the way. It seems hard for opponents to disrupt and by round 17 all I needed was 2 combats (with 16 power) or one combat and one objective. Am I missing something? Obviously slower than your strategy, but is it a good alternative if one or two of the objectives is difficult/impossible to achieve? Thanks!
Hey dude, what do you think of this opening? 1) Trade 2 metal 2) Produce 1 metal 1 oil 3) Trade 1 metal 1 oil, deploy speed 4) Move hero and oil worker to village, upgrade?
I like it. It’s faster than what I did. The downside is you are gambling that you will get an upgrade/oil off the encounter. I feel like one upgrade to move and deploy gives you the ability to triple team for combats AND means that producing only one metal sets you up for a trade/Deploy which saves you from extra trades to get those Mechs. But I do like it. Sometimes you have to gamble when you have a weak combo.
@@FOMOF but you will have enough oil for one upgrade. Do you mean that a second upgrade is needed? In case you don't get it from encounter(s) you might spend a turn trading for it, right?
@@FOMOF glad to hear that! You helped me help you haha. So from this can we in general say that like 90% of the times you want to make a mek is it better to wait speed before getting to the encounter?

I thought we were talking about Engineering for some reason. Yeah, I like it better than what I did. Stealing it. ;)

I’d say so. The Militant Board is an exception in my opinion. I’ve got a three min video up on that one if you want to take a look.
FOMOF, the pic-in-pic of yourself is blocking the bottom encounter card option.
I’ll fix it before tonight’s stream.
I have a few more videos scheduled to publish with the current camera size, but I went ahead and fixed it for future videos.
Do you ever think its worth it to ignore the two encounters, and go for the rush on the factory?
I will sometimes do it with Saxony Militant.
Damn you are so good. Played a game with sax last night and just completely overthought it and got last place on a modular board lol
