Think

Hard choice on the worker there. Usually it’d be turtle, but against green you can get some mileage out of healing by clearing their board. I don’t use bloom much anyway…
It is a shame I had 3/4 combat tricks in the first hand though.

Thenk

I could kill his wisp, but it leaves me vulnerable to Favour+Growth Oni kill. Which on paper sounds fine, but it leaves me with only Tenderfoot, and he still gets to tech up.

Thinking

It’s unclear to me if this is the correct play. It prevents him from playing Tech 1s, and from building Tech 2, but it does allow him to play 3 tech 0s and put me on the back foot, since I really need to build Tech 2 next turn. Maybe being allowed to tech up first will be worth it though.

Big Think

By building my tech 2 before him, I have a significant advantage in being able to flood the board next turn. However, I don’t have any haste right now, so I probably can’t swing back. I’ll have to wait one turn and allow him to hit me. Then next turn, we’ll be putting Sergeants in, and maybe flagbearers after that.

you put a big think there? wonder what that means… :thinking:

Thoughts

hm… interesting - tech 2 peace calls for nature reclaims to deal with garrison. i wouldn’t dare to go for peace in his position - but let’s see what happens. i decided to go for balance. didn’t realize the synergy between btf and mimic up to now… but looks good to me. maybe i can also steal some haste from him if he plays a fencer again…

if i can gain initiative with lotta units, stampede also would be a nice addition… never thought that arg woult live long enough and that i could gather enough units. but atm my outlooks are not that bad (?)

edit: changed the gold values… they were from a previous version where i workered instead of the second basilisk…

I just change it every time to amuse myself.

Pretty good turn for me. Even if he has stampede, he’s hard pressed to actually kill anything important here. Next turn I’ll put my Free Speech up and running.

tough decisions to make here - hope you don’t got that serge in hand, but fencer and cadet :wink:

Thoughts

stampede would be nice to have… should i take down tech 1 or tech 2 with btf (???) - or garrison? think i’ll leave garrison for this turn, just to be able to play nature reclaims next one…

on second thought, i’ll probably won’t play btf altogether, but build a tower, cast nature reclaims next turn - hope i don’t regret this decision…

on third thought, i’ll go with cali and btf and tower… (?) take down his garrison and see if he got a second in hand for nature reclaims next turn

on final thought, i’ll go for his tech 1, prevent fencer(s)/cadet next turn

A wizard always draws the exact card he needs at the right time.

I however, am not a wizard.

I’m in a very good spot here. He might go for Tech 3 though, which could prove dangerous for me. Still, my Free Speech wall begins next turn. Let’s hope I hit critical mass before he hits t-rex.

Thinkin'

I’m on the cusp of winning. He didn’t build Tech 3, so I don’t have to fear t-rex next turn. If he builds tech 3 this turn, he can’t play enough board to prevent me from steam rolling him.

looks like gg to me @FrozenStorm

Wp btw! Sorry for not recognizing that before :wink:

Heh, no need to praise my play. You gave me a struggle, good game.

Maybe should have learned from @Unity and get moment’s peace out earlier :thinking:
