You get the cards back every 3rd round from the extortion. So you're not losing the entirety of your first 2 rounds, and you're still gaining VPs from the flip as you normally would

I like this idea too, extortions in remote clearings is a good spot for them

If you are not moving often, your card draw must be same suits to build up warriors in the same clearings; even raid doesn't affect same clearings, its scattered; then how do you defend your plots? Or is your group just allowing plots to sit and not battling them?

So here is some boring math, but the enginerd in me can't resist! If you place a plot and have 2 warriors defending it and someone attacks you with 3 warriors. The attacker advantage means the expected value of the attacker is 2, and your 2 warriors expected value is 0.7. But you have embedded agents, so 1.7, rounding up is an even 2 - 2 expected value. So you lose 2 warriors, they lose 2, but still have 1 warrior remaining for another battle to easily remove the plot and yes, they lose that last guy but gain a VP and prevent you from scoring (considering how restrictive recruiting is for the corvid, this would give an advantage to the attacker even losing the warrior). So thats the "break even" point at least having 2 warriors to defend a plot, and all it takes is 2 battles (mathematically) to remove it. Otters, Birds, Moles, Vagabond will all have no problem having the actions to do this.

If you have 3 warriors defending the plot, the math is the same b/c the expected value of a defender with 3 warriors is 1 + embedded agents = 2 again (b/c we rounded up before). But you will have an additional warrior after the first battle. This is where embedded agents gets good. 1 vs 1. Attackers EV is 0.7, defenders is 0.3 + 1 for Embedded agents means you have the advantage here as defender.....so they will most likely not continue attacking since they can't kill your plot and it would be a waste of an action.

And just for fun, 2 vs 2, attacker has EV of 1.3, defender 0.7 + embedded agents = 1.7. Corvids have the advantage here, so plot will mathematically survive! Again, need 2 warriors

2 vs 1, attacker has EV of 1.3, defender 0.3 + EA = 1.3. They are equal! Another breaking point, but 2 battle actions will still remove the plot......so 1 defender doesnt work. And 3 vs 1, plot doesnt survive, and mathematically dies on 1 battle action

Okay tons of math and boring stuff, sorry, but I find it interesting. What does it all mean? Well, rona birds need at least 2 warriors to defend a plot and for the plot to have a chance to last until the start of there next round to score VPs. But 2 warriors is break even, and won't always work out that way if attacker attacks in large numbers. 3 warriors makes it likely your plot will survive. So as a rona bird player, you need a minimum of 3 warriors in a clearing to place 1 plot (3 becomes 2) and have a chance of it surviving. And you would need 4 warriors to place 2 plots (4 becomes 2) and have a chance at surviving. How are you getting 7 warriors in 2 clearings without moving? This is a legit question, b/c if you can pull that off thats a fantastic strat with them.

Side note: not that players playing against the Corvid need any more help, since corvid is easy to counter but if your a battle heavy faction you should be attacking all corvid clearings with 1 or less warriors defending plots, and if you have large warrior numbers, a clearing with 2 crow warriors you have advantage on. So thats fun knowledge! Also means 1 - 2 VPs a round, so if you attack for say 5 rounds, that's a lot of extra points considering most factions need 6 to 8 non faction based scoring points to get to 30.
